hope. now, the flight was operated by carrier, lion air, and they've said the plane was new. it had only been in use since august, and they don't know why it crashed. lion air's president did say this plane had experienced a technical problem on a previous flight, but he said it had been fully remedied. he didn't go into details on the kind of problem. the weather at the time was clear and the pilot had more than 6,000 flying hours. indonesian officials are now using ships and helicopters in the search and they're sending in divers to locate the plane's black box. this is the second major air disaster in less that be five years for indonesia. remember back in december of 2014, that airasia crash that killed 162 people. and indonesia's airlines do have a poor safety record, so bad, in fact, that over the years, several of their airlines have actually been banned from flying in both the u.s. and europe. but today, for the country, and especially for the families, it's looking lik very tragic

day indeed. frances, marlie? >> sarah, thank you. the pittsburgh jewish community continues to grieve this morning after 11 people were killed in a mass shooting at the tree of life synagogue during saturday services. authorities releasing their names on sunday, ranging in age from 54 to 97. mourners are holding vigils not just in pittsburgh, but across the country. the tree of life's rabbi saying he's received messages of support from all over the world. >> jewish, christian, muslim, all with the same message -- we are here for you. my cup overflows with love. that's how you defeat hate. >> authorities say the suspect, robert bowers, entered the synagogue and opened fire. he now faces multiple federal charges. nbc's dan schenamen has more. >> reporter: pittsburgh is
