we didn t reach the 7,000 mark as yet. we re just over 6,000. so it definitely is the worst that we ve seen all winter so far, and it definitely makes the top five when you talk about just worse days for travel. if you want to look ahead to tomorrow, already more than 850 flights canceled. john? renee, our thanks to you. we mentioned at the stop the new york mayor has been getting heat for not giving city school students the day off. one father, though, has a bigger voice than many, even by twitter from sochi. al roker tweeting this morning, snow policy is ridiculous. tell people to stay off roads, stay home, but send your kids, teachers, staff in? then he wrote, why are schools all around nyc closed? it s going to take some kid or kids getting hurt before this goof ball policy gets changed.
accident itself to the rescue or the efforts to help, it all seemed to happen so quickly. reporter: it certainly did, john. it took them paramedics about ten minutes or so to get that woman from the scene where the accident happened, where she was hit to the hospital, about a mile away. and within one minute of her arriving at that hospital, they performed that emergency c-section to save that baby. we are trying to find out more tonight about the plow driver, as well. we asked inside here at the market behind me where it happened in the parking lot. we tried to talk to the manager there. he wouldn t speak to us. we tried to speak to the people there, as well. nobody would talk about this guy. we wanted to find out more about his driving habits people had been talking about and his erratic behavior. we tried to call police tonight to get an update on the questioning and see if they learned anything from him, tell us whether or not he might be charged with anything.
property we was at. there s two different properties there, using the same driveways. reporter: police have not yet revealed a possible motive. all right. no motive yet, gary. do we have any idea about how the package was delivered? reporter: law enforcement sources telling us it wasn t put in the mailbox, the package was put in front of the house. mr. setzer went out and got the package and brought it inside. we re told a few minutes ago that the suspect, richard parker, lived with the couple s daughter inside another house on the property. so he lived right there. and we re also told he was convicted of one crime in the past in 1993. he was convicted of an arson. right now he s in jail in lieu of $1 million bond. very tragic, sad story. gary tuchman, thank you very much. joining us now is the pastor of the first church of the nazarene. he knows the family involved. i understand you were just with the children of john and marion
the latest. gary? reporter: when this happened on monday police described it as a targeted bombing which raised the question, who would target this unassuming retired couple? tonight authorities say they have their answer. they say the answer is a close relative. it took authorities just three days to zero in on the man they believe killed husband and wife john and marion setzer with a package bomb. and now a grand jury has taken action. after hearing that evidence, they returned a two-count indictment of felony first degree murder, a two-count indictment of premeditated first degree murder on richard parker, age 49, son-in-law of john and marion setzer. reporter: richard parker, a man who was apparently married to the couple s daughter. parker is accused of delivering a package bomb on monday to his father-in-law.
when it s safe to reopen them. at 5:00 eastern time, the op center gave the all-clear. it s really interesting to see you out there on the tarmac. i ve never seen that perspective before. great report. we know today was a very bad day for cancellations. where does today s rank? reporter: i just want to tell you here, john, this picture is a map of the northeast area, and these are all the planes that are in the air right now, as we re speaking. but how does today stack up? it was a really bad day, but when you look at the numbers as far as what it has looked like in the past, it isn t the absolute worst. february 2 in 2011, they had more than 7,000 cancellations. hurricane sandy on one day, october 29, they also had more than 7,000 cancellations. same thing with hurricane irene.
