last year, the faa proposed inspection of all higher-use 737 engines.was introduced following a similar southwest incident in 2016 where the fuselage was damaged but not pierced. at the time, southwest and several other airlines asked for more time to complete inspections. >> these are old engines. 40,000 cycles. meaning they've taken off and landed 40,000 types. so they're old. they're getting fatigue the. and apparently they're developing fatigue cracks. and you have to use inspection techniques such as ultrasound to see these cracks. >> reporter: the agency says they're going to take action within two weeks, concerned that other planes are at risk. the faa says at least 220 jet engines will be inspected for signs of fatigue. but that number could be much higher. southwest says, in part, in november of 2017, southwest initiated and implemented an enhancement to our maintenance program to proactively perform ultrasonic inspection of all fan blades during each scheduled fan blade lube. of those recommended inspections last year, it did implement its own

you talked to somebody with the faa for the piece.e you stunned by the lack of information they had? >> because we had given them a huge amount of information going into the interview. they knew what we were going to ask. they knew we were able to identify more than 100 incidents. but they didn't give a response or gave no indication to recognize anything was out of the ordinary for allegiant. >> not even the ceo maurice gallagher responded to cbs's "60 minutes." what do you make of that? >> i wurnt surprised. they tried to block our access to some really critical information so we could compare their performance and safety with other airlines. i thought they would again -- we gave them bullet points on everything we were going to report, and there was not one they responded to. >> and the number of mechanical failures is startling and yet we should note in recent months the incidents have gone down. what do you attribute it to? >> it's hard to tell. one possible explanation is that they've started going down the exact same month that

>> reporter: kristin, the fan blades were already -- they had the attention of the faa. they were talking about getting them inspected. now they are doing something. this is the second engine failure for southwest airlines in two years. the problems? similar in nature. they started an objective to inspect blades after the first failure, and now it's an initial order for airlines. travelers were disappointed to hear it took this long. >> horrible. i don't know much about planes and whatnot, but safety is important to every airline. >> reporter: it's not an easy inspection. aviation expert explained on "good morning america" what it takes to fine tiny cracks. >> they are behind the blades, so fine and thin, you can't see them. you have to get in with an ultrasound, the same technology you look at a baby in utero with. >> reporter: passengers feel some relief knowing the government is forcing inspections. >> well, that would be a good thing, but it's still scary, especially, i mean, flights are always dealing and all sorts of things, and there's not full disclosure most of

until today the faa had not made the inspections mandatory. >>> the number of u.s. citizens grew by more than 2,000 people today thanks to a couple of naturalization ceremonies in oakland. for many, becoming a citizen is a dream come true. >> we usually come here because we want, you know to have a better life floor every person's journey was different, but -- better life. >> reporter: every person's journey was different, but today they shared in a message from president trump. >> this is very, very special. >> reporter: roughly 2,000 people in two ceremonies packed the paramount theater in oakland to become naturalized citizens. this woman owns a travel agency in redwood city. >> i feel very happy to be a citizen of the united states. i'm from mexico and live in california. >> reporter: another woman, also from mexico, is a housekeeper. >> i feel very happy, privileged to be a part of this country with a lot of opportunities that i've been waiting for, and i'm here to be part of this. >> reporter: you have to be a permanent resees dent for five years before -- res

the faa also getting on board with a sense of urgency. >>> president trump speak on a number of global topics while behind the scene expect some explosive details from stormy daniels and karen mcdugle. >> it's hard to see that much water can come from the sky. >> surfer larry hamilton came to the rescue of one family as hawaii is inundated with rain and flooding. >>> and technology making it tougher to determine what's real and what's fake. >>> canines going to extraordinary length to get their men. "early today" starts right now. good to be with you on a thursday morning i'm francis rivera. >> i'm philip mena. could president trump's former attorney cooperate with -- he gave this warning to the president. on a scale of 100-1, where 100 is fully protecting the president, mr. cohen is quote, isn't even a one. another attorney tells politico, prosecutors will threaten cohen with life imprisonment. cohen under investigation for his current business dealings which could include possible fraud and campaign allegations. his home was raided last week although he has not been publicly charged

now the faa says it will issue an air worthiness directive for airlines to conduct ultrasonic tests like this one. they conduct tests in california looking for metal fatigue. >> we're looking for a specific area of test, a very small pinhole or crack down to the size that could be less than a human hair. >> reporter: southwest and other airlines say they've already started inspecting their fan blades. meanwhile, the photos of southwest passengers improperly wearing their oxygen masks, not covering their noses have veteran flight attendants issuing a warning. >> put those cell phones away. listen to the safety briefings and in an emergency, listen to the flight attendant instructions. this is life or death. >> reporter: flight attendants say we should be covering our nose and our mask -- and our mouth, rather, with this mask, and put your mask on before a child's because if the cabin loses pressure, you have seconds before you could lose consciousness and finally, they say forget the selfies, focus on saving your life. lester? >> yeah, i think we'll all be paying closer attention to those

the faa is investigating. >>> the faa is also ordering ultrasound inspections of all airline engines that have the same type of fan blades as the one that broke off on the southwest flight. a passenger died, and seven others were hurt when flying debris smashed through a window on the plane. investigators believe the metal fatigue probably caused the blade to break on the engine. that would have unbalanced the rest of the engine. >> the fan blade components that we can send back to our materials lab in washington, dc, for a very detailed examination -- >> the full investigation into the engine fan problem could take weeks or even months. >>> san jose park rangers are increasingly concerned about their own safety. city leaders are looking at the possibility of issuing guns to rangers while on duty. park rangers said a shrinking police department is forcing them to play a law enforcement role, including patrolling the homeless encampments, but advocates worry it could make the volatile situations even worse. >> there's a way to approach that to where you deescalate the situation. havin

in august the faa went to work to make those directives mandatory. former ntsb chair mark rosenker. >> i think there should have been a more urgent order. >> reporter: airlines will have six to 18 months to do inspections. many have already started. >> it would seem to me after we eads had a fatal accident, you'd think they'd be ready to say something, to modify it from perhaps six months to 90 days. >> reporter: several members of congress have questions too. they have written to the department of transportation as well as the faa. at least one member of congress, eleanor holmes norton is calling for hearings on capitol hill. kris van cleave, cbs news, philadelphia. >>> coming up on the "morning news," fraternity controversy. >>> and paying up, admitted doper lance armstrong settles a fraud case for millions. this is the "cbs morning news." whimper yap yap yap yip is your dog trying to tell you something? licking, scratching, scooting, and rubbing may be signs of allergic itch, a medical condition that may require treatment. that's why there's presc

the latest cancellations for inspections are un-related to the faa's order. and passengers we talked to say.. they still feel safe to fly. .heath jackson/passengerit doesn't really affect the thought process too much because we fly it so often. they don't make them. they maintain them. but we could go and choose somebody else and you could have other problems, with the other with another plane, with another company. louise hauser jackson/passenger i think every time somebody gets on a plane, or even a crew, the people that maintain the plane they make sure that the standards are completely safe, the faa will be asking inspectors to look at things like wear and tear on parts of the engine.. including the fan. (hermela)southwest says it's own separate inspection will be completed in a month.. that might mean more cancellations.r eporting live in san francsico hermela aregawi kron 4 news.
