neighborhood, creating that fiery explosion in philadelphia, all six people on board the medical jet bound for mexico are presumed dead. they include a child who was a pediatric patient, the child's mother, a pilot and copilot, a doctor and a paramedic, all six from mexico. as for victims on the ground, we don't yet have a definitive number. we know at least six people were taken to a hospital, three in fair condition and three already released. the crash and that explosion that followed were caught on several different cameras and are today in the bay's thom jensen continues our coverage. it looked like a nuclear explosion. video showing the moment an air ambulance fell from the sky and exploded in a busy philadelphia neighborhood at the height of rush hour. the learjet 55, a medical flight with six people on board,

crashed in an area with hundreds of homes and a popular shopping center nearby. out of nowhere, just everything just shook, i thought, like the buildings fell or something. i look outside and then all you see is a huge explosion. all i could see was about 8 or 10 cars on cottman avenue just burning and just popping with explosions. philadelphia's mayor and governor josh shapiro, asking residents to stay away from the neighborhood and let emergency crews do their work. several dwellings and vehicles were impacted. a number of homes and cars are still burning, and on behalf of 13 millio pennsylvanians, we are all here for northeast philly tonight in this very, very difficult moment. witnesses say they saw at least one victim in flames running from a burning car, something ntsb investigators may look at besides the learjet's flight recorder as they search for a cause is air traffic control logs and audio recordings. approach to runway two four. what's going on down

there? the pilot didn't appear to respond to controllers warnings just before the crash, and there seemed to be confusion about what went wrong. we have a lost aircraft. we're not exactly sure what happened, so we're trying to figure it out. for now. the field is going to be closed, so no, no inbound or outbound. the mayor says emergency response officials might not know the full extent of the damage or the impact on lives on the ground until this weekend. so right now we're just asking for prayers for any and everyone who may have been affected. thom jensen today in the bay. president trump, meanwhile, posted on social media about the crash, saying in part, quote, so sad to see the plane go down in philadelphia. more innocent souls lost. the president also gave credit to first responders for, quote, doing a great job. we are expecting to learn more about that crash this morning. as we mentioned, we are awaiting an update any minute now from

philadelphia. stay with us for the very latest on today in the bay and on nbcbayarea.com. our websbsite is updated 24/7. now o the trump administration set to impose new tariffs on goods from china and canada and mexico starting today. the president insisting they won't lead to more inflation here at home. nbc news's garrett haake reports the white house saying president trump is keeping a campaign promise by imposing tariffs on mexico, canada and china in response to migrants and fentanyl coming across the border. we'll possibly very substantially increase it or not. we'll see how it is. 25% duties on imports from canada and mexico and 10% from china. and the president hinting at tariffs to come on computer chips, steel and pharmaceuticals. we want to bring pharmaceuticals back to the country. and the way you bring it back to the country is by putting up a wall, and the wall is a tariff wall. but

mexico's president warning the tariffs could violate the trade agreement president trump negotiated in his first term. and critics say the extra tax paid by u.s. importers will be passed along to american consumers. this is going to be a way to spur inflation. it's just, you know, just because donald trump's the new president doesn't mean that all of the econ 101 books are going to get rewritten. nbc's kelly o'donnell pressing the president who pointed to his first term. what do you say to the voters who want to see you reduce everyday costs? i had almost no inflation, and yet i charged hundreds of billions of dollars of tariffs to countries. tariffs don't cause inflation. they cause success. it all comes as federal agencies scramble to comply with president trump's orders to end biden da policies. the office of personnel management ordering all, quote, gender ideology references be removed, including pronouns in email signatures, according to a memo obtained by nbc news. another memo we've obtained from

the defense intelligence agency ordering a pause on, quote, special observances, including for black history month in february and pride in june, and the cdc scrubbing some hiv related content from its website. that was nbc's garrett haake reporting for us. now to developing news into that investigation into how that american airlines flight and an army black hawk helicopter collided is now intensifying. we just learned the ntsb will hold a briefing on that crash at 3 p.m. our time. so we will continue to follow that. and there is new video we want to warn you. might be disturbing to watch. cnn originally obtained th video showing a different vantage point of wednesday night's crash. the american airlines flight from wichita, kansas, on the right of your screen, was preparing to land at reagan national airport. it was making a turn toward the runway when that army helicopter collides with it over the potomac river. all 67 people in

both aircraft were killed. investigators say the information found on the black boxes will be key. yesterday, divers recovered the chopper's data recorder that records both data and voice in the cockpit. the two black boxes were pulled from the wreckage of the american airlines plane the day before that on thursday. meantime, the faa has announced new restrictions for helicopters in that airspace around reagan national. multiple zones, including the area where the crash occurred, are closed to chopper traffic indefinitely. and now another looming question who was working in the control tower the night of that crash? the ntsb is looking into whether staffing may have played a role in the tragedy. was it an air traffic controller that was working at the time of the accident? yes. yes, sir. now, i'm not going to speculate. sorry. nope, sorry. i'm not going to speculate. the next question is, was there one. two, three? i don't have the answer

for that right now. i know that the controller that was working at the time has been interviewed, and his interviews are ongoing. air traffic control staffing has been a problem for the faa across the country for years. it's thousands of controllers short of its staffing goals. the president of the national air traffic controllers association says it is at its lowest in 30 years. it is almost 11 past the hour on your saturday morning. we have much more ahead on today in the bay. coming up. strike averted for thousands of cosco workers. the reason workers were ready to walk off the job

the teamsters union reached a tentative deal early this morning. the union represents more than 18,000 costco employees nationwide, including right here in california. it was nearly two weeks ago when those costco workers voted to strike. if a new three year contract wasn't reached. disagreements between the two sides were over wages and benefits. the teamsters posted on x around 230 this morning that the tentative agreement was reached, and soon will be presented to the membership for a vote. and i you're a walgreens customer in san francisco, after the company said it would close a dozen stores across the city, the pharmacy chain has decided to keep open the polk street store. walgreens has plans to shutter about 1200 stores nationwide. the company says it's struggled to cover costs associated with rent, staffing and supply needs, but has been looking carefully

at the financial performance of each store. and that's why the location on polk at california will not close. after all. trending this morning, a celebration of musical acts across 50 years of saturday night live. deebo maher velena to nomber to karate. i can buy myself flowers. write my name in the sand, run away. but we're running in circles. run away, run away. get ready for snl 50. the homecoming concert. it's happening. valentitine's day at radio city music hall in new york. these are just a few of the artists who have graced the snl stage, and will be a part of that star studded lineup bad bunny, miley cyrus, post malone, lady gaga, jelly roll, and david byrne from the talking heads.

might be putting a damper on your weekend plans, but we need it. we got our second look at the sierra snowpack and saw a big dip from earlier this season. state water officials held the survey at the phillips station near south lake tahoe and excessively dry. january has left snowpack levels at just 46% of average. statewide, the snowpack is 65% of average for this time of year. a live look at highway 50. at echo summit, you can see all that snow white out conditions in the background. this storm will dump feet of snow in the sierra. if you're headed that way, be sure to check those road conditions before you go. we do know chain controls are in effect on highway 50 as well as 80 this morning. so all eyes on cinthia pimentel with a look at our microclimate forecast. we are under a microclimate weather alert because of you said potential for flooding. yeah, we are under a flood watch. all of that rain is going to be coming in really heavy at times through

the morning. but let's get a sneak peek there into the sierra this weekend. a couple of inches, maybe a foot in the higher peaks up there in kingvale kirkwood. but let me give you a long range outlook because this weekend, yes, a couple of inches. but into next week, as the storm continues, we could be looking at feet of snow. so a couple of rounds of rain are going to be making their way into california over the next couple of days. so let's go on in with storm ranger, see where those rains are righght now.t has not stopped in the north bay. all of our counties, they are seeing some good amount of rainfall through parts of concord, down into san ramon, and even stretching out into byron. it is a little bit more patchy though, as we move fremont south into san jose and further down into the santa clara valley. but look at all of that moisture that is just pushing in with this atmospheric river. and here's where i think it will get pretty heavy as we go on into the mid morning hours and into lunchtime, we see those spots of yellow for the north bay, p pars of the east bay shoreline there

and into the tri-valley. and really the activity there will be built through the center part of the day, giving us a little bit of a break into the afternoon where you can finally go stretch your legs outdoors. but it's a morning to stay indoors and that scattered activity. i see it continuing on into our sunday morning plans where everybody, just about everybody, will get a break except those showers continuing for parts of the north bay. and there is more. that's why that flood watch will continue to be into effect and possiblbly stretched out into our next workweek. those atmospheric rivers just lining up, bringing us a lot of moisture stretching through the pacific, stretching into parts of hawaii. so here we go. our next system that could potentially be a little bit more dangerous is as we go on into monday and tuesday, there it is, filling in possibly heavy spots of rain through the santa cruz mountains and that snow that just continues through the sierra, where we're accumulating more of that fresh powder. we go on into wednesday, we see a little bit of a break, but the systems continue as we go on

into thursday and friday. we wanted rain. well, here it is as we went through the last couple of days, taking it into next week. now, as far as rain totals this weekend. looking good. 1 to 2 in the north bay, san francisco south about a quarter inch to half an inch. but there's where we start to pile up more of those totals. some of those legends going off of the charts there through the north bay, maybe five plus inches up, and then 2 to 3 for the rest of the bay area. so we're finally going to get a good use of our rain gear, our rain boots. we'll see the showers for today, tomorrow on and off, maybe a few peeks of sunshine depending on where you are, but they just continue on into next week with some chilly mornings there as the system drops there through wednesday. all right cynthia, thanks. 22 past the hour. we have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up. a bay area woman hoping to help one friend who lost her home in the palisades fire, suddenly found herself compelled to do a lot more. it will make you bay

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

helping the victims of the los angeles fires. but it's also everyday people. many of whom came from the bay area. garvin thomas shares one woman's story in this morning's bay area. proud. having been in the real estate business for more than 20 years, ginger faith knows how wonderful owning a home can be,

but she now also knows how devastating it can be to lose one. this is the altadena home of ginger's close friend, burning in the eaton fire. all you can do in that situation is say, what can i do? like i don't even know what to say. what can i do? hey. good morning. this is ginger. what ginger did was reach out to her livermore community asking for donations to help her friend. but so many wanted to help in so many goods poured in that ginger ended up with enough to help. many fire victims snowballed. yeah. it snowballed. she filled two u-hauls with supplies and drove them down to la. take a look at this. all of these people here are going to be helping us unload the experience. so moved. ginger. she wanted to do more, but wasn't sure how. so she turned to someone who did know how. because he's done it before. it's an indescribable feeling of joy to make a

difference. in 2018, eric lofton and his wife wanted to help the survivors of the camp fire in paradise. so they started a facebook group called paradise fire adopt a family, where people willing to donate were connected with those who had lost everything to know exactly what they needed. that was the concept. eric hoped to help a handful of families, and instead of helping ten families, the group went viral and it became the largest social media group around the campfire, and 34,000 people joined and thousands of people received help from that group. so now ginger, eric and others have started the la fires. adopt a family. it is, by comparison, small now, but eric says they have already made some matches and aid is already flowing. doing good not just for those receiving the help, but those giving it as well. you can connect them in a real and

tangible way. and so that's what's different about this is it's for the person who wants to feel like their lives are making a difference in a personal way, where you can see the strengthening of a family, you can see the rebuilding of a family. that was our garvin thomas reporting for us. another beautiful story. 27 past the hour on your saturday morning. we have much more ahead for you on today in the bay. coming up, cinthia pimentel shows us the timeline of this atmospheric river in the bay area. right no, you can see just dreary, foggy conditions in the city as we try to look towards the bay bridge. to look towards the bay bridge. and when you'll see a brea k ♪♪ ♪♪ dreams begin here. welcome to the goodnight club.

start applying taxes on a bunch of imported goods, there is a potential inflationary impact there. so far, no word on potential exemptions, but experts are saying this is expected to hike the price of a gallon of gas for some drivers by as much as $0.70 and send grocery bills climbing. the tariffs will be on everything from produce to pharmaceuticals, liquor, steel, energy and more. canadian prime minister justin trudeau said canada will respond immediately and forcefully if the u.s. goes ahead with a threat of imposing tariffs, warning canadians that they could be facing tough times. when to return. now to that developing news. the investigation continues into how that american airlines flight and that army blackhawk helicopter collided. we learned this morning that the ntsb will hold an update on the crash. that's at 3 p.m. our time, and we will follow that this

powering possibilities. comcast business. towards our walnut creek camera. the rain is back. those cold temperatures we see storm ranger right now scanning close to there in the east bay. walnut creek over to concord highway for highway 24 in berkeley. it has not stopped raining. all of our north bay counties covered in that rain right now, and that has pushed through parts of san francisco, down into daly city and around the airport. but look at how dry we still are as we go on through san mateo, down into the south bay, and even stretches here of the 880 east

bay shoreline. but more of that rain will start filling in as our atmospheric river is arriving into the morning hours and early afternoon. so the timeline is up here for you. i'll do my best to pause it at times that everybody wants, but we go on into the lunchtime hour. 1:00 we could be seeing some heavy spots just absolutely pouring there in the east bay. the north bay, with some lighter returns down into the southern peninsula and san jose. i'm looking at the second half of the day being a bit of a break here, except really for the north bay where that rain will continue to come as we go on into sunday a little e bit more scattered in that fashion. cloudy skies, gloomy feel to our second half of the weekend with some pop up showers here. much lighter though than what we should see this morning. we continue to barrel down there into the north bay with those rains for our sunday, and there is more coming now up into tahoe. really do not recommend going there at all. there is an avalanche warning for the backcountry and we look at those temperatures in the 40s. it could be a mix of some wet snow

to some very puffy snow at times, with more of that on the way measuring into feet as we go on into next week, with more storms and atmospheric rivers just lining up to monday on into tuesday could be a little bit dangerous where more of those totals start to ramp up, and it just keeps going until we get a brief break there on wednesday. so look at these totals that up for the weekend. we're concentrating for the north bay 1 to 2. everybody else with some trace amounts. but pushing this timeline forward on into next week. that's where those colors start to go off the charts up there in the north bay, where we could possibly see the russian river rising close to action. stage tuesday night. 28ft action stage is 29, so if that changes, i'll make sure to update you as the weekend and the week goes on. san francisco peninsula over the next couple of days. temperatures in the 50s. very active weather continues in our inland valleys all next week. pretty much good to have that. heads up, cynthia.

revoked the temporary protected status, or tps, for more than 600,000 venezuelans living in the u.s. today. in the bay's joselyn moran brings us the story of a venezuelan man and his family now living in limbo in the south bay. we are a happy in s jose, california. our

jobs, our schools is wonderful. and i we would like tcontinue in this country. this man asked us to not use his name, but agreed to tell us his story. he and his family are from venezuela but currently call san jose home. he's been taking english classes, getting better and better at speaking the language. he's also been working here for the last couple of years, building a life with his wife and young daughters. buscando pues una mejor calidad de vida para mi. but that could all change soon. temporary protected status is a federal program that allows people from certain countries to live and work in the u.s. when it's deemed unsafe for them to return to their home country. the biden administration gave venezuelans tps in 2021 and 2023, citing venezuela's political and economic crisis. before leaving office, president biden extended the protection for eligible venezuelans until october of 2026. but this week, president trump canceled that extension as he continues to carry out his

promise of mass deportations. see la decision de los estados unidos no continuamos aqui nosotros vamos a la decision y nos vamos a ir. the man we met says if the u.s. tells them to leave, they will respect that decision and go back to venezuela because they've always followed the rules. counseling or suspending these protections would leave people without a jo without their livelihood, and it would also put them in jeopardy of being returned to their home country before making a move. immigration attorney patricia castorena recommends people talk with a lawyer because they may have options. for example, if someone has been the victim of a crime, they could potentially qualify for the u visa. if an individual with tps has family members that are u.s. citizens or legal permanent residents, it is important to determine if there's any way they can legalize their status through their family member. as for this man living in san jose, his protected status ends in april. until then, he says he'll continue to work to provide for his family in san jose. jocelyn
