high-rise buildings after a massive quake hit taiwan. the quake hit in the middle of the night, while everyone was still sleeping. at least 11 people killed. many others still missing. this morning, the rush to pull these trapped out alive. and ready to rumble. fireworks expected at the republican presidential debate tonight. the last one before tuesday's all-important new hampshire primary as marco rubio surges, donald trump and the rest of the gop field take aim. while hillary clinton tries to rally women supporters to close bernie sanders. we're live on the campaign trail. shooting scare. officers storm their way into a boxing event. onlookers, including children, running for their lives. >> daddy, help me! daddy! what was that? >> this morning, one person is dead while several of the attackers are still on the loose and super frenzy. super bowl 50 one day away. tens of thousands of fans

many not worried about the sticker shock associated with the price of a ticket. >> what's a few thousands dollars in the sands of time? >> if you don't have a ticket to the game, we have you covered, "today," saturday, february 6, 2016. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. >> good morning. welcome to "today" on this saturday morning. i'm sheinelle jones in for erica who is enjoying the weekend off. >> i'm craig melvin alongside john roberts. we have dylan in santa clara who drew the short straw. how is it out there? >> reporter: i agreed to come here when i thought the patriots were showing up.

>> reporter: yeah, i was conned into this one. no, just kidding. it was my first time in the san fra bay area. we have talked to so many incredible nfl players. we've been taking in the sights, doing as muchically do in a 24-hour period. we will have the highlights in a few minutes. >> we will come back in a bit, dylan. let's get to the stoptop story. in taiwan, hundreds of people had to be pulled from the rubble after the earthquake. many of the injured are babies and children. nbc's kelly cobiella is in london with more. kelly, good morning. >> reporter: sheinelle, good morning to you. it is now dark in tainan and more than 800 soldiers are helping to search for the missing. they were in the huge apartment building. some infants. the apartment building is 16 floors and basement. people who got out say they could hear their neighbors

>> reporter: one after another, rescuers pulled babies and children from the collapsed concrete. mothers too. clearly injured and in pain. this was the 16 story apartment building. more than 80 families living inside. now the focus of the massive rescue effort. the bed shook. everything toppled this woman said. she and her husband made it out on their own. across the city of 2 million, many did the same. the quake struck when people were sleeping. >> i was awakened by the violent shaking of the whole building. the quake began before 4:00 a.m. my 7-year-old was in a different room. we could hear her crying for us and we could not get out of her beds to walk to her. >> reporter: the 6.4 earthquake was strong and shallow. by dawn, its impact clear. multi-story buildings tilting. cars crushed under balconies.

dozens more trapped. this morning, the biggest rescue effort is here at the wegwan building. rescuers pulled more than 200 from the rubble. even family pets. they are still searching for survivors here and across the city. already, there are questions if builders cut corners on the high-rise. the focus is now on recovery efforts. dozens hospitalized. reports of more than 400 injured now. night in shelters while rescuers still are not sure, sheinelle and craig, how many are missing. >> thank you, kelly. authorities in new york city will be back on the scene of the deadly crane collapse as they figure out what caused the structure to topple. the crane was secured during high winds when it started

it slammed into a building and crashed to the ground scattering debris more blocks as you can see here. the 300 tons of twisted metal killed one and injured three others and crushed several cars. officials say it is a miracle it wasn't worse. some candidates could make their last stand in new hampshire. the stakes are high with the first in the nation's primary just 72 hours away. we have you covered on both sides. let's begin with hallie jackson following the republicans. >> reporter: good morning, guys. a lot of interest in the race. officials predicting a record turnout here in new hampshire. we are looking ahead to tonight's debate where donald trump will be on stage this time after raising eyebrows the day after his snow day. donald trump, a no-show. blaming snow in new hampshire for skipping straight to south

promising he is not leaving the granite state in the cold. >> my focus is in south carolina. >> reporter: trump pulling crowds in florence, but in new hampshire, jeb bush. tweeting at trump, my 90-year-old mother made it out to campaign during the storm. trump bashing bush back. >> jeb bush has spent $112 million and nobody shows up. what the hell? >> reporter: while trump's still leading in new hampshire, it is marco rubio rising to second now. explaining why to nbc's gabe gutierrez. >> it is not enough to be angry. you have to tell people what you are going to do. i think the cumulative effect of doing that for months will help us. >> reporter: rubio at tonight's debate sits in the line of fire and the other establishment candidates look to make their mark. this state is a must win for some.

endorsement from bobby jindal and takes aim at ted cruz. >> if you get a call on tuesday night saying i dropped out. it is not true. keep voting. >> reporter: that is a dig at the senator's campaign. cruz looking ahead and confident. though slipping in new hampshire nationally. >> the two big initiatives i'm running on, repealing every word of obamacare and adopting a simple flat tax so you fill out your tax on a post card and abolish the irs. >> reporter: what can we expect to see at tonight's debate? look for immigration to be one of the major topics. it is important for marco rubio's potential vulnerabilities and what donald trump likes to talk about. we could see the republican field pounce on that. >> thank you, hallie. on the democratic side, bernie sanders holds a lead over hillary clinton in the granite

the question is will hillary be able to come back for the primary? we have kristen welker with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, sheinelle. senator sanders has a 20-point lead over secretary clinton. she added events to her schedule today. she is bringing in an army of volunteers and telling supporters don't give up. with the democratic race growing more combative, hillary clinton and bernie sanders faced off at a party dinner. >> the only way we create the change that we need is through a political revolution. >> i will spend all my tomorrows doing everything i can to make your tomorrows better. >> reporter: following a day filled with fireworks. >> i want to say a word to the extraordinary people, particularly young people, who are supporting senator sanders. i know you may not be for me

>> reporter: meanwhile, bernie sanders rallied his faithful. painting clinton as the establish. ment ment ment. >> reporter: he has been hitting clinton for being entrenched with wall street and giving speeches to goldman sachs and clinton responding to andrea mitchell. >> are you sorry you did it? >> no, i'm not. i thought it was a good way to communicate what i was seeing in the world. >> reporter: accusing sanders of smearing her. >> i think the campaign he claims to be positive is engaged in artful smear and inuendo. >> reporter: sanders has a double digit lead. supporters ready to put a win on the board. >> we are tired of playing the big game. we want to see things happen.

in reinforcements hoping for a repeat. she was trailing barack obama here, but now she is looking to pull ahead. and during the debate this week, secretary clinton said she would look into the possibility of releasing the transcripts of paid speeches. so far the campaign has not released anything and officials tell me they are looking into it. meanwhile, today, sanders and clinton have a busy day of campaigning ahead. sheinelle. >> kristen welker, thank you. >> alice jordan is here with us. and steve kornacki is here with us as well. good morning to you. >> steve, let's start with you and let's start with donald trump. a commanding lead in new hampshire. some polls show him flipping nationally.

but expected to be on the stage tonight. let's talk about what he has to do. is new hampshire a must-win moment for trump? >> i think it pretty much is. the 13--point lead, the eight day stretch is the most volatile eight days in american politics. you remember hillary clinton and barack obama, she was trailing at this point in new hampshire by double digits. she came back and won on primary day. the cliche is a lot can happen in a short period of time in politics. that is true this week. we have seen marco rubio starting to move up significantly in the polls here. donald trump is maybe sliding back a bit. he is not growing. if you are donald trump and lost iowa and turn around and follow it up with a loss in new hampshire, especially after leading, it is really hard to see how he can jump start his campaign in later stages. he needs to put wins on the

beating expectations steadily to stay viable in the later contests. he has to come out with a win tuesday or he is in trouble. >> alice, steve mentioned marco rubio. up six points in a recent poll. you have the outsider candidates or so-called outsider candidates. ted cruz and donald trump going after him tonight. you also have kasich and christie and governor bush as well. campaigns on life support. how big is the bull's-eye on marco rubio's back in the debate tonight in new hampshire? >> he is the one they have to take down. he is cutting into the vote margin. especially for christie and kasich. it is make or break. he has a poor showing. he is probably out. kasich has about 2.5. doesn't look good for him. kasich has put all resources in new hampshire. he does have the best ground game of anyone. he could surprise a bit. >> and steve, let's talk about bernie sanders for a moment.

new hampshire. new hampshire has been kind to the clintons. with bill clinton in the past. his campaign. and hillary clinton in 2008. so is there any sense that support will perhaps turn out on tuesday and give clinton a bit of a surprise victory? >> i think there is an expectation this will tighten. you have polls showing between 20 or 30 points for sanders. most people think that will tighten. when you look at the clinton family history here, you think of hillary clinton obviously coming back and winning in 2008, but the other one was bill clinton in 1992. we remember new hampshire as the state that made him the comeback kid. what we forget is he actually lost new hampshire that night by eight points to paul tsongas. that is how he called himself the comeback kid. that is something to keep in mind. i think the clinton campaign would like to get out of new hampshire, they would like to drive the deficit into single digits. they like to close with some momentum. they like to be able to tell the

from next door. he is from vermont. a huge advantage there. there is not a huge advantage to hampshire. that is another story. they will say that. they want the media to put an asterisk on it. they want to say we beat expectations. >> elise, quickly. after new hampshire, south carolina primary. hillary clinton doing very well in south carolina. well. after new hampshire, is there a path for bernie sanders? >> i think it just depends on how successful bernie is at expanding his message beyond non-white voters and if he can reach more diverse audiences. so far, he hasn't been successful. >> it is exciting to watch. elise and steve, thank you for talking with us this morning. several authorities are holding a michigan man who they say was plotting terrorist

a federal complaint alleges the 22-year-old planned attacks on police and area church. he has been under investigation since may with agents following his gun purchases and social media accounts where he described acts of terrorism, including beheadings. he is in custody on weapons and drug charges. excitement is building in san francisco for tomorrow's big game. security is tight for the tens of thousands who descended on san francisco for super bowl 50. among the fun, peyton manning is use. we have nbc's miguel almaguer outside levi's stadium where the game is played tomorrow. good morning. sheinelle. security is super tight. if you are looking for a ticket for the big game, it is not expensive.

francisco, soon more fans will hit the streets. 1 million came here for the super bowl, but only 70,000 will go to the game. >> i would do anything to get a ticket to the game. i'd love to. i can't afford it. >> reporter: a seat near the 50 yard line could set you back $20,000. the prices are sky high in the upper deck. $3,000 and a pair of binoculars for section 411. >> the panthers don't go to the super bowl every day. >> reporter: randall dropped nearly $5,000 for his seats. >> what is a few thousand dollars in the sands of time? >> reporter: before the game, drama. the commissioner confirming the league is reviewing allegations against peyton manning and whether the superstar quarterback received hgh. human growth hormone. >> i don't see the investigation as any type of distraction for peyton manning.

hand. >> reporter: with manning denying use, his attorney says his wife received medication for her use only. ahead of its biggest night, the nfl trying to manage i.c.e. hauled in $39 million worth of fake merchandise. bogus items sold as authentic. >> we have seized over 440,000 items. >> reporter: this weekend, the roads and rails across the bay area are expected to be jammed. security here at levels never seen before. f-15s are in the air and no-fly zone 32 miles wide. >> we're here to watch the skies. you watch the super bowl. >> reporter: on sunday, that's exactly what 110 million people will do. and for most of us, the best seat in the house will be nowhere near the stadium. >> reporter: security will tighten over the next 24 hours. there are 60 agencies and the fbi is leading the charge.

among the safest places to be anywhere in the country on sunday. >> you bet. thank you. dylan dreyer in santa clara with a check of the forecast. you're wearing a coat. >> i'm wearing a coat and freezing. it's 45 degrees here. >> wow. >> i would have been more prepared for standing out in the snow. that's what i'm used to, so i didn't bring my hand warmers. we did have some snowfall across new england yesterday. we did actually see this as a little engine that could kind of storm as the snow just continued island. this is in warwick, rhode island, also parts of connecticut saw steadier snow. we did have some higher elevations across connecticut and massachusetts pick up nearly a foot of snow. so, we haven't really seen this driving types of conditions all that much this winter. so, it was tough for the cars to get used to that again and the snow. we are going to see a lot of the snow melt away. we have a ridge in the jet stream. that's going to start to build in and help temperatures warm well above average.

even some 50s, especially as we go into the next couple of days before the next storm system begins to work its way closer. we'l and that's your latest forecast. guys. >> dylan, thank you. we will come back to you in a bit for much, much more for the scene of the super bowl. a frightening scene in ireland. shots rang out at a local boxing

terror captured on video. two gunmen seen in the front page newspaper photo. thomas roberts is here with more. >> this is horrifying, craig. one person was killed and several others injured during the shooting. it happened in the crowded room with hundreds of people with an afternoon of fun turned into chaos. the weigh-in ceremony for the boxing event in dublin quickly turned terrifying. at least four gunmen opened fire in the lobby of the regency hotel. people making their way out the side entrance. in the video, you can hear the voice of a child crying help. >> daddy, help me. daddy, what was that? >> reporter: a front page newspaper photo shows two gunmen wearing police uniforms and carrying assault rifles. the shooters entered with handguns and one dressed as a

a bbc journalist. >> i thought i was going to die. >> reporter: the associated press says one man was killed and two others wounded. local police ruled out a terror attack attributeing the violence to gang warfare. police are worried this will ignite a bigger gang war. the boxing heevent to be held tonight has been cancelled. it is frightening for the kids in the room. >> thomas, thanks. in los angeles, a doctor has been sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for killing patients by over prescribing medication. convicted of second-degree murder. the first time a u.s. doctor has been convicted of recklessly prescribing drugs. she wrote thousands of prescriptions for vicodin and percocet.

brought you last week about the retired ohio police officer trying to keep his k-9 water near. officer matt hickey was told he had to buy his police dog ajax at auction. that sparked the social media campaign and raised more than $70,000. officials then determined the law allows the pooch to be purchased for $1 if his unit is disbanded. they ruled that the ajax unit is disbanded. officer hickey turned over his $1. he gets to take ajax into retirement. for the money, it will be used for bulletproof vests for police dogs. >> that is nice. busy morning this morning. stay with us. still to come on "today." a look at the week's big stories and including this picture that

fall asleep on the first day of work. and sir elton john getting in on a little round of car pool karaoke. we will give you a lesson. but first this is "today" on nbc. (phone ringing) you can't deal with something, by ignoring it. but that's how some presidential candidates seem to be dealing with social security. americans work hard, and pay into it. so our next president needs a real plan to keep it strong. (elephant noise) (donkey noise)

still to come, the picture that's stumping the internet. three beautiful ladies, two of them are twins. one is their mom. can you guess? we will reveal it all in trending. and also, you can't have a super bowl without commercials, right?

on we're back . we're back on a saturday morning, february 6, 2016. a chilly morning. a chilly saturday. nonetheless, a great crowd, though, out on the plaza frying to stay warm.

here's a look at what's making headlines. more than seven people are dead, more than 400 hurt after a massive earthquake struck taiwan. the 6.4 magnitude quake hit in the middle of the night in a city called tainan. first responders rushed into several high-rise buildings that collapsed in that quake. you can count the 18-year-old aaffluenza teen, a judge decided to move him to jail late this week. the coast guard is searching off the coast of los angeles after what's believed to have been a midair collision between two small planes in cacafornia. some wreckage has been found in the water at this is point. no word how many people are on board at this point. the download with a recap of some of the week's biggest headlines. >> we have a lot to talk about the political fireworks to an explosion midflight.

>> you need to say innstreaming data will incur charges. >> and this intern on the first day of his new job. >> and what else? memes. >> i captured our video of our executive producer tom mazzarelli in his office. that is his snoring. he said please remind people i wake up at 2:30 in the morning. >> i mean, not only is he sleeping, he is dead to the world. >> i thought this was a joke. >> that was the actual source. >> that was him sleeping. >> i guess you are so tired. >> you can't keep the bosses awake, what does that say? let's head back out to santa clara for another check of the weather with dylan dreyer. good to see you again. >> good to see you, too. it is early out here. it is like 4:30 in the morning.

we are going to see some decent weather around here for the super bowl. that's for sure. we could be close to record highs. we are focusing on a bigger storm system that could develop over the weekend. on sunday, areas that don't normally get the wintry mix could see some of it in the carolinas. that storm juts out to see clipping cape cod and the island islands. on monday and monday night, the track will determine how much snow we see. some models keep it close to the coast. that means snow and others keep it out to sea and that means less snow. that is something i wanted to

and i'm joined now by keith bruce. the super bowl 50 host committee -- your title is so long. >> super bowl 50 host committee ceo. >> you have been planning this for three years now. what is it like to see this come together? >> it is an exciting culmination of three years to get here. the day before super bowl 50, we were awarded it back in 2013. we are making this hard to make it the best super bowl ever. >> i see a lot of fans walking around. more broncos fans and panthers fans. do you expect more fans today? >> more broncos fans because it is a shorter flight. expecting more private aviation in the bay area than ever before

women calling it ageist and sexist remarks. people posted their own pictures in support of the actress. susan sarandon got in on the issue. posted this picture. one of the guys on the floor got extremely close to the monitor. back up there. this response to this picture. not one cleavage photo i have been sent was taken at a funeral or memorial service. which kind of proves my point. >> i just think -- i don't think it is a problem. i didn't mean it like that, free. i mean free like free. >> his issue was it was done during a tribute to those lost in the industry. >> you say free. i say she looks wonderful.
