7:21 am

7:27 am

minute drive time into san francisco. that's better than it was. 580 is backed up to the maze. moving along to the san mateo bridge, westbound 92. that traffic is busy. it's about a 15-minute drive time across the bridge to foster city. if you look at map in the same general area, slow traffic getting to the san mateo bridge and slow traffic near the come bar on bridge on westbound 84 especially in newark. it gets better once you get on the span. if you are driving on highway 24, we had a crash at railroad and 608 is slow from 242 to highway 24 and then in the santa clara valley, 101 has filled in. most of it slow from the capitol expressway into mountain view. 7:33. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. happening now -- the ntsb safety board is discussing the results of its investigation into the deadly crash of asiana flight 214 at sfo last july.
7:34 am
alex savidge has been monitoring a meeting that's underway right now. he's live with what the -- with the new details about what the pilot investigators confirmed minutes ago. >> reporter: good morning. ntsb investigators say the flight crew in this case mismanaged their approach in many different ways causing that jetliner to crash short of the runway last year. let me show you a live picture inside the hearing room at ntsb headquarters in washington, d.c. where right now, members of the federal safety board are testifying about their findings. federal investigators said today the boeing 777 was flying lower and slower than it should have when it clipled the sea wall. investigators also said today the flight crew mistakenly believed the automated control systems would maintain a proper air speed as they came in. the report that is being released and discussed today suggests the flying pilot and the instructor pilot in the cockpit didn't follow standard operating procedures during the
7:35 am
approach to sfo. investigators say the flying pilot had quite a bit of experience but relied too much on automation. >> although he was an experienced pilot, lacked pilot skills. pilot skills degrade if not practiced. they would improve proficiency by providing more manual opportunities. >> that crash killed three teenagers, all passengers from china. a short time ago during this meeting, we heard testimony about the survivability of this crash and an investigator said two of the passengers who died were not wearing seat belts and were ejected and would have likely survived if they had been seat belted. during the meeting, the investigators will suggest ways to prevent similar crashes in the future and to improve aviation safety overall. they will recommend changes to
7:36 am
the airplanes and to manufacturers. one analyst says the agency is highly regarded in the industry. that meeting is expected to last for several more hours in washington, d.c. we're continuing to monitor it. we'll have updates throughout "mornings on 2." for now we're live in the newsroom, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. more details now on the crash. in february, the department of transportation fined asiana airlines $500,000 for failing to assist crash victims' families. the d.o.t. says they were slow to publicize a phone number for the victims' families and did not contact families of several passengers until five days after the crash. the department of transportation says asiana is the first airline is break a 1997 federal law requiring airlines to provide prompt and generous assistance to passengers and their families after a crash. we will continue to follow this story all morning long.

8:35 am
by multiple fires who believed she was deceased and did not perform triage. >> that same investigator said two passengers ejected from the plane during the crash likely would have survived if they had been wearing seat belts. investigators say overrerall, the emergency response that day was effective. but first responders quickly treated close to 200 injured passengers. there was concern about communication issues. it's a problem sfo has already taken steps to deal with. throughout today's meeting, investigators have been suggesting ways to prevent similar crashes in the future and to improve aviation safety. while the recommendations are not bigedding, they say the airlines, airports and manufacturers are likely to follow them. we're live in the newsroom,

alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> more details. in february, the department of transportation fined asiana airlines $500,000 for not assisting the families of the crash victims. federal transportation officials say the airline was also slow to publicize a phone number for the victims' families and didn't contact families of several passengers until five days after the crash. the department of transportation says asiana airlines is the first to break a 1997 federal law that requires airlines to provide prompt and generous assistance to passengers and their families afterral plane crash. here is the time line -- it was july 6th last year when that plane crashed at sfo. the on-site ntsb investigation wrapped up on july 15th. on july 19th, the san mateo

8:40 am
depending upon your drink choice. it's being reported the rain reason, it has to do with coffee production in brazil. they are going through drought conditions. brazil is apparently the largest producer of the coffee beans. experts say when there's questions about this, that creates a ripple affect of prices on the market. guatemala and costa rica will have to increase production to keep up. you will be paying 5 cents to 20 cents more for coffee. we spoke to several customers. many budget about 10 bucks a week for getting coffee. getting a cup of joe is now becoming a treat instead of a daily habit. >> i usually come twice a week. mondays and fridays. start the weekend and so i budget $10 or less for the week. and that's sort of my cutoff right there. i have a feeling that if prices
8:41 am
continue to rise whether it's here, it will probably drop to once a week. >> i guess i have to let it soak in a little bit. this is my vice that i have in the morning. i have to kind of look at it and see what options are available and make a decision from that point. now, it's not such starbucks locations where you will see an increase. if you buy a 12-ounce bag of beans at the grocery store, the price of a starbucks coffee will go go up 9.99. that's up a dollar. kof other coffee brands have also increased their prices as well. it's also being reported prices for iced teas, food will not be affected. overall coffee prices on the market have increased more than 50% this year alone. a live look in walnut creek, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 8:41. a bold peculiarry happened in northern california. leaves one family with literally nothing.

you are here live with what investigators are saying about pilot error. kyla? >> reporter: dave, the investigator in charge listed a host of safety issues, including flight path management, lack of pilot experience and lack of pilots understanding the throttle and flight system. they show an animation that depicted how the settings looked inside the cockpit as the pilots tried to land the airplane. the investigators said pilots improperly used the throttle and were warned by the plane they were flying too low to act safely. christopher heart said the boeing 777 is one of the most sophisticated an automated planes but that could have kept the pilots from understanding it. at least one of the ntsb members is defending the pilots and seems to be placing blame on boeing an its automation system. others say the pilot not the auto pilot is responsible for the flight.
8:47 am
they talked about the pilot saying he was stressed during the landing. >> just because he said he was stressed isn't in -- necessarily in the sense that we think of someone being stressed out. it means it could many that there is a heightened level of vigilance and we know the performance increases as the stress increases to a certain point. >> reporter: the ntsb says the emergency crew staffing at sfo was well above what's required, 23 firefighters were on duty at the time of the crash. they were able to extricate five passengers trapped but investigators said firefighters could have and should have triaged a passenger they believe was already dead, one who was later run over by rescue crews. one of the ntsb members said for as bad as this day was in san francisco, there are good things to point out. 99% of the people on board survived and 98% were able to self-evacuate. the ntsb contacts say they expect the hearing to go
