The whole minute, no one came out, nobody knew what was happening. There were six people on the helicopter. The pilot freed himself. The other five did not. So police and fire divers entered the water and removed the other five. Great tragedy that we had occur here on an otherwise quiet sunday evening. Bill what do we know about the investigation, laura . Good morning. Reporter good morning, bill. The National Transportation safety board is sending a fourteam member go team. They are in route now to find out why this helicopter reportedly lost power sending that chopper into the icy cold waters and trapping all five passengers inside. We have the dramatic video of what took place. Witnesses saw the red helicopter come down around 7 00 p. M. Some reports seeing the copter. Horrified bystanders say after the splash down it quickly flipped over as the rotating blades began chopping into the water. We didnt know what was happening. There were like seven of us there. We were all calling 911. We didnt hear anything. We saw the yellow raft and then someone on top of it. They were screaming and yetting for help. We were all waving saying, help is coming. Reporter the euro copter is owned and operated by liberty helicopters who were flying the passengers hired for a doors off photo shoot. Rescue teams were on the scene within minutes and say while the pilot was able to strap himself and get out, his passengers were not able to do the same. The five people beside the pilot were all tightly harnessed. So these harnesses had to be cut and removed in order to get these folks off of this helicopter, which was upside down at the time and completely submerged. Reporter and weve been able to confirm the identity of the pilot. Hes 33yearold richard vance, who has reportedly been flying helicopters for a long time according to family members, and is said to be cooperating with investigators today. Bill had this company had problems before, laura . Reporter weve been looking into the Safety Record of liberty helicopters. It does promote itself as the largest and most experienced helicopter sight seeing Helicopter Service in the northeast. But there have been several accidents. You might remember we reported on this in 2009. There was a really bad crash. A liberty helicopter and a small plane collided above the hudson river when five italian tourists and the pilot were killed. In 2007 one of the companies fell 500 feet into the hudson river. But that pilot was able to save the seven passengers. Ntsb will be on the scene shortly and we will bring you developments. Bill thank you starting us off in manhattan. Thank you, laura. Sandra another fox news alert. The Trump Administration said the u. S. Will make no concessions to north korea ahead of a first ever meeting between President Trump and north korean dictator kim jongun. That according to cia director mike pompeo, who also says north korea must seize all missile and Nuclear Tests until the talks conclude. President trump saying swift and tough action against the regime has provide a window of opportunity. Weve had a problem for years with north korea. In fact, president obama said it was the biggest problem we had. We put very, very strong sanctions and lots of other things weve been doing fright the first day i was in office. This should have been handled, by the way, over the last 30 year, not now. Thats when it should have been handled. Shouldnt have this should have been handled and everybody will say it, too. But thats okay. Thats what we do. We handle things. Sandra kevin corker live at the white house. Kevin, is there a sense at the white house that north korea will be willing to meet the conditions for a meeting to actually take place . Reporter thats a good question. I think to be honest with you, there are probably some pockets of high skepticism within the white house, but at least publicly theyre saying all the right things and that indeed they believe that with the help of our partners in the region, that something will get done. How consequential that will be, obviously, remains to be seen. But the north, keep in mind, this is really i believe about validation as much as it is about conversation. Over the weekend, again, we heard the president saying a great deal over the great state of pennsylvania. He also seemed to suggest that this could be a historic opening. I think they want to do something. I think they want to make peace. I think its time. And i think weve shown great strength. Thats important. President trump isnt doing this for theater. Hes going to solve a problem. Whats most important is what is discussed and the clarity and the strength and resolve of this president and this administration to achieve the outcome that americans so desperately deserve. Reporter strong words from mr. Pompeo. The idea is that this isnt some dog and pony show that they want to play on the international stage. They expect results or there could be catastrophic result. Thats why the administration is looking at it from that perspective. Sandra kevin, the white house unveiled new proposals on School Safety. Yeah. Very interesting. As you and i have talked about previously, School Safety is one of the keystone domestic policy initiatives for this administration in 2018 in particular in the wake of the devastating attack in parkland, florida. Betsy devos telling fox and friends this morning. That means we will do all we can do to keep American Kids safe. Everything is on the table. Part of the job of this commission is to study an and that see if thats advanced ultimately as a recommendation. The point being there are many steps to be taken now and additional steps that will be taken down the road as we do the work of the commission. Reporter education secretary talking about the commission she will head. Democratic senator chuck shumer saying this in a statement about gun safety. He said the white house has taken tiny baby steps designed not to upset the nra and the gun violence epidemic in this country demands that giant steps be made. He said democratic will push to go forward, actual federal legislation on protection orders and a debate on banning assault weapons. Thats been their take for quite some time. For now back to you. Sandra monday morning at the white house. Thank you. Bill off to the korean matter again. South koreas envoy meeting with chinese officials later today ahead of planned talks with President Trump and kim jongun. Still a couple holes in the story. How are you doing . Good morning to you. Thank you. Bill South Koreans are prepping, the chinese are prepping. You need the region to get on board. How do you see this . Absolutely. The reason theres a break through to begin with is that the leader of north korea has requested. He has initiated demand for negotiations. He pronounced the term denuclearization. There was a road for that. That road was, on the one hand, administration put those sanctions displayed and send the forces spoke with china and got a vote at the United Nations Security Council against north korea. Said it was completely isolated except the south then said well theres a path for you. Everything is closed except going through me to the United States, which explains why now there is a partial success or relative success on that track. Bill so no word from pyongyang. Are they getting weak knees . Whats up . They will not make statements in public after making so many statements about the enemy, the United States, and all their other allies. On the other hand, South Koreans, including the National Security adviser, speaking now with the chinese, are relaying this message to north korea. North korea wants to talk because the equation there is the only path. I think china is the one that tipped the scales by telling the north koreans i wont be with you to engage in a war. Bill last question. Is the plan to denuclearize north korea working . I think at this point in time it is. The first part of that plan is working. They are willing to sit down and talk. It all defends on the negotiation not just between the u. S. And the north Korean Leader, but south korea, japan, are willing to do. Mostly china. What would china do . Bill thank you. What will china do, indeed . Thank you, sir. Ten minutes past the hour. Well wait and see what north korea says. Sandra lot of details to be worked out on that. We are just Getting Started on a very busy month morning. As President Trump goes into full campaign mode. Did you say i love President Trump . Sandra the president holding a raucous rally in steel country, looking to tip the scales in a heated special election tomorrow. We will break it all down for you.

How much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Conor lamb, lamb the sham. Right . Lamb the sham. Hes trying to act like a republican so he gets he wont give me one vote. I dont know him. I hear hes nice looking. I think im better looking than him. Personally, i like rick saccone. I think hes handsome. Bill saturday night, President Trump campaigning near pittsburgh over the weekend for rick saccone. Big election tomorrow, special election in pennsylvania. Show you the map behind us. The big board is back. The billboard, too. This is how the vote turned out in 2016. Philadelphia over here, pittsburgh over here. Keep your eye on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Thats Congressional District number 18. Spreads itself out over 3 1 2 counties. A lot of this is rural. Its steel country. Its democrats who typically vote republican. Also little bit of the Southern Suburbs of pittsburgh, pennsylvania as well. Greene county. Not a ton of votes but an easy victory for the president. Washington county similar, 60 plus. West moreland, 64 over Hillary Clinton. This is allegheny county, so it includes pittsburgh. Only a tiny sliver is included here. Answer that question first off. Why is that apparently close . Good morning, bill. Great to see the board again, as a matter of fact. You know, this is something, as you said, donald trump won really big. It has been a headache for republicans ever since. The reason were having this race, the reason the seat is open, is because the republican who held it was a big pro lifer, was having an extra marital affair and advised the woman that he was having an affair with to get an abortion because they thought she was pregnant and resigned in the subsequent scandal. Combine that with the president whose National Approval rating is in the 30s. Thats a problem. And then the third thing, rick saccone is almost by all opinions not a very candidate. Especially has not raised a lot of money. I was told this morning that conor lamb, the democrat, spent more on tv ads last week than rick saccone has raised in the campaign. Bill getting a lot of money from the outside to help him through this. You mentioned tim murphy. Last time he ran unopposed byron. You look at the president ial results of 2016. I mean, here is, in a word, how you are able to win the white house. 68,200 votes in the state of pennsylvania for President Trump. But even history for this district in 18, mccain won it by 11, romney by 17, donald trump won it by 19, byron. Republicans would have you believe that this is kind of a perfect storm of bad because of the circumstances of tim murphys resignation. Because of the quality differential between rick saccone and conor lamb who is a very telegenic former marine and former prosecutor. Kind of a dream candidate, who is presenting himself as a centrist candidate. Said he wont vote for nancy pelosi. Very pro 2nd amendment. Republicans would tell you, try to tell you it doesnt mean a lot, but the fact is this is a district that a republican should have easily won. Still might win it. But if he does, it will be really close. Bill we have it lean republican. Kelly anne con way was there on thursday. Donald trump jr. Is there today. How much of a risk was this at all to donald trump going there saturday night . It was a calculated risk for the president to do it. Because he is still relatively popular there. The hope was to fire up the people who had voted for donald trump, especially some crossover democrats who had done that. But, the flip side of the risk is that you risk energizing the opposition. The resistant forces are more energized by seeing the president they dislike show up and want to send him a message. The white house knew that this was a risk going in. Bill byron, can you see the camera where you are . Yes. Bill i always find this remarkable. The county breakdown from 2016, blue is democrat and red is republican. And you see the divided country here, right . Blue counties on the east coast and the blue counties out in california. This is Trump Country in the middle, byron, with all the red. You know, so many states look that way. Theyll have a democratic very blue urban center and suburban areas. Then theyll just have vast areas of red. Thats kind of the way our electoral map works these days. As you said, pennsylvania was absolutely critical for Donald Trumps victory. And it was a very narrow victory. So this is out in the area where he has a lot of support. Even in those areas, his Approval Ratings have been going down over this last crazy year. Bill it was 2 35 a. M. , remember . Just to make your point, right . Blue pittsburgh, blue philadelphia. Thank you, byron. Well see how it goes tomorrow. Appreciate your time. Thank you, bill. Sandra breaking news into our news room.
