this is what it looked like on the hudson river, leaves its sink because its engine failed for me while the ship was moving, it had some balance, but when it stopped, it started to lurch. some survivors believe that the greek coast guard vessel that was trying to help them inadvertently homes, and we spoke to one of these witnesses who would show that'd be is not his real name. back to the bible, it covers the cost to got tied to or up to the parts side of the boat. the population side to side is they towed it and when they cut the rop delays to sudden the chalabi said the coast guard tried to cover up the incident of to the toilet capsized. oh no. was it a wonder they started putting ice of out of the water and they would feed to us. you can fly to read into an awesome or to talk. they said, you will know, talk about these events. both witnesses said they were perhaps a 100 women and children below decks. none survived. these 2 witnesses along with of dozens of other survivors, have been deposed by the great coast guard when they arrived on sure. and the testimonies are going to be inc

that is midtown manhattan across the hudson river right now. you can kind of make out the buildings at this point. earlier today, you couldn't see anything. it was so dense and thick with smoke that it was completely white. it also got very dark hours earlier, to the point where the street lights, as bill weir said, turned on here. the authorities in new jersey are recommending that people stay indoors, that they limit their outdoor active 'tis. and here in this part of new jersey, people seem to be heeding that advice. this is a very popular area because of the spectacular river views. on a normal spring day, you would see people here walking around, taking pictures, hanging out at the parks and the plazas. but today, it has been empty here. no one really around, most people are coming by just to take pictures on what it looks like, because it does look like a very eerie movie scene. people who have been working outdoors, we have seen construction workers leave the area, because it's gotten so bad. it's very difficult to breathe. i myself have

we're looking at the hudson river and the george washington bridge.s of thousands people go across the george washington bridge connecting new jersey to new york. i'm one of them. george washington owned slaves. are they going to rename that iconic bridge too? please don't. representative michael walsh is a current colonel in the army national guard. i understand, we haven't talked about this before, you served there too. you know my dad did at fort bragg. i'm going to call it that? do you have to change? >> this is a manufactured issue. this is manufactured by activists by politicians and the by media. i served for 27 years. not once did i hear any of my green berets, anyone complain about it, say they were offended and saying they weren't going to stay in the army because of fort bragg or fort benning. i served with every soldier from every single background, color, creed, religion. they are proud where they serve. saying i was fort bragg soldier. i went through basic training at fort benning. what is a point of pride for every soldier that i know.

he spent his entire career cleaning up the waterways along the hudson river basically standing like an political nest living in washington becoming fabulously wealthy. that's absolutely terrifying for democrats and handmaid of the media you know so well and i don't think they have any way of deal with it. it's interesting when you watch people like jen psaki and jake tapper go after rfk they don't engage him or let him speak. they're terrified of letting him speak. all three can do is call his names and shout at him because if he speaks they lose. >> when jen says this man is a conspiracy theorist. she's saying 20 percent of her party is conspiracy theorists. you're attacking your voters not just the man. but to your point about him not being able to speak, he shared thoughts with fox digital. >> main street says my candidacy is early -- irrelevant and. >> the great fair, all knowing unbiased jake tapper won't have kennedy. why not? >> yeah, because they're terrified of him. they're afraid of what he's talking about, and the thing i love about rfk is he's a true old style liberal that

just look out across the hudson river. that's jersey city, new jersey, out there. can sort of make out the statue of liberty just off the shoreline there, but the concern is about the health and safety of residents here and across the region. new jersey governor phil murphy has put out a warning to individuals who are sensitive and people who have respiratory issues or asthma, heart disease. these are the kind of people that city officials and agencies are worrying about because of the kind of pollutants contained in this wildfire smoke. wildfire smoke has what is known as particularate matter, this is among the tiniest, most dangerous type of pollutant. why? because when you inhale that stuff the particles are so small they can get deep into your lungs, get into your bloodstream and that is why no outdoor activities. ten districts in upstate new york also canceling all outdoor activities and new york city mayor eric adams soon about all of the precautions and a hope to get a sense of how much longer this is going to last. we understand there will be a front pushin

do you see out there, i hope they would say i see possibility as opposed to the tugboat in the hudson river. you have got to see opportunity, where to connect the dots. motricity is curiosity. -- what drives me his curiosity. i spending a lot of time in the venture start of we did not do it it kkr. today, i ambled that up significantly. -- i have built that up significantly. i have five doing with young companies, entrepreneurs. secondly, i am very involved in an organization called sponsors for educational opportunity that is critical. it is helping the underserved community get a good education from night college -- ninth grade through college. i am still very involved it kkr. i am busier today than i have been. i do not have to worry about of the detailed day-to-day. jason: tells of a good job. that sounds like a good job. henry: it is a great job. alix: you have been listening to henry kravis, kkr co-founder at the bloomberg investment conference with jason kelly. you can look at all of the panels from bloomberg invest on your terminals. we will have much more over the next couple of ho

the reality is you can still see the smoke certainly here along the hudson river where we are. it's not just the morning haze. the smoke from 100 wildfires burning in quebec. still having very much an impact here. we have our drone up in the air. should be able to give you a few more shots of what it looks like here along the hudson. but as you mentioned, new york city is among the top five worst polluted cities in the world right now. at one point last night it was number one. now it's second to new delhi in india which is known for having very polluted air. and this air quality index is considered very unhealthy. it's majrl particularly difficult for those with asthma, elderly, young children, pregnant people. these are folks that should take special care and take precautions to stay healthy. this stuff is extremitily tiny and dangerous. it can enter the lungs, enter the bloodstream. kit lead to all sorts of blood problems. that is really the safety issue, top of mind for new york officials. here in new york city, public schools will remain open but all outdoor activities hav

it was much better a few hours ago along the hudson river. e far east side of manhattan. this is the east river behind me. you can see rhode island and the bridge -- roosevelt islands and the bridge there. on the other side is the borough of queens. you can't see it at all, even on the drive over here you could still make out some of the skyscrapers, taller buildings and office buildings on the coastal part of queens. now you can barely see them. i want you to see on this side of the building, walking toward midtown manhattan. we're around 57th street. there is the east side of 57th street to the west side. this is known for having, some call it billionaires row. we've got very, very tall skyscrapers, very tall buildings that you cannot see. all of that wide-open white space back there is something that would be occupied by skyscrapers, by buildings that you just can't see right now because the air quality is just so terrible. this is something that even as of last night officials were warning that it was ten times the particulate matter in th

he turned me into a neil armstrong of the hudson river. he always had a very light attitude. i can't stress enough that everyone seems to be looking for blame and workmanship. this was the most detail oriented man i had ever met in my life. he just loved to have meeting after meeting and briefing after briefing, and he loved checklists. we would work our way down checklists every day and then when the meeting would end, he would give me a book on the history of checklists that he thought was so great. what happened here, i think is just something that happened. we look for blame and i think of people climbing mount everest, when a climber is lost you know, do you blame the rope or the tools, do you blame the -- really the blame just goes to the mountain. >> mike reiss, thank you very much for coming on talking to us. i'm really happy that you made it back up. >> yes, i am too. >>> joining me now, entrepreneur philanthropist and adventurer, an acquaintance of stockton rush, and hammish harding, on an expedition as well. when i was reading about stockton rush, i came across as

cnn's miguel marquez is near the hudson river in new york.l, has the air improved at all in new york since yesterday? >> reporter: it's improved enormously. it is still smoky but not nearly as bad as it was yesterday. i want to show you we're here on the hudson. you can see the statue of liberty there off in the distance. it's probably a couple of miles from us and you can see that haze. that is not fog. that is not mist. that is smoke still in this area. but the smoke and the weather conditions that are causing it are still creating a massive problem for a huge swath of the country, everything from wyoming in the west to louisiana in the south all the way to georgia. just an incredible amount of smoke. a couple of mlb, major league baseball games, were canceled or postponed yesterday. another one today. horse racing at belmont also canceled. as you mentioned, the schools here in new york city canceled. flights have continued to be interrupted. there were some out of philadelphia that were interrupted today because that visibility is just so

airways flight 15 49 which safely landed on the hudson river in new york.e this new information is coming out, including from the faa that they lost contact with this plane just 15 minutes after it took off. what does that tell you? >> well, it's good to be with you. we will find out, probably over a year in the future when the national transportation safety board is completed in their investigation of made public their findings. but this kind of accident, this accident has the remarks of a loss of cabin pressurization as being a likely factor. >> if that is what happened here, there have been questions about hypoxia, and if there was explosive decompression as we were hearing from experts earlier. whether or not have been an indication before hand that something was wrong? >> well, one of the things the investigators will hope to find out, and this aircraft was probably not equipped with a cockpit voice recorder, or digital flight data recorder, it'll be dependent on looking at the physical evidence. it is what did the pilot know? when did the pilot know i

a lot of people doing their usual morning routine, out here along the west side highway on the hudson river going for a run. we saw a sightseeing boat take off a little while ago. in the distance, that is jersey city. you can usually make out the statue of liberty. but again this is serious issue that the new york mayor, eric adams, is going to be talking about in a couple of hours in terms of what we can expect here. we know that schools, public schools here in new york are going to be open, but all outdoor activity has been canceled because of the danger of the smoke. we also saw several school districts in central new york, north of here, so closer to quebec where the fires are burning, canceling. what it comes down to, this air quality index level is unhealthy for sensitive people. so young children, elderly, people who are pregnant, people with respiratory issues or cardiovascular issues. wildfire smoke, like burning fossil fuels and other things, has a lot of tiny dangerous poll pollutants that can get in the lungs and cause major health problems. >> thank you. i think a lot of folks

some of the buildings have the haze taken from the jersey side across the hudson river, let's bring in dr. nicole saphier, board certified radiologist and fox news contributor. doctor, always good to have you with us. you never know what you're going to have to talk about or deal with in this world that we live in. so the orange haze, what is in it and how concerned are you about us breathing it? >> well, martha, i am extremely concerned. i can tell you that wildfires smoke is more hazardous than ambient smoke that we have a normal pollution. carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, but to the very tiny particles from burning they can get into the lungs, get into the bloodstream, and while we are most concerned about our highest risk patients, those with chronic lung disease, adds smile, anyone can feel the effects of this toxic smoke. even healthy people can feel the itching of the eyes, the burning of the throat, shortness of breath, coughing. so i encourage everyone to stay indoors if you can. >> what do you recommend, if you were advising schools coming you just say you can'

i mean, i see him like on the hudson river there massive pieces of machine, right skyscraper on the wateryou, james. yeah. >> all right. 7.19, the time and on. well, in more national news, we have a gas stove debate boiling over in congress this week with republicans saying they want to stop the federal government for banning the use of gastos. however, the biden administration and democrats say we're talking about they have a plan to do that. washing correspondent shot hudson has the story. house republicans say they're cooking up a plan to protect gas stoves. but democrats, though, call it a scare tactic and say there's no real threat to the stoves. >> the white house wants to limit your ability to purchase and use. >> gas stove. >> biden doesn't want to astros. congress isn't going to barge into homes and holler. a your existing gastos. the debate over gas stoves is heating up in congress. house republicans are pushing the gas stove protection and freedom act. indiana republican congresswoman aaron helton says it pushes back against federal regulation. i couldn't think of a more common

about three million gallons of brackish water that got into the tunnels having flooded in from the hudson river. they have -- we were able to obviously remove all of the water. they have left a collection of chlorides and salts that are degrading both the concrete and metal elements of the interior of the tunnel. mr. menendez: it was further diminished by superstorm sandy. how important is the gateway project to ensure future viability of the northeast corridor? mr. gardner: well, it's essential to the future of the northeast corridor, future of rail, transportation for passengers really across the entire east coast. and our connections to the west. so it's essential. as you said, the core element here is to build a new tunnel which allows us to repair and rehabilitate the existing tunnel and gives us redundancy and resiliency into this vital connection. mr. menendez: you're exactly right. we would be strengthening the linchpin of the entire northeast corridor and that's why this project is so important. i thank you for this project so one of the most important if not the most important infrast

prior to that day flrp flight simulations of a dual engine failure followed by ditching in the hudson river by any airline, by any flight school? no. in fact, when that very simulation was run after the miracle on the hudson, even with the flight crews experience and expecting the scenario, they still crashed time after time that simulated emergency. it was pilot and cockpit flying experience that saved the miracle on the hudson. my experience as both a pilot responsible for the lives of my crew and passengers and the most hazardous conditions along with my commitment to my leadership role on the aviation safety subcommittee means that i cannot be complicit in efforts to compromise on safety for the flying public. there has never been a worst time to consider weakening pilot certification requirements to produce less experienced pilots. 2023 has already been a chilling year for our civil aviation system. we've witnessed a disturbing rise of near-deadly close calls that led the federal aviation administration to convene an unprecedented safety summit where the acting administrator warned tha
