the airport grounds here. a lot of people i must say i ve seen a lot of tears, a lot of people crying. some of these people have witnessed a crash according to these witnesses it was a p-51 plane that went up in the air. this is the national championship air races. this has gone on for four decades in the reno area. very popular event where the planes do wild stunts in the air. witnesses say the plane went up then started to come down and ultimately went into some type of a grandstands or vip area where there were people who were watching the event. so the question right now, how many people have been injured? how many possible casualties? we re waiting for word from law enforcement. of course, in this kind of emergency situation, law enforcement officials are running around doing their jobs. their priority, of course, not always to speak to the media right away. we re trying to find out exactly how many people injured, but as
it s about 10:00 at night. the curfew imposed from 3:00 p.m. and people try to get to the airport, obviously, within the curfew. so they re standing around now, trying to get on a flight that they can to get out of here. it s about 2,000 americans or so, 2500 or so asked for help and over the next couple of days that s about the number they expect will get out of the country, as well as from other countries as well. we just left the airport grounds and trying to get to another area of the city to a hotel and we just encountered a couple of checkpoints. one a military check point which looked legitimate but a few miles down the road there was basically a bunch of thugs hanging around with a bunch holding sticks and clubs, what looked like knives and other things and it looked ominous, which is why i didn t call in a little while ago when i was supposed to, i wanted to get out of the area. it s unclear who is in charge in the city. it s a dicey place. and that s what people, residents
intelligence. check for explosives and protect airport grounds from possible suicide attacks. banks have apparently gone from one extreme to the other in this housing market. you ll recall one of the main reasons the market collapsed dragging down the rest of the economy with it was that banks were approving loans for people who just couldn t afford them. often approving mortgages for high risk lenders with little or no down payment. since the collapse, the 20% down payment is once again the standard. and now there is word some home buyers could have to upfront 30% of the price of their homes. peter barnes from the fox business network live from d.c. peter, 30%? shep, as part of financial regulation reform, bank regulators basically will define what a safe mortgage is to help prevent a future financial crisis. historically, as you pointed out, 20% down has been safe enough. but one big lender, wells fargo is suggesting maybe it should be 30%. the bank argues that that standard would
between where attacks could happen, right? absolutely. the intermodal nature of mass transit creates all sorts of opportunities for anned aver saer. it s not like an airport where a plane overnight stays in a secure location on the airport grounds. so the sheer volume of potential vulnerability is so high the security measures don t apply. security at the stations is the last line of defense. the first line is identifying these people before they get near the potential target. most resources that we were talking about here, roger, going for airline flights and security with regard to passengers. but also cargo flights that fly over the united states. is that a major vulnerability as well? well, we saw the air cargo plot that came out of yemen two months ago, and you ve seen more attention to cargo screening as a result. for some time there was a
most airlines are waving fees for one-time changes. they are urging passengers to make the changes through their websites. let s get a check on laguardia where eric fisher is live on the airport grounds for us. eric, with a good morning, what are you seeing out there? reporter: good morning, alex. i heard that first sound bite there. yesterday canceled flights to plan for this storm, i was flying out of atlanta, delays. i missed time with my family, too. this is something you don t want to see. you don t want negative impacts. it s going to put a damper on things. we are looking at quiet conditions. all you can see are a few spar rows on the ground having breakfast. we are going to see big, big changes for the afternoon. most flights are on time this morning. delays are cropping up in philadelphia. they have a snow emergency going into effect at 2:00.
