from nbc news, this is "today" with sheinelle jones, craig melvin, and dylan dreyer live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning, welcome to "today," and thank you for joining us on this saturday morning. >> scary scene in the skies out in seattle overnight. it's got a lot of folks asking some questions this morning. >> in fact, it is our top story this morning. this wild overnight breaking news where an airline worker somehow stole a 76-seater plane from washington's sea-tac airport and started flying it. luckily no one else was on board at the time, and the plane eventually crashed into a remote island. hans nichols is near the scene where the plane went down. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. right behind me about a mile away is ketron island. that's where the plane crashed. it was a fiery scene. a lot of questions tonight about just how this happened and what security measures might be put in place to make sure it doesn't

happen again. smoke rising overnight from a small remote island off the coast of seattle after a hijacked horizon airlines plane slammed into the ground. this after a wild scene in the air. >> hey, you think about landing this successfully? give me a job as a pilot? >>. >> reporter: jovial and strange words from a man who had stolen an airplane from the sea-tac airport. >> what the [ bleep ] is he doing over here? >> flying around, and -- >> what is happening right now? >> he needs help controlling his aircraft. >> no, i mean, i don't need that much help. i played some video games before. >> reporter: officials say a ground service agent employed by horizon, part of alaskan airlines, somehow stole this turbo-prop aircraft with 76 seats. he was then able to take off, flying for 15 minutes before that fiery crash. >> that is not a drone. that is a real plane.

>> reporter: stunned onlookers watched as the pilot attempted stunts in the air. >> did a loop-de-loop. >> reporter: fighter jets scrambled to get by his side. the whole time air traffic control, in contact with the pilot, tried to coax him down. >> we're trying to find a place for you to land safely. >> reporter: the man apparently suicidal. >> i've got a lot of people that care about me, and it's going to disappoint them to hear that i did this. >> there's no indication that there was any -- an attempt to attack anybody or anything other than taking an airplane without permission, stealing an airplane, and flying it around. >> just a broken guy. got a few screws loose, i guess. never really knew it until now. >> reporter: moments later, a huge plume of black smoke rose from ketron island as the air force pilots trailing the aircraft say they witnessed it go down. >> our hearts are with the family of the individual aboard,

as well as all our alaska airline and horizon air employees. >> reporter: the pierce county sheriff's office tweeting, "confirmed info. this is a single suicidal male. we know who he is, no others involved." >> how concerned should national security officials be about this? >> reporter: national security officials and officials here are saying it isn't a national security threat, but there are questions and concerns about how an individual like this is able to get aboard a commercial jet, a commercial plane, especially in a part of the country here in the puget sound area where there's so many military installations. you have air force, navy, army, that may be one reason that they are able to scramble those jets so quickly to intercept this plane. guys? >> a good point. good reporting. thank you. let's bring in captain john cox, an nbc news aviation analyst. good morning to you. let's pick up right where hans left off there. we're talking about a commercial jet here, a plane that can carry upwards of 70 people.

here's a guy somehow able to get behind the controls and fly for about 15 minutes. how does something like this happen? how easy is it to do something like this? >> we have to put this in perspective. this is an airline employee. he's been vetted, had a background check, has identification. it's routine that people maintain clean airplanes. they're going to and from airplanes all the time. what's unusual here is the level of knowledge that this individual had to be able to start the airplane, taxi it, to know where the runway was. those are things that not normal -- normally known. for him to get airborne and be able to fly the airplane even though he had, quote, played some video games, that's one of the surprising features here. >> there's another piece of this. at least air traffic control

were on top of it. they were on to this guy, talking to him, trying to get in contact as he was on the runway. what did they do right? >> i think the air traffic controllers deserve commentatdan here. when you listen to the control tower who knows that he's an airplane he's not talking to there and keeping other aircraft away from it, he's repeatedly asking who's on 1-6 center, the runway. when it takes off he immediately then notifies the security people that they've got an unauthorized departure off of sea-tac, and they respond accordingly. then the other controllers that talk to the airplane in flight, when you listen to those controllers, that is consummate professionalism on their part. they did everything they could to reach out to this individual and give them the opportunity to land it. >> is there something that we can be doing that we're not doing from a security standpoint

to prevent something like this from happening again? >> i think today will begin an in-depth investigation of exactly what happened and to see if there were any weaknesses in the security system exposed. until that investigation's complete, we really don't have enough information to answer that yet. >> nbc news aviation expert, john cox. thank you. now to another big story this morning. police in charlottesville, virginia, are on high alert this weekend with the one-year anniversary of those violent white nationalist protests just a day away. all protest permits denied with the city under a state of emergency. nbc's maya rodriguez is there with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is the place where 32-year-old heather heyer died last year after a man attending the unite the right rally plowed into a group of counterprotesters. they've renamed the street in her honor. one of many changes since then. and now they are bracing for

what this weekend might bring. this morning, the statue of robert e. lee looms large inside the charlottesville park that once bore his name. the site of last year's violent clashes between those attending the unite the right rally and counterprotesters. after criticism of how law enforcement handled the protests last year, the new chief of police asserting that this year there will not be a repeat. >> we will not tolerate any forms of violence in the community. >> reporter: unite the right organizers planned for a second rally here, but the city of charlottesville denied their permit. instead they now plan to hold an anniversary rally sunday in washington, d.c., at a park across from the white house. despite the change in venue, the state of virginia and charlottesville remain under a state of emergency with a heavy police presence and multiple street closures. >> i'm hoping that nothing terrible happens like last year. >> reporter: along with heather heyer, virginia state police

trooper burk bates and jay colon also died last year on the day of the protests after the helicopter they were using to monitor what was going on from the air crashed outside of town. for the mother of heather heyer, the past year has brought her pain and purpose. what would you like her legacy to be? >> a personal call to action. that's what heather would want, is for people to stand up and pay attention. >> reporter: this as she picks up where her daughter left off in crusading for social justice. >> it's truly a heart movement. it has to start from inside the heart, and that takes having difficult conversations. >> the robert e. lee statue that was the focal point of this last year, tell stay in the park in charlottesville? >> reporter: right now it's mired in a legal tug-of-war, and it has been for the last couple of years. part of the issue is that there's a state law preventing the removal of confederate monuments. for now that statue is going to stay right where it is in the

park. >> thank you. also this morning, president trump's former aide and "apprentice" star omarosa is making explosive claims in her tell-all book about her time with the president. omarosa writing that mr. trump used the "n" word while around the set of "the apprentice," a claim the white house says is completely false. kelly o'donnell is traveling with the president. she is near his new jersey golf club. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, craig. even after she was fired last december from the white house office of public liaison, omarosa said the president's daughter-in-law offered her a job with the campaign at $15,000 a month. she says it came with a restrictive nondisclosure agreement that would forbid her from ever talking about the president or the trump family. no stranger to controversy, omarosa manigault newman has plenty to say now. damaging but unverified claims from omarosa manigault newman

about the president who made her both a reality tv villain -- >> she helped make me a star -- >> reporter: and a white house official. >> omarosa's a very nice person. no one knows that. >> reporter: ousted from the white house last december, she has a new book,"unhinged," where she claims -- >> i was told exactly what donald trump said, yes, the "n" word, and others in a classic trump-goes-nuclear rant. >> reporter: she writes that she was told about tapes that were allegedly recorded during the production of "the apprentice" where trump is used as describing as using -- is described as using the "n" word but she contradicted herself -- >> i heard the tape. >> reporter: when challenged -- >> it sounds like you heard his account. did you hear the tape? >> i did. girl, did you read my book? >> reporter: she also writes, "the person i'd thought i'd

known so well for so long was actually a racist." but after she was out of the administration, she had defended the president. >> donald trump is racial, but he is not a racist. >> reporter: she also describes president trump as behaving like "a dog off the leash" when at mar-a-lago events without his wife. the white house punched back with a statement. "this book is riddled with lies and false accusations. it's sad that a disgruntled former white house employee is trying to profit off these false attacks." >> some other news, michael avenatti, attorney for stormy daniels, made this appearance at a democratic dinner in iowa last night. is michael avenatti really laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign? >> reporter: he's certainly hinting. this is one of those dinners where often candidates debut to the all-important iowa voters. and avenatti was talking about political work from the past and urging democrats to be tougher

against a re-election campaign where donald trump would be a fighter as he described it. he also told democrats to put aside michelle obama's advice when they go low, we go high. he said when they go low, we should hit harder. cra craig. >> omarosa is joining chuck todd for an exclusive interview tomorrow on "meet the press." now a case against monsanto, orred to pay hundreds of millions to a man that got terminal cancer after using the weed killer for years. steve patterson has more. >> reporter: this morning fallout from a monumental verdict. >> this case was historic. >> reporter: friday, a jury in san francisco found monsanto liable for groundskeeper dwayne johnson's cancer. johnson says constant use of

roundup led to a diagnosis of terminal non-hodgkin's lymphoma. doctors have given him months to live. the jury awarded $289 million. >> you may as well not die in vain, let's put this out here what happened to me. >> reporter: it is the first of hundreds against monsanto saying they failed to notify the public. they classified an active ingredient as possibly carcinogenic to humans. >> a unanimous jury has told monsanto enough. you did something wrong, now you have to pay. >> reporter: attorneys for monsanto insist the product is safe and plan to appeal. >> the verdict today does not change the science. >> reporter: for thousands of plaintiffs, many suffering from cancer, it is a beacon of hope. >> that's global, way bigger

than me. i hope that light will be shined. >> reporter: steve patterson, nbc news. let us get a first check of the weather. dylan dreyer standing by for that. >> it is going to be rainy across the northeast. we have some flash flood watches and warnings in effect. 39 million at risk for flooding potential today. and it is all because of this system that we have here. you see heavy rain moving through new york city, and this is going to just be a lingering type of rain as we go through the day across new england, back through new york, new jersey, back through pennsylvania, down through parts of the mid-atlantic, down through maryland and into d.c. area. we will see rounds of heavy rain with thunderstorms that will develop. we're not looking at much severe weather, but we could see a widespread one to three inches. if you get stuck in heavier downpours, those could produce rainfall rates 1 to 2 inches per

nobody's ever prepared for that. >> reporter: a shocking eight million dogs are hit with heart disease every year. many like misty are born with it. others develop it later in life just like humanhumans. >> humans tend to get heart disease in their 60s and 70s. dogs live 15, 20 years. they still get heart disease even in the younger ages? >> they do. dogs get degenerative diseases of the heart valves. they get heart muscle diseases. >> reporter: for the first time, veterinarians are using cutting edge technology to save the lives of their four-legged friends. >> these procedures are done exactly as they are in a human. just the anatomy's a little different. >> reporter: an understatement, especially compared to the human patients i'm used to treating. here a 9-month-old miniature dachshund named leah is getting her heart repaired -- about the size of a golf ball. colorado state university is the only place in the world that can do this.

that's because they have specialized high-tech imaging that allows vets to perform a minimally invasive surgery. it's exactly like cardiac cath labs i've seen at some of the country's top hospitals for humans. >> we're able to give them treatment that either cures or dramatically improves their heart condition. >> reporter: misty is one of their success stories. after she collapsed, she was rushed to csu and underwent surgery to repair a hole in her heart. her recovery almost instantaneous. >> she was jumping on us. it was wonderful. >> reporter: now misty isn't just good as new, she's better than ever. did you get your misty back, or did you get the misty that was meant to be? >> it's a new, improved misty. >> definitely the misty as she should have always been. >> reporter: when keeping man's best friend healthy is good for everyone's heart. >> dr. torres is here with us on this saturday morning. so this cutting edge technology, available at colorado state now, is this something that we'll

start seeing around the country? something that perhaps we'll even see in our local vet's office? >> that's what these vets are hoping because a lot of places around the country have basic cath labs and can do basic things. these guys can do advanced things with the technology they have. they're proving it works and hope it spreads throughout the country because it's saving dogs' lives. >> how can you tell if your dog may have a heart issue? >> the symptoms are subtle. if you see them slowing down, getting more fatigued, if they start panting a lot, coughing, lose appetite or weight, that's a big sign. for cats, as well. cats will throw up instead of cough. same symptoms. >> is this something, a procedure that can work in cats, as well? >> it can. they have done it on cats it works in cats, the same as it does on dogs. >> here's my question -- is there a chance that we could learn from the procedure and what we're doing on animals and transfer the knowledge to humans? >> that's the goal. it's a two-way street. humans to dogs now. they can do things on dogs that they can't necessarily do on humans. if it works there, they can see

if it starts working on humans, well. they're hoping it's a two-way street so we can help each other out. >> you heard from the doctor that performed the procedure? >> the doctor did the procedure on leah, she's doing fantastic. heart's working fine. he expects her to have a full life. >> such a great story. thank you for coming in on this saturday. still ahead, online dating. are you swiping right on people who are way out of your league maybe? if so, you may have some science to back you up ahead. first, this is "today" on nbc.
