You know, its still a mystery really. Well be looking into that. Reporter and finding tell tale signs of a potential rock fall is often impossible. Things are happening within the rock. They are usually not visible to us. And so after the rock fall occurs, we can see a lot better what was going on in there after the fact. Reporter with 150 deaths from 2006 to 2016, yosemite was the nations second most deadly National Park second only to lake meads 254. People falling or Natural Causes such as heart attacks while hiking are the most common reasons. Rock falls are very few and far between. We have a rock fall of the size that we saw yesterday every few years. The past 150 years there have been 1,000 major rock falls. Thats about 7 a year for the last 150 years. But few have ever claimed any lives. Even counting smaller falls, there are only about 80 significant yosemite rock falls a year. Thats enough to report. There are thousands and thousands too small and spread out over the parks almost 1200 scare miles. The size of those slabs that fell, its remarkable. How can they say with authority that its safe now. Reporter i think its fair to call that a highly educated guess. These are professionals and they know what they are talking about and they can look at the area where the stone fell from and look over on the other sides and they can say, okay, this appears to be uniform, this appears to be something that is cohesive and all of that stuff. But one has to remember that those big pieces that fell away were also supporting those side pieces so its a highly educated guess and this has been going on forever. This is the natural wonder of yosemite and its also the natural danger and people need to be aware of that. But is there a great chance of being killed or hurt by a rock fall . No. Is there any particular kind of year when things happen more often than another time of year . Reporter no. They happen all the time. This is probably the least likely time for it to happen because they usually happen after big swings in temperatures or big swings in precipitation. Now, we did have a lot of precipitation and heat this summer and it is conceivable that deep into the rock, 26, 27 feet deep into the rock it took that long to cool and heat the stones in order to do that. But its just as likely this has been going on for decades if not millenia. Thank you. San jose police are searching for multiple suspects wanted in connection with a deadly shooting.

John burris who is representing bennett says he doesnt believe that the video proves this was a lawful detention. The issue, though, is his conduct was very similar to everyone else. Everybody was very purposefulful they were all trying to get away because they thought in fact there will be gunshots. So michael was running like them trying to get away like everyone else. Las vegas police also claimed that race was not a factor in this case. Burris says the fact that the officers involved were hispanic doesnt mean bennett could not have been racially profiled.

Well walk you through the tricky maneuver done 11,000 miles above earth today. Here we go. The weekend is here for you. Hope youre starting it out. We have clouds out there now. Will they persist . See you back here after the break. I big move by nasa today. Almost 11,000 miles above earth a spacecraft launched from florida last year sped by earthed and slingshot towards an asteroid to help us learn more about the solar system and our planet. Phil keating shows us how the highflying maneuver works and what scientists are hoping to learn. Reporter nasa is shooting for the stars. Or in this case, an asteroid. So its the First Mission to an asteroid to retrieve a sample and return it to earth. Its heading to the nearest asteroid. Reporter to get there, nasa will be using earths gravity. We are going to do a slingshot maneuver where we come within about 11,000 miles of earth just close enough to where the gravitational pull can slingshot us around. Reporter the maneuver isnt just about accelerating. Its also about changing direction. We are going to change our trajectory such that were going towards the asteroid and to get there next year to start the detailed mapping, get that sample and bring that sample back to earth in 2023. Reporter studying asteroids is important because like a time capsule, they will give scientists a closer look at the Building Blocks of our solar system. The remnants of the material that was created 4. 5 billion years ago. So by traveling to this asteroid, were able to actually not only understand the materials from the very early solar system but be able to see some of the prebiotic organic molecules that were the things from the very beginning early on, the stuff that could have actually struck earth and caused us to have a seeding of life here later on. Reporter nasa scientists hope to get a far better understanding about how life was created on earth and say scientists for generations in the future will be able to further study the asteroid data they still hope to get.

People here obviously work weekends, um, gosh, Frank Mallicoat and claudine works weekends a little bit. So as you look at the conditions for tomorrow, for your bay area saturday, a little warmer than it was today. Well have a nice looking day inland with 80s. Next couple of days a little general warmup with some High Pressure building in. Thats not a heat wave but it will get us a red flag warning in the hills north and east bay as we go into saturday night into sunday morning. The red flag warning will be met through the winds because wind gusts will be 30 miles an hour. Anytime you get any kind of fire danger this time of year, its already just fire danger plus. Its like a red flag warning to me every day until we get the first big rain. But the atmospherics will be such on saturday night and sunday morning that well see some significant winds to watch out for. Now the winds will take care of the fog. The fog is gone probably by tomorrow afternoon as those winds scour it away warming things up in the evening hours. It will be a beautiful night around the bay area. I think you will see the sunset at ocean beach. You see the fog went away . That was the wind. Its not a heat wave just a lot of wind, more wind in these north and east bay hills. So the story goes this High Pressure will set up tomorrow night and then down the road a little bit, this low sets up and that should be a little more cool pattern in a lesser fire danger pattern and a lesser bad air quality pattern.
