there is a lot going on there. obviously you have that terrible fire ball crash on 101, the ntsb investigating whether that tesla was on autopilot at the time and whether the crash barriers were properly set up along the highway. then several ratings agencies once again said they were worried about tesla's debt and its ability to build the model 3. frankly, these are things i have been telling you for more than a year. brand-new this morning facebook says it will let you change your privacy settings on your phone, something you normally had to go to the web to do and the company says mark zuckerberg is willing to testify before congress, though nobody set a date. now, we've been talking for a while about what the cambridge analytica scandal has done to facebook stock. take a look at this. this is the high just a couple days ago. all the way down, here is the scandal, to today. this area in here represents tens of billions of dollars worth of loss of value in market cap. there is basically a starbucks

worth of value right here. facebook has lost more value in this scandal than starbucks is worth. now, the data scientist who blew the whistle on all of this testified before a committee in parliament yesterday. remember cambridge analytica is british from cambridge, obviously. christopher wylie says that -- he is the pink haired guy -- says cambridge analytica harvested the personal information of 50 million facebook users and used that material in the trump campaign. there are also new allegations a scientist from palo alto based palatneer made that happen. they told the "new york times" they are investigating. it is run by peter keel an early facebook investor, member of the board on facebook as well and was active with the trump campaign as well. we are teasing that one out trying to figure out where that one goes, but this story continues to go. >> thank you for putting it in perspective of how much value facebook has lost. >> tremendous. >> that is a whole lot of money.

that. ♪ >> it's a college class. that florida college professor makes his students dance in front of the entire class and we're kind of hoping this guy is never late again. looking at new video going viral of the punishment students get for being tardy is to an american literature class. this is at a college in florida we're told no matter the moves it will not affect your grade, but we want to know what do you think? is this an appropriate punishment? i did post a poll on twitter so go and vote now. is it appropriate? is it public humiliation or would you have been the one dancing at the front of the class? >> i got to the set a little bit late this morning -- >> you danced in? >> i don't think so. i think most people would be like, okay, i'll dance. >> i know i would.

santa rosa 83 degrees, so maybe you're making plans to head to the beach if you are out on spring break, it's going fairly cool, looking at low 50s throughout the morning but by noontime 64 degrees and we will hold those temperatures steady in the mid to upper 60s there and heading up some of the hiking trails in the north bay, it's going to be perfect. i think abo that. that's where we will be for noon. sunshine continues to warm up our temperatures and we will be in the upper 70s later today. if you're going to the sierra let's talk about this snow pack because we are still really lacking there and we're done with the snow for now. the central sierra is at about 65% of normal after getting up to 18 feet of snow over the past several weeks. squaw valley is looking good, some mid 50s and we will talk about that weekend forecast in about 20 minutes. we will take a look at our seven-day forecast now for san francisco, looking good easter sunday, low 60s. for the inland areas 73 degrees

just started heading in toward concord. the bay bridge no real backup, the maze moves very smoothly, a slight backup starting for the cash lanes as well and the transit times are no problem here. we have a smooth ride on the rails. back to you. it is 5:21 right now. coming up next on "today in the bay," terrifying moments at cal tech. the reason thousands of students were forced to evacuate overnight. plus -- >> it looks like an exit, a miscalculation i suppose. >> this morning we are hearing from the driver of this rogue uber car, the popular app he's blaming for this accident. crewse

laboratory there. the school says the fire was contained to one lab and that crews were able to put it out quickly but the situation did prompt first responders to evacuate that entire building. no one was hurt. this morning we're learning how a san francisco uber driver managed to get stuck on stairs as you see right here near church and market earlier this week. that driver is saying he followed directions from google maps and that led him to a precarious situation. the 74-year-old driver says he had to cut through a parking lot then google maps appeared to guide him right to those steps. >> it is kind of confusion where to go, left or right, because it looks like an exit to go the left turn. a miscalculation i suppose. >> that driver goes on to tell us that his car repairs will cost a couple thousand dollars. google says that it's looking into the incident.

>> i wonder if he got into the walking directions, do you know how you can switch from driving directions to transit to walking. >> maybe he didn't know about that. i never thought about that. new for you this morning making communion more inclusive. >> a lot of folks prepare to go to church for easter sunday and the vatican says there is no such thing as completely gluten communion. a new york priest says most people with gluten issues can tolerate a low gluten alternative. >> on the alter you would have the regular host in a dish but then you would have a smaller one or a little length called a picks where you would have those low gluten hosts as well. most parishes, i think, do that. >> they don't want anyone to feel discouraged from taking part. i've been at communion where people have not taken the wine but still participated in the

communion as well. you just never know. coming up next on "today in the bay," chaos on campus. >> there was a lot of running, people dropping stuff. >> the south bay students returning to class today after a threatening call for thousands to flee to safety. plus wrapping up, the closure many victims from the pulse nightclub shooting could feel today as the gunman's widow heads back to court. francisco fo

7:00 this morning as you walk to school and by recess we are in the 60s. so it's going to be a beautiful afternoon with highs today reaching the low 70s, low 80s for the inland areas and the coast in the upper 60s. we will talk about the weekend coming up, but mike is saying so far it's pretty quiet on the roadways. >> it is, but we're getting more cars out there. there's traffic out there, just not a lot of incidents. this one just popped up in the last few seconds, looks like it's around is a little over there for west 580. that would be your commute direction so we will check with chp. getting toward the bay bridge it's a smooth drive. we have this backup because the metering lights are on right on schedule at the toll plaza. nothing unusual about that. the drive there for your freeways feeding through the maze just one minute longer to for highway 4 down to the bay bridge for the east shore freeway and that's standard right now. back to you. it is 5 # 1:00. emotions continue to run very high in sacramento where police shot and killed an unarmed black man. the city council was supposed to talk about this issue last

night, but take a look at what happened instead. that was outside of the chambers but inside the chambers dozens of people voiced their outrage over that police shooting of stephon clark. the meeting was eventually shut down all together. >> "today in the bay's" joe fryer is live in sacramento ahead of what could be another day of protests. joe? >> reporter: that's right, marcus and kris. it was an emotional evening, another emotional evening here in sacramento. last night the city council had basically set aside the whole evening for a special meeting just to discuss the shooting death of stephon clark. hundreds attended filling the council chambers, we're told nearly 300 people had signed up to speak but on a couple of occasions things got to tense the mayor actually had to call for a recess to try to calm things down. in fact, the meeting which was supposed to last about six hours ended up lasting only about three and a half hours before it was called off.

then during that meeting some protesters who couldn't get inside actually moved to the sacramento kings arena for the second time in a week protesters blocked the entrance to the arena which kept many fans from getting inside. now, clark was shot and killed last week by two officers who say they thought he had a gun, but it was actually a cellphone. we sat down yesterday with clark's grandmother, take a listen to what she had to say. >> and why would you empty 20 bullets on an unarmed man? why would you do that? >> do you want to see charges in this case? >> yes. yes. >> now, after the investigation it is the county district attorney who will ultimately determine if the two police officers involved should be charged, but yesterday california's department of justice announced that it is also joining this investigation and will conduct an independent review. this doesn't mean the state is taking over the investigation, but it will offer an independent

eye into this case. some people hope that will calm things down and lead to more accountability, but not everyone is convinced that that is going to be the answer to try to calm things down here in sacramento. marcus and kris? >> thank you very much, joe. we will continue to watch joe's full report that's coming up right after "today in the bay" on the "today" show. >> it is 5:34 right now. happening today school is back in session this morning at cupertino high school after a chaotic day on campus. snapchat video shows students running for their lives yesterday after that school got a threatening robocall. "today in the bay's" roz plater is live in cupertino with those frightening moments and where the threat reportedly came from. this is not what we like to see in our schools, roz. it must have been terrifying. >> reporter: it had been to be terrifying. this is an emergency evacuation during their lunch hour. they're certainly hoping to get things back to normal today. parents and teachers told us it was both frustrating and frightening at the same time.

take a look at this snapchat video showing the chaos as those students were fleeing the school after that school got a robocall threat about 1:00 in the afternoon. students were told to get off campus as quickly as they could, some ran to nearby businesses for shelter and to their parents to pick them t was a little bit. you wouldn't expect something like this this to happen in the middle of the day. >> saw a bunch of cops. i was furious, like this has got to stop. >> deputies searched the campus but found no credible threat and gave the all clear about an hour and a half later. turns out a deputies say the robocall came from a number that has been traced to similar threats at schools across the country. this was also the second time around for students at this school. they had to be emergency -- had an emergency evacuation last month after a bomb threat so something they certainly do not want to get used to and hopefully getting pack to normal for today.

for now we're live in cupertino, i'm roz plater, "today in the bay." >> certainly a scary situation there, roz. thank you so much. happening today closing arguments are expected to quinn begin in the trial for the which had bow of the pulse nightclub shooter. noor salman is accused of aiding and abetting her husband omar mateen. he was behind the terror attack at the orlando nightclub in june of 2016. the defense rested yesterday and prosecutors didn't call any rebuttal witnesses. prosecutors argued salman knew her husband was buying rounds of ammunition and she knew about his plan to open fire inside the nightclub. mateen killed 49 people in that attack. happening today the family of a man who was shot and killed by police last month will demand body camera video of the incident be released. on february 13 vallejo police shot and killed ra nell foster. investigators say he was riding his back in an unsafe manner and when they tried to stop him he took off. he died during an altercation with officers and police call

this yesterday. they say one driver creatively tried to zip through the carpool lane on 680 until officers caught up with him. the chp also joked that if the driver expects his passenger to split the ticket, he may be waiting a while. #mannequinmanipulation. mike, you've seen it all. >> it's out there, but instead of showing when the carpoolers have a mannequin in the car, show the person who was trying to get away with it, then maybe -- >> yeah, right? a little carpool shaming. over here we're looking at san jose as well, 101 no problems. with he did have a truck in the middle point until just seconds ago. no more distraction right here. this slowing, though, is because we typically see the burst of traffic coming up 101 north of the 680 and 280 interchange or change in the freeway there. as we zoom out most of the bay looks really good, the crash west 580 over there around el charro and reportedly on the right hand shoulder we see a

tiny bit of slowing but that may be because of the typical morning commute. no delays on these transit systems, as we come back to the desk i want to warn folks because car number one -- or rain number 7 today is reserved for people going to great america. >> okay. >> probably excited students. >> i will write that down. >> very, very specific. we will make sure we remember that. it would be a very nice day to go to great america. >> it would. it's going to be perfect today and that weather continues into the weekend. we are just going to cool it down a few degrees. the coast will be at 64 degrees on saturday, the bay at 70 degrees and 75 inland and easter sunday in san jose it's going to be for the -- reaching into the low 70s, the bay at 70 degrees and the coast at 63 degrees. the easter egg hunt and the parade will be happening in sausalito on saturday and it will start out in the upper 50s for the parade and then as you head out there and enjoy the day

ways. >> senior investigative report were vicky nguyen found that thousands of drivers are being fined for something they didn't do. >> reporter: good morning. our investigation began with a tip from a father and son who both received tickets for using the fast track express lanes in the east bay, both had their tickets overturned because they weren't at fault. there was photo evidence. in one case the cameras read the license plate incorrectly in the other the car was next to the express lane not in it. we learned they are far from alone. since january of 2017 the agency in charge of sending out express lane violations has sent out more than 58,000 bills that were wrong. that adds up to $1.4 million in fines that were later dismissed. a spokesman for the bay area toll authority says the technology is getting better, which should cut down on the errors, but you should check your fast track statement often to make sure you are not being charged for using the express lanes when you aren't and if you

are billed by mistake file an appeal. to see our full report and find out which lanes had the highest rate of faulting billing going to nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. if you have a story for our investigative unit it's easy, give them a call that number 888-996-tips or go to that the website nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. it is 5:57. new this morning a live saving new technology for firefighters. menlo park released this video here showing crews using augmented reality in order to see through the smoke. it is called see through vision enhancement, it was created by a san francisco company called quake technologies. it uses that augmented reality glasses and a thermal camera inside the firefighters' breathing masks so they can see things a little more clearly. happening today a peninsula city takes a major step towards becoming age friendly. the city of palo alto is holding a public forum to talk about
