after the colgan air crash in 2009, there were major changes in the aviation industry. >> this was aght flying into buffalo. the crew had been working a very long day. they had been fatigued. they got indications that they were entering what's called an aerodynamic stall. and they responded improperly. initially and essentially mushed into the ground. that was a sea change accident. that was a harbinger for incredible change in aviation, and left an indelible mark on hiring and a huge mark on training and changed the requirements for experience for new airline pilots. >> more safety regulations have led to fewer crashes, according to the national transportation safety board, there have been 15 major plane crashes in the u.s. since 1982, including last week's tragedy. >> the ntsb, throughout its history, has has looked at aviation accidents and attempted to find the problems that that led to it and make safety recommendations, leading to changes in the way airplanes are designed, the way flight crews are trained, the way air traffic control does its job. there is no finish line for sa

san lorenzo river, alameda creek, green valley creek, also colgan creek and mark west creek. i just take it slow. be careful. okay. forecast here as we roll through tonight shows a lot of this. rainfall is now moving off towards the east. but we still have some of these heavier rounds of rain from morgan hill into san martin and down towards gilroy. that is certainly going to stay with us through the next 30 to 45 minutes. in fact, we'll keep these chances of scattered on and off rain through 1130. but as we head through tomorrow morning for that friday morning forecast getting us closer to that weekend, we'll start it off here with a mix of some sun, some clouds that will be nice and only a slight chance for some spotty showers. and check out the afternoon. more of that sunshine coming your way so it's going to feel like a friday. we've had a lot going on this week, so it'll be good to get in on some better weather. we'll start it off here with temperatures in the 40s throughout the bay area. so chilly, 42 in the east bay, 40 for san francisco and 40 in the north bay. daytim

also washington colgan creek, the receding, but still holding above flood stage at this time expected move below flood stage about 3 o'clock in the morning. that's when that warning does expire. now, we are hoping to keep things a little quieter now. it has been just torrential in southern california as well. they've been hit by very heavy rainfall. watch that storm system go by that one right there. that one actually producing a tornado there to yesterday as we've just a wide range of weather across the state. this was not just in northern california thing. this was all of california storm. so they got the thunderstorms there. they had a tornado touchdown doing some damage there. many homes losing the roofs and that tornado that possibly rolled through there yesterday afternoon. they're still doing research on that. they want to determine whether they had actual rotation there. then the left just know for sure if it was a tornado. but that was not the only thing they had mudslides. you've got all those burn scar areas. you get the malibu flash floods. there, causing all kinds of trou

colgan air, then a feeder for continental airlines flight 3407, took off from newark liberty airport in new jersey and crashed just outside of buffalo. there was light snow, fog and sleet. at the time, 50 people died, everyone on the plane and one person in the home that the plane crashed into. the families of the victims demanded answers and reform, and they got it. exactly one year after the crash, the ntsb released its final report, which came to 46 specific conclusions. 46 that's how thorough the investigation was. that's how thorough they always are, because the experts at the ntsb don't have hot takes. they just do the work. the conclusions they arrived at included the fact that both pilots lacked experience with icing conditions. they possibly misread safety warnings, and they were both exhausted and fatigued. the first officer had flown to the departing airport in new jersey from her parents home in seattle the night before. she made that commute on a cargo plane and rode in the jump seat, which is typically an auxiliary folding seat not sufficiently comfortable for resting.

so along with its normal stall recovery or prevention, if you go through the stall, think of the colgan up in buffalo. there is a stick pusher, and that stick pusher is a violent maneuver. so if that trim is out of trim, totally up against the stops and it's a nose up, trim that aircraft on takeoff. this flight control warning would be one of the things that would happen to it within 30s. okay. it it's a it's a surprising bit on flight control. and just as i said as i was looking through it, this came out on me. >> all right, jp, fascinating insights as always. thank you for being with us. sir kevin. >> all right jonathan, quick time out here as we continue our breaking news coverage of the devastating air crash in philadelphia. six people on board are presumed to have perished. the pictures are incredible. we'll continue with that and much more after a quick time out. >> hi. i use febreze fade defy plug. >> and i use this. >> febreze has a microchip to control scent release so it smells first. stay fresh for 50 days. >> 50 days. >> and it's refill. reminder light means i'll never miss

and before wednesday, there was not a major commercial crash in the united states since the colgan air crash of 2009, which left an indelible mark on aviation. the sad reality is crashes involving general aviation airplanes, small airplanes, business jets are much more common, although they rarely do happen in heavily populated, densely populated areas. >> pete, pete, you have a lot of new information here. um, can you just i want to emphasize something here, as the story is, is ongoing. we had initially been told it was a single engine plane. so you're now talking about a lear business jet. >> developing by the minute. >> that's a, that's a that's a dual engine jet. it's a jet. that's more fuel. um, that's a serious jet. it can go a long distance. right? i mean, that also could change how many people we don't know how many people, obviously, a business jet that would limit your number of people on board. we're not talking commercial, but it just shows that even what we've learned here in the past few minutes has changed the trajectory of the story a bit. >> no doubt. i'm just going to

likely investigation that they have undone, that they have undertaken since 2009 when we had the colgan air crash. that's the last fatal commercial airliner crash in the u.s. the ntsb has always been under financial pressure. of course, this just shows congress that they need the money to make sure that they are able to go at a moment's notice. it is a sad and sobering reminder that the hanger that the ntsb launches from there, when they launch a go team to something like this is barely a quarter mile away from where i am hangar six here at reagan national airport. and it's really in the backyard of one incident and in the backyard of the national transportation safety board. we never thought we'd be covering an accident. right. and our hometown of not only the people who cover this beat, but the people who investigate these huge incidents. >> yeah, pete muntean. just a sad note, but but please keep us updated this hour as you're learning more about what's happening in philadelphia. we're also going to check in in washington in a bit as well. right now. joining me is the former philadel
