>> reporter: committee members say o'connor is wasting their time. >> your testimony here today is stretch at best. >> reporter: they want to see if anyone involved outside the irs was involved in the conservative groups. >> then all of a sudden, oh, my goodness, they lost two years worth of e-mails. listen. i grew up in a bar. this doesn't fast the straight faced test. >> reporter: the irs says it is turning over a total of 67,000 lerner e-mails. craig boswell, cbs news, capitol hill. 20 to 30 pilot errors in the last 14 miles of approach. the ntsb issued its report on the crash of asiana airlines flight 214 in san francisco last july. three people were kill and 187 injured, and as jiff pegues tells us, the federal agency blames the pilots. >> reporter: before the plane crashed at san francisco international airport, all three pilots in the cockpit missed important warnings. according to investigators
4:08 am
coming in for a landing, the plane was off target. it was traveling too low and air speed was too slow to make the runway. the pilots mistakenly believed the auto throttle which controls speed would keep the plane on track. the ntsb concluded the pilots had given too much control to the boeing 777's autopilot functions. >> as the approach proceeded, it seemed to be more compound. >> reporter: the belly struck the runway and the tail of the airplane broke off. investigators say the three people killed, one died after being struck by an emergency exit door that pushed in when the plane cart whealed down the runway. and the other two were not wearing seat belts and were ejected from the plane. >> the ultimate message of that is buckle your seat belt. when the cabin crew says buckle your seat belt, buckle your seat belt. that's the number one defense to protect you.
