No word yet on a cause but its the second Small Plane Crash in alaska since june 28th. In a state where air traffic is very common. The team from the National Transportation safety board is on its way to the scene now and scheduled to arrive this afternoon. Now to the crash of ashe anna flight 214 in San Francisco. New video of the illfated boeing 777 gives us an up close and personal view of that damage. Nbcs Danielle Leigh is live outside San Francisco international airport. Danielle, good morning. Reporter richard, good morning. And wreckage from the plane is still sitting on the runway behind me this morning. Is a stark reminder of the chaos from saturday. Investigators are going to be going through that debris today piece by piece. Meanwhile, the planes black box recording is already offering clues about what went wrong. Amidst the charred remains of asiana flight 214, investigators have obtained what may be one of their greatest clues. They say the black box voice recording from inside the cockpit captures crews calling for increased speed just seven seconds before the crash. 1. 5 seconds before impact, the crew unsuccessfully tries to abort the landing. The approach speed was 137 knots. I will tell you that the speed was significantly below 137 knots and were not talking about a few knots. This morning the National Transportation safety board will continue to annual lies the damage strewn along runway 28 left of the San Francisco international airport. The boeing 777 was ending a more than tenhour flight from seoul, south korea, when witnesses say the planes tail hit the sea wall just beyond the runway and broke off.

Were also getting new details about the pilot behind that plane this morning. South koreas Transportation Ministry says that that pilot was still in training to fly these boeing 777s and had gotten less than 50 hours experience on this specific plane. They also say it was his first time trying to land here at San Franciscos international airport. Later today, we are expected to hear from the coroner about their investigation into whether one of the two teens killed in this crash may have been run over by an Emergency Vehicle responding in the chaos. Reporting live in San Francisco, im Danielle Leigh. Richard, back to you. Danielle leigh, thank you. At least three latin american countries now offering to harbor the selfprofessed nsa leaker. Snowden must respond to one of the countries, venezuela, by today. Jim maceda in moscow. Jim with more. Good morning. Reporter hi, richard. So far theres no sign that Edward Snowden has responded one way or the other to venezuelas offer made on saturday of asylum there. Todays deadline to respond came yesterday, in fact, from venezuelas foreign minister. But many here believe the timeline is actually being driven by the kremlin. That president Vladimir Putin has concluded that keeping the american fugitive snowden even in a no mans land at a moscow airport is a no win situation for russia. And he wants to see snowden back as soon as possible. Now snowden does have other options. We know nicaragua and bolivia have offered him asylum though under certain conditions. The problem is even if snowden responds positively to these offers, how does he glet . He has no valid u. S. Passport or travel documents, and all the flights to these locations go via havana cuba which fly over european and u. S. Air space and which we learned last week can be pretty risky for planes and pilots if snowden is thought to be on board. So the snowden saga, richard, is not over yet. Back to you. Jim, thank you so much for that. Now to egypt where violence persists among a dramatic power shift there. Overnight more bloodshed. The ministry of health saying 42 people are dead and more than 300 hurt after an attack at the Republican Guard headquarters in cairo. Joining us from cairo is atiya. What can you tell us .

At least 42 people have been killed and more than 300 injured in clashes outside of the headquarters for the Republican Guard where many egyptians feel the former president Mohamed Morsi has been held since his ouster by the military on wednesday. The clashes occurred. Its the Muslim Brotherhood freedom and Justice Party already announced they want an uprising by its people against the opponents of what they called the legitimate revolution that occurred in 2011. An Umbrella Group for the brotherhood is expected to have a press conference where theyll announce the demand to release morsi in the next two days or forcibly release them themselves. Richard . Atia, thank you for that. Nbc meteorologist bill karins watching weather here in the United States for us. Some interesting story lines to talk about over the weekend.

The country, this is very typical this time of the year. All the humidity and all the warmth and moisture comes off the gulf of mexico. Thats the green shaded areas there.

From dallas to chicago to the east coast, thats the case. Humidity levels relatively low where youd expect them to be. Thats why its harder to get those afternoon thunderstorms. Yesterday was another hot day in phoenix at 112. Notice it was hot pretty much everywhere from minneapolis to boston and everywhere in between. Few exceptions like areas like seattle and San Francisco. A little cooler there because of the water. You get the gist of it. Now things are going to warm up.

Now its the defenses turn. So far, theyve been able to outside prosecutions own witnesses to build a case of a man protecting his own life when he pulled the trigger. They could wrap up by wednesday or thursday. I think everybody else on the outside was sort of, wow, look whats happening with the state witnesses.
