Cockpit on his own, telling the Flight Attendants, you need to cuff me right now or its going to be bad. One passenger took these photos. Emerson appeared in court this afternoon to face 83 counts of attempted murder and endangering an aircraft in the first degree. Good afternoon, your honor. For mr. Emerson, he is truly named. Weve received two copies of the district attorneys information. We would waive further reading and advice of Rights Reserve all rights, read into the record this morning. Enter a not guilty plea on all counts. I will not be addressing in those federal Court Documents, emerson told police he thought he was having a nervous breakdown on the flight and that he hadnt slept in 40 hours. Now, he also discussed taking psychedelic mushrooms, though the time frame and whether he had taken them right before the flight was not clear. In the Court Documents. But abc news is reporting tonight that he took the mushrooms is just 48 hours before that flight. So clearly, they may have played a role in what happened or he could have been claiming that they played a role in what happened. Now, one other note. Once emerson got cuffed into a seat in the back of the airplane, he tried to open an emergency door door, but a Flight Attendant stopped him. Ill have more on the Court Documents and more from court coming up on abc7 news at five. All right, dan, before you go, i wonder how did emerson look to you in court . We saw him grimacing a little bit in that video and we know hes been suffering or he says hes been suffering from depression. Right. You know, as he walked in, clearly he seemed tense, which you might expect. And. Right before his lawyer talked, you could see that he was caught someones eye in the audience and started to kind of mouth a message to them. And he was close to tears at that point. So clearly be an emotional time for him. His life as a pilot is over. So he has a long road ahead in the legal system. All right, dan, thank you so much. To get in touch with dan and the iteam, you can call this number on your screen, 1888 40 iteam or go to abc7, news. Com slash iteam. California is hitting the brakes on cruise. The decision by the bmv today came shortly after a protest began outside the robotaxi makers headquarters in San Francisco. Abc7 News Reporter ryan curry has a look at what effect the decision will have on the Autonomous Car company. Cruise cars sit behind the companys gates in San Francisco. If any of them leave this lot, they need someone behind the wheel. The dmv says their selfdriving cars are too dangerous. We have seen several times where cruise cars stall on the street and blocked traffic. Earlier this month, a woman was trapped under a cruise av after being hit by another car. Experts think this could have ripple effects for the whole industry. Were still at a point where, you know, one incident reflects on every Automated Vehicle developer or so. So in some way, this probably does hinder the whole industry. Cruise was the first av company allowed to give rides to people without a driver. The citys Transportation Committee spoke about avs tuesday. Supervisor peskin says crews needs to be more transparent when sharing data in their cars are doing, you know, charging a pedestrian or going through an intersection with a red light. They need to make all of that data transparent and if they do that, we can actually see whether or not their software is evolving and becoming safer. Mayor london breed wants to see cruise operate in San Francisco, but she wants to see it done safely. They can spend some time working on improving their Safety Measures because we want to welcome this technology, but we want to do so responsibly and safely. The federal government doesnt really have unified laws when it comes to selfdriving cars. Therefore, it is up to the states. In california, the dmv is the ultimate Decision Maker right now. In a statement, cruise said, we learned today at 10 30 a. M. Pt of the california dmv suspension of our driverless permits. As a result, we will be pausing operations of our driverless avs in San Francisco. Av experts say if cruise doesnt solve this fast, their future is in doubt. All of their plans kind of suddenly get called into question where and when. Maybe theyve, you know, tried to run too fast before they could walk in the city where theyre theyre really operating. You know, in a major way right now. And the dmv says it will not allow cruise to use their selfdriving cars until inspectors deem them safe. In San Francisco, ryan curry, abc7 news. Abc7 news is doing a deep dive into selfdriving vehicles in a new docu series. As part of the series. We talked with a witness to that incident in San Francisco in our exclusive interview he described what he saw there. I stop about right here. The green honda was about right here. And when i step out of the vehicle, i put my emergency pocket lock on before i ask her to visit. I stood down, you know , and i started asking, finding out whether or not the person. Hello . Hello . Are you okay . Okay then the person stopped moaning. Did you see theres still blood here. The person stopped moaning and then i raised up and i started yelling. Anybody call the police . Anybody call the police. Three people said, no, no, no. Immediately i put out my phone and i dialed 911. Whats still the person . And explain to them we had market and post street and theres a body underneath accruals called that been run over by the cruise and the person is alive.

Karina, kristen, i mean, you have a Season Opener thats always fun, but theres going to be some extra juice, some extra energy in the building tonight as kevin durant returns as a member of the phenix suns. Katie, of course, the former Golden State Warrior and help the dubs to win champion ships. He came in 27, 2018, and 19 got hurt. Otherwise they probably would have had three championships.

And then once i became a part of the warriors, they just went even harder to in support of me, myself and my teammates and then to win a championship. You just immortalized there. I anticipate our fans giving kevin the love that he deserves to championship. And you know, trying to help us win a third and literally giving his body to the cause and you know, he was he was incredible here. And uh will go down as one of the great players in franchise history. Now, if you remember, durant was part of the groundbreaking when they began building chase center. This will be his first time in the building playing in front of fans. Of course, there was a one game that he played here during the pandemic and nobody was allowed in the building. So its going to be fun to see. Kd probably not as much fun to guard him because the warriors are going to be about Draymond Green tonight as he recovers from a sprained ankle. But again, theres going to be a lot of energy in the building tonight and the warriors debut of chris paul facing his old team, the sun. So the storylines galore and well have them for you at five and at six. A lot of drama i feel like going to be happening tonight. I know. I think thats going to give the warriors and the fans an extra boost, dont you think . The durant drama, like just the extra juice like, oh, theres going to be juice. In fact, theres going to be a tribute video for kd before the game. And again, as i said in the beginning, theres probably going to be a huge ovation and he deserves it. I mean, you know, two championships and he gave up his achilles for the franchise. So, you know, we should we should all be applauding kd tonight for sure. But also extra incentive to win too.
