welcome to tuesday. [ audio problems ] pam cook. let's get a look at the weather. is it going to be warmer today, steve? >> yes, pamela, it is. inland temperatures will come up. we'll go about five maybe seven degrees warmer today. reason being lows are much warmer today. a lot of 50s to near 60 degrees. wouldn't take much to warm up once the fog burns off. then see 60s, 70s coast and bay side. but inland mid-80s to upper 80s. now here's sal. on the east shore freeway traffic does move well on 80 westbound as you drive out to the maze with no problems on the lanes there. also if you're driving on the grade 680 to pleasanton it's off to a good start. back to the desk. thank you, sal. topping our news this morning a packed flight was over open ocean when one of its i engines exploded overnight. we are live with more information on what exploded. >> reporter: good morning. you can imagine you're on a

very long flight bound for australia when something goes horribly wrong. the passengers at the time didn't know exactly what but they felt a shake, heard a loud noise, some looked out the window and saw flames shooting out of one of the engines. this is what happened to 231 passengers aboard flight 74 headed for sydney last night. we just received new photographs of the damage done to engine number one. you can see the huge gash there. apparently the engine blew out, the plane took off about 11:00 and then 20 minutes later passengers felt that shake and new something was not right. now the captain announced that one of the engines was out so he turned the plane around and made his way back to san francisco. we spoke to one passenger who says it is a flight he will never forget. >> the captain thankfully made a very good landing. all cheered and everybody was a lot happier at the end, very relieved to be on the ground.

>> reporter: the emergency landing happened around 12:45 this morning. passengers say the crew did not panic. they remained calm. the plane landed safely and now those displaced passengers are staying at nearby hotels until the airline can arrange for their return to sydney. faa investigators will probably not arrive for another two hours or so. they will obviously try to figure out exactly what happened to that engine. now we did speak to a mechanic here at sfo. he told me that it was most likely the propeller that snapped. when you get metal on metal it can create spark which is therefore can lead to a fire. he says that a flight as large as this one, a 747, can actually fly on two to three engines. however since the plane had just left he says since the safety precaution the pilot obviously turned around and headed back home. ktvu channel 2 news. the f.a.a. is investigatorring another overnight air emergency. this one in los angeles.

happen. >> i don't think winning the war is going to look like it has in previous decades. no vendser ceremony on a battleship out at sea. but there's no question that today marks a significant transition in our relationship with iraq. >> reporter: now meanwhile vice president joe biden is meeting with iraqi leaders in baghdad and presiding over a formal change of command ceremony. in just the last few hours he indicated that some of the reports of increased violence there have been exaggerated and that iraq is much safer now. now president obama is going to call the man who started the war, former president george w. bush before his speech tonight. this morning press secretary bob gibs has been brushing off questions about whether president obama is going to give former president bush any credit for the surge in 2007. reporting live from washington d.c., ktvu channel 2 news. well, some critics say 50,000 american troops remaining in iraq are still

just one example of why instructions to the jury have had to change as social networking media grows. >> courts frequently will admonish jurors at the beginning of a trial that there is to be no texting, no facebooking and no tweeting about a trial while it's going on. it's become one of the standard admonitions. >> reporter: in admonitions. >> in the past it's been tough to prove a juror talked about a case outside the jury deliberation room. but if they mentioned it online that juror obviously leaves a trail of evidence. authorities in california central valley are investigating a horrific case of domestic violence tied to facebook. they say a an ford man tortured and imprisoned his girlfriend for four days. the reported attack took place inside the home while their children were there inside. investigators say 36-year-old anthony flew into a violent rage after reading a message his girlfriend had sent on

scary moments about half an hour after take off. the plane had departed for sydney around 11:00 and then just as everyone was getting settled the captain announced that one of the engines had blown out. you can see a large gash in the engine there. passengers on one-half of the plane had full view of it when the pilot decided to turn the plane around and head back to san francisco. >> the people on the right hand side of the plane seemed very shocked and apparently there were some flames coming out of that part of the plane. >> started to shake a little bit. just an uncomfortable vibration and a bit of a sudden and push and feel something was wrong. >> reporter: the emergency landing happened around 12:45 this morning. passengers say the crew did not panic. they remained calm and no one was injured. now those displaced passengers are staying at nearby hotels until the airline can arrange

for their return to sydney. investigators as we mentioned will most likely arrive in about an hour and a half. they will try to determine exactly what went wrong. we did have the chance to speak to a mechanic here at sfo sort of off the record. he told us that most likely it was the propeller inside that engine that simply snapped. there's a lot of wear and tear obviously on airplanes. he says this was an older model at least ten years old. so when that metal snapped and metal against metal created sparks and therefore can lead to a fire. now this plane had four engines. he tells me that 747 can actually fly on two to three engines, but as a safety precaution this pilot because he was so close to take off he said i'm going to turn around and head back. live at sfo. ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. and another overnight emergency in the air. this one in los angeles.

sighting apparently not enough to catch a wave this morning. surfers we talk today say they know sharks are out there, believe they're out there all the time. although they admit it's rare to see one attacking the sea lion or caught on tape there is video of the shark in the aftermath of a sea lion attack. the video shows a fin coming out of the churning water. witnesses say it rose out of the water during that attack. some surfer went in the water to warn others to get out of the water right after this happened. but within a couple hours surfers were back in this morning. the people i talked to said they hadn't heard about the sighting but that wasn't stopping them from getting early morning surfing in. >> sharks don't always attack because they're hungry for their natural meals. they're not 200 yards out all the time. >> reporter: you're going out any way. >> going out any way.
