to come? surprise of a lifetime. the woman that showed up at her own wedding without knowing in advance it was happening. we'll show you how her fiance pulled it off today, december 28 2014. this is "today" with lester holt and erica hill. live from studio 1a rockefeller plaza. good morning and welcome to "today" on a sunday hornmorning. i'm lester holt. >> a lot of news breaking overnight. let's get to our top story. disappearance of air asia flight 8501. there were 162 on board the jet, 155 passengers and seven crew members, most of them malaysian. >> according to the air traffic controllers t pilot asked to change course because of stormy

weather. there were apparently dense storm clouds in the area. >> the plane was lost 42 minutes after take over after darkness falls. there's no sign of the aircraft. the search has been halt added for the fight. >> katie is at the airport where the plane was headed. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning. of 155 passengers the vast majority were indonesian. it was supposed to get here 12 hours ago but dropped off the radar somewhere over the java sea. this is the third incident with the malaysian based airline this year alone. an emotional scene at the airport in indonesia as families learn the plane carrying their loved ones is missing, lost somewhere over the java sea. i hope for a miracle, and may god save all of them said one friend waiting for news.

the plane was on its way from surabaya to singapore when the pielot climbed to avoid clouds. there were thunderstorms in the area around the time the aircraft disappeared. this is temperature third incident involving a malaysian air lyle airliner this year. this is bringing back memories of the mh370 that disappeared in march and still missing. that was carrying 239 passengers and crew. men mh 17 traveling from amsterdam to kuala lumpur shot down over the ukraine this summer. today more questions and more heart ache from families who just want to know what happened to their loved ones. >> reporter: there are 47 friends and family here. they're behind this corridor sequester ed from the media. we saw a few a little earlier.

they were as you imagine very distraught. they're looking for answers, trying to find out what happened. officials know where and when it dropped off radar. that should give a better idea of where it is in the java sea. going on 13 to 14 hours since it's missing and still no sign of the plane. back to you. >> heartbreaking. katie, thanks. mike bettes has been monitoring the weather situation overnight. what was it looking like when the plane vanished. >> there were storms in the area. it's not unusual this time of we're. it's the where southerly and northerly trade winds come together and produce weather. you can see where it took off and expected to land in singapore. the flight track would take it through the thunderstorm areas over the java sea. the problem is we have thunderstorms in that area now. for recovery efforts. we know the piloted ask to change at duty. the storm tops for 50,000 feet.

we get turbulence all the way to the top of the clouds. even if he was changing elevation, it may have not made a difference what sompt it's an unfortunate situation. they do their best to get around these things. it's an area loaded with thunderstorms today. thanks mike. former ntsb investigator with us now. good to see you. >> good morning lester. >> we see it in the summertime pilots deviating around thunderstorms. what is the danger of a plane crying at cruise level into thunderstorms? >> one of the big issues of these thunderstorms is activity within the thunderstorm. the up and downdraft, potential of hail and icing conditions. those types of winds and gusty wind conditions could compromise the structure of an airplane. creates moderate to severe turbulence in some cases extreme turbulence.

we saw this in air france 447. if you get into it, you may not be able to maintain control of the airplane. >> you mentioned air france. that was over the ocean outside of radar coverage. this was in full coverage at the time. if it fell from the sky or broke up talking a six mile fall to the ground or sea. wouldn't radar have picked up hits of metal falling? >> well in these dense thunderstorms, you can get the signal. you may not have a good reflective signal of the aircraft structure if broken up. you may have lost electrical signals from the aircraft. the transponder and radio communications were working up until a point. then they lost radio and transponder in this particular instance. that could show an electrical

problem on the aircraft due or prior to the loss of control or during loss of control. >> weather is the thing we all tend to look at. you as an investigator know you approach these things that any possibility is alive until you rule it out. what could cause a plane to disappear at cruise level from radar? >> the best evidence we have thus far -- we have no real investigative activity taking place until we find the wreckage and get a voice recorder and flight data recorder. from the investigator standpoint it's what kind of weather information did this crew have prior to their departure, what was the flight path planned, and why was it they didn't see this or at least monitor it better flying through this convergence zone? the big issue here is you have a line of thunderstorms, have to have a way out, have to have a plan b if you will.

it's going to be interesting to see what the crew may or may not have had as far as information to make a decision to outclimb this thunderstorm. talking 50,000 foot activity they should have been able to see a lot on their radar and get help from air traffic control and the airline dispatch folks. that's a big issue to see a what in fact may have been the decision maker for this crew. i don't see anything other than that right now because we don't have a lot of information. it looks like weather is going to be a primary factor that's going to be investigated by the teams from indonesia singapore and malaysia. >> we appreciate your input. thanks so much. a frantic rescue operation. betty has more. >> good morning. a dramatic rescue is underway. 400 passengers and crew are

trapped a board a burning ferry. rescuers are batting strong winds and heavy seas to get to that boat 50 miles from the island of corfu. a passenger call add saying we're burning and sinking. the ferry was steaming from greece to italy when fire erupted. there's a growing divide between the new york city police force and mayor. tens of thousands of officers gathered for the funeral for the assassinated officer saturday. they turned the their backs when the mayor spoke. we have the somber gathering. >> officer ramos got a sendoff salute to his dedication and community and for his family as well. >> to the ramos family we were all lucky to have rafael.

>> the vice president echoed in words the evidence from the turnout. colleagues came from country wide marches of support. salt lake city cleveland, boston. >> when an assassins bullet targeted two officers it targeted this city and touched the soul of the entire nation. >> speakers included new york's governor cuomo, police commissioner brat ton who promoted ramos and liu to detective. and bill de blasio who was ignored by some of his own. >> we come here today to mourn and will debate. >> inside the mayor received a warmer reception. his office saying his sole focus is honoring this city. >> you can see in his family, see what kind of parent he was, what kind of husband and son he

was. >> he was mr. biden said a cop for all the right reasons. nbc news new york. doctors are discussing when they'll okay former george h.w. bush to leave the hospital. his condition is improving. pope john paul ii made a surprising visit. he was seen laying flowers on the grave of the pope he tried to assassinate in 1981. the gesture comes 31 years to the day where the pope forgave him. pope john paul ii was can on xized this year. the famous time square crystal ball is getting fixed up for its moment. it will drop from the flag pole to ring in 2015. a million people are expected to

pack in new york city streets to see the six ton ball drop as they count down to the new year. hard to believe it's already upon us. >> you'll be there? >> no. i tried that one year. getting down to the ball was a nightmare. there was so many people. >> it looks very cool but probably best on tv. >> there's nowhere to go to the restroom. mike bettes back with a look at the weather on this holiday weekend. things turn south for a lot of us. >> ushering in a new weather pattern. colder air is about to roll in. friends in canada sharing frigid air with us. everything changes in the next couple of days. cold air sinking south bound, goes to the deep south. temperatures we'll experience today. that's 8 diseaseegrees below average.

cooling conditions, only 36 tomorrow. a cold new year's eve with temperatures dropping onto the 20s. gear this week. >> mike thanks. cyber security in the headlines today. a hacker speaking out this morning claiming to be one of the people that had the attack on sony and microsoft. we have the latest developments from los angeles. good morning. >> good morning lester. play station and xbox seem to be back up and running this

morning. one of the biggest question behind this would be why would somebody attack those networks? we may have an answer. to the hackers, it's just a game. with a smile and shrug, a man claiming to be one of the hackers that crashed xbox and play station explains motives. this person known only as ryan spoke to sky news from finland. his involvement with the hacking group lizard squad could not be independently confirmed. ryan says it took three people to knock out the popular gaming networks. >> i might have forced a couple of kids to spend their time with their families instead of playing games. >> a sony executive now acknowledges it's a cyber app tack a triggering problems this weekend. saying in a post t video game industry has been experiencing high levels of traffic designed to disrupt connectivity and

online game play. ryan claims gamers should blame the company. >> hacks have been around for quite some time. they went after play station and gone after xbox. they're not new to the game. they love to do what i call pranks. >> it's an unrelated suspected cyber app tack that has north korea recovering after another nationwide internet outage in the country. pyongyang still furious over the release of "the interview" is blaming washington for connectivity problem this is week. they have denied involvement. >>le -- now the white house has more. the administration says it's ugly and disrespectful. now to politics. 2015 is going to be a busy year as the race for president gets in full swing. republicans take over both houses of congress.

chuck todd is moderator of "meet the press." good morning. let's start with the presidential race. i mentioned it's heating up. what's the first thing you're looking for as far as candidates are concerned? >> how quickly they decide to get in. the shock so far is jeb bush dipped his toe in before anyone else. i don't think anybody would have said the first republican to make a serious move would have been jeb bush unless he was getting out, instead he's getting in. the big question is when does hillary clinton make her candidacy official? she'd love to put it off slons she can. march 1st april 1 can she wait until memorial day? those are the questions. when do you start running? >> this congress was third least productive in history. republicans take both houses of congress. what do you think? will this be more effective? how do you think they'll work

with president obama? >> we'll find out. the focus is going to be on the senate. the house can pass whatever they want. the senate republican majority while it is a good majority size wise it is not near the 60 votes they need. what does that mean? they need a lot of democrats in order to pass some of these house bills. whatever they get to the president's desk is going to have support from at least a handful of democrats. the question i have is what kind of relationship will the president have with democrats that will be the deciders on this? if he has a 2k3w50dgood one, he won't have to veto many bills. >> stock market is at record levels. does this give the administration a boost of new energy? >> they feel they have a boost of new energy. the president has in some ways ignored the election results. he believes he isn't to blame for problems because he didn't get a chance to campaign and

defend his record. i think this rising economy is the biggest game changer in 2015. if this economy is truly hitting the accelerator pedal in improvement, it will change politics in washington. a lot could get done. a rise in the president's popularity rating makes him get stronger. it changes the 2016 race. >> what do you coming up next? >> we're going to delve into the topic you've spent time on. obviously this issue between african-americans, law enforcement community and now new york city political leaders and the rank and fall of nypd. it's all a fire storm. bill bratton is at the center of it. >> it's a hot topic. thanks. the blushing bride that had no idea she was after seeing everything, i think this is the one. but let me take one last look. sure. take your time. built-in nav heated seats for mom
