related accidents just in california. incidents you won't hear about from the ski industry. from collisions, falls, to losing control. it's clear flying down a mountain with flat objects strapped to your feet can be dangerous. not so claear is how often peope get hurt. even though most ski areas are on federal land, no one independently tracks accidents and trends on the slopes. it's information that's readily available when accidents occur on roads or waterways and is used to prevent future injuries and deaths. the ski industry self reports. injury statistics include paralysis, broken neck or back and other serious injuries. that's out of the more than 50 million visits annually. it's a stellar safety record that we are unable to verify. the investigative unit asked for further details

resort. >> a big ball of blood here. >> reporter: according to data we obtained from the state, medical staff just in california treat more than 6,000 people a year for ski or snowboard related ailments, including serious injuries like broken necks, backs, traumatic brain injuries. in addition to sprains or strains. compare that to the 47 serious injuries nationwide reported by the ski industry. we asked for a response to the thousands of injuries not included in tin the statistics. they do not compile specific locations because they say it would create misrepresentation, creating the false idea that one ski area is safer than another. dr. warren withers finds it hard to imagine there would be fewer than 50 serious injuries a year. he is with barton memorial hospital in lake tahoe. he says during the winter months, at least one ski or snowboard-related injury at that week will require overnight care. >> we see multiple fractures, collapsed lung or hemo thorax, which would be blood around the lung. >> they choose a lot to try to ensure safety, but it's not a very public way. >> reporter: amateur skier has been covering it for decade. we spoke to him in colorado. >> the ski industry has a national association. so they have an institutional mechanism to address this issue. so lay it all out there and say hey, we're really sighing an increase in this type of accident. >> but it has to be transparent. >> reporter: transparent accident data. >> data is tremendously important, especially identifying patterning of injury. how do you identify ways to improve safety measures. >> reporter: several ski safety bills that would require resorts to make their data public have been introduced. so far none have passed. for more information on ski safety including the stats that are made public we set up the information on our website. >> if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call or send us an e-mail to the unit at nbcbayarea.com. tonight there

moving out into the gulf of mexico. >> oil has been spotted as far out as 12 miles into the gulf of mexico. the area around the spill shown in red is now closed to ship traffic. one of the busiest areas in the world. they have not announced when that will be reopening. a new step back for hundreds of couples who tied the knot in michigan. it is said those marriages will not be recognized. an

they say they warned the pilot four times. when the pilot crossed into its airspace, the turkish fighter jet shot the syrian jet down. as the world waits to find out what happened to the missing airliner no one feels the pain of not nowing more than the families of the 239 people on board, including three americans. >> reporter: they are messages of hope. can you feel my love coming through

ride for the missing. >> i wish they all can came back safely. >> reporter: but every day that passes hope fades, and the families face the terrible prospect of not knowing what happened to their loved ones. >> that was nbc's reporter reporting. coming up, a photo telling a thousand words. two brothers stuck on the ice, how they were finally rescued. two young brothers in iowa trapped on an ice flow. >> reporter: and corbin crawford, the fear on their faces says it all. they were trapped on a piece of ice in the middle of the des moines river, headed straight for the churning waters

effect as we could see anywhere from 14 to 30 inches of snow from tuesday afternoon through thursday morning, and we will see some pretty strong gusts. as we go into wednesday and thursday. so tomorrow's forecast around the bay area, you notice on the seven day forecast, tomorrow clearly the warmest day we'll see for a while. 60s and 70s around the peninsula. low to mid-70s around the north bay. and you see the tri valley, pretty close to 80. livermore should get very close to 80 as well. 75 at danville, but the roller coaster ride plays out over the next five days, especially in the south bay. you see the numbers dropping down. most places dropping 10 to 15 degrees for high temperatures from monday through wednesday. that's good news. that system coming in on wednesday is going to have air cold enough for snow levels probably down to about 4,000 pete by thursday morning in the sierra. that means beneficial snow coming down. and 6,000 or 7,000 feet could see about 2 feet of
