i have talked to a few former faa executives and they have expressed concerns that the faa may not getg and attention that it should get in order to continue to make the changes to be put in place at boeing. do you have any concerns of that happening during the trump administration? >> no, i have had good conversations with senator cruz, with this team. i have had good conversations with congressman greg, rick larson on house dni. i think there is a sense in congress, after all, mike whittaker was confirmed unanimously from the votes given there and that was a strong vote of confidence not only in him as a leader but also in the faa. president trump has proven himself to be someone who loves aviation. i expect he wants to see a strong vibrant aviation industry . it is in the u.s. national interest to have a strong boeing that is building quality products and sold around the world. so i think what we will see, my expectation with the incoming administration is the faa will get the level of support it needs. remember phil, you and i have talked about this a lot. there are still a lot of

and here's the statement from the faa. the faa briefly slowed flights and diverted aircraft around the area where space where the space vehicle debris was falling, and that normal operations have resumed. now, the faa says it was able to divert some flights away from this, but also keep incoming flights out of the area concerned. this is exactly why the faa restricts airspace and will slow flights because of a launch and private space flight really makes the skies all the more crowded. they're crowded already with airliners and such, so this is the first time maybe that this has happened, but probably not the last. the faa says it establishes what it calls a debris. response area. when something like this happens. how's that for a little bit of a another misnomer there, john? yeah. >> look, i'm going to file this in all stuff i didn't know until pete muntean just told me all that's really interesting, pete. and for child of the 80s, like me, what it really all looked like was an advertisement for reading rainbow. but that

and of course, the faa is going to be investigating too.o maybe a while before spacex can fly again. >> elon musk a short time ago posted online some video of the debris raining down and added, quote, success is uncertain. entertainment is guaranteed. um, in terms of setbacks, i mean, i guess they anticipate a certain amount of setbacks. is this, i mean, for the company, much of a setback. he later posted that he doesn't foresee this delaying a scheduled launch next month. >> yes. so the excitement guaranteed. that's something that elon musk likes to say before a lot of these launches. and yeah, i mean, excitement did happen. i'm curious to think what a lot of the folks who have been delayed have their flights delayed at, you know, miami or fort lauderdale. the faa reporting that they've had flights delayed about an hour at those airports. so, you know, i don't know if they think that this is excitement that's been guaranteed. but, you know, this is going to be an investigation by the faa. but look, you know, spacex, this is how they advanc

and now the faa wants to know how a drone ended up in there. it was hit by one of the air tankers helping out from canada, a canadair cl 415, better known as the super scooper that has been vital to this air attack. they fly out to the pacific ocean, load up on about 1500 gallons of water, then swoop back in and drop that water on their target fire. this is the exact plane in question known as quebec one. and these are the photos from the los angeles fire department. you can see the hole in the leading edge of the wing there. that is where the drone apparently impacted this plane. the latest update from the los angeles fire department says the plane remains out of service right now. and i want you to listen now to police who say the search is on to find out who was operating that drone in restricted airspace, flying a drone in the fire traffic area is not only dangerous, but it's illegal. >> we do have our federal partners behind the scenes are going to be implementing procedures to be able to follow drones in in our two large fire areas, and t

the faa has grounded spacex's starship after a mid-flight explosion. that rocket broke up during a flight test yesterday. you can see the video here was posted on social media showing debris streaming across the sky. no one was on board, but there are reports of property damage on the caribbean island of turks and caicos. faa says it will not allow spacex to launch starship again until it completes its investigation into that failure. and what caused the incident. the feds say spacex must also take corrective actions to prevent another explosion. the weekend is finally here. we've had sunshine all week and it looks like nothing's going to change. yeah, some fog for the morning and really comfortable temperatures. yes, it's going to be nice to get outside and enjoy it as we head throughout your saturday and sunday forecast. we also have updated looks here at some wind and what we're tracking on that chance for next week. let's take it outside right now. we'll start it off across the bay. if you have any plans for tonight. and it is cold already. numbers
