national transportation safety board leading the investigation, expected to have its preliminary investigation completed in 30 days. the board is also helping victims families by providing counseling and hotel accommodations. not a lot of attention now on the role of air traffic controllers and the staffing levels the night of that crash. today, nbc's lester holt spoke with president of the union that represents america's air traffic controllers about the challenges that they're facing. we want to make sure that everyone understands we are at the all time low in staffing. we do need a reform in budgeting in order to modernize the system, and we do want to recruit the best and brightest. as long as you know, the president of the united states said, we want to work with them. and that's going to include needing to engage in talking about pay benefits and the stresses that this job brings. so could this be a wake up call to some extent? absolutely. i think any chance that we have to talk about the fragility of the air traffic system and the ways to improve it, we should be out doing that now. you

earlier friday, the national transportation safety board talked about the search and recovery efforts regarding wednesday's helicopter and jet collision and todd inman and the black box. this is about 20 minutes. this is an investigation in regard to the c.r.j accident. and let me start as usual, our hearts go out to the families of the victims. our job is to come out with the probable cause and more importantly make recommendations so that this type of tragedy never occurs again. today, i know yesterday, you saw the chairman and myself and all the board members here. i just want to let you know they are actively involved in this and we are dividing and conquering and we had multiple conversations today and making sure we have the information we need and working to help our people. i would like to start thanking the first responders. when this first happened, a unified command was set up and we had a lot of important people that came and worpgd with us. fairfax fire and rescue and department, arlington county emergency management and arlington police, alexandria city fire and virginia

. >> the national transportation safety board talked about the ongoing search and recovery efforts following wednesday's helicopter and jet collision. and todd inman confirmed the recovery of flight recorders and a black box. this is about 20 minutes. and i apologize we had to move this back. they are one of our primary's concerns. and they are having a hard time obviously. we want to do everything we can to make sure they get the most accurate information and factual information and that's always been at the core of the mission. air job -- our job is to come out with probable cause and make recommendations so that this type of tragedy never occurs again. and i know yesterday you saw the chairman and all the board members here and i want to let you know they are still actively involved. in the chairman and i have had multiple conversations today and she's helped out a lot making sure we are getting the investigative needs we have an she is working with some of our people. i would like to start by thanking the first responders. when this happened, a unified command was set up and we had a lot

resources, i will say president trump has been very, very supportive of the national transportation safety boarde president this week and he has indicated his strong support for the ntsb which we appreciate and we appreciate the resources we've been given, and certainly in our budget request we will always hope for more. we'll see what comes. i understand you're still looking for the — understand you're still looking for the cockpit voice recorder. yeah, — for the cockpit voice recorder. yeah, so _ for the cockpit voice recorder. yeah, so the question is on the cockpit voice recorder. the question is how crucial it is, what oui’ at our headquarters, our office research and engineering, of research and engineering, who have significant expertise repairing damaged cockpit on repairing damaged cockpit voice recorders and flight = -: in fact we 7 in fact we are known recorders, in fact we are known throughout world, other throgghout the world. other send their black countries send their black boxes to us to fix and so hopefully once we it, hopefully once we can find it, that's the biggest question t

the national transportation safety board is leading the investigation into what happened and they will be providing updates later this afternoon and will not be talking about the investigation in this conference. terry from the meto airports authority will provide an update and i will update on our activity over the next operational period. >> the aret is open and operating and recovery site. we have two of the three runways that are closed. we want to encourage passengers to reach out to their airlines for any potential flight delays. typically, a full schedule at national airport is about 800 flights a day using these runways, we have had several cancellations yesterday. airlines are resuming as much as possible. i think we have about 100 flights or so canceled today. i want to recognize a lot of the airport teams who worked behind the scenes and we are here to support and coordinate with the recovery efforts and working with ntsb in their investigation. with that, i'll turn it over. thank you. >> so, overnight, our teams continued search operations and surface working and sonar scan

i am joined by the former national transportation safety board investigator. joining us. the ntsb is just beginning its investigation. how long you think it will be before we can know for sure just what happened here? >> one correction, they have already began their investigation within hours after the accident. they just have not worked on seeing. they have been in the control tower gathering radar tapes and information from all of the areas around the accident. they just have not had access to the accident site yet. when they get to the accident site and the airplane comes out of the water and the victims have been recovered, they will go in there and look for physical evidence. they will check out the airplane and the helicopter, looking at all the systems that they can. they have the data recorder and the voice recorder. they will be checking. one of the questions you just raised moments ago is the altitude of the helicopter. i am sure they will pull the altimeter system out of the helicopter, testing instruments, and examine it for the system. to make sur

. >> according to the national transportation safety board. the collision occurred at about 325ft. >> they were too high. >> that difference in altitude is exactly why there was a collision. so the question we have to ask ourselves is why was that helicopter above the ceiling for that corridor. >> about 125ft above the ceiling and off course from its approved route by at least half a mile, according to the defense department, the crew of three on the black hawk were conducting a training mission. it's not yet known if the pilots were wearing night vision goggles at the time of the collision. >> if they had night vision goggles on, there's only 70 degrees that you can see out of those goggles. you can't see left and right. you can't see 180. there's no peripheral vision with those goggles at all. and the other thing is that the lights are much brighter and they're toned down by the goggles to make sure that they don't blind the person that's wearing them. >> the blackhawk helicopter was flying under visual flight rules, as all helicopters do in

and i suspect this one is going to give the national transportation safety board, the investigators, uh, some difficulty, because if there's no recorders, um, they don't have much information to go on. if there's no black boxes on this plane. and as a private plane, it doesn't have to have them. >> yeah. i want to get to the investigation in a second, but just on on something you said. i mean, obviously we don't know what caused this, but this is a term i've been hearing a couple of times tonight, a weight balance stall. um, explain what that is and how something like that could impact a plane like this, because it's something that you've you've seen before and investigated. yes. >> yes. you know, aircraft literally have to be balanced very carefully, both horizontally and laterally. and that means they have to be balanced wingtip to wingtip and nose to tail. and every plane has something and it's calculated per aircraft. um, everything has every plane has a center of gravity. and you have to carefully put your loads on the plane. and this is especially true on some aircraft models a

any moment now, we are expecting a press conference from the national transportation safety board about the mid-air crash in washington, dc on wednesday. investigators are expected to share new information recovered from the passenger jets and helicopters flight recorders. the crash between an american eagle flight and a black hawk helicopter killed 67 people, making it the worst aviation disaster in more than two decades. officials have recovered 42 sets of remains. the dc medical examiner has been able to identify 38 of them. we will bring you that ntsb press conference to you live when it happens. we also have breaking news on trump's long threatened tariffs against mexico, canada and china. less than an hour ago, trump signed executive orders imposing 25% tariffs on mexico and canada and a 10% tariff on china. trump's orders include a clause signaling the u.s. may raise taxes on imports. further, if any of these countries retaliate. we expect responses soon from canada and mexico. but first, let's turn to the latest on the dc plane crash. joining me now, nbc news aaron gilchrist, wh

away from that, on the other hand, by being in the administration, whether the national highways safety boards, he gets to barrel forward. stock, which is what it is, it is stock that will involve ai, robotics and self—driving cars. but can the richest man in the world avoid such big to heading up doj and being in charge of cutting government no, i don't think that, if you had to list the trades he is going to push limits, he is going to break limits, and it is going to cause some problems, but it is we had been a nation of risk—takers and we became nations with more referees than risk takers, more builders than risk—takers and maybe it will be interesting, i think he will go too far, he thinks he will go too far because he always says, if you haven't gone too far tried hard enough. so it's going to reverse this notion of we have a whole lot occurring down the line, and what kind of issues do you think they may clash over or personality traits that may lead to that? work for somebody. so musk is not going to be just a puppet for donald trump, it is going to last about a year because and they

and we are monitoring the latest from washington, d.c, where the national transportation safety boardbe holding a news conference at the top of the hour for the latest on the mid-air collision between a blackhawk helicopter and a passenger jet on wednesday that left 67 people dead. we will bring you that when it happens. also new tonight. the ami this evening has identified captain rebecca labash of durham, north carolina, as the third officer on the helicopter who died in the incident. we'll be right back. >> safelite repair. >> perfecting your swing is hard. >> nice shot. bad. oh, safelite replace. >> but replacing your windshield. >> doesn't have to be. go to safelite. com and we can come to you. >> sick. >> our highly trained techs can replace your windshield where you are, even if that's right in your driveway. have a good day. >> i love you. safelite makes it easy. go to safelite. >> com and schedule a replacement today. >> it's like repair safelite replace. >> woo! want the fastest working glp one for half the price. ro now offers fda approved weight loss injections. cheaper wi

. >> the national transportation safety board says barges will assist in the salvage operation. authorities have recovered the so-called black box from the military helicopter that collided with the passenger plane on wednesday night. 67 people died in the disaster. initial flight tracking data appears to show the black hawk helicopter flying about 100ft above its allowed altitude and veering off the prescribed route. investigators now have all the black boxes of both aircraft involved. the passenger plane's cockpit voice recorder was found to have water intrusion, which federal officials say isn't uncommon. more now on today's hostage release in gaza and the cease fire agreement between israel and hamas. hamas released three hostages today as part of the agreement. you can see them there in the video. israel is also releasing 183 palestinian prisoners today. all right. i want to bring in julie norman, who is an associate professor at university college london. she joins us live now. thank you so much for being here with us again. so the fourth hostage release now, next week, ha

meantime the national transportation safety board is conducting its investigation into the crash and it's going to be a lengthy process. within the past couple hours, the ntsb said they did recover the black box from the black hawk helicopter. now that they have that device as well as the two black boxes from american airlines flight 5342, they're hoping to extract data from them to provide clues into the cause of that crash. today the ntsb said they'll work to make changes to avoid another disaster like this, but not until they finish that investigation. >> our job is to find the facts, but more importantly, our job is to make sure this tragedy doesn't happen again regardless of what anyone may be saying. our investigators never want to see this happen again and i never want to have to go back and brief another set of family like that. >> the ntsb says it will look at things like staffing, mechanics, and environment during that lengthy investigation. we're using our virtual studio this afternoon to take a look at the potomac river where you can see the crash happened, the flight pat

he's a former investigator for the national transportation safety board. what happened at reagan national earlier in the week. this is a small plane. sadly, there are more instances of small plane crashes, but i don't know if you've seen the video. alan, that plane came right down out of the sky. that was not an attempted landing that that that was a full loss of control. >> absolutely. ali. the learjet is a difficult plane to fly. it almost reminded me of the jenni rivera lear crash where it went straight in. it was in cruise, not right after takeoff, but this crew, obviously this this flight crew. >> and there's always. >> two pilots on. these lear jets by law. and you probably know it's a mexican registered aircraft. i don't know how the maintenance is surveilled down there. but anyway, the jet looked like it might have been on fire before it hit, but it was obviously out of control. that 65. degree nose down angle suggests a total lack of control. >> and, you know, one of the things we brought up on wednesday with the dca crash is when a pilot is when

say, air traffic controllers and faa staff and people who work for the national transportation safety board, that went out wednesday morning. that night, wednesday night is when there was a mid-air collision plane crash over the potomac river in washington, dc, killing 67 people. absolutely horrific tragedy the day after that thursday, with rescue and recovery operations underway in the river, it finally occurred to the white house that maybe they should name someone to be the acting head of the faa. maybe there should be somebody in charge of aviation safety in america. there had been an faa chief who was right in the middle of his term, but he had been threatened by trump's top donor, elon musk. musk had demanded the resignation of the head of the faa, and so the head of the faa resigned on inauguration day. and the trump administration had not gotten around to replacing him. it was not until a press conference about the plane crash that the president announced that he had decided to get around to naming an acting director of the faa. still, though, that same day, after the plane crash, t

and now the national transportation safety board is investigating. according to the faa, those investigators have had a particularly tough week. there have been about 40 of them on site here at reagan national airport and out in the dark, cold potomac river, looking at the wreckage from american airlines flight 5342 and that u.s. army black hawk helicopter, the human toll is on them as well. and of course, they will very likely be launching to another investigation in less than three days time. >> you talked about a possible mexican registration of this aircraft, and that it may be linked to a company that that that talk about what you know about where this plane may have come from. >> the open source data shows that this plane carries a tail number prefix of x, a x ray alpha. that means it's from mexico. it's not the typical n november registration that you see on airplanes that originate and are registered in the united states. i've not had a chance to dig into the registry data for this airplane. of course, an airplane like this would typically be

the national transportation safety board was able to get new radar data, which shows what was on the displays in the control tower here at reagan national airport. and the ntsb now says that black hawk helicopter was at 300ft, according to the radar displays in the tower. remember, that is above the 200 foot altitude restriction for the helicopter route that goes through the airspace just off the final approach paths here at reagan national airport. not a smoking gun, but another key piece of data as this investigation is in its infancy. the salvage operation is moving along here at a good clip. the floating crane still in the potomac river behind me today. they were able to recover a large portion of the tail section of american airlines flight 5342. also, more pieces of the fuselage. investigators say they just said that they've recovered most of the wings. and a significant portion of the cockpit. all of those will be key to the layout that they will do. of the parts in one of the hangars here at reagan national airport. what we were really waiting on today is new data from the bl

just a day before the deadly midair collision in dc 400 staffers at the national transportation safety board received an email offering a month's pay if they resigns while the union, 4 air traffic controllers advised its members not to accept. the ntsb told employees they are not eligible for the program and there's no evidence that effort to downsize play a role. the collision. gears to weather now we're taking a live look at coit. how are looking nice there. kron four's meteorologist gayle ong is here with more on the wet weather expected. have more showers expected tomorrow, mainly tracking to the north bay. but >> you could run into some rain as well and some wind and we are in winter once again after a dry january right? so here's a live look over at sfo could see some slick roads out there, but and no delays at last check. and look at this moisture plume. so all this tracking from the hawaiian islands, there are some serious flooding there yesterday. and now that hose known as that atmospheric river or pineapple express is aiming towards northern california, expected to bring us some r

the national transportation safety board said different readings came from data from the passenger jet'st recorder and data from the control tower. investigators say it could still be months before they have final answers about what happened. today, family members and loved ones of the 67 people killed in wednesday night's crash visited the scene. a short time later first responders said the bodies of 12 of the victims remain in the water but they are committed to giving the families closure. >> they're just all hurt and they still want answers and we want to give them answers. it's horrible. no one should have to suffer through this. so, yeah, it is hard on them. they have a lot of questions, they have not been through this. john: tomorrow the army corps of engineers plans to begin the process of lifting large pieces of the american airlines plane out of the river -- a step officials say is needed before the last remaining bodies can be recovered. billionaire and trump advisor elon musk and his team of government efficiency workers have had a busy weekend. pbs news learned members of hi

and america, through the faa and the national transportation safety board, is the gold standard. the last fatal commercial aviation crash in the united states was in 2009, 16 years ago. we haven't had one since, and that's because of what we learned from that crash and the changes that were implemented in its wake. 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 war

. >> right now the federal aviation administration and national transportation safety board are investigating the crash. >>> it comes just a couple days after the deadly midair plane crash in d.c. the ntsb now says investigators have recovered the black box from the army black hawk helicopter. they're now reviewing the flight recorder as well as the two recovered from the american airlines jet that collided with the chopper as it was coming in for landing. meanwhile navy barges are on the way to assist with retrieving the plane's fuselage. in our studio we can give you a much better picture what happened the night of the collision. runway 1 was the original flight path, the yellow line, for the american airlines jet. it was switched by air traffic control to runway 33, the red line you see. the pilot confirmed and made the change. minutes later as the plane was making its approach it then collided with the black hawk helicopter, both plummeting into the potomac river, killing 67 people. since then this stretch has now been closed off to all helicopter traffic. cbs news sat down with gary o'ha

. >> i want to see an investigation from the federal government, from the chemical safety board. workers were hurt. that means it meets the threshold for the federal government to come in and figure out what happened. we need answers and ultimately, i want to see the refinery shut down in the long term. >> reporter: mrc says they will investigate the incident in accordance with county regulations. right now operations are shut down except for required utility systems. >> thank you. >>> a vallejo school is set to reopen tomorrow after being closed more than a week. a copper theft two weekends ago left the solano widenmann leadership academy without electricity. district officials now say power should be restored by tomorrow with additional security measures in place and more than $200,000 of repairs. the more than 600 students were sent to six other schools to attend classes in the meantime. >>> we'll show you how rescue crews saved half a dozen people from floodwaters in shasta county. >>> plus, we'll introduce you to the researchers chasing this atmospheric river and how they're

the national transportation safety board says it is gathering more information. of course, they'll be investigating the cause too soon for that. but stay tuned. i'll have another report coming up in 30 minutes. back to you. >> so sad. yeah, especially given what happened in washington this obviously. people are are shaken as we come back here to the bay. we have to talk about our top story tonight, which is the rain that has started and there is a ton more to come. yeah, not just any rain but atmospheric river. and you know what that means, goodness. yeah. i mean, you get a lot of rain a short amount of time. flooding becomes a concern in the forest. >> it's going to mean a lot of snow in the high country and we could certainly use that. remember, we had a lot of snow in the first part of the season. then it just kind of gave up a bit in january. and now we're getting back this is look from diamond peak. a live shot for you right now. make sure some rain and some snow down the lake level. that snow level. it's going much higher. you've got that some tropical mois
