this morning after their airplane plummeted through the air. take a look at these new pictures we got in. the air asia flight from australia to bali dropped more than 20,000 feet in nine minutes. this happened yesterday. it's not clear what went wrong on that plane, but boy, oh, boy. >> i mean, i lost my breath just thinking and looking at those pictures. >> terrifying. >> imagine the fear. coming up at 11:45 we'll show you video from inside the plane during the chaos and why the scare is especially memorable for one who was onboard. colin kaepernick filing a grievance against the nfl. he believes team owners have colluded to keep him out of the league because of his social protests on the field. the former san francisco 49ers quarterback kneeled during the national anthem to protest racial inequality and police brutality. that started a national conversation and other players have continued those

kaepernick became a free agent after he opted out of the nfl contract at the end of last season and his attorney says the grievance was filed after trying other options with football executives. >> to the middle of the field and that is a redskins touchdown. >> the redskins are coming off of a win and now they have a little extra rest before one of their biggest gains of the year. they beat the 49ers yesterday and they're in second place right now, but they will probably have to play -- they're going to have to play even better to beat the eagles. the eagles are on fire. carol maloney showing us how the skins held on. >> an ugly two-point win over a team without a victory, but just enough for kirk cousins. with his wife and newborn son looking on, cousins does them

mcgeorge explains why the old-style writing, it may be good for your brain. >> i can write faster in cursive and i take notes on the job all of the time so it's a useful skill to me. >> we're spoiled these days with computers and just type in everything in so i think, you know, it involves patience and from the parents and the kids. >> i believe it is better and more advanced and it's more artistic, and it requires a lot of control and concentrating. >> but not everyone is convinced. >> i don't think it's necessary, honestly. if people want to do cursive and do it artistically, they can learn it by themselves, probably. >> i think cursive is good for writing signatures, but the way technology is advancing it's not as relevant now. >> but is there an educational benefit to learning

we asked dr. stefani hines. the most important question to ask is handwriting in general. is hand writing in general important? studies that we have definitely show that handwriting is important for learning and it's important for retaining information. that's because hand writing is a more complex process in the brain. college students who took notes by hand performed better on tests compared to students who took notes on a laptop program once you learned to type you can go pretty fast, but hand writing is by nature going to be slower. you have to be able to synthesize that information and write it down at the same time. >> but are there benefits to cursive over printing. hines says that depends. for children with learning problems, cursive could be the better option. >> there are times when you have to pick up your pencil and all of the letters are connected and it's much more fluid. sometimes the children do bet

flowing together with fewer interruptions. >> hines has her great-grandfather's spelling book from 1905. i see the beautiful cursive handwriting compared to what we do now. i print. so i would never be able to do this. >> reporter: but for today's kids -- >> it's good to offer both and they pick the form that works best for them. >> reporter: if you need another argument for keeping cursive around, there's this from 12-year-old ella. >> think it's good to know because, like, my parents write in cursive and sometimes i can't, like, read what they're saying. >> what about the declaration of independence and all these documents, right? and i'm just a big believer that there are things that pen to paper, keys cannot replace them. >> writing thank you notes and that thing. >> yes. >> it's part of your voice and signatures. >> in some ways we're dumbing down our kids you know what i mean? and tis

holding on to the old-style writing for brain function. i love it. >> there's something to be said about retention, like you said. reinforcement. >> good stuff. we keep holding on to this warm weather and it's messing us up in a way. >> not just our hair, but the hair is a factor. >> some people are holding on or moving on, actually beyond fall. >> it seems like we have this extended summer, but we had some changes this morning and also a few school systems in our area. i want to tell you about this, already getting ready for winter and why they're talking about the

ralpand as a doctor, nobody ever asked if i'm a democrat or republican. they just want my help. so if donald trump is helping virginia i'll work with him. but donald trump proposed cutting virginia's school funding, rolling back our clean air and water protections, and taking away health care from thousands of virginians. as a candidate for governor, i sponsored this ad because i've stood up to donald trump on all of it. ed gillespie refuses to stand up to him at all.

it's hard to believe, but it's almost time to fall back. daylight saving time coming up in just a few weeks along with adjusting all of the clocks and the ones on the noef and the microwaves and your homes, there's one another very important thing you need to check out, your smoke alarms. and i know it may seem simple, but you've seen how many stories we've reported about house fires and non-working smoke alarms and we went to home depot to talk about how easy and important it is to check the smoke alarms and keep your family safe. >> test them once a year. if you have the other ones with a 9-volt

make sure the alarm goes off and everything and after ten years you definitely discard them and purchase another one. >> good advice there. we have tons of resources about fire prevention in our nbc washington app, just search fire safety. >> while you're checking the alarm, it's time to practice that fire escape plan with your family. >> while many of us are thinking about fall, there are some already thinking about winter. today local officials are getting prepared for the snow we might get. this morning the district is holding a snow readiness hearing and tonight prince georges county will host its first snow summit to help residents get ready. >> you can never get ready enough because we shut down with just a dusting around here. you've got to just have a plan. >> i don't know, i feel like things have been so warm and so calm and so

mother nature will be, like, in your face! >> we always go from summer straight to winter. it's not happening. >> better not. >> i am not read ed for some snow. we've had measurable snowfall in october and i have the stat down some time in the 1800s so it hasn't been any time recently. 1895! i called the national weather service and i think it was october 10th in the d.c. area. look at that, we have clearing out there from blue patches in the cloud cover and that's only going to increase as we continue through the day. that rain is pushing out of the region right now. it's still hanging out to the south and east and i do believe there could be showers lingering there as we head through the early afternoon, but that's about it and everybody else is getting a little breezy and clearing out. we are going to be quiet as we head through the rest of this workweek, thank goodness. if you are running

going to be wet. watch those leaves that have come down, not only with the rain, but also with the breeze that are on the roadways because it is slick even as we start to dry out, but we will get sunshine and we stay breezy through the evening and i don't see the wins dying down until 9:00 tonight. there are a few lingering showers and look at the clearing in the shenandoah valley and more clearing is coming our way behind this front. that front will continue to push down to the south and east taking the showers with it and we'll start looking good and not looking too much warmer. temperatures will top out in the low to mid-60s today and that is it. we reached the daytime high overnight and we were in the 70s so temperatures have dropped. i go 65 for a daytime high today and breezy, but clearing out there with lingering showers and those showers moving out of here and we start to clear out and we're looking good as we go through your monday and breezy. he've got t

firefighters battling deadly wildfires in california are getting somewhat of a break this morning. the winds are dying down for now. nbc's joe friar is tracking the progress crews are making across the state. >> helped by calmer winds and cooling t

but the toll on first responders has been brutal. >> how long are the shifts that you get to work in here? >> we work 24-hour shifts. >> a week after these fires started they're still burning aggressively and still threatening homes and firefighters are working around the clock to put them out. >> thousands of firefighters are now sleeping in tent cities using makeshift bathrooms, eating when they can. >> after being up all night we'll sleep on the dirt lots and we're grateful for any kind of sleep. we're not complaining. >> reporter: many firefighters cope with losing their own. >> this is my house. this is my home and this is my everything and now i have to figure out where to go from here. >> reporter: most of the deceased are older than 70 like carmen barretts and she was with her husband armando when flames engulfed their home. the childhood sweethearts held each other,rm

but carmen died. >> that was their relationship in everything they did. >> stories of hope. >> izy? >> jack weaver and his brother-in-law patrick widen had returned home to search burmese mountain dog izie. when out of the blue. a miracle. >> izie, come here, baby! >> iz zishgsie was reunited with her owners, frightened, but unhurt. >> i dropped my phone i was so excited. it was a great moment. >> joe friar, nbc news. a major step we want to report in the recovery of tina frost. the young woman from our area critically wounded during the las vegas massakre. she was transported on a medical flight. frost graduated from arundel high school and was working in california as a

she was shot. she took her first steps since the shooting saturday and has a long recovery ahead. now to the tensions with north korea. secretary of state rex tillerson is making a new push for diplomacy despite president trump's tweets telling him not to waste his time. janice mackey frayer reports from beijing. >> secretary of state rex tillerson has said that diplomacy with north korea will continue until the first bomb drops. he made those comments in an interview yesterday as a way of insisting that sanctions and pressure and diplomacy have united world leaders against the regime in a way that's unprecedented, making a diplomatic solution to the north korea crisis possible. mr. tillerson had implied during meetings with chinese officials that the dip the maic channels to young yang were open and there was confusion that followed when president trump tweeted that,

wasting his time on north korea and perhaps the country would even theally have to be totally destroys. it underscores what the big risk is. it remains the risk of miss calculation, that the confusion over rhetoric and mixed messaging could trigger something quite devastating. we add to this the resumption of joint military drills in the region. the u.s. and south korea are starting ten days worth of joint naval drills today. this is all happening in the waters off the korean peninsula and north korea traditionally has perceived these drills as a threat. they see it as a rehearsal for an invasion. there has not been any reaction today from pyongyang, but late last week they did renew the threat to fire missiles toward guam if the joint drills did go ahead. now back to you. >> thank you. are you getting ready for the holidays? believe it or not, some folks are making a list and checking it twice. >> you are

than i am. we'll show you some of the benefits of getting your shopping

earlier jump on christmas shopping. >> 54% of those surveyed, more than half will be starting way before black friday and cyber monday this year. >> the survey sarah is referring to is the one her bosses at retail me not.com conducted that also shows retailers aren't waiting for black friday, either. >> there are certainly going to be sales starting now, middle of october and you're just going to start to see them continuing to roll out and roll out. >> reporter: roll out early enough to give retailers more of a chance to give a chunk of the $1189 the national retail federation says the average shopper will spend this holiday season. the survey seemingly lends credence, though to the opinion by many that black friday really is on the way out. >> but she says black friday is not dead, just more digital. >> i really think the

be across the board throughout the entire week starting on thanksgiving throughout the next week through cyber monday. >> reporter: again this year, thanksgiving comes early. november 23rd, adding a week to the official shopping season that keeps getting longer regardless when the actual holiday is. chris clackum, nbc news. >> don't be thinking about snow because we're talking about holiday shopping. we're not doing that. >> no. it will be a while before we have the snow forecast. this is november. >> and he's coming out with the winter weather -- >> it's really around the corner, though. >> you guys were chasing some cold front, is that the right weather term? yes. >> is that right in the e-mail? i have a picture and i'll show you the cold front. when the cold front moved through, we felt a raindrop today that was a direct correlation from the frontal

made it to right around 80 degrees. they did, actually. we had sunshine along with the southerly wind and it's coming out with breezy wind and that temperature not going to budge too much from where it is right now. we'll stay in the 60s. rain is moving out of here and thank goodness, it is pushing off to the east and we'll keep the chance of showers in through southern maryland and the eastern shore. look at this, we're getting some clearing back up toward the northern portion of i-8 1 up through the mason-dixon line and dry air working behind and we'll start to see the sunshine. today we have rain. much-needed rain and we still need rain across the region and look at this as we get into tuesday, wednesday,ed there, we are bone dry thanks to high pressure. 62 degrees right now in the district. mid-50s out in the shenandoah valley. i do believe we can take the temperature up just a few more degrees a lot of areas will stay where they are and temperatures in the upper 50s

so i do believe we'll get sunshine this afternoon and it will be breezy this afternoon. so the rain rolling right on out of here and we are looking at clearing skies and not only today, but also tonight and we do not have any blankets and cloud cover to help keep those temperatures down, this is what you end up with, 30s and 40s when you wake up tomorrow morning so it is going to be a chilly start out there and we'll make it into the low 60s for tomorrow and it is going to be a beautiful day tomorrow and beautiful all of the way into the weekend and temperatures into the 60s and 70s and we try to make run a what's new from light and fit? greek nonfat yogurt with zero artificial sweeteners. real fruit and 90 calories...
