And the crew on the plane success hailed for saving as many passengers as they did. One Flight Attendant put a frightened little boy on her back and slid down the evacuation slide. The National Transportation safety board said a significant portion of the planes tail piece ended up in San Francisco bay and the ntsb has wrapped up a News Conference within the hour. We go live now to San Francisco for the latest. Lets start with the First Responders that one of the 16yearold victims was hit by a fire truck. How was that shaking out . Reporter wendy, they have discussed this in two different News Conferences today the First Responders held a News Conference a few hours ago and said they acknowledge that they had heard about this and that it had gone up the chain of command, that they were investigating it but hadnt made any determinations as to what exactly happened out there on that chaotic runway. The other mention of that was from the ntsb who said the coroner has not been able to determine cause of death on either one of those two teenage girls, whether she was, one of them was struck by a vehicle or not and whether that would be the cause of death in the eventuality. Theres a report one of the four pilots is the least experienced in flying this 777. Did the ntsb talk about that . Reporter they did. Hes had 43 hours in that particular plane. This was his first landing attempt here at San FranciscoInternational Airport which is a little bit tricky because it comes in over the water and you dont have a lot of depth of field when you come in over water. He had more experience in 747s which youre higher up. So in the actual plane because its a doubledecker. Theres a lot of speculation about that. The investigation will show as the ntsb has said he only had 43 hours in that particular plane but 10,000 hours in similar large jumbo jets. There were three other pilots in the cockpit at the time, correct . Werent they overseeing him . Didnt one of them realize this wasnt correct . Reporter you got to wonder if thats what the ntsb will be querying. They have so much to go over, so much information because in so many aviation disasters you dont have surviving pilots or surviving passengers or witnesses, people on the ground taking videos. They have a ton of information they have to sift through which means they will get some good information and good answers out of this crash landing. But we dont know yet what went on in that cockpit. All we do know for sure is nobody sounded any alarm until about seven seconds before the crash landing and no alarms going off in the cockpit until four seconds beforehand. So it was far too late by then. Absolutely. All right. Thanks so much. Our Team Coverage continues on the live desk with new stories from fire and Police Officers who responded to that plane crash.

As liz crenshaw reports its part of a new wireless Emergency Alert. The noise is hard to ignore and thats exactly the point. Local and National Emergency officials want to reach you and what better way but through that cell phone you never put down. Its not your average ring tone. The alarming sounds and vibration is wea or wireless Emergency Alert. An automatic message delivered to your phone and it may save your life. Its designed to be bell ringer, designed to tell you that theres something going on and that you need to take action. Damon penn is with fema. Fema manages the wireless Emergency Alert program. They are text like messages, this one a Flash Flood Warning from the National Weather service, nws. There are three different kinds of alerts. Extreme weather and other threatening emergencies. Amber alerts in the case of a missing child. And president ial alerts during a National Emergency. All are sent by an authorized government agency. The alert you receive depends on where you are with your phone. So those could be anything from a shooting, a tornado to anything emergency manager deems is something he wants to alert the local area about. During Hurricane Sandy wireless alerts were sent warning of flooding and high winds. In may 36 minutes before a tornado entered the city of moore, oklahoma the National Weather service sent warnings to cell phones in the area. And then again 16 minutes before the tornado touched down. When you get one youre told to tune to local media for more information. Unlike cell phone calls fema says wireless Emergency Alerts are not affected by Network Congestion because they use different technology. Only mobile phones bought in the last year or two have the technology to receive the alerts. Comes as part of the hardware thats built into your phone. Major cell carriers transmit the alerts and they are friends automatic. You dont have to sign up. No app is needed. The phone must be turned on the receive them and volume up to hear them. Because alerts can come any time of day. If theres an emergency that you need to know about at night it will wake you up. The sound is different, it feels different but, again, you in message thats been generated by your local authorities and we need to you respond to it. So, check with your cell phone carrier, go to our website to find out whether your phone is capable of receiving these wireless Emergency Alerts. Nbcwashington. Com liz crenshaw. Thats brilliant.
