Right now, theres a battle brewing over what to rename the airport. Officials want to add San Francisco bay to the airports name. The plan announced last week is getting a lot of pushback, though abc7 News Reporter tim johns looks at why sfo says this name change wont fly by. One of the bay areas major airports could soon be getting a rebrand. Last week, officials with the port of oakland unveiling a plan to rename the citys airport to become San Francisco bay Oakland International airport. Studies have shown that over half of International Travelers and nearly a third of domestic travelers do not know where oakland lies in the San Francisco bay area. Oakland Officials Say they believe the potential name change would help would be travelers clearly identify the airport with the bay area, but the proposal has gotten swift pushback from many on the other side of the bay in San Francisco and at sfo airport. Our concern, especially for International Travelers, is that somebody may book a flight thinking that theyre going to one location, and only when they land do they realize theyre going to a completely different airport. Sfo says while they understand oaklands desire to attract more travelers through its airport piggybacks on its name is not the way to do it. Concerns also raised by travel industry analyst henry harteveldt. Im not surprised because i think it does risk creating confusion in the marketplace, harteveldt says. For years, more and more airlines have been cutting flights in and out of oakland. If they incorporate San Francisco into the name they believe it will help attract more customers and aid. Oakland believes that will help attract more airlines. While the name change isnt yet official, theres also questions over whether travelers would fly into the east bay city, even if they knew where it was. Here at sfo, we talked to several International Travelers who tell us theyd be skeptical to fly into Oakland Airport. That includes mohammed jalal, who was visiting from libya. Mohammed tells us if he ever comes back, hed still choose to fly into sfo, saying with more options and easier access to the city, it remains his preferred choice. The best option when i booked the ticket, they tell me you can use sfo in San Francisco airport. The port of oakland commissioners are set to consider the name change at their meeting on april 11th at sfo airport. Tim johns abc seven news.

Another high school in Southern California is investigating the creation and sharing of nude photos of students generated by ai reporter David Gonzalez with our sister station in los angeles is looking into it. High school is hard enough, you know, and to have to deal with Something Like this is just like its like soul crushing. Laguna Beach High School has launched an investigation into the creation of inappropriate or nude photos of several students using Artificial Intelligence. The ai generated photos may have been shared among students through text messages. Theres so much ai and its very prevalent out there, and kids are very smart. Theyre very tech savvy, much more than we are. And but their Decision Making capabilities are not the best. To me, its not shocking because i think the teens are super tech savvy. So this is just one other arm of that. Right now, the school has not identified who may be behind the alleged generated photos or the number of possible victims. Last month, Beverly Hills unified School District expelled five eighth graders for their involvement in using ai to generate nude photos of classmates and sharing them with others. Its like evolving so fast, but yeah, i think my reaction is obviously concerned just because, you know, you see things like this happen to big stars like taylor swift. So if taylor swift can even be protected from things like this, then what about our kids . In a statement, laguna beach unified School District says we are required by law to keep student discipline matters confidential to protect the privacy and wellbeing of our students in any situation that arises, the safety and security of our students is always our top priority. I support the discipline, children need to have consequences. And even though its a tough lesson to learn, i is, only going to be prevalent. I would leave it to the School District. Yeah. I dont have that expertise. Yeah, i would want them to be held accountable because you dont want it to happen again to anybody else at the school, including your own children.

My gentleman, Lieutenant Commander luke hunter, was the last remaining survivor of the uss arizona, the ship that accounted for nearly half of the lives lost during the attacks on pearl harbor in 1941. During that bombing, more than 1100 sailors and marines on the boat died while only 93 who were aboard at the time lived.

And fur hunter doing his job involves staying aboard that sinking ship, as his Commanding Officer ordered the survivors to help rescue injured soldiers. Here is how he described that scene to the American Veterans center back in 2018. He orders the guys were running out of the fire and it was pretty bad. And he said, knock him unconscious if you have to, because theyll if they jump over the side, theyll get burned to death in the fire. So we laid 15 or 16 of them down on the deck there.

It means a lot to me and it means a lot to my family, and im proud that im able to represent him so that his legacy can continue to live on.
