Going to be a great day. Nice Cool Temperatures there to start with some upper 50s, leading into some mid70s for the middle of the day, but it will be heating up in some of our east bay valleys reaching the low ninds. Mike youre looking at a great commute. More schools coming online. You called out san lorenzo and nearby union city, new haven as well. That will be a factor on the surface streets. Pd over there warned about hillsborough also starting, smaller kids walking across, a little tougher to see but so far, green sensors all around the bay. Good flow, holding steadth the slowing pittsburg and bay point for highway 4 and a little build, a little more traffic and a tiny bit of slowing through the walnut creek interchange and highway 24 toward the caldecott. The bay bridge toll plaza has your backup, because the metering lights are on. Look at this, only at 23 minutes, not even a half hour from highway 4, the upper east shore freeway to the backup at the bay bridge. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Back to our top story the crash landing into the cold waters off of Half Moon Bay. Video of the surviving pilot actually shot himself. Everyone lived, thanks to help from a friend above. Kris sanchez joining us now their stories plus what the pilot is saying as his plane crashed. Kris, this is amazing that they survived. Yes, you see it going down. You see it crashing right into the pacific, but the two people who were on board that plane they did survive, and its thanks in part because they had another pilot shooting video. This was off the coast of Half Moon Bay just yesterday. The two planes were in midair for a photo shoot when one plane lost power. The pilot in that plane, david lesch, called in a may, while the other pilot kept rolling and circling that crash site, trying not to lose sight of them, also calling for help, not knowing at that point if lesch and his passenger were okay. They were documenting what was happening on a water proof phone, to the relief of the pilot who watched the whole thing happen. Were floating around now in the [ muted ] pacific ocean. Im holding onto my window shade as a floatation device. Im on the seat cushion. We have a seat cushion here. Water is a little cold. Your heart sinks when you hear may day, i have no power. Its something you never want to hear and it takes a second to kick in. Reporter and he calls you ten minutes on the phone later. Hearing that was such a relief. Ive never been so relieved to hear him on the phone. Weve been talking about that nervous laughter you hear from the passenger there. Theyre still smiling. They were treading water at the time. That water is so cold. They were getting stung by jellyfish and they were in the water for about 30 minutes, while that other pilot was circling overhead, and the coast guard was making their way over for a rescue. So how lucky are these people . Amazing. The coast guard crew happened to be in the area already for a Training Mission, and thats why they were able to get there that fast. Wow. We dont know why the plane last power at this point, but it is amazing they did survive. No doubt faa and ntsb investigating. Wow, amazing. Im not going to get on a small plane for a while. All right. Thanks, kris. 6 04 for you. President trumps controversial comments, today in the bays tracie potts live for news washington. The president is also talking about jews who support democrats. Well, he is and that was the most controversial thing that he seemed to have said. Hes tweeting this morning quoting a conservative commentator, applauding him saying that hes the best president that jewish people have ever had. On the other hand you have joe biden reacting this morning saying that what the president said was insulting and inexcusable. Theres reaction this morning from capitol hill. I am personally offended. Reporter to the campaign trail. I am a proud jewish person. And i have no concerns about voting democratic. Reporter outrage over what President Trump said about jews who support democrats. I think any jewish people that vote for a democrat, i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty. Reporter he was commenting on two democrats critical of israel. The proisrael group j street called it dangerous and shameful. The head of the Antidefamation League urging mr. Trump to stop using jews as a political football. The Jewish Democratic council of america accuses him of continuing to weaponize and politicize antisemitism, this as the president appears to back off support for gun background checks after meeting with the nra. We have to be very careful you know, they call it the slippery slope and all of a sudden everything gets taken away. Im not willing to declare that he has walked away from that commitment again, until i hear it directly from him. Reporter democrats fear pressure on the senate to enact gun laws will go nowhere without President Trumps support. Also the president now says he is thinking about cutting payroll taxes. The white house said a day earlier that wasnt even on the table. Back to you. It will be interesting to see why where that goes, tracie, thank you. The white house refusing to provide flu shots for migrant families held in American Detention Centers at our borders, thats the word from customs and Border Protection spokesperson. The agency says this is due to short term nature of detaining migrants. At least three Migrant Children have died in Detention Centers over the past few months.

Deliberations set to resume in about three hours with the rebooted jury in the ghost ship warehouse fire trial. It appears more potential delays mayen on the horizon. The judge hted some jurors made travel plans next month. One requested four weeks off. The judge dismissed the three jurors for violating court orders and the judge says theres a chance two of them could be held in contempt of court, which may include fines or jail time. 6 07 and the path appears a little more clear this morning for googles planned mega campus in downtown san jose. Thats because city leaders say that a judge dismissed a lawsuit surrounding the citys nondisclosure agreement with google. Two Public Interest groups filed suit arguing the deal lacked transparency. The two nonprofits managed to obtain thousands of documents during the course of the lawsuit but they say the city should have released that information without legal action. Google is expected to submit its plan for the 110 million project in october. Also new this morning, what google plans to do as it expands into moffitt field as the massive hangar you saw off of highway 101. Google plans to turn that 200foot high hangar into research and development labs, office space and areas for events. Plans show that the upgrade could cost more than 150 million. In 2015 google signed a more than 1 billion 60year lease with nasa to take over the air field and surrounding land. In hayward the search is on for a man who roughed up a robotic security device. This is him caught on camera two weeks ago. It happened at the Watkins Street garage which has been a frequent target of vandals. They put in a 400 pound robotic security guard.

San francisco the low 70s and then well see some low 90s inland today, so its going to be slightly hotter today compared to yesterday and were going to see some more widespread 90s in the forecast, going into the end of the week. More on that coming up in a few minutes and mike, you also have a look at a beautiful view of the commute. Thats right, and a beautiful view of the commute and of the sky. The commute itself we still have it. The backup at the bay bridge toll plaza but look at the left lanes lighting up already. We have a smooth flow of traffic on the approach. Thats a beautiful sunrise, coming over from San Francisco to the oakland side westbound the opposite direction is your commute and the build. A slight bit of slowing through p san pablo. Great easy drive. A build for pleasanton 680 south, 880 south from hayward more slowing and the south bay showing more traffic. This is 280 at 17, 280 northbound or southbound, san jose state comes back with instruction i inconstruction so a lot more surface traffic. It is 6 10. If your spidey sense is tingling, he may be splitting up with at vengers thanks to a dispute between movie studios. New this hour, the issue that may ground the web slinger.

And a very good morning and a happy wednesday as well. Walmart is suing tesla claiming that teslas solar panels caused fires at walmarts stores. Tesla hasnt commented. Facebook is releasing a new tool to show you how third parties might use your facebook data to track you. Now this comes as facebook is under tremendous pressure from government regulators, so while it might be useful, this tool really isnt something primarily for you. Is it . Theres a hoax circulating around facebooks instagram, saying theres a new rule that takes effect today or tomorrow. You have to postething saying you dont authorize the use of your instagram pictures inourt. This is a hoax, this is rick perry, the secretary of energy. Among his responsibilities is the supervision of Americas Nuclear weapons. Not only is this a hoax, its an old hoax. Its the same language used to describe a nonexistent facebook rule, also it doesnt make sense. Pictures you post online can be used against you in court. If you take a picture of yourself robbing a bank, prosecutors arent going to say he posted that thing says we cant use them, so youre free to go. A day after the white house said talk of a payroll tax cut was not true, President Trump said hes interested in a payroll tax cut though he says its not because the economy is in trouble. Payroll taxes, ive been think being payroll taxes for a long time. Whether or not we do it now or not is, its not being done because of recession, because we are legitimately, if we had a cut in Interest Rates by the fed, if they would do their job properly, and if they would do a meaningful cut, because they raised too fast you would see growth like youve not seen ever in this country. Its a 51 Million Contract and thats not huge by government standards. I. C. E. Redacted the cost of that contract in those documents they published online. You put the black bars across and so you have no idea whats there. I was showing you this earlier. What you can do though is cut and paste and figure out what it is. Government does this fairly often. Here it is, cant see what it is. Ill swipe across the table there, copy, controlc, go over to a word document and paste it. Ill make the font a little bit bigger so that you can see it. There it is, all the numbers that you need to see that were supposed to be secret. They did this with the Manafort Indictment as well, where theyre just using word to make black bars but those arent real black bars, right . Best would be to print it out, and then rescan it in and no way of getting that black bar off. You need a good old sharpie. A sharpie is good one, too. Thanks, scott. 6 17 for you right now.

We see some rain and also some cooler temperatures for the pacific northwest. Were missing out on that as High Pressure starts to build across the southwest. Its pushing that farther to the north, our inland temperatures heating up, but we will see the return of some coastal fog going into the weekend.

Were going to have a stretch of some pretty hot weather for some spots, while San Francisco stays in the low 70s.

That plane and another were midair for a photo shoot when one plane lost power about eight miles off the coast of Half Moon Bay. David lesch the pilot what crash landed called in a may day while the other pilot kept rolling and circling that crash site in order to keep sight of them and not knowing whether lesch and his passenger were okay. Turns out they were fine and they were documenting what was happening to them on a waterproof phone which was way to the relief of the pilot, who watched it all go down. Were floating around now in the [ muted ] pacific ocean. Im holding onto my window shade as a floatation device. [ laughter ] im on the seat cushion. We have a seat cushion here. Water is a little cold. Your heart sinks when you hear may day, i have no power. Its something you never want to hear and it takes a second to kick in. Reporter and he calls you ten minutes on the phone later. Hearing that was such a relief. Ive never been so relieved to hear him on the phone. You heard the passengers nervous laughter in that video there. Their luck continued from that point as the coast guard was able to get to them quickly, because they were on a Training Mission nearby. Lesch says without that coast guard rescue so fast, he is sure that they both would have died in that situation. At this point, were not sure why the plane went down but of course the ntsb and the faa are investigating but those people are just incredibly lucky. I know, completely.

President trump canceled a trip to denmark because denmark wont sell him greenland. He wants russia readmitted to the g7.

Lets start with that issue this morning, specifically the president said jews who vote for democrats, which is a good portion, are either uninformed or disloyal. Here is the president. I think any jewish people that vote for a democrat, i think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty, all right . That statement was condemned by all kinds of groups, jewish and gentile. Accusing jewish people of being disloyal to the country they live in is a old and cruel trope. About an hour ago he tweeted a quote from someone else describing or comparing trump to the king of israel. They love him like the Second Coming of god, the quote said.
