hi, everyone. thanks for being with us. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, tuesday, september 19th, 2023. high anxiety. marine corps is grounding all of

its act after one of its fighter jets disappeared for hours. the growing concern over how it happened. home sweet home. five americans imprisoned in iran for years are finally back in the u.s., their emotional reunions with their family and why their release is still sparking some controversy. toxic threat. one of nation's largest water contamination cases, tens of thousands of people on a marine basicened over decades. higher risk. why type 2 diabetes poses a greater threat to the america's hispanic population. an important conversation during hispanic heritage month we'll begin this hour with the military mishap on u.s. soil that's having worldwide implication and the marine corps has announced a two-day pause for all aircraft to discuss safety, more than a thousand planes and helicopters across

the globe, after that lost fighter jet was finally found, missing for more than 24 hours on sunday a pilot of the f-35 ejected from the cockpit over south carolina. the pilot landed safely but the plane could not be found. >> last night a debris field was discovered in rural south carolina, where the jet parentally crashed according to military. it was found about two hours northeast from joint base charleston. someone who lived nearby says he think he heard it. >> i heard a plane coming across. i said that plane is mighty low. i heard a boom. >> courtney kubie has more details for us. now they found the debris any closer to finding out what happened? >> reporter: yes, i mean, i think as this investigation will kick into gear, now they have a debris field and identified this wreckage, but but there are still many more questions than answers. among them, what was this mishap

that caused the pilot to eject? the pilot safely ejected and taken to an local hospital. with no major injuries. what caused -- what the initial mishap that caused the pilot to eject? exactly where this aircraft go after the pilot ejected and it continued on autopilot? as you mentioned flying for some time and landing about two hours north of joint base charlton. another big question remains exactly why couldn't communicate with this aircraft or track it? after the pilot ejected and it continued to fly. questions leading to some local officials including the wongwoman nancy mace to ask questions about whether the u.s. military particularly the marine corps were transparent enough especially in the early hours when it wasn't clear if there could be a danger to the public in the area. here's what she told us in an interview. >> you'd think because of the trajectory they at least knew

until the pilot ejected with the fuel how much time on autopilot the jet would have. frustrated would be an understatement right now because our community deserves basic minimum answers. >> reporter: some air safety and aviation experts have said the same thing. the military should have a good sense of where this was. >> the f-35 program, one of the most expensive weapons systems ever developed. estimates are $1.7 trillion over the life of the program and we said each plane costs $100 million, so what is the marines doing to make sure these planes can operate safely? >> you mentioned the stand-down, they ordered a 48-hour standdown for all aircraft. that's to look at whether

there's any sort of link in several recent incidents. . the f-35 incident, certainly a mystery, there are month reports of any injuries or any deaths because of this aircraft crash. but, just last month there were two deadly crashes by u.s. marine corp aircraft, f-18 near san diego crashed killing the pilot. then off the coast of australia, three u.s. marines were killed when their osprey crashed. so all of this has led to the marine corps saying all aircraft have to stand down for two days. . the goal here is to see if there's any threat here why they've had a string of mishaps. >> courtney, thank you. five americans are back home today after being released in a prisoner swap with iran, they walked off their plane this morning in fort belvoir,

virginia. emotional reunions there. >> three, two, one -- freedom! >> gabe gutierrez joins us now. chief white house correspondent. congratulations. some new reporting about the trip home for these former prisoners. what have you learned? >> reporter: as you said this was a dramatic homecoming here at this army base, early this morning and you saw that video of those family members basically running to catch up with their loved ones who they hadn't seen in several years and this prisoner swap came after years of tense negotiations with iran and according to a source close to one of those relative families the source said that they had wine on the chartered plane ride home.

this was one of the best glasses of wine he had ever had because of these last few years of captivity, so difficult and so traumatic. now, we also heard from the brother of one of those prisoners as well on the tarmac right after the reunion. take a listen to what he had to say. >> the nightmare is finally over, i've dreamt about this moment. we haven't had this moment in over eight years. it really is unbelievable. >> reporter: kate, as you know, this swap has been controversial, republicans have argued that the $6 billion in unfrozen iranian money essentially amounts to ransom payment but the biden administration is pushing back hard on that saying taxpayer money wasn't used. that this money initially belonged to iran anyway wand

strict oversight on any transaction and what's next for these families? >> reporter: certainly, a very difficult long process ahead of them, certainly these last few years have been very traumatic and we understand that they're undergoing those typical mental and physical checks that you'd expect to see after such a long ordeal, but, kate, these family members right now are so happy to have them back here home on u.s. soil after so many years. kate. >> our newly named senior white house correspondent gabe gutierrez, thank you. the united auto workers union is threatening to expand its strike, day five of the historic strike with nearly 13,000 workers on the picket line, only small part of the whole union and we could see more members join in on friday. meanwhile a white house official tells reporters that white house officials in detroit aren't

traveling. they'll sit in meetings remotely. shaq brewster is in toledo, ohio. what does this update from the white house tell us about the current state of negotiations? >> reporter: it's really hard to dig in or pull out any real nuggets from that note that the white house officials are no longer coming to detroit and i say that because when you first heard they were coming. . uaw president shawn fain said, thanks, but this is our fight. by the way you heard him use that similar tone to former president trump. he'll be here at least in detroit doing a speech. but i think when you talk to the union workers still striking they'll take help from wherever they'll get. a hard fight they're in. listen to one of my conversations that i had with someone. they're not ready to leave or to give up any time soon.

>> i just think they have to be a little bit more easy on negotiations. i don't think my union is asking for anything unfair. i think the company needs to bend a little bit and make some sort of agreement, because we're just not -- we're not going to settle for anything less. >> reporter: now as far as the status of these negotiations, we're hearing they're moving slowly, you hear some people they're constructive, semi-productive, it's clear that's no deal, nothing imminent at this point, you is a lot of people watching and waiting to see what can ultimately be agreed to. >> you'll stay on this, shaq brewster, thank you. time now for today's money minute. another big change coming to x, formerly known as twitter. social media platform x formerly known as twitter is
