we begin the day with breaking news we have been following out of maryland. a chopper crashed killing everybody onboard. >> and there should be more in a moment, but first let's go live to megan mcgrath for more details. >> the company offers instruction as well as other ariel services. the fourth person onboard was a passenger onboard the helicopter. the chopper took off from frederick municipal airport about 10:00 as night, and bursted into flames just east of haguers town. >> the four-seat helicopter barely recognizable as it lay in the median of i-70. the chopper went down just before 10:30 last night.

it killed all four people onboard. rescue crews arrived to find a helicopter engulfed in flames. >> at that point, there was some fuel spread from the helicopter that covered the interstate and so forth. initially there was heavy fire from the helicopter itself. >> it's unclear whether weather played a role onboard. three employees from the instruction school and a passenger. drivers traveling on i-70 watched in shock as the helicopter fell to the ground. no vehicles were struck.

advanced helicopter concepts released a letter that it sent to tye tlompes just a short time ago. it read in part three of our employees and a passenger werel aboard a helicopter when it crashed. all four have parished. heavy rain, we understand, was the case when the helicopter crashed. chuck? >> there were quite a few thunderstorms yesterday. maryland had over two inches of rain, and frederick is east of where the helicopter went down. today the atmosphere is recharged and we will once again face the opportunity for strong and severe thunderstorms later this afternoon. right now the temperature jumped up to 80 degrees here now in washington, and 80 down in norfolk, virginia, and 70 in pittsburgh. dew point temperatures remain on

the sticky side in the mid to upper 60s in washington eastbound to the ocean, and low to mid-60s in the mountains invein west virginia. and there is more than enough moisture in the atmosphere, and as a result more rain is expected later this afternoon. so far, july 2009, is tied for first place, the driest july on record. we had half an inch of rain yesterday. i believe we aren first place now. and any more rain, and obviously we will be dropping out of that. the forecast for today, partly sunny and warm and humid outside. and highs in the mid to upper 80s. a complete check of the 7-day forecast coming up in a few. back to you guys. >> thank you. and here is a lightning strike cutting across the sky around the capitol dome last night. and there was flooding near the

pentagon. in d.c., there was high water in the tunnel under scott circle, and in maryland, a golfer is recovering after he was injured during a lightning strike at the congressionaloulu c ryinb coun bethes bethesda. and you can go to nbcwashington.com, and once you get there search today's forecast for weather. and in afg nisthaan a bombingwo trime anc. vi er sceer members thounr sinerthn afghanta beenthhe h t mofo natori iie tpsn nato tripsn taisan anistan. these killing raised the total to 87. now details on a story that touched off a political and social firestorm across the country. >> the cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody

when there was already proof that they were in their own home. >> it was a choice of words that intensified a controversy. the police officer at the center of the controversy is breaking his silence. he says he is speaking out now because he is tired of being called a racist, and is offended because the president said he acted stupidly. he arrested the professor last week after a neighbor reported a break in at the scholar's home. >> he was the one that was being a provauktive. this was not a back and forth exchange. i did not want to see this either. the amount of negative things that he was saying about me warranted a response and allow people to see that i am not a monster or bigot or racists that he portrayed me to be. >> he is an expect on racial profiling.

gates is demanding an apology, erhedgean s ssay he is not sorry. they will set up an independent view in the community to review what happened. what could be good news for our economy. today the stock market opened at numbers above 9000 for the first time in months. the dow continues to hover around that mark. the economy and health care taking center stage on capitol hill. they confirm the senate will not vote on health care next month. it's a delay the republicans see as a win. we have a report from capitol hill. >> the news drove the dow oer the over the 9000 mark for the first time since january. and even ford out did expectations. is it a sign of a turn around?

>> i am from chicago! i don't break. >> president obama last night sounded bullish, but he said a full recovery and health care reform go hand and hand. >> we have to lay a new fountion that will allow the united states of america to thrive. >> and the what the president has been selling is nonsense, and is a whole separate issue. >> west virginia's rockefeller, for one, is against the insurance co-op idea that could win gop votes. >> to be honest, really down in the trenches trading of view

that we had. >> and senate leaders say no vote in august, and tha was the president's deadline. >> that's okay. i just want people to keep on working. >> critics know timing affects the bill? >> postponing the health care legislation means a limited program and a program that less changes the status quo. >> not the big change obama says the families and the businesses and nation need. >> one initiative along with climate change is on hold while lawmakers sort out where the healthare reform date will lead. and there is an increase of the minimum wage. and nationwide, including states like maryland and virginia, workers will make now $7.25 an hour, and d.c. minimum workers will make $8.25.

>> lisa richards and her family own this ice cream and burger shop. too small to be required to pay the 70 cents an hour more for minimum wage, but expect an impact. >> have you a 14, 15, 16-year-old girl or young man and it's their first time job walking in the door, and that's what their expectations are. >> higher wages affect more than payroll. >> when your payroll goes up, it's relative. and payroll taxes and insurance and unemployment goes up. everything. >> the worry is over raising prices in a recession. >> you can absorb that type of thing. the public is very resistance to raising prices, and unfortunately, we have to do that. >> dr. mitchell adrien. >> have you to come to the

conclusion of reducing the number of hours they work or reducing the number of employees or raising your prices to cover the additional costs. >> speaking from experience, no, i don't feel sympathy from the employers. the employees are what makes your business. >> this fry is a real good day for me. >> more money in the pocket for workers, with customers left with a bigger bill. leann gregg, nbc news. we will see what the traffic looks like at midday. >> good morning, steve. doesn't look so good. this is southbound 95 again for your friday escape from the d.c. area. you are not doing it too quickly right now. there was earlier roadwork, and they cleared that up about an hour ago. this is the backup leaving town, 95 flowing from spring field down to the occoquan right now. and let's head overo the bay bridge right now. and that's not too bad. maybe, 10, 15 cars at the worse

through anyone of the toll booths to get heading down across the bay bridge. back to you. >> thank you. >> 11:11 is the time. we are waiting for a live press conference to begin about last night's deadly helicopter crash in washington county, maryland. and what metro is doing now to ease the concerns riders have about circuit problems. who is being eyed as the target in the manslaughter death of michael jackson. and perfection on the mound, and it's what happened after yesterday's game that have people tal fios guy! where ya headed?

the transit agency is trying to educate drivers. the youtube video shows what it would be like to operate the train. tracee wilkins is live at the tacoma station now on this story. >> it seems as long as the ntsb is doing the investigation, some of the investigation coming out is scary. the bottom line is they want to find out all the problems they can associated with the accident and any other problem and fix them. >> more problems are being detected on metro. one month after the accident that killed nine people on the red line.

investigators with the national transportation safety boa are continuing to focus on the circuit that since this train on the tracks stopped them and runs them in automatic mode. the investigators have already reported a bond on the circuit replaced five days before the crash malfunctioning. officials say the problem was not so bad that the circuit could not detect trains. >> we have not found any failures. we are going through the records to insure that there were no failures during that time. if we find cases where we failed to detect the train, you will hear this from us. >> the ntsb have asked for records to see if anything was missed by operators. from once every 30 days, to twice a day, there will be

reviews. if any anaum laez are found, they are thorougy investigated. >> all the money we spent on metro, they should be doing their job. >> meanwhile, capitol hill is getting involved, introducing regulations on subway systems. >> part of it is having vehicles that can withstand crashes better than older vehicles. some of it is the black box. and that's in the event of a collision. >> as it stands, these anomalies are found after the fact becau that's the way the metro system is set up now. but the ntsb ordered them to change that. and they are working with a vendor to come up with a real time system to analyze the system and take a look at the anomalies as they are happening. back to you in the studio. >> tracee, thank you. and chuck bell joins us to talk about the forecast. >> you and i are going to have a

flights for the helicopter concept. it was a youth foundation they were taking people out on flights to raise money. they did that between 4:00 and 8:00, and then they wted for the weather to clear and then took off. >> and she also said that there was no flight plan filed and no contact with air-traffic control, and that was closed. and eyewitnesss reported the helicopter contacted held phone lines, and the helicopter was flying low. the pilot had a medical certification updated recently and had 630 hours of flight experience. they will look at a lot of things. the maintenance records and the

again.d morning, once agn. it's a beautifulay at this point in time. we are starting to see cumulus clouds bubbling up in the heating of the day. and just off to the right of that, if you look hard at the bottom of the screen, you can make out the washington monument. and temperatures climbed into the upper 70s to near 80 degrees in most parts were 80 degrees downtown. and 73 degrees in elkins, west virginia. and still enough moisture in the atmosphere to bring up thunderstorms. and most of the action has been moving off the virginia kapz and heading out into the open waters of the atlantic. still a weather disturbance in the upper levels of the atmosphere that will drift over head later in the afternoon. and we will have the chance for

later thunderstorms. and highs today, between 85 and 89 degrees. and all eyes towards the weekend. tomorrow looking good for a saturday. plenty of sunshine. hot and humid tomorrow. with high pressure in charge, we don't have to worry about the rain for tomorrow, just the sunburn. don't forget your sun block if you will spend anytime outside this weekend. uv index is in the high range, so you will get burned and crispy out there. the swine flu outbreak has already grown to pandemic proportions. it could get bigger. given the size of the world's population, the virus is likely to spread for sometime. it's asked governments to stop reporting new cases, saying the effort is too great now that the disease has become so widespread. health officials statement more than 1 million cases in the u.s. alone. maryland will n one of the testing grounds for a swine flu vaccine. the university of the maryland

comment on the new information, but maintains his client did nothing wrong. michael jackson's autopsy results could be released and determine whether or not charges are filed. >> the district attorney has the right to make his own independent decision that it was a homicide and pursue the case if he thinks it's appropriate. >> there are new money problems inside the jackson family. katherine jackson went to guaran overnight. she has temporary custody over michael's kids. in new court papers just filed, katherine claims now that michael is gone, so is the cash. other than extremely modest social security benefits, she has no means of support, the papers say. there is an urgent need to pay a family allowance for the benefit of the children. >> they went in for ex-party,

and that suggests the till is dry. >> the judge denied the motion. katherine jackson will not get a dime yet, pending the hearing. >> michael jackson owned the home his parents live in. and it's certainly, you know, one would assume that the financial relationships between michael and members of his family were deep. >> to help the executors of his estate, they are working on a new publishing deal, to reprint the autobiography, "moon walk."o the final op reports are expected to be released next week. a hearing to determine the custody of jackson's children are scheduled for august 3rd.
