Last years crash, and that includes the crew, the company they worked for, and even the federal aviation administration. The captain of the ill fated flight was fully aware the crew was in trouble. He new the first officer had placed the crew and passengers in danger but never took control of the aircraft. We may never know why. The first officer who was fired from his previous job was flying the hawker 700 too low slow causing the plane to stall just before the crash. They went from being too fast to being too slow. They were continuously below vras for the entire approach. Carl they were quick to criticize the faa for lack of oversite. Surveillance involves more than just checking boxes to make sure things were in place. You have to make sure theyre actually doing those things. Anybody can have a manual and have the forms filled out. Carl the ntsb was especially critical of the charter Flight Company itself. One board member says execuflight was infected with sloppiness. I looked into the web page and it made safety was the cornerstone of our business. Airport safety is our top priority. 135 regulations it said 135 establishes strict safety, maintenance and standards for charter aircraft operations. And i agree that part 135 does establish those standards. But if you dont stick to them, if you dont follow them, they mean nothing. And this is an organization that did not pay any attention to the maintenance. The maintenance records werent accurate. They didnt look into why the pilot was fired from his previous employer. Execuflight. Do you feel the company bears any responsibility for this crash . No. We dont bear responsibility for the crash. We are regretful for the crash. But we dont bear responsibility. We didnt you know, we didnt do anything in that crash as a company to set it up for that. Carl now, he disputes just about every finding of the ntsb investigation involving the company. Isnt to blame for the accident. This comes up at 5 00. Romona this investigation took almost a year to complete. What are some of the other factors they considered before assigning blame . Carl a lot of factors. One was the weight of the plane. Was it too heavy . Were the pilots too fatigued. And they determined that neither one was a major factor in the crash. Mark sometimes, well call it some good, positives, will come out of a situation like this. Carl that ws the case here. As a result of this, the faa for its inspectors, and theyre hoping to find some of the problems before they become problems and hopefully save some lives. Carl very good. Carl monday, thank you. The National Transportation safety board released depositions earlier this month that offered revealing insight into execuflights operations. Cleveland 19 chris tanaka was here about what a former pilot had to say. Chris its not pr. Execuflight told him to lie about maintenance records as well as weight and balance merments. When he refused, he was fired. He also testified that execuflight pushed pilots to work beyond their maximum hours. He told investigators a pilot had surpassed his flying hours when he began the ill fated flight last november. He believes execuflight changed coverup. In a separate deposition the owner denied the accusations and says his company is committed to safety. He told ntsb investigators pilots are encouraged to report if theyre not comfortable with flying backtoback flights. He testified he assured him he was okay to fly. As for the weight of the plane, he says pilots use 200 pounds per person as estimates. Well, the plane that day was 600 pounds over weight when it crashed. Both the pilot and copilot of the plane had been banned from their previous jobs. One more performance and copilot for missing mandatory training.

Dicks Sporting Goods will open early to offer fans conference championship gear. A new batch of rock n roll hall of fame nominees is in and its a big one. And its not dan deroos. Dan no, its not. [ laughing ] dan do you know what im going to do . Were going to wait on the rock n roll hall of fame. Were all happy here in cleveland. Headlines not so happy in toronto. Thats where im getting my answers. I went to the newspapers, the publications in canada today. A couple of National Newspapers like this one. The national post. Take a look at this headline. Pushing all of the right buttons against the bluejays. I think we can all agree with that. Thats been a major difference in this series. This is the globe. Another national newspaper. Here is this news line. The jails are getting outpitched, outhustled, out coached. Here is the son. Theyre talking about do or die to game four but then they quickly move on to hockey. Maybe thats when newspapers ina lets focus less on losing in toronto and more on hockey. Well see other spectacular headlines i have a feeling when we wrap this thing up. Getting answers in the answer center, dan deroos, back to you, ramona. Romona all right. Now were going to talk about the rock n roll hall of fame nominees. Its in. Its a big one. 19 nominees in all. Mark yes. But they still have to wid will this all down for the official inductees. Usually five to seven overall. From the rock n roll hall of fame. Greg, cogood evening, sir. Hey, mark. How are you. I know were going to jump into this list. But before we do, lets go tribe. [ laughing ] mark thats right. Romona lets go tribe. Greg used to run the Baseball Hall of fame. Hes got his baseball mind going as well on all of this. Romona greg, let me ask you, janet jackson, a fan favorite. Shes been nominated once. Schaka khan. I love her. How likely would one of them get in this time . This list is so incredible. I think out of all of these 19, any five would make an incredible class and a great class. And, ramona, its a great question. We dont really know. But i will tell you this. The fan voting that has been tallied so far today weve had tens of thousands of votes, janet is one of the top two. If thats any indication that carries through to the regular voting body, i would say she has now, the regular voting body are all of the other living inductees. Its writers, historians, journalists. And they all vote. And thats who gets elected from this 19. Mark a lot of people who do follow this will note that 19 is the largest number of nominees thats ever been put out there from what i can gather. Why such a big number . So the nominating committee meets. Its about 26 people in the room. Everybody nominates two. Then the votes are tallied. Typically its about 15 people on the ballot. Well, there was a real cluster. There was a number of folks that were tied for the final couple slots. So instead of trimming that down since it was a tie, they all got the same amount of votes, the group was expanded to 19. And in doing so, it gave us a very diverse ballot. Its all sorts of great genres. Most of these artists were not contemporaries of each other. They were in different types of music in different eras. So its a really broad swath of zombies to the bad brains to chaka khan to pearl jam. Its just a great ballot. Romona some of the names of the entertainers. You talked about fans voting. How long can fans vote and how do they . Sure. Fan voting started today. And you vote at rock hall. Com. And you can vote every single day. You can vote once up until december 5th.

Mark i was. Jeff i ended up going a little too aggressive on the high today. But, do you know what, the cloud cover filled in pretty quick there. Thats what slowed down the temperature rise. We still have this strong southwest wind. And 20 to 25 in fact, let me show you the gust map here. Were up to 37 Miles Per Hour gusts in elyria. It is approaches. We have the alert this evening and these are going to mainly be light rain showers. 8 00 p. M. To 2 00 p. M. Im thinking now by 2 00 in the morning, a lot of the rain will be out of here as the front comes through. But you can see how the clouds are on the increase as the morning went on and then into the afternoon we went mostly cloudy. Were starting to develop now and this is going to be the start of this. Were starting to develop these and i think that will continue to develop as this front moves into this warm air. 81 in cleveland. But we drop to 68 in grand rapids. 75 in chicago. Yes, theres going to be a drop in temperature tomorrow but we are still above average. Then we got the next system thursday and friday and forget about it. Thats when we really go down here. 8 00 this evening indicating scattered showers around. Here is 11 00 tonight. Rain. Could be a l here. And then by 2 00 in the morning for the most part, the rain is out. And then future view wants to bring in a few lakeeffect showers. But i dont think thats going to happen. Tomorrow morning im forecasting dry weather. Tomorrow is going to be dry and then look what happens later tonight and thursday. More moisture with this next system. And thursday it is not looking one of these all day rain situations. And then we turn much cooler into the end of the week. To 59. Akroncanton some scattered showers and thunder. Still warm tonight. 62 your low akroncanton. Tomorrow 71. Becoming partly cloudy. 58 at 8 00. 64 at 11 00. Around 70 at 2 00. Over all a pleasant day. But then later tomorrow night and thursday, rain and thunder. And this on thursday is going to be an all day thing. Right around 60. And then the wind friday. 52 the morning high. We could drop into the 40s during the day on friday. So obviously alerts thursday and friday. Look at the high on saturday. Only 46. Its going to be windy with spotty showers. And dont be surprised, you folks in the snow belt east of cleveland, might get a few ice pellets in there. Saturday night we drop down to 39. And sunday is looking better 56. Next monday near 60.
