to put on their oxygen masks. there are several reports some people onboard actually passed out because they couldn't get to the oxygen fast enough. there's speculation those were people who were probably not in their seats at the time. either way, it was certainly chaotic. and one aeronautics expert we talked to explained exactly what those passengers might have gone through. >> well, it would be a big bang and it would be very loud all of a sudden. of course, a lot of rushing air. no doubt anything loose in the cabin, dirt, magazines, anything, is going to try and fly toward that hole. >> the last similar incident happened just about two years ago when a football-sized hole opened up on a southwest flight, and the year before that an oxygen tank exploded on a qantas flight

monty. >> reporter: brian stowe works here at medical response as a paramedic. what has happened to him comes as a real shock to his co-workers, many of whom are also his friend. stowe was leaving dodgers stadium after the game with some friends. police say two men began taunting stowe and his friends and one of the men punched stowe in the back of the head and he hit his head on the pavement. the father of two was rushed to the hospital with critical head injuries and was later placed in a medically induced coma because of swelling of the brain. his co-workers here at amr have set up a fund to help pay for his medical care. >> i hope for a full recovery for brian. i want him to come home so that we can, you know, give him trouble about it. the trouble he's put us through just so he

first residents of the bay area. by that, i don't mean the immigrants who came before us, or even native american tribes who lived here centuries before that. what i mean is huge creatures that once roamed california. they're gone, but remains exist. remains with the ability to tell us volumes about what the creatures were like as well as the world around them. some of those remains were just discovered. nbc bay area was given special access to the dig site, one that has already made history, but could make much more. here's garvin thomas. >> reporter: while there are many things that come out of the ground in castorville that end up on your kitchen table, that's not true of what's being dug up here. if for no other reason than what's been found on this spot is likely bigger than your entire kitchen. >> it never occurred to most people that underneath the ground, there might be an ice-age animal right there. you'll know it when you see a femur this big. >> reporter: the doctor is one of three directors of the castroville mammoth excavation team. just about three months ago as this farmland was being graded in preparation for planting, the tusk and tooth of a columbian mammoth were uncovered. an ice-age beast, it roamed here tens of thousands of years ago. it is a relative of the much better known woolly mammoth and part of the lack of fame and lack of study which may end up making this discovery so special. >> it's going to change things. it may rewrite textbooks. >> reporter: so under a cloud of secrecy for the past month, teams of volunteers from santa clara university, foothill college as well as other bay area schools have been carefully uncovering what it turns out is not just one mammoth, but two. an adult and infant. and they found not just tusk and bone, but hair as well. >> it's kind of a dark brown/red. >> reporter: if they are able to extract dna from any of it, it will be the first time that has ever happened. >> we are always very excited by the find of hair, because it gives you a very good chance of actually finding the dna that comes from that animal. that has lived tens of thousands of years ago. >> reporter: but making history is rarely easy, and this dig is no exception. our recent wet weather has created a sea of sticky, clay mud, making not just excavation difficult, but even walking a challenge. so you have to wonder just why do they undertake this operation this time of year in these conditions. well, they really didn't have much choice. you see, the farmer who was gracious enough to let them dig here wants to grow artichokes on this property. so we told them, either dig now, or not at all. so they're going to have to be thorough, and fast as well. though that does not appear to be a problem for this team, they have already uncovered 10% of what they think is there, and can't wait to find the rest. >> every day we find more pieces. you know, we find more pieces to the puzzle. more of it gets revealed. and so that's also really exciting for all of us. >> absolutely. while the team likes to think of the two mammoths as mother and her baby, they can't tell for sure. at this point anyway. the farmer on whose land the remains fit, he chose stella for the adult and abby for the infant. let's check in with rob mayeda for a check of the weather. >> upper 80s we've seen over the last couple of days. today only

nice finish through the weekend, just not as warm as the last couple of days. close to 70 around concord. it could drop to the upper 30s in the mornings. low 70s across parts of the north bay. monday looks to be the warmest day in your seven-day forecast. probably wednesday and thursday system i think will toss actual rain for us. and more sierra snow, if you can believe that. things do dry out as
