lucky ford was able to land here. spoke to one man probably saved some lives, jose. do we know how this happened? obviously an engine failure, but any more information on that? reporter: you know, you understand that ford had taken off from santa monica airport not far from here when there were engine problems. folks in the area reported hearing the sound of the engine and sputtering then nothing as the plane began to glide through the air, that s when he crash landed. faa, ntsb are now investigating. but because it was a vintage plane from world war ii era, there s no black box. some aviation experts say this investigation could take longer than usual, maybe up to a year. hallie jackson, thanks for being with me. good to see you. coming up two huge events that will heat up the 2016 race for the white house. the clintons take the stage in miami, and hillary s growing e-mail controversy, and republicans head to iowa for a
