Within the last few hours, the faa has grounded all dreamliners because of safety issues. Cbs 5 reporter len ramirez on how that move is grounding san jose from getting on the international map. Len. Reporter thats right, elizabeth. This san josetotokyo flight was a very big deal for this city. And this is not a good situation for the airline either. With all of the 787 aircraft now grounded in tokyo including the ones that brought a delegation from san jose to tokyo to play up the benefits of this connection. They had to come home today using another bay area airport. Reporter the grounding of all Nippon Airways 787s could not have come at a worse time for mineta san jose international.

San jose has so far lost two flights and a third on friday is in jeopardy. We flew into San Francisco. We had a choice between los angeles and San Francisco. Reporter the Silicon Valley ceo was with a business delegation scheduled on one of those canceled san jose flights. His group was rerouted and came home on a different plane but he praised anas decision. This is a company that put passengers ahead of profits and made a wise decision to make sure that boeing works out these kinks before they put another plane up in the air. Reporter the nonstop tokyo flight kicked off with fanfare last friday before the planes were grounded but after some 787s began having issues such as fuel leaks and battery fires. Passengers at the time did not seem worried. Any concerns about that plane . No. Im fine. Im fine with it. Ana is pretty good. In an ideal world you dont want your clients thinking about the aircraft. Reporter this Public Relations specialist said its not the story line the airlines and the airport would have wanted but as long as safety is maintained, it probably wont hurt long term. This is certainly not a disaster. This is boeings responsibility to get to the bottom of what is the problem with that 787. In the meantime, san jose has reached millions and millions of people as a result of this incident about their direct route. Reporter at this point, the next scheduled departure from san jose and arrival is on friday using a dreamliner. But at this point, its anyones guess when the service will resume.

Reporter the substitute custodian forgot to turn off the water. 1500 gallons damaged all four floors. There are some weak points in the floors and ceilings. The insulation had to be ripped out. A lot of places theres asbestos. Reporter instead of having all the departments located at one place, they are spread out now.

Reporter so the marin county homeowner is fighting a battle over a jump in the cost of her Flood Insurance, something her mortgage holder requires her to have. Four years ago, it cost 350. Now its 1,700, twice what one neighbor pays. My neighbor is paying 869. Reporter Flood Insurance rates are set by the government and based on a variety of factors including the size, age and design of your home. But the biggest factors are by far location and the propertys risk of actual flooding. Thats determined by the governments flood maps, surveys conducted on an ongoing basis to determine an areas flood risk. According to the latest maps, johnsons home is in a high risk area.

He is on the cover ahead of their showdown in atlanta and its an urban legend that players and teams who appear on the cover will be jinxed. Dennis joins us now. We are not saying theres any truth to that but alex smith and the 49ers showed up on the cover about this time last year before their loss to new york and the nfc championship game. Notre dame was on the cover before they lost in the title game. What do you think . Let me remind you that joe montana was on the cover in january of 1982, it was called super bowl preview.

Jim harbaugh redecorated the locker room with pictures of players from High School Days but there was one missing. They didnt have the internet back in 1982 that im aware of. I believe my picture was taken in california i look kind of mad because i dont know why in the world who is [ indiscernible ] so they say ricky lets take a picture. I wasnt smiling. I figure in my day i was a fantastic player. But for some reason, just people couldnt see it. You know . College scouts and the pundits just for some reason did not see it. Laughing because everybody was basically driving around the whole locker room looking at whos who. You had to dig up a picture we was saying 1980 because that picture is black and white so we climbed him the most because his picture is in black and white. Now, what this is, is jim harbaugh taking a page out of bill walshs playbook and that is to make sure the team is not on edge theres no anxiety.
