show you a traffic flow as far as the green sensors all over. half moon bay just where the folks survived that crash. we'll talk about that and show you the video coming up. it's spectacular, as far as the view you get. over here not a big deal, south 101 but only the hillsdale on-ramp. once they hear it's the on-ramp the freeway maintains a smooth, easy drive and all lanes for highway 101 are open through the area. toward the east bay wit at mild slowing southbound on 880, right around 980, looks like that construction crew is just about clear. there may be one more traffic break over the next half hour but so far, traffic flows smoothly toward the bay bridge and the tri-valley no delays, just a little bit of slowing, you tap the brakes in one patch of highway 84. back to you been. >> thank you, mike. back to the top story and the crash landing in the cold waters off of half moon bay. people in another plane were shooting video and both people in the plane that crashed survived. >> miraculously.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us with details on why that plane went down in the first place and what the pilot was saying as the plane crashed. it's dramatic video. >> you ask yourself how to you survive that crashing into the cold pacific waters? it's hard to believe the two people did survive and it is thanks in part to the friends who shot this video as it was happening off the coast of half moon bay. two planes were midair for a photo shoot when one plane lost power and while the pilot of that plane, david lesch, called in a may day, the other pilot kept rolling and circling the crash site and calling for help, not knowing at that point whether lesch and his passenger were okay. it turns out they were okay. this is them documenting what was happening on a waterproof phone to the relief of the pilot who watched that plane go wn. >> we're floating around now in the [ muted ] pacific ocean. i'm holding onto my window shade as a floatation device.

>> i'm on the seat cushion. >> we have a seat cushion here. water is a little cold. >> your heart sinks when you hear may day, i have no power. it's something you never want to hear and it takes a second to kick in. >> reporter: and he calls you ten minutes on the phone later. >> hearing that was such a relier reli relief. i've never been so relieved to hear him on the phone. >> they were getting stung by jellyfish for about 30 minutes while their friend circled overhead and the coast guard made their way over for a rescue. lesch the pilot that crashed said without the coast guard rescue they would have died because they were eight to ten miles off the coast out there. what's less certain is why that plane went down, but all photo shoot. it was just a routine day. >> which is why they were able to capture so much. >> but that poor gal, the passenger, i would be nervous. >> exactly. i think they're probably so shocked by what just happened to them. >> he's only had the plane three or four months. >> not long. he trained on it but hasn't had

it tt long and getting promotional video for it. now it's down in the water. >> thank you very much. 5:02 right now. our other top story of the morning president trump's controversial comments.

voting democratic. >> reporter: outrage over what president trump said about jews who support democrats. >> i think any jewish people that vote for a democrat, i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. >> reporter: he was commenting on two democrats critical of israel. the pro-israel group j street called it dangerous and shameful. the head of the anti-defamation league urging mr. trump to stop using jews as a political football. the jewish democratic council of america accuses him of continuing to weaponize and politicize anti-semitism, this as the president appears to back off support for gun background checks after meeting with the nra. >> we have to be very careful about that. you know, they call it the slippery slope and all of a sudden everything gets taken away. >> i'm not willing to declare that he has walked away from that commitment again, until i hear it directly from him. >> reporter: democrats fear

pressure on the senate to enact gun law also go nowhere without president trump's support. also, president trump confirming now that he is thinking about payroll tax cuts, something just a day ago the white house said that wasn't even on the table. laura? >> payroll tax cuts possibly, we'll see. we'll keep following. thank you, tracie. the white house is refusing to provide flu shots for migrant families held in american detention centers at the borders, that's the word from customs and border protection spokesperson. the agency says this is due to short termina nature of detaini migrants. experts believe influenza played a role in deaths at the centers. it appears more potential delays may be on the horizon.

free to go. a day after the white house said talk of a payroll tax cut was not true, president trump said he's interested in a payroll tax cut though he says it's not because the economy is in trouble. >> payroll taxes, i've been think being payroll taxes for a long time. whether or not we do it now or not is, it's not being done because of recession, because we are legitimately, if we had a cut in interest rates by the fed, if they would do their job properly, and if they would do a meaningful cut, because they raised too fast, you coup woo see growth like you've not seen ever in this country. >> president trump walking a very narrow path. he wants more tax cuts, he wants an interest rate cut to boost the economy but he says the economy is doing fine. we get the fed minutes describing the most recent rate cut later today. palo alto's mysterious company palantir has gotten a

backed down on universal background checks for guns and jews are disloyal if they don't vote republican. specifically "jews who vote for democrats" and a good portion do of course are uninfrormed or disloyal. >> i think any jewish people that vote for a democrat, i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty, all right? >> that statement was condemned by all kinds of groups, jewish and gentile. accusing jewish people of being disloyal to the country they live in is a old and cruel trope. about an hour ago he tweeted a "loving him like the second coming of god." president trump tweeted we would delay a trip to denmark prescheduled because denmark wouldn't sell him greenland. it would appear but we're not

certain that president trump backed away from universal background checks following mass shootings in gilroy, el paso and dayton. after a long phone call with the nra, president trump called universal background checks "a slippery slope." but here he is just a few days ago saying he was in favor of them. >> i am convinced he wants to do something. i've spoke on it mitch mcconnell. he's a good man, he wants to do something and very strongly he wants to do background checks and i do, too. >> very strongly want to do background checks, so that was tuesday, august 13th. that was very strongly wanted background checks. we are on august 21st, so this is one day, one week later. president trump says russia should be readmitted to the g7. he says president obama kicked out russia because putin "outsmarted him." russia was actually kicked out because it invaded crimea. cnn says france agrees with the return to russia. any russian return would be next

"paw patrol" or something. as you get ready to head out the door we'll enjoy another beautiful day, and here is a live look at the clear view of the golden gate bridge, no fog here right now, and i think it will start to roll in here within the next couple of hours and quickly roll back out, so we won't see the fog for very long and we have more kids heading out for school this morning, as you get started in evergreen. we have temperatures headed to school in the lower 60s. our typical start to the day, and then as we go into the rest of the day, it will be slightly warmer for this afternoon, with south bay temperatures reaching 86 degrees downtown, 92 in morgan hill. 93 today in antioch, and clearlake reaching 90 degrees. santa rosa 92, and san francisco up to 73 degrees. as we start out with clear skies this morning, we do also have some cool temperatures, though. grab a jacket and put it over your dress or whatever you'll be wearing today, and then make sure you have the layers because
