tangled up in the chaos as preparations get under way. "today in the bay" starts right now. very good wednesday morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. we will not be tangling with the weather, at least for the most part today. lots of rain earlier in the week, but so far, clear to start out your day. >> yes. we will have a dry day. we're dealing with fog this morning that may slow you down as you drive to work or school. but look at these temperatures. it is cooler than we've had the past couple days. the rain is gone. we have temperatures in the upper 40s in san francisco and the north bay. heading into the low 60s today. it will be nice. 65 degrees in the south bay and the tri-valley, 65. san francisco 62 degrees. we're getting ready for more rain. i'll talk about that coming up in the micro climate forecast. let's see what's happening on the roads with the fog. >> we had fog cleeping through

this shot for oakland. the view great right now. now it crept into our san rafael camera. we're looking at a tough southbound 101. speeds close to the limit. it's right above the road deck here. we'll show you where both the areas have the orange highlighting. the north bay and east bay is where you're likely to get fog drifting through the area, even creeping over toward river more. south of there, no problems. back to you. there are problems on the peninsula, mike. that's where we're following breaking news. a shelter in place order is in effect for a community in san mateo. police on the hunt for a burglary suspect. a little more than two hours ago, officers got a call of an interrupted residential burglary in the area of hillsdale boulevard and countryside drive. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live there now. we understand police are actively looking for the suspect.

>> reporter: they have this section of the neighborhood locked down. they're asking people who live in this neighborhood to stay inside until they give the all clear in the search for the second burglary suspect. we're on hillsdale right by green oak kourt. this is an area north of laurel wood park and east of highway 92. it was around 2:00 this morning when a homeowner interrupted a burglary. when officers arrived they tried to suss due obdue a woman. the officer was forced to fire. she was not hit. the officer was not hurt either. police haven't said what she did to threaten his well-being. the reason police have continued to lock down the neighborhood, they're still looking for a second burglary suspect, a man. san mateo police of course are involved in this, south san francisco police and the san mateo county sheriff's office.

i'm looking here. you won't be able to see. canine dogs have been employed in the search for a man, a burglary suspect who tried to or did break into a home here on green oak court. again, it was a little before 3:00 this morning. reporting live here in san mateo. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, bob. new developments now and insight into what happened inside this greyhound bus moments before it overturned on highway 101 yesterday killing two women. we know the bus trip started in los angeles overnight, making for a very long ride. now the chp says an admission by the bus driver is shedding new light into what might have happened. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez has been tracking the latest on the story for nearly 24 hours. kris, where does the investigation go from here? >> reporter: well, we know the chp investigators have quite a number of things they're working

with. they have the bus towed to this yard here in gilroy. but also they have a statement from the bus driver himself. there's also surveillance video from inside that bus. now we know there are passengers who claim they were awake at the time and that the bus driver seemed tired. the driver is there man, gary bonslater, a 58-year-old man who has been driving for greyhound for 26 years. he's from southern california, specifically the town of victorville. until now he had a clean driving record. that changed just before 7:00 yesterday morning as he crashed his greyhound bus into those crash barrels between the northbound highway 101 car pool lane and the connector to the highway 85 hov lane. there were 20 passengers on board. the bus started its journey in south earn california, in l.a., at 12:30 the night before. most told investigators they were asleep. a few did tell investigators that they thought the driver

seemed drowsy. they say he got a cup of coffee in gilroy a few moments before. according to chp bonslater admitted to investigators that he was tired but he did not fall asleep at the wheel. >> he said that he remembered the bus striking the black barrels out here, before the collision. and the next thing he remembered is the bus on its side. >> reporter: now, the chp also interviewed a different driver who was a few hundred feet back and saw that crash happen before being struck by debris. other witnesses told investigators that they saw the bus weaving between lanes in that heavy, heavy rain that was falling around this time yesterday before the bus flipped. two women were killed, as you said. one man has major injuries. seven others were transported to the hospital with minor injuries. one of them just an 8-year-old boy. driver fatigue is one of the

factors that investigators are going to look at. federal regulations require that a bus driver get at least eight hours of sleep before a long drive. greyhound requires nine. back in 2004 exceeding those parameters was one of the biggest violations for commercial drivers. in gilroy, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> a lot of questions left to an sefrmt thank you, kris. family members have identified one of the victims. the son of 51-year-old fely olivera says she was taking the bus home after a visit to los angeles. she recently immigrated from the philippines to california. crash survivors meantime are talking about their nightmare experience. 22-year-old christopher mcclul en was among those 20 passengers. he said he was awakened with a jolt. >> hear a lot of screaming,

honestly. it was five rolls that happened. a lot of chaos. i actually looked around in the moment when i was secure myself, seeing just everything happen, everything spinning, everything in slow motion, actually a barrel roll, jump down to where your feet would be and i made sure i was secure, kind of like a human seatbelt. >> mcclellan says he and other passengers helped survivors from the bus, even going back inside to gather some of those passengers' belongings. our coverage of this fatal bus crash continues across our digital platforms. go to nbcbayarea.com to see more viewer video of the crash or you can download our free app to keep up with the breaking news. it is 5:07. sadly new details are not good on two missing uc santa cruz students. the gho coast guard is giving up on the search. a big wave knocked three onto the water. one managed to get back up onto the rocks.

the other two, a 19-year-old woman and 25-year-old man have not been seen since. the coast guard tried to search yesterday, but the weather was rough. the man and woman were part of a group of five students at bonnie dune beach south of davenport. >> with the winds obviously playing a roll in the delay with the helicopter and coast guard. for us, getting off rode with our engines and not getting stuck has been an issue, also. >> investigators are not revealing the names of the two missing students, but they're both said to be originally from san jose. >> at 5:08 right now, happening later today, the countdown on, and super bowl 50 is now only 18 days away. you knew that. that means preparations are about to go into full force. for more on that, "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang live from san francisco where a new city is popping up, super bowl city, which will become a reality very soon. >> reporter: very soon, sam. we don't know exactly what time.

we should start seeing equipment loaded at justin herman plaza. the embarcadero realready know can get pretty bad with traffic. expect it to get even worse. this entire stretch from washington through this area starting this saturday. you can see city crews started putting cones out. that's because you see some of them working on the trees. they're trying to trim the trees to prepare for this super bowl city. a lot of effort going in weeks ahead of the actual super bowl. a giant fan village is what we're talking about taking over the foot of market street by the embarcadero. only one liechb will be rerouted as far as muni is concerned. those using the f line from castro to downtown will take shuttles instead of street cars. take a look at some of those closures for almost three weeks. not just for super bowl city,

but also around the moss coney center hosting the nfl experience, an interactive theme park which will require tickets. you see battery and first street from washington to harrison. mind you, that's an area where there's a lot of construction zones, a lot of cranes out and about. it should not be very pretty. back here live, you can see starting last night at 5:00, already the toe away zone in effect through the 12th of february. activities really start on the 30th through february 7th. but we're talking about a lot more padding time in order to get everything set up and torn down. live in san francisco, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> it's happening in the bay area. the city within the city. right now, a check of the weather. fog this morning, kari. >> you have to watch out for that this morning. it's not that widespread, but especially along the peninsula and in parts of the east bay and

tri-valley we see low visibility where you see the darker shades of gray around napa as well and santa rosa and into the rest of the day, temperatures warming up nicely, into the mid 60s for most of us, and a mix of sun and clouds. our next chance of rain is knocking on the door. we'll talk about that coming up in a few min ts. let's see what's happening on the roads with mike. >> we're seeing a build as far as the number of cars hitting the road. we're also seeing influence from the fog that you're talking about. it's drifting around. west 580, your commute direction building up. the volume, still close to the limit. look at your mapped and we do see the orange highlighting indicating fog throughout this area and into the north bay, anywhere south of the san mateo bridge clear and easy, clear to see as well. back to you. coming up, from actor to hero, not just playing one on the silver screen. the real life drama that played out right in front of jamie foxx's home. new this morning: =vo= three

the actor to thank him for his bravery. >> i' just so happy it happened here and there were the right people here. >> the driver is in the hospital with third degree burns and a broken collar bone. police say he will be charged with driving under the influence. >> pretty amazing. instinct clearly kicked in for jamie foxx. >> if you looking for more jamie foxx action, you might want to check netflix. >> netflix opened its book for investors yesterday afternoon and said growth worldwide was good. growth here in the united ates not quite what experts expected. it warned price increases were coming, most likely $2.00 per account. new customers are paying that increase. current customers are not, but they will soon. when? netflix just says soon.

>> another big question everyone in the tv industry is asking is how many people actually watch netflix. the broadcast industry wants you to think it's less. netflix wants you to think it's more. netflix wopt say. there's a bit of a dust-up between network and netflix. nbc execs say watching the shows week to week is the way god intended tv. netflix responded by saying our investors are not as sure of god's intentions for tv and instead think that internet tv will gain shares for many years. dick costolo wants to make fitness fun again. he joins a crowded field including apple and fit bit. twitter stock suffered on tuesday as investors suffered. landon dowdy joins us with a look ahead in the mashlgts. >> wall street could be set for another sell off today.

the answer is some drones are not going to have landing gear because that will save them a lot of weight. there's the landing. they stuck it. some of the drones will not have landing gear to save weight. that will be a way to recover them, or at least they think. >> do you think elon musk might be able to use that? >> drive-through food. give me a burger! >> food, rides and fog to start off your day. >> a lot to deal with as you head out the door. visibility low in spots. it is nice and cool and we're in for a very mild day as we take a live look at the golden gate bridge. you may encounter patches of fog. allow extra time to get where you're going. our temperatures are keerl than

we've seen the past couple days. it's not too bad. how about 44 in livermore. 49 in san jose and napa now at 50 degrees. into the day, let's take it hour by hour in san jose. still clouds all through out the morning and then the sun starts to peek out right around noon. that will be a good time to take the lunch outside. as we reach into the low 60s, we will start to see the clouds moving back in this evening. we've had quite a bit of rain. i know you're wondering where do we stand now. since october 1st which begins the rainfall year. san jose has over 18 inches of rain which is almost where we should be. san francisco over the percentage of normal. oakland may still have some work to do. we've had over eight inches of rain. 83% of normal. livermore just about on target with 7.5 inches of rain and san jose has had eight inches of rain which is well above normal. hopefully over these next few days with the next weather

systems moving in, we can catch up the normal and go even above in some of the spots like oakland. the rainy weather continues and returns as we go thursday night into early friday. the rain futurecast shows we are still going to see clouds all through out the day today and tomorrow. then the rain starts to move in. this one looks to linger a little longer between thursday night into the day on friday with light rain and finally wrapping up early on sunday. our temperatures will be nice and mild, upper 50s to lower 60s. let's see what's happening on the roads now with mike. >> kari we have our chp reports and our live cameras. live camera came in handy here in san jose. we see flashing lights not on the chp report, but it looks like a tow truck has arrived. this is out of the roadway on the story road on-ramp as it merges with north 101. we don't see a lot of slowing at the scene and we don't see any slowing at our sensors.

we should start to see a little slowing. there's the south bay. no problems here for visibility or for the drive. the visibility may be an issue. fog likely in patches and low clouds drift through the area. the hills through danville, approaching the bay bridge, the oakland hills as well. the san mateo bridge moves smoothly and clearly. the bay bridge, no problems for the toll plaza few. we have a couple cars waiting for the cash lanes. >> waiting for a statue to be rushed. finally it is. a 300 pound bronze statue once lost, now found. the man behind bars accused of stealing that coveted statue.

it is everything, it turns out the lawsuit seesking to block a new warriors waut ar arena might come down to three things, location, location, location. a lawsuit was filed because there is unhappiness about the location near the medical facility in mission bay. the suit was filed in sacramento because the mission bay alliance believes state laws were violated in the environmental impact report. the examiner now reports the team has filed a motion to transfer the location of that lawsuit to san francisco. the warriors say their current oppelo case is likely going to remain there through at least 2018 due to this looming legal battle. coming up, an update where police shut down a neighborhood as they hunt for a burglary suspect. a live update from the scene next. joining us. i'm laura garcia

got a call of an interrupted residential burglary in the san mateo hills. you're seeing the map of the location right there. police are telling people to shelter in place in that area near hillsdale vul vard and country side drive. bob redell is live on the scene. canines have joined the search for the suspect. do you know where things stand? >> reporter: good morning, sam. we know they're still looking for this man, one of two burglary suspects. they're still looking for the man. we're on countryside drive, one of the roads you're mentioning where they're asking people who live on the streets to stay inside. most people are still asleep and probably not aware of what's going on. there are several officers and one canine searching that area. we're up the hill, a ways from here on green oak court earlier where they have a similar search going on. this started around 2:45.

a homeowner interrupted somebody, breaking into their home. they called 911. when the police arrived, they encountered one of the suspects, the woman. she tried to flee. police say there was some sort of brief altercation between the officer and the woman and that the officer felt threatened for his life. so in defense of his life. police tell us he felt the need to pull out his firearm. he shot at the woman, did not hit her but they did get her taken into custody. the officer was not hurt. they're still searching for the second burglary suspect who is a man who they believe might still be in this general area, this general neighborhood which they have partially locked down. we're talking art parts of countryside drive and green oak court. reporting live in san mateo, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. now to a developing story at 5:32 we've been following for nearly 24 hours. that greyhound bus that

overturned in south san jose killing two people on board. now an investigation is under way to find out what went wrong. here is what we know so far. the bus trip started in los angeles overnight with planned stops in san jose, san francisco and oakland. the chp says the long trip may have contributed to the crash. one of the two women has been identified as 51-year-old fely olivera. nine others were taken to the hospital. >> the question is where does the vision go from here? we turn now to "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. >> reporter: investigators from the chp and from the national traffic safety administration. they'll be looking at this bus at a tow yard here in gilroy. we know they're looking closely at driver fatigue. this is the driver. she a 58-year-old man by the name of gary bonslater.

he's seen in a profile picture from facebook. he's been driving for greyhound for 26 years, originally from victorville in southern california. until now, he had a clean driving record. that changed yesterday morning as he crashed the bus into the crash barrels between northbound highway 101 car pool lane and the connector to the 85 hov lane. there were 20 passengers on board that bus that started the journey from l.a. to the bay area at 12:30 the night before. most of the passengers told investigate e investigators said they were asleep at the time of the crash. a few said they thought the driver seemed drowsy and he got a cup of coffee in gilroy 20 miles down the road. chp says bonslater agreed being tired but said he did not fall asleep. >> he said heemembered the bus striking -- there were black

barrels out here before the collision which you can see beyond the bus now. the next thing he remembered is the bus on its side. >> reporter: chp interviewed a different driver a few hundred feet behind who saw the crash happen before being struck by debris. others say they saw the bus driving between lanes in the heavy rain just before it flipped yesterday morning. there's surveillance video from on board the bus. as you said, two women were killed, one man has major injuries and eight other passengers went to the hospital with minor injuries, one of them an 8-year-old boy. driver fatigue is one of the factors that federal regulators are monitoring. they require that drivers get at least eight hours of sleep before they hit the road. greyhound bus requires their drivers sleep nine hours before. but again, driver fatigue seems to be a consideration in this case. it also appears to be one of the main violations according to

federal regulators. in gilroy, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, kris. very tragic. our coverage of this deadly bus crash continues across all our digital platforms. go to nbcbayarea.com to see more viewer videos of that crash or you can download our free app to keep up with the breaking news. 5:36. happening today, bay area lawmakers gather in san francisco to present a series of measures they hope for tour bus safety. the latest incident, a tour bus that hit and killed a man over the weekend the city's lower pacific heights. it includes tighter regulations, tighter safety standards and more inspection programs. the salinas couple accused of killing a pair of toddlers and torturing another. prosecutors say 39-year-old huntsman and 17-year-old gonzalo

hoverboards have been making headlines for starting fires. in this fire in brent wood, no one was injured but there was damage. the super bowl only 18 days away. that means preparations are about to be in full force. "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang live in san francisco where super bowl city will soon become a reality. good morning, steph. >> good morning, laura. we're talking a van village, concert venue. crews are start to arrive at justin herman plaza at some point today. city crews arrived early, 4:30 this morning to set up the cones inside the head of this tree trimming that's going on. i did talk to one guy. he said, yes, this is specifically for super bowl city. this is a giant sand village taking over the foot of market by the embarcadero. only one weekend line in terms of transit will be rerouted on

bridge. advocates will look at possible design options. there's already a path on the bridge's eastern span which will eventually terminate at yerba buena island. why toll authorities look into extending the path, the price tag would be pretty pricey. board members will attend tonight's meeting the provide feedback on possible design options. a huge drill happening today on the bay. you might see a lot of activity, even smoke if you're around the bay at all. the golden gate bridge district is teaming up with police and fire departments as well as the coast guard to pull it all off. they start at treasure island and eventually move that drill into the water. south of richmond-san rafael bridge. the idea is to improve first responder skills in handling ever thing from major disasters to terrorist attacks. there u a new class at

stanford and you might say it's turning some heads. it's teaching students about the business of the super bowl. the continuing education class kicked off last night and people of all ages signed up. a palo alto high school teacher said she's looking for career paths she can share with her students. >> more than 50% of our students are student athletes. it's fantastic for them to have their eyes open to how they can actually make a career out of this industry. >> a little sports mkting, a little sports management. the instructor is a sports management consultant. he says students will learn the pros and the cons of hosting super bowl 50. thousands of students locked out when corinthian college was shut down, they were able to get their tuition back. >> thousands more are using the same law to get student laws forgiven even if they didn't go

to corinthian. what exactly is going on here. >> we're talking about a federal law that is surprisingly vague. if your college ripped you off, you can get your student loans forgiven. students paid their tuition and showed up to locked doors. those loans were fof are forgiven. the cost the u.s. government paid, about $28 million. there are lots of other trade schools out there that make really big promises about job placement and salary, and in some cases students aren't getting what they were promised. the "wall street journal" this morning says the federal law is so poorly written and there are so many kids that went to these trade schools or for-profit colleges -- schools make such wild promises -- this whole thing could cost taxpayers billions of dollars because they're all asking for their tuition back. wall street did okay on

tuesday. but another selloff could come today. oil prices below $28 a barrel. low oil prices have caused real problems for president obama's promise to get 2 million electric cars on the road. right now there are about 400,000. cars like the leaf have not sold as well as manufacturers had hoped. it's not because gas is cheaper than electricity. it's not. it's still cheaper to charge than fill up. the probable is the electric cars tend to be more expensive. there's talk that the fed might raise tack breaks from $7500 to $10,000 to try to get people to bialuy electric cars. the golden arches with chocolate drizzle. the sweet and the salty. in japan mcdonald's is rolling
