one of those will certainly be the faa which is entitled to be a party. likely the balloon operator, the company operating the balloon. it might well be the balloon manufacturer. once the ntsb is able to survey the nature of the accident, they can decide whether there might be additional parties to the investigation going forward over the next several days. >> when we talk about the possibility of a hot air balloon catching fire, can you break it down for us? little bit how that could possibly take place and turn into a combustible situation? >> i'd say as your reporter indicated, the way the balloon flies and the faa does, in fact as pointed out, they certificate the pilots and balloon operator. the pilot has to operate consistent with the federal aviation regulations. the way it operates, it's lighter than air. the way the gas, the air inside the balloon becomes lighter than air is it's heated. it's heated through an open flame. i'm sure many of your viewers have seen this on television when they cover the albuquerque balloon festival. there is on open

the faa will be a party to the investigation.on there will likely be representatives from the operator of the balloon. there may be well be a representative of the manufacturer of the balloon and over the course of the next several days they'll be looking at everything from pilot qualifications since the pilot of the balloon had to be certified by the faa and have training and minimum requirements to operate the balloon, to the balloon itself, to the burner unit, to the pre-flight planning. virtually all of the same things that the government and ntsb and if. >>> faa and government would look at. >> all we know is 16 were on board. it has not been confirmed the fate of those 16. you mentioned there will likely be a certified driver or pilot of that balloon and when we hear just initial reports that there may have been a fire and we know just above the basket is usually that flame that assists with the ascension and desengs of the balloon, what are among the circumstances that you would know in cases that you've investigated in wh

we understand the faa also part of it. how do the two work together in this kind of tragedy. >> reporter: well, i can tell you that i just got off the phone with one ntsb official who will be deploying from washington, d.c. at this point they are still working to get more information and probably won't know much more beyond what we know now until they actually get on the ground and their number one priority, both the faa and ntsb when they get on the site there, they're going to want to look at the evidence, take a look at the debris field potentially where this hot air balloon went down. we do know that the ntsb in the past has investigated hot air balloon incidents but this one seems to be on a different magnitude here, a larger magnitude. we're talking about 16 people who lost their lives. once investigators get there, they're going to break off in teams and the focus will be several areas. they'll want to try and find out exactly what caused this crash, what went wrong and that is the primary role of the safety investi

was i going to go with the faa. and he said, i like your questions, you're hired. i was with the faa, had a great time with them. for 40 years. then ntsb stole me over and i became an investigator for the rest of my tenure until i retired in '84. i've done over 450 accidents. whether it's large or small. >> that must be a challenge. >> it was a great challenge, yes. >> every injury and every accident investigation was different. >> absolutely. i'm sure it was a learning experience, too. to see all the different considerations, safety considerations, and things to watch out for. >> that's correct. you hit on a very good word "safety." because most of the accidents, there has been a safety problem with that accident. either by pilot not taking heed or maybe the mechanic or maybe the aircraft itself. i wanted to take my wally funk safety slide presentation around the world, in the united states. to universities and colleges, and show them why people crash into mountains on a clear day. it's incredible. i mean -- in the

faa officials state "based on media reports, the faa believes the respondents have built and/or operatedast two unmanned aircraft systems, carrying weapons with the capability of causing serious injury to a person or property. the materials sought regarding their use, therefore, is relevant to the investigation. in federal court today, their attorney argued the faa definition of an aircraft is too broad, because it doesn't distinguish between a paper airplane or a drone. by trying to investigate a drone on private property, lawyers argue the faa is overstepping its constitutional authority. >> because it gets them into our backyards and lets them regulate toys. there's no purpose. it's just a child growing up that does things. he's built remote control toys, electric scooters. >> reporter: this is the first federal case challenging the authority of the faa to regulate recreational drones. and the decision could set a precedent nationwide. >>> hillary clinton off the hook. the attorney general general says she does accept the fbi's recommendation not to press charges. our panel weighs in,

faa officials have told us there were 16 people on board that hot air balloon that have died. this is a significant crash, obviously a horrific crash and demands the investigation that it will get here apparently will take some time for those ntsb investigators to get fully on ground to begin piecing everything together. not a lot of answers as to whether or not it was weather that play a factor, were there power lines that might have contributed to all of this. all of those questions being asked and will be examined at some point here. all of that going on right now this is about a 35 minute drive southeast of austin, texas. >> and we did hear from the official who did confirm that it appears that balloon came out of -- sort of a tour group sort of organization, one that rents out to a number of individuals. i tried to get on their website and it's not up and running right now. but you mentioned earlier, this isn't out of the ordinary that there would be hot air balloon rides and that would be a main attraction to this area. >> yeah, that whole area used to live in austin, be

faa officials argue anything that lifts off the ground is their jurisdiction.rts the faa believes the respondent that the dinner operated at least two ua apps for unmanned aircraft systems carrying weapons with the capability of causing serious injury to person or property. the material sought regarding the use therefore is relevant to the case investigation. in federal court, the attorney argued the faa's definition of an arab draft is too broad because it doesn't distinguish between a paper airplane or a drone. by trying to investigate private property come the lawyers argued the faa sobers up in its constitutional authority. >> a good event to our backyards. and let them regulate. there is no particular purpose. it is a child growing up that does things. he's built remote control toys, electric scooters. >> this is the first federal case challenging the power to regulate recreational drugs and the decision by the judge next week could set a precedent nationwide. lauren, nicole. nicole: thank you very much. lauren: another shocker as they sign the chicago bul

in fact in 2014, the ntsb asked the faa to implement tougher safety policies. and greater oversight of these commercial operators. but at the time, the faa rejected the regulations saying that they were unnecessary because the risks were low. so it is not clear now about if the faa will reexamine those recommendations in the wake of this deadly accident. >> all right, casey, just so tragic. thank you. >>> and also in texas, police are looking for a suspect about who killed one person and injured four others in a shooting in downtown austin.abo who killed one person and injured four others in a shooting in downtown austin. fir officials received a report of shots being fired in the area of 6th street early this morning. one woman pronounced dead at the scene. three of the injured are now hospitalized and police say the suspect started firing into the crowd after some kind of initial disturbance. >>> and we're also learning new details about the shooting at a house party in washington state that has left three people dead and one wounded. it happened yesterday mo
