Passengers describe a midflight emergency onboard a bay areabound flight. New details on the offduty bay area pilot facing attempted murder charges in court this morning. Two more hostages released in gaza. All new this morning, we hear from one of them about her terrifying experience. Plus, putting a stop to a problem plaguing oakland. The new plan to curb the spike in car burglaries. This is today in the bay. Good tuesday morning. Im marcus washington. Im laura garcia. Well check the morning commute with mike and see if things are picking up. What about the temperatures . Lets check in with kari and see what we should wear. Its going to be cool to start but then warm up and be a comfortable afternoon. We have a range in temperatures that will change as we go from morning to day. Walnut creek starts out at 53 degrees. Youll want a jacket for at least the next few hours. Then once that sun comes out, temperatures start to warm up and well be in the upper 60s throughout much of the morning, headed for the mid to upper 70s. Here is a look at our highs, reaching 71 in San Francisco, 73 in oakland and 78 in martinez. Morgan hill today up to 80 degrees, and 77 in novato. Then for tomorrow, temperatures take a tumble and its going to feel like fall, especially in the Early Morning hours as we get more clouds and a few of us will get some rain. It looks like mainly the north bay will have the best chance. Then we continue with cool weather for the rest of the week with 60s in the forecast. Thats for our afternoon highs. Ill talk about the mornings and how cool it gets coming up. Mike, youre starting with a backup out of oakland. Were talking about the bay bridge, but i want to give folks reference. Smooth moving hov lanes and visible moment. We had an early stoppage for most of these lanes and now it looks like theyve sped up the metering lights. Travel across the span is much more smooth as well. Upper eastshore freeway, highway 37 and 4, all typical recovery. Here, 242 southbound, the earlier crash has moved everything to the center divide. Its a distraction but not a problem. We are looking at this corner and the cutthrough. Both are about the same drive, given the slowing on 242. The rest of Contra Costa County moves nicely. Alameda county eastbound 580 still has construction crews scheduled to be there perhaps another half hour until they clear that countercommute toward the dublin interchange. There is an issue near the Castro Valley y. Im checking on details. Theres a build for 880, 101 slows past the airport. Back to you. Thanks so much. In just a few hours, a bay area pilot will face a judge on 83 counts of attempted murder. This is for allegedly trying to turn off an engine of a San Franciscobound plane midflight. Today in the bays kris sanchez joins us from the newsroom with what we know about why. We were told that the suspect appeared to have some sort of mental breakdown. What hes accused of doing is something that should only be attempted in a total emergency. This happened on a horizon air flight to San Francisco. This is the man were talking about. Horizon is owned by alaska airlines. Now, the flight was coming to San Francisco from everett, washington. The man is Joseph Emerson from pleasant hill. Hes a pilot, off duty at the time, sitting in the extra seat in the cockpit. Passengers said the plane started going down fast, making several sharp turns and they heard an announcement over the speakers about an Emergency Landing. Inside the cockpit were told that emerson tried to turn the planes engines off, using what our nbc news aviation analyst says is only to be used in an emergency. They have what they call fire handles, thandles, they call them, on the roof of the cockpit, that you grab, you turn, and you shut down. That actually shuts the fuel off, as well as turning the engine off, so its used for an emergency situation, if you have an engine fire or something along those lines. Its a quick way of shutting down the engines. This jump seat rider may have tried to use those emergency thandles to do it. Reporter horizon is owned by alaska airlines. Emerson was subdued by crew members, then escorted to the back of the plane. Upon landing, emerson was taken into custody. The faa is investigation, but the fbi has already come out saying this does not appear to be connected to any current world events. Its worth noting that pilots over the age of 40 have to undergo medical evaluations every six months. They have to disclose their Mental Health issues, they have to disclose what kinds of medications theyre taking. However, full mental evaluations are not part of that physical. Emersons last physical was just last month. Back to you. Really concerning. Hope to find out why this all happened. Glad those lives were saved. Thank you. Well, turning to breaking news now overseas, at least one sailor is dead and the search is still on for four additional sailors now missing. Two cargo ships collided in the north sea.

Theres no immediate word on what led to that accident. Theres some relief this morning in israel, after the release of two additional hostages, but at least 200 others remain captive. Their whereabouts are unknown, including the husbands of the two women that were just freed. Today in the bays brie jackson joins us live from washington. I understand one of those women is actually talking about her ordeal this morning. Reporter thats right, laura. 79yearold nurit cooper and 85yearold Yocheved Lifshitz were kidnapped and the pair were freed from hamas control yesterday. This is new video of the pair arriving at the tel aviv hospital last night. In a post on telegram, hamas says they decided to release the pair due to compelling humanitarian reasons. With her daughter translating for her in english, lifshitz spoke about what it was like when she was taken. My mom is saying that she was taken on the back of a motorbike, with her legs on one side, that she was taken through the plowed fields with the men in front on one side and one behind her, and that while she was being taken, she was beat with sticks. Reporter you might remember on friday two women from illinois were also released by hamas. 200 hostages are believed to remain captive, including the husbands of the two recently released hostages. Meanwhile, president Bidens Administration is pleading for israel to hold off on a much anticipated ground invasion. Today members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs will receive a classified briefing focusing on iran and its support of terror groups like hamas. Theres been bipartisan pressure for the Biden Administration to toughen their iran posture since the war in israel began. So interesting to see everything play out there. Thanks for the latest, brie.
