laura jarett, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. welcome to "today," and thanks for joining us on this very busy saturday morning. >> yeah. hard to believe we're already beginning the month of february. we start with several developing stories, including an ininvestigatn into philadelphia where a plane carrying a young pediatric patient, her mom and the medical team crashed sending a fireball into the sky. the moments caught on one family's ring camera. watch as they were terrified by the scene. we're going to have more from philadelphia this morning straight ahead. but we do begin this morning with the breaking news out of the middle east. three more hostages released a few hours ago, including american israeli keith segal.

keir simmons is in tel aviv with the very latest starting us off this morning. good morning. >> reporter: laura, peter, good morning to you. we can breathe again is the way this family just described it in a statement. we watched here in hostage square as keith walked to freedom here in israel. you can see him in the video waiving. and then we want to show you video of his wife reacting to these pictures. he was released back in november 2023. they haven't seen each other for more than a year, and this is how she responded to seeing him walk out. he told her when she was released, i will be with you in a few days. it's now been more than 480 days. more video of reuniteing.

he was split from them in november of 2023. they were in captivity. they were released. there they are back again. and with his dad and sister, his wife and two children, including his little boy who was just nine months old when they were taken. still missing. really bittersweet moments here in israel. 184 palestinian prisoners have been released in exchange. and there are two americans, guys, still missing. both of themem yet to be releas. these are fragile moments. the family is hoping the cease-fire still holding, guys. >> fragile indeed. but for now those families and those reunions, you can see the emotion on their face. we want to turn now to that tragedy in philadelphia.

investigators trying to figure out what caused a medivax jet to crash shortly after takeoff. maya there with the latest. >> reporter: good morning peter and laura, yeah. we are here on the scene where around 6:30 yesterday a jet medical rescue ambulance crashed shortly after takeoff from the northeast philadelphia airport. there is a lot of smoke, a lot of fires from this crash. what we know according to the faa about who was on board, about six people, including, as you just mentioned, peter, that minor who was here from mexico receiving life-saving treatment in mexico along with their guardian. there were two flight crew and two medical staff. they were heading to missouri with plans to go back to mexico following this surgery. right now this is still an ongoing investigation. you can see several officials behind me.

we're still waiting to know what the impact on the ground was. as you can see several structures on fire, several vehicles. laura, peter? >> such a terrifying scene there. thank you. meantime, reporters are back on the scene today at washington's reagan national airport working to recover wreckage from wednesday night's midway crash between the american airlines jet and an army black hawk helicopter. they now have the black boxes and hope to learn new details today. aaron christ is there with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: laura, good morning. investigators believe they will be able to extract a ton of data from those recorders. at the same time, we expect to see cranes and other equipment on the scene here. there are still more than 20 victims on the water. the airport will keep two of its

three runways closed for possibly a week that will lead to canceled flights. but it will keep the search space clear for crews to continue their work. this morning, salvage ships preparing to expand their work on the potomac river in washington with barges en route to begin what officials called the main lifts. >> i believe for us to get the rest of the remains, we need to get the fuselage out of the water. >> reporter: 41 of the victims have now been recovered. investigators also say the black boxes from both aircraft are now at the ntsb lab after they were recovered from two distinct debris fields in the river. >> we have a high degree of confidence that we will be able to get a full download in the near future. >> reporter: new video which aired on cnn offers new video of

the crash as president trump again said the black hawk was flying too high. >> the black hawk was too high. it was over the 200 limit by double. shouldn't have been there. >> reporter: sources tell nbc news the helicopter may have been flying at 350 to 400 feet when it crashed into the plane, and the tower typically has one controller focussing on planes and a second on helicopters. but wednesday night only one person was seeing both at the time of the collision after a supervisor allowed one person to leave early. although, that is allowed by faa guidelines. on any given day some 100 helicopters flying near reagan national airport, many of them military airport. scores of reports of near misses and warnings in d.c. air space over the last two decades. the day before the crash another region jet received a cockpit warning of helicopter traffic. >>what is the reason for the go-rrnd. >> we had an ra with the helicopter below was.

>> reporter: meanwhile, the faa announcing on friday it is restricting traffic around the airport to all but emergency responders, clearing the air. >> our job is to come out with the probably cause. but more importantly, make recommendations so that this type of tragedy never occurs again. >> reporter: now, the ntsb confirmed the controller interviews are underway as they really ramp up their fact-finding work here. the ntsb gave a second briefing to more than 100 victim family members who are now in the area. >> aaron, thank you. we do want to bring in bc news information analyst. he is a former ntsb investigators. jeff, we appreciate your time. can i start with what we saw take place in philadelphia late last evening? as you watch the video, you see

the steep descent. just from the video, your initial thoughts on what investigators will be asking? >> good morning, peter. it appears to me the plane was underpowered. it was moving quickly. it wasn't aero dynamically stalled. it happened just after the plane climbed into a low cloud ceiling. so th opens up the possibly of pilot spatial orientation, not being able to see the orientation because of the clouds and not concentrating on the instruments. perhaps there was a mechanical malfunction that distracted the crew. we just don't know. but you can hear the engines and see the knife edge of the airplane as it quickly goes into the ground about 250 knots. so investigators will focus on the weher. they will look into the background of the pilot. and this airplane has a cockpit

voice recorder, not a data recorder, so perhaps that might provide some meaning if they could get information off of it. >> i know it's early, but is there anything you can tell by watching this? could it have been a weight issue? we know it was just taking off. it's leaving from philly. it has to make a stop in missouri before it goes to mexico. is there anything made of the balancing? >> in terms of the weight and balance, i doubt it. this is a medivac airplane. it's certainly full of fuel, as you can see by that fireball. it could have been a flight control malfunction. we just don't know yet. we know it came screaming out of the clouds in an uncontrolled manner. >> we hear so much abt the importance of getting the data from these flights.

with so much focus on that horrific crash in d.c., now they have the black boxes. they have this crucial information at their fingertips. what is top of mind thing they're looking for to get those? >> a couple things, laura. first of all, the combination flight recorder and voice recorder for the helicopter will be very critical because that will pinpoint the altitude that they were at just prior to the collision. you know, there is reports that it was above the 200 foot requirement. so the flight data recorder will pinpoint that. and thdata recorder perhaps will catch conversations of the crew discussing, is that the target? is that the crj. the helicopter black boxes will be critical. for the airliner black boxes it will be less critical because we know it was on a normal approach, but there could be a discussion about, hey, do you see that helicopter? and also the flight data

recorder could indicate a final maneuver that perhaps tried to avoid it. >> jeff, just a quick final one if i could. as we learned, there was only one controller in the control tower at the time. that's not optimal for faa, but it is allowable. how big is the issue? >> with regards to this particular accident, it is too early to tell. this notion of the one controller handling two positions, that's fairly common. and actually, you don't need coordination. if you have better situation awareness as a single controller. but, still, the congestion around d.c. is something that needs to be mitigated. i think the faa took a big step yesterday. >> there was an eerie calm yesterday as i arrived at the terminals. thank you for taking the time.

all right. we move now to another big developing story this morning. a number of senior fbi officials being forced out by the trump administration, along with some federal prosecutors who handled the january 6th cases. this is unheard of in modern times. >> reporter: that's right. and good morning, laura. there are sweeping removals happening at the department of justice and the fbi. sources are telling nbc news the trump administration foed out all six of the most senior executives, including the leader of the washington, d.c. field office, which was involved in the prosecutions of president trump. the doj has also fired as many as two dozen federal prosecutors who investigated the january 6th capitol rioters because of their

work on those investigations. a letter pointed out that president trump in an executive order called the prosecutions, quote, a grave national injustice. and yesterday president trump said he was not involved in the removals. but he did say the firing at the doj would be a, quote, good thing. trump said he would review the conduct of thousands of fbi agents into the capitol attack. that is sparking fear and panic. >> yeah. i don't think people appreciate how many fbi agents touch those investigations in some way, even if just tangentially. i want to ask you about the white house improving big tariffs today on mexico, canada and china. of course, it could impact prices that we pay on every day items. do we know anything more about the timing of when those tariffs would go into effect? >> reporter: that's a good question. today president trump said he would roll out 25% tariffs on

mexico and canada and a 10% tariff on china. he said that the moves would make the u.s., quote, very rich and very strong. trump has repeatedly said these foreign countries would pay the price. though, yesterday you said there could be temporary disruptions to costs here in the u.s. what does this mean if you are watching at home for people? experts say the costs of tariffs are almost always passed on to the consumer, so that's you and me. you will also likely be paying more for things like groceries, toys and winter coats. that's because companielike matel, columbia sportswear and black & decker indicated they would raise prices on consumers because of these tariffs. new measures would violate a trade agreement with mexico and canada during his first term. and already we're hearing pushback. justin trudeau is pushing damage. he posted online that canada will be ready with a, quote,

forceful and immediate response. >> thank you. first time to check in on the forecast. we check in with our friend angie for that. >> good morning, guys. we have temperatures running way warm this time of year. temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above normal. we have kansas city into the 50s to indianapolis in the high 50s. texas, 70s today. a bit of spring-like temperatures for most of the middle of the country and farther east here tomorrow. you can see charleston 59 degrees. mid-60s for paduca. we could see some record highs across parts of the southern plains. here comes this next clipper system. this 18. look at all of that moisture with the atmospheric river heading right towards the bay

thanks for joining us on this saturday, february 1st, i'm kira klapper nearly one month after the palisades and eaton fires ignited across los angeles. both are 100% contained. now the focus turns to the high demand for water. you may recall the extreme demand took down a large portion of la's water system during the palisades. fire hydrants ran dry, leaving fire crews helpless to douse the flames. now the water is flowing once again. governor gavin newsom tweeting that five out of the nine water systems impacted by the los angeles fires are back online with safe, clean drinking water. the governor

also said he's working closely with local water systems to get clean water back to l.a. communities as soon as possible. newsom is calling for an investigation into the water supply. and back here locally and happening today, the a's family will join fans in a final farewell for the legendary rickey henderson. henderson died in late december at the age of 65 due to complications from pneumonia. over his 25 year baseball career, he won two world series titles, an mvp award, and was a ten time all star. the celebration of life is at 1 p.m. at oakland arena. the event is open to the public, but we checked the oakland arena website and there are no tickets available. we're going to turn now to the forecast and cinthia pimentel with a quick look. jason. good morning carol. good morning everyone. we are under a microclimate weather alert as we prepare not only for the rain that we're alreadyeeing right now, but i see it turning heavier as we go on into our morning hours and early

>> that investigation underway in pennsylvania after an air ambulance crashed with six people onboard, causing a huge fireball explosion in the sky. we're on the ground in philly with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter and laura. yeah. we are here. it is an active investigation happening right now. we know we're still waiting to hear from officials about whether or not or how many people were actually injured here on the ground. as you mentioned, this was a jet rescue air medical ambulance that actually crashed shortly after takeoff around 6:30 p.m. yesterday. it was leaving from the northeast philadelphia airport. it was actually scheduled to stop in missouri before flying all the way to mexico. that's because onboard was a patient, a minor who was receiving medical care here in philadelphia, along with one of their guardians. we know there were also two flight crew members, two medical

staff on this flight according to the faa. video from this crash shows that there are a lot of flames. we know several structures on fire. several vehicles have been on fire. we are waiting for officials here to confirm or give us a bit more information as to how widespread the damage really was here on the ground yesterday. there is a shelter set up for folks who might need a place to stay or resources in the area. we also know that there are several dozen state troopers here sent by the governor to help support the community. peter and laura? >> yeah. a lot of fuel created that fireball, that explosion when it landed. we're waiting for more information over the course of this day. thank you. now to the latest on that other tragic collision between an army helicopter and an american airlines jet in washington this week. this morning, salvage ships are preparing to expand their work on the potomac river.

officials say the black boxes from both aircraft are now at the national transportation safety board lab. meanwhile new video which first aired oncnn offers a clear view of that mid-air collision. sources tell nbc news the helicopter may have been flying too high when it crashed into the plane. also this morning, hamas released three hostages held in gaza, including israeli-american keith siegel. he and two others were transferred to the red cross in northern gaza and escorted across the border into israel. siegel is expected to reunite with friends. he said his feelings are nearly indescribable. >> such joy, such sadness at what he's gone through anticipating his first hug with his children and with lee. >> siegel's wife was overjoyed

to watch his release. she was also a former hostage and was released in november of 2023. we want to turn now to president trump, fulfilling a campaign promise imposing major tariffs today on canada, mexico and china that economists warn will raise the price you pay on a number of items. >> christine romans is here to walk us through all of it. break this down and why it means higher prices and why the companies can't just absorb this. >> look, a lot of questions this morning. the president said the tariffs are coming today, but the companies have been lobbying for weeks to get exceptions and to mitigate this. here is what we're expecting. major tariffs at customs entry ports, 25%. that means the importer on the u.s. side of the border, there will be a, boom, 25% sticker that goes on that package.

and then the importer pays the 25%. what does that mean? that means those are likely to be passed on to the rest of us. we have seen this before in the first trump administration. we will show you the items that had tariffs. inflation rose -- that's the blue line. the red line are things that do not have tariffs on them. so we have seen this before. those higher prices tend to be passed on to consumers. >> americans want to know what this will look like at the grocery store. >> it will look like chaos at the border first and then higher prices at the grocery stores. 80% of american frozen french fries come from canada. avocados, beer, beef, so much crosses these borders. then there is the issue of the north american automotive industry. actually, president trump wrote the rules for how these parts pass over these borders and now

he wants to slap tariffs on the very deal that he put so there will be legal challenges. once estimate said the price of a new car could rise $3,000. he put tariffs on imported washing machine prices. that's how the consumer prices follow suit with tariffs. >> and there is no reason to think those countries wouldn't do so many return for us. >> yeah, we're worried about retaliation. he wants to bring u.s. jobs back. that's the goal. in the meantime, in the short term, it could mean higher prices for americans. >> he said it is a negotiating tool as well. we'll see how this plays out. joe, what do you have coming up in our boost? >> for years a man named noah has enjoyed watching his friend walk his furry friend every morning. >> recently noah learned that

84-year-old alex, his neighbor, is moving to another town to be closer to his kids. so he decided to give noah and his rescue dog a farewell gift. >> i got you something for your memory of your time here in parksville. >> oh, my gosh! >> that is a precious photo to remember his years in the neighborhood. how sweet is that? >> oh, a nice momentum for them. >> appreciate it. coming up next, in l.a. with a look ahead to tomorrow night's grammy awards. good morning. >> good morning, guys. it is going to be an exciting night filled with larger than life performances, surprise collaborations. and in the wake of those devastating wild fires, a (mom) let me see my new grand-dog!
