the hostage situation and how they got the suspect out of the building. and dealing with a little cloud cover and fog out there this morning, but we'll warm up nicely and see sunshine, but a chance of showers in your forecast. i'll tell you more about that in just a bit. it is 7:00 a.m. on saturday morning, september 10. thanks for joining us today. i'm anne mackovic. tomorrow, of course, marks the 10th anniversary of the worst terror attack on american soil. security officials are on high alert this weekend, over a possible new threat to americans, from the golden gate bridge to international airports, security has been beefed up. drew levenson joins us live from ground zero in new york with more on the possible targets. good morning, drew. >> reporter: good morning, to you. you're right. security is much tighter here today than it has been for quite a while and for any of these anniversaries. in fact, it's because authorities believe they have a

credible threat. police are searching cars entering lower manhattan, part of the massive security response in new york and washington, dc to a new terror threat. al-qaeda might be plotting to blow up bridges and tunnels to mark the 10th anniversary of the september 11 attacks. >> yes, it is in the back of your mind as you're walking through the city. >> reporter: counterterrorism authorities are working to confirm whether the threat is real. they are looking for three al-qaeda operate i was who may be in the u.s. government officials believe two of the men could be u.s. citizens or have u.s. traveling documents. 35,000 nypd officers are working 12-hour shifts. they are checking bags and subways, dogs sniffing for explosives, and an unmanned submarine is even patrolling new york harbor. >> we are prepared to be on alert. >> reporter: here at ground zero, the official memorial opens this weekend. family members of those who died

will have the first opportunity to visit the site. it's highlighted by a pair of one-acre reflecting pools in the exact footprints of the twin towers. and even with this latest threat, most people visiting ground zero say they are determined to be stronger and smarter than the terrorists. >> you got to get up and government we're new yorkers. there's something always going on. >> reporter: and that's the same message from elected officials, who urge all americans to be vigilant, but not intimidated. and just about everywhere you look down here at ground zero, you see a strong police presence. that's the same throughout most of manhattan. ann? >> drew, we just completed a poll here and got the results, an exclusive survey that said 64% of respondents here in our area think that another large scale attack within the next five years is either somewhat or very likely. what is the feeling there on the

east coast about a possible attack from the people that may be visiting ground zero? >> reporter: i would say it mirrors that. basically, you talk to people down here and the majority think that there is either a good chance or a very good chance that there could be some other type of strike. when that would happen, how that would happen, nobody's quite sure. >> very uneasy feeling. drew levenson at ground zero in new york, thank you. back at home, an armed standoff that went on for about six hours in the east bay came to an end this morning. >> need you to slowly walk to the front of the store with your hands up and you will not be harmed. >> police used tear gas to subdue a man who had barricaded himself inside an office depot store in emeryville by the oakland border. the man had been holding four people hostage inside the store. he did release them unharmed, but he stayed inside for hours until a s.w.a.t. team went in to find him at around 4:00 this morning. they say he was hiding in a

crawl space above the store manager's office. the tear gas knocked him out and there are no reports of any other injuries. the oakland tribune reports this morning that the man was wearing a mask from the movie "v for vendetta." police have not released his name yet. thunderstorms are passing through. we check in with kristi on that. a spectacular light show last night. >> certainly in the east bay specifically, east bay hills, saw some thunderstorms. actually started a few small fires. and today, we do have to still beware re of those thunderstorms. however, we'll still see moisture in the forecast later this afternoon. because of that, that threat will dissipate. this morning, advisory still in effect until 11:00 for those people in the bay hills. overnight, dry conditions and the lightning, the combination, sparked five fires overnight in the east bay. it started around 8:00 last

night on oliveson ridge, just one and a half miles from the entrance of mount diablo park. within minutes, the fire grew from 40 to 60 acres. crews had a difficult time fighting the fire because there were no paved roads in the area. all of the fires have been contained. we'll hear a little more from kristi, coming up in a few minutes about more lightning danger here in the bay area. meantime, an emotional ceremony to remember the event that changed a san bruno community forever one year ago yesterday. >> [ bell ringing ] >> the names of the victims being read there. one year ago, the pg&e pipeline blew up, destroying a neighborhood and killing eight

people. the neighborhood organizers and city leaders say they wanted to focus the program on the people and try to unite their community. overnight, republicans and the state senate blocked governor brown's plan to promote job creation through tax reform. the governor wants to close a loophole that benefits out-of-state corporations. he wants to use that tax break money for hiring and buying new equipment instead. but republicans object, that brown tried to get this bill through on the last day of the legislative session. they instead want to call a special session specifically on the state's economy. back to that lightning, boy, we saw quite a show last night. lot of tweets going around, people saying they had never seen it before in this area. >> certainly startled a few people, and rightfully so. we were seeing drying storms at that point, so you see a fire danger when you have thunderstorms in those types of conditions, but we are going to see a little more moisture in the forecast later on through the afternoon and we may see scattered showers through the afternoon as well. i'll give you more details on

that, when we come back. also coming up, the different ways people are marking the september 11th anniversary, and how parents can help their young ones deal with these traumatic images that we're seeing lately from that day. a bay area mother pays tribute to her son, who was killed in the september 11 attacks. i'm allen martin. 10 years after, a closer look to her call to service for those who want to honor the victims. that's coming up. ,,,,,,

inland locations, but we are going to also see a slight chance of showers. i'll tell you a little more about that in just a bit. as you're making your way out the door this morning, seeing the fog and cloud cover at the coastline, the bay, mostly cloudy conditions, inland locations seeing a partly cloudy start. temperatures mild to start your morning, 50s and 60s for the most part. by this afternoon, temperatures warm up nicely. coastline's going to see readings in the 60s, mostly sunny inside the bay, almost breaking into the 70s as an average. average temperatures in the inland spots, in the 80s, even low 90s as well. plenty of sunshine, but with all the sunshine, we're also seeing some showers out there. last night in the east bay, you saw the thunderstorms. may see some sprinkles this morning. looking at satellite, all of that green on the screen showing moisture concentrated to the eaves us right now. there is an advisory in effect until 11:00 this morning for the north bay mountains. we're seeing low humidity and seeing a chance of thunderstorms. but the good news is, we'll start to see more moisture in

bingham, on flight 93, the flight that crashed in pennsylvania. 10 years after she left the voicemail messages, the tragedy of the event has turned her into a staunch supporter of america. >> we still face the spector of terrorism, we still have people within our borders who need to do us harm and will at the first opportunity. >> reporter: alice's son mark died fighting the terrorists, who is widely believed were going to crash flight 93 into either the white house or the capital building in washington, d.c. >> there wasn't much good news that came out of september 11, but america has seen the story of a little handful of guys in the back of a pitching and nearly empty doomed 757. how they were able to call their loved ones, say good-bye, gather information, and gather weapons around hem, implement things they were going to do. >> reporter: inspired by what she calls her son's ultimate act of volunteerism, alice and other families who lost loved ones on

9/11 are calling on people at this 10-year mark to step up in honor of those courageous passengers on flight 93. >> i'm so glad that my good deed and hands-obey area have teamed up to promote 9/11 as a day of service and remembrance. it's a wonderful opportunity for all of america to go and learn how they can dedicate themselves on september 11, in remembrance of those people who gave their all, on the original september 11. >> reporter: on sunday, alice hoagland plans to join other families of victims of flight 93 at the crash site in shanksville, pennsylvania. >> mark bingham has been dead nearly 10 years now, and i live his life and death every day of my life. it doesn't seem like nearly a decade to me. i remember his voice, mom, this is mark bingham, i just want to tell you that i love you. that was his last message to us. i want to live my life the way mark bingham would want me to live my life. >> reporter: go to 9/11day.org. we've put a link on our website. and if you have a story for us,

go to cbssf.com, andy send an e-mail to closer look. all of those images from the attacks bring up painful memories for americans. tomorrow's memorial may -- this is enough to bring tears to all of us, jim steyer. we were watching songs on the early show right before our broadcast and i was getting teared up. as a kid, how do you process something like that? >> it's tough. actually, i think it depends on the age of the child. there's no question that these images have a very, very significant impact on children. you know, it's one of the things when you think about media, news is very different than watching entertainment. and so kids really take this seriously, and there's no questions that as the anniversary approaches, that kids really, really need to be aware, and parents need to be aware of how devastating the feelings can still be. >> i think we have a couple different factors, too. when we look at these images,

it's a lot of profound sadness. >> that's right. >> there's also the fear factor when we talk about other terror threats. >> those are the two big things. kids under the age of 7, for example, they can be scared by bambi, could be scared by-- >> bambi makes me cry! >> they could be scared by simple movies that you and i think are sweet g-rated movies. you have to remember that under the age of 7, for the most part, these images are too shocking. they think something might happen to them or to you. so they think not just about themselves, but their parents. as kids get older-- >> you're thinking at that point, for the younger kids-- >> keep it away from them. i don't think those images are very helpful. and you can't have the kind of conversation with them that you can have, let's say, with an 8 to 10-year-old or certainly a teenager. as kids get older, i still think you need to limit the amount of exposure. i remember when 9/11 happened, we were talking about how much you wanted to at least limit the

constant repetition. as kids get older, they know it's real, so they need to voice their feelings and opinions, but talk with them about it. so much of it is good communication with your children. as teens get older, same thing. they are going to talk about it, be more sophisticated about knowing about, say, potential acts of terrorism. i think you have to put it in context, too. this is a really sad and tragic anniversary, but it's also an isolated incident. we have to remember that. i mean, this country went on somewhat of a paranoid fear period there 10 years ago, and i think-- >> for good reason. >> for good reason, but for many kids, that was a very scary them and then it took them a while to calm down. in dealing with it 10 years later, as we honor the tragedy and all the lives that were lost and the impact on the country, you want to keep it in perspective with kids, and help them talk it through. also, i would say point to all the good things that have been done since then and the fact that this is a, an element of a world that has many other elements to it.

so i think it's really a good chance, when media gives you a teachable moment. but again, news is different than entertainment media. in this case, you have a tragic event that everybody recognized. it's a good time to talk. >> what about trying to turn it into a positive, say, getting your kids into volunteering, like the mom we just heard from? >> i think that's a great idea actually. any time something happens in life, particularly like this, you've got to talk about how do you take, how do you make lemonade out of lemons, and i think now is the time to say this is something you can do in your own life. this is something you can do, take tragic situations and turn them into good. i actually think that's a very good note for us to end on, because i do think you can turn this into a positive, whether adult or children. >> jim steyer, thanks for that. coming up in sports, the latest standing in the u.s. open falls. and raider nation gets pumped for the season opener. sports is coming up next.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

it's part of the cutting edge

approach to education at east san jose's newest school. with the classroom of imagine every school providing every student an ipad. that is happening in san jose. the president of the alan rock union school district is here. thanks for coming in this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> the first question a lot of people have, how do you pay for this? school districts are struggling right now. >> well, you know, we are very fortunate that our community really supports education and our parents in '08 went out to the polls and gave us our bond that we were able to accomplish this great community accomplishment that we have together. >> so the $450 million grant is from the feds? >> correct. >> that is a lot of money. why did you decide to put all of that toward technology? >> we did it toward technology in our schools because our children deserve the best education that they can receive

and giving them the best cutting edge in technology is where i feel we'll be most successful for our children in our district. >> taking a look at videos from the school. it's pretty amazing. the old chalkboard is long gone. teachers interact on their screen, and then students interacting with their ipads. how is that improving education? >> well, i know it will improve our education, because our children -- this is their time. this is their ipad. you and i learned out of books. they are learning out of the ipads, out of the technology that's here available for them. and it's just really engaging them. we no longer see the teacher standing in front of the blackboard or the chalkboard and, you know, and give our lessons that way. we are now having the children receive their lessons through the ipads and the ipods. >> so you think the children will be less likely to throw paper airplanes at the teacher? >> oh, they don't have time for

that! they are so engaged with the ipads. >> this transformation to the campus and the technology is going on at san antonio elementary school in one of the valley's poorest neighborhoods. why did you choose that school? >> well, basically the foundation was already there for us to move forward on this. some years back, we had started this, and then of course the budget for the state froze everything and we were not getting matching funds. and so it just stayed on hold. then when we received word that we had an opportunity and we were up in the first, up on the list for funding, we ran with it. we ran with it and we had the community support and it's what we've been doing. >> i know a lot of other parents, students at some of the other schools in the district are notably jealous, for good reason. why did we put all of this into one school, rather than spreading the wealth around the district? >> well, this is only the beginning. only the beginning. i have confidence that our community will support us,

again, and will help us replicate this throughout our district. right now, this is the first we're doing. and yes, every child in fourth and fifth grade there in san antonio will have their ipad. but it will be duplicated, and the whole, the whole message here is that we want to have a consistent level of excellence for our students, you know, and for their successes. and we want to engage them and want them to stay in public education. >> well, it sure is nice to have a positive educational story with all these budget cut stories that we've been talking about. congratulations on that. todelores, thanks for being with us. we'll be right back.
