Ohio state defeats oregon to grab College Footballs first ever playoff National Championship. A win for the record books today, tuesday, january 13th, 2015. Announcer from nbc news, this is today. With matt lauer and Savannah Guthrie live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on tuesday this morning. Still celebrating in columbus this morning. As they should be. Congratulations to it the ohio state buckeyes. I wish i could say it was a great game, but it wasnt. Oregon had dropped passes and never got on track. I feel good. I know the team that started with an o was going to win. Way to hedge your bet. Talk more about that in a little while. Lets start with the top story, the search for more people tied to the terror suspects in paris. Today, the funerals for the first victims are being held. Nbcs chief Foreign CorrespondentRichard Engel is in paris. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. The investigation here is under way. Security officials are trying to determine the exact relationship between last weeks attackers and the funerals for the victims have begun. They died in a hail of bullets in france last week, but today they were laid to rest in the holyland. The bodies of four jewish hostages murdered in a Kosher Grocery on friday arrived in israel overnight. Their funerals attended by thousands including the israeli prime minister. Simultaneously in paris there was a service for three Police Officers posthumously awarded frances highest honor. This is an emotional time in france. The white house admits they should have sent a more senior representative to show solidarity. We should have sent someone with a higher profile. Reporter meanwhile, the wife of the man who murdered the four hostages, hayat boumeddiene, is now confirmed to be far beyond the reach of justice. The Security Camera footage shows her and a male companion arriving in turkey more than ten days ago. Officials say she later slipped across the border to syria and there reports in paris that as many as six more suspects are still on the loose. The government has not confirmed it, but they ordered the largest deployment of armed forces since world war ii. 10,000 troops are fanning out across the country, guarding monuments, jewish schools and other sensitive targets. There is also defiance here. The satyrical magazine Charlie Hebdo was attacked for publishing an offensive cartoon of the muslim prophet muhammad, plans to release a special edition tomorrow. Three million copies in 16 languages and yet again, another cartoon of the prophet muhammad, and this time holding a sign that said je suis charlie, i am charlie. Bill bratton served as the commissioner. Good to see you. They are looking for the up to six other possible members of this terror cell in paris. Is this something of a race against time . If you were doing this, would the assumption be if given the chance if we dont catch up with them might strike again . Might strike again and the passage of time allows them to move and move across a border borderless europe now. They can move everybody out of the country easily. There is a concern of a potential strike again and the ability to disappear into larger europe. You look at what happened in paris, the suspects are dead and from a terrorists standpoint, this is a success story. Do you worry about that inspiring or perhaps motivating people here in this country to try something similar . Certainly. We saw back in september on twitter encouraging the lonewolf, selfactivated attacks attacks. We saw events in canada. Weve seen events in australia. We had the events here in new york city where officers were attacked by an individual with a hatchet. They renewed that threat and drew attention to it again. What are you telling the officers and how are you telling them to be on the lookout . We have so many additional officers out protecting the sites were concerned with here in the city to be more vigilant than they might be. The idea that the two officers in the car and we want to release one of them, preferably two and engaging with people. To be very much aware f their own safety and the safety of the site. French authorities have come in for criticism and at least in the case of one suspects, he was well known to french authorities and served time in prison. They are being accused of dropping the ball and not watching them anymore. Has that led you and people working in your counterterror unit to scrub the database and look back at the people who might have been on your list or of interest to you in the past . One of the benefits of the nypd is were so big, we have almost 1,000 officers assigned to our counterterrorism operation and intelligence operations. We have a lot of resources with almost 500 recollects working with the fbi in close collaboration and we are continually doing that. Nowhere near the level of threats that england had in terms of People Living within their borders. We have a bit of a head start. Always good to have you. Appreciate it. Thank you. Now heres matt. Investigators trying to pinpoint what caused smoke to fill a subway train and station in washington, d. C. During mondays busy evening rush. It led to one womans death and sent dozens more to area hospitals. Nbcs tom costello has the latest on this. Hi, tom. Good morning. Reporter matt, good morning. Were at the plaza metro station here. This is really just a terrifying event. 84 people taken to area hospitals, three in critical condition, one person died tragically after the train tunnel and the train filled with smoke, trapping passengers for nearly an hour. Please stay calm. Reporter panic on the subway. A train conductor urging passengers to stay calm, but for hundreds of passengers, that was impossible, choking on smoke so thick they could barely see. It happened at washingtons metro station as the evening rush hour was getting under way. A virginiabound car stuck on the tracks. No electricity, no visibility. Nothing. So much smoke they stayed inside their cars, struggling to breathe. By the time firefighters arrived, some passengers were unconscious, others having seizures. Once i got out and started coughing, i could taste blood in my lungs and that kind of thing. Its nasty. It was pitchblack smoke everywhere. They kicked everybody out. Reporter in all, dozens treated by medics and taken to area hospitals. So many, they had to use city buses. There was a woman in distress on the train and im sorry to say she passed away. Reporter the root cause remains unclear, but the ntsb has narrowed the source of the smoke. There was an electrical event involving the third rail. The train did not derail. There was no fire on the train. Reporter the washington, d. C. Subway system really has a checkered safety history. Back in 2009, nine people were killed and 70 injured after one train slammed into another. Tom, thanks very much. The Defense Department is having to answer a lot of questions after the u. S. Central commands twitter and youtube sites was attacked. This happened on the same day president obama was addressing cyber security. They are claiming links to isis and posting threatening messages. Lets go this morning to Jim Miklaszewski at the pentagon. There is no question that this is a huge embarrassment for the pentagon and military. S en com tried to play down the incident calling it vandalism. Its serious enough that the fbi is investigating. It was a cyber punch to the militarys central command. A group hacked into and seized control of sencoms accounts that they use to post information and videos of air strikes against isis in iraq and syria. Coincidence or not, it occurred as president obama delivered a speech on the need to tighten up cyber security. If we are going to be connected, we need to be protected. For 30 minutes they tweeted threatening messages. American soldier, we are coming. Watch your back and posted isis propaganda video. Cyber terror experts say social media sites can be relatively easy targets for the likes of the cyber caliphate. They have the ability of stealing passwords through spear fishing. Its not the most sophisticated, but it gets the job done. They posted the names and phone numbers of the top generals. The information was not classified. This is not a threat to Critical Infrastructure or intellectual property. This is much more of an annoyance. But sieb cyber experts say this should be a warning to vily on social media. Its not warfare or a crisis, but something that needs to be looked at and given much more attention than a simple prank. The pentagon has been in touch with twitter and will reach out to youtube in an effort to determine whether military safeguards are safe enough. That can be a tough job since the pentagon and military have thousands of social media accounts. As to how it could happen, since there many people logging on to single accounts, password protection may not be the best. Pretty disturbing, jim. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Lets turn to other news. Meantime, ohio state is celebrating this morning after winning the first ever College Football playoff in dominating fashion. If you look at this, the Empire State Building lit up in the colors very closely to buckeye at the top of the tower there. Craig melvin is at at t stadium in arlington. Good morning. Reporter good morning. I say roughly 60 to 70 of the stadium behind me last night was filled with ohio state fans, and they celebrated pretty hard after that big win. The celebrations actually got out of control, were told, in columbus last night. In fact, at one point police there had to put on riot gear. They used tear gas and pepper spray as well. Roughly 8,000 students there rushed to the stadium and tore down goalposts. There were a handful of arrests. Everyone celebrating the eighth National Championship for ohio state. A shootout deep in the heart of texas and the new champion crowned. The game was a slugfest from the opening kickoff. Ohio state took control led by the third string quarterback. And powered by running back ezekiel elliott. Reporter Marcus Mariota fought back. But the buckeyes wound up on top. The ohio state buckeyes, the First National champions can of the playoff. Reporter ohio native lebron james cheered from the stands calling elliott a beast. Hard to deny. Four touchdowns, national champion, mvp. How do you feel . I cant even describe this feeling with words. Im so happy for me and my brothers that we were able to accomplish this. Reporter everyone was caught up in the excitement. The first ever championship a big winner. Such an emotional mascot overcome there. Even before the teams took the field by the way, there was a bit of a snafu. I want to show you. You were talking about the o off the top of the broadcast and you notice the second o in ohio is missing there. Heres why. Not only did the buckeyes run all over the oregon ducks last night, they ran over one of their own as well. A cheerleader completely champ trampled. She was just fine and able to enjoy the game, but it got rowdy even before the game started. Oh, my. Thank you very much. Turning now to natalie. A problem at penn station. Officials are calling an Early Morning fire there this morning that disrupted service in and out of penn station suspicious. Subway trains were forced to bypass the station. The threealarm fire broke out in an underground construction site nearby. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries and were transported to the hospital. Divers have now recovered the second box from airasia flight 8501. The voice recorder was freed from beneath the wreckage and will be downloaded by analysts in jakarta in hopes it will reveal what pilots were saying before the plane crashed last month with 162 people aboard. Only 48 bodies have been recovered so far. A settlement could be in the works between Penn State University and the ncaa over the schools handling of the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.

Sandusky, a longtime assistant football coach, was convicted in 2012 for abusing boys and is serving a 30 to 60year prison sentence. In tulsa, oklahoma, a water main break caused major damage at a gas station cause on camera. This started out as a small bubble but quickly grew into a huge geyser. The water broke through the pavement, shot 30 feet into the air. It was enough to force to bring down the awning over the gas pumps. No injuries there, but the damage was reminiscent of a tornado. Call it the ultimate dream flight. Your choice of seats and no lines for the bathroom and no babies and more pretzels than you can possibly handle. One brooklyn man was lucky enough to actually experience it on a delta flight from cleveland to new york on monday. Chris oleary tweets out this picture from an empty 76seat plane.
