reporter: john, they're confirming what a lot of eyewitnesses said t was coming in low and slow. they gave out basically a timeline that really describes the last seven seconds. everything seemed fine when it was on short final and cleared to land here in san francisco. but seven seconds out the crew first realized they were coming in too slow. over the course of the next seven seconds it evolves to the point where the, the handles shaking the way they fly the plane of course. they tried to abort the landing but it was too late. as a part of that the crew has given a couple of details so far but the ntsb plans on meeting with crew today, speaking with them as well as as the pilots. but earlier today, on fox news channel they were talking about, that talking about the plans for this investigation to go forward by talking with the crew. take a listen. >> so we do want to interview all four of those pilots. we want to understand who was the pilot flying. who was the pilot in command at the time of the event and what was going on. we hope to interview them today. so far we've been getting good cooperation. we don't expect to have any problems but we do want to make sure we're able to talk to them. >> reporter: that is important part of the investigation very obviously. there are reports that a pilot was flying who had a lot of hours but had only 43 hours in this type of jet and the first time he landed this 777 here in san francisco. they have to make sure that is true report that is the past investigation. by interviewing pilots and the crew they will be able to clarify, that jon. jon: the stories of survivors are really something, huh? >> reporter: every time you read something that is inbelievable. one of the flight attendants talked about how one of the chutes deployed inside the plan. he had to cut it out. they used xacto knives to cut people out of seatbelts. a woman and her 4-year-old son were in the plane and when the plane landed and she turned around where the bathroom would be and the entire plane was gone. thankfully her and her son survived. he did have a broken leg. these stories of survival jon, are coming out and single one seems to be remarkable. one thing the ntsb says, first-responders they did a great job here. one. most important things they did was the at this age. they were able to quickly dissect the people an separate them out. who needed to be treated first. who needed to be treated last and who could wait and make sure people that needed to be treated and got to hospitals right away. that save ad lot of lives. jon: testament to the aircraft that is held together. >> reporter: absolutely. jon: adam housley, thank you. we'll speak to a former director of the nstb. he has looked at crashes like this in the past. what agents might be looking for right now. jenna: quite a day when it comes to news and plane crashes. we have the information on the deadly air crash in alaska killing all 10 people on board. rick leventhal is in the newsroom with all this rick? >> reporter: this was less than 24 hours after the asiana crash in san francisco. the deadly air crash in alaska worst in that state in 25 years t happened southwest of fairbanks. commuter plane crashed killing the pilot an all nine passengers on board. the aircraft, the otter was fully engulfed in planes when responders first arrived. three miles from the airport. the fire captain said they could see a big black plume of smoke immediately after the incident when they headed to the scene. took them 10 minutes to put out the fire as you can see is on the side of the runway. all 10 victims were still inside the plan. an ntsb go-team left washington to investigate the crash. the company confirms that the crash was flown i about the firm's owner. remains of the victim's were sent to the state medical examiner office in anchorage. alaska no stranger to plane crashes. there have been several already this year in a state where many choose to fly because of driving it's, very difficult there because of the limited road system and pilots face tremendous hazards and treacherous mountain passes and volatile weather. too soon to say what went wrong on sunday. jenna. jenna: rick, thank you. jon: there is growing fall out in america's hunt for nsa-leaker edward snowden as the president of bolivia urges european nations to push back against the united states. learning after faulty intel led investigators to suspect snowden was on a his presidential plane. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live in washington. what is the latest on this snowden saga, catherine? >> reporter: thank you, jon and food morning. the presidents of venezuela, bolivia and nicaragua offering asylum to the nsa leaker entering the third week in russia report he hadly still in the transit zone of the moskow airport. cuba is likely transit zone from moscow to central or south america. it is significant that the cuban president is signaling he is supports the decision to help edward snowedden. we have new information from daniel ellsberg who leaked the pentagon papers on snowden during the vietnam era writing in the washington post. that snowden did the right thing by fleeing the country. 30-year-old contractor would be in custody pending trial unlike ellsberg. i hope his revel ageses will spark a movement to rescue our democracy but he could not be part of that movement if he stayed here. there would be zero chance of bail if he returned now, and close to no chance had he not left the country would he be granted bail. robert menendez is calling for trade sanctions that any country that takes snowden at this point. jon: turns out snowden might still be able to travel. >> reporter: based on a review of these documents that asked the venezuelan government to hold snowden before your honoring him to the u.s. it appears he may have a way around the revocation of his passport. according to the documents snowden's passport was revoked last month the same day criminal charles were unsealed in a criminal court. documents warn venezuela that snowden may have a second u.s. passport to travel on. it reads in part, on 22nd of june, 2013, that passport was revoked. snowden may have be in possession of another passport the number is redacted that he previously reported as lost or stolen. a london advocacy group filed a formal complaint against the nsa and equivalent in britain, the gchq for allegedly each other's citizens and sharing that information without any meaningful legal oversight, jon. jon: the chase goes on, the hunt for, i guess, i guess we know where he is. >> reporter: not. of a hunt really. jon: catherine herridge thank you. jenna: still feels that way until we actually see him in some sort of custody, right. jon: still stuck in the who is could you airport and well -- jenna: we've been in airports before. not the ideal place. we'll see what happens next. meantime check out this story. a quick-thinking teen survives an endown terp with a man described as a career criminal. he is the guy on the screen. how she wound up preventing the burglary of her family's home and in the process of getting this guy behind bars. we'll tell you about that. as the investigation continues into the deadly plane crash in san francisco, we'll look why early theories suggest this may have been a case of some serious human error. >> i know you have your hands full, san mateo county ems notified we have a yellow alert. >> we'll be calling them regarding the yellow alert and, at this time we have two medics in route and i believe there will be more from san mateo. if you want us to send anymore units from fran? >> yes. start two more medic units. start two more. one... more... step! [ mom ] my little girl...she loves to help out on big jobs. good thing there's bounty select-a-size. it's the smaller powerful sheet that acts like a big sheet. look! one select-a-size sheet of bounty is 50% more absorbent than a full size sheet of the leading ordinary brand. ♪ i got it! [ mom ] use less with the small but powerful picker upper. bounty select-a-size. and try bounty napkins. jenna: cool headed and question-thinking teenage survives a close call with a man known as a career criminal after he allegedly burst into her family's homes and began rummaging through her things. 47-year-old earl will sown is accused of casing the home before the suspect the break-in he failed to notice a 13-year-old girl was inside at time. that teen apparently ducked into a closet after wilson broke in through a window. she was able to phone her mother and call police. wilson was caught after a very short chase. that teenager, cool under pressure. jon: good for her. we're continuing to follow breaking news out of san francisco where we're learning more about the deadly plane crash over the weekend that killed two teenagers aboard this flight. more than 300 passengers on board. take a look at what happened. the target airspeed we are told from the chairwoman of the national transportation safety board, as that plane was coming in for a landing, that boeing 777 they wanted to hit a target airspeed of 137 knots but the ntsb chair says they were flying a lot slower than that. seven seconds before impact, one of the pilots in the cockpit called to increase the airspeed. and then at four seconds before impact the stick shaker activated in the cockpit. that is the a device that tells pilots they're flying too slowly and they are in danger of what is called a stall. then one of the pilots called to go around. that means, power up the engines, take another approach, fly over the runway and then go around again. but it was only 1.5 seconds before i am, the before the plane slammed into the ground. just a short time ago we heard from the chairwoman of the national transportation safety board. she says the key to the investigation is figuring out what was happening in the cockpit in the moments before the crash. listen. >> we want to understand what was going on not just in those seven seconds but in the critical seconds leading up to that point. we are hoping to ininterview the pilots. there were four pilots on this flight. there's a crew that flies out. there is a relief crew because it is a long trans-pacific flight. so we do want to interview all four of those pilots. we want to understand who was the pilot flying. who was the pilot in command at the time. event and what was going on. jon: there on "fox & friends" this morning talking about the investigation. peter goelz is a former managing director of the national transportation safety board. he has investigated some of the best-known aviation accidents of the past. he is our guest now. a target airspeed of 137 knots, you just heard debra hersman talking about the fact they were flying significantly slower than that, peter. she said we're not just talking about a few knots her here what does that tell you and what is happening to the plane? >> what what it tells you the crew were not paying attention to their avionics and to their readouts. the per person who has his hands on the wheel, who is flying the plane is responsible for keeping the airport in sight, for, you know, directing the plane towards the runway. the person sitting next to him is calling out airspeed, calling out sync rate, calling out altitude. it got to within seven seconds of landing before they realized they were going too slow and they were too low is inexplicable and inexcusable. jon: the glide slope indicator that is something that tells pilots and actually tells the equipment on board the aircraft how the plane is approaching the runway and tells them whether they're coming in too low or too hot. the glide scope indicator for that particular runway was not working that day but that should have not been a factor since they were flying on visual flight rules, right? >> absolutely, jon. there was a notice to airmen, and they will find out whether the crew actually read that notice that indicated that it was down for normal repair. and pilots land without glide slopes every day. they do it at san francisco while it was down. doesn't cause any problems. but this is really at classic case of what we call cockpit resource management. were the crew communicating correctly? were they in front of their game? did they complete their checklists in time? did they know what was going on around them as they were coming in? apparently they didn't. jon: the airline has said that the pilot had only 43 hours of flight time in this particular aircraft and only about nine flights we understand it. but we should emphasize he would have had a lot of time in a 777 simulator, right? >> he would have flown the simulator and he had thousands of hours in other commercial aircraft. in any case the captain of the flight, the person sitting in the left seat, should have been monitoring this. he is the ultimate person responsible. he should have known that this pilot was inexperienced. should have been paying more attention to what was going on. >> i just wondered about the difference in size of the two aircraft. he had thousands of hours but in a boeing 747. that is significantly longer than the triple 7. you also sit higher because of the double deck of the flight deck, right? i just wonder if the visual approach, if he had been in a much longer aircraft, he would have been sitting higher and maybe the visual approach to him looked normal but he is in a shorter aircraft this time? >> well, and it is also challenging to land coming in over water because water is featureless character, it has featureless characterrics. you can't really get good depth of field over water and he may, you're absolutely right. he may have been fooled by the approach. but that is why you have two people in the cockpit. >> right. >> that is why you have communication back and forth to say, hey, you need to pay attention to this. and there's no reason to be dropping significantly below your approach speed. that is something -- jon: you also, according to debra hersman the engines were at idle when they tried to boost them to full power. that is not generally done in a landing jet aircraft, is it? >> well, it depends how they got to their speed. but the point is, when you push your engines, you know, your throttles to the wall, it take as few seconds to spool up and what happened apparently is, is this guy suddenly realized he was in trouble. he jerks his nose back. the plane stalls and the tail hits the landing gear and tail hits the breakwater. it was just a, a very bad sequence of events for an experienced pilot. jon: peter goelz, former managing director of the national transportation safety board. thank you. we'll continue to call on you as this investigation goes on. >> thank you, jon. jenna: state state is rushing to the hospital with his wife after she suffered an urgent medical crisis -- secretary of state john kerry. live report on her condition straight ahead. the white house is taking drastic new measures to get obamacare off the launch pad, doing away with some key rules. making it easier to get subsidies to pay for insurance. why?
