The same is true in parts of the south. Pensacola, florida, is just beginning to assess the situation after two feet of rain left massive damage to homes and businesses and Officials Say the flooding is possibly related to a deadly explosion at a county prison last night. Well have more on that story in a moment, but we start this morning with Nbcs Kristen Welker who is in baltimore, maryland with this road collapse there. Kristen, as i understand, some neighbors indicate they have been complaining about issues there for a while. Reporter thats right. A few neighbors complaining that they had serious concerns about the retaining wall behind me that gave way last night, causing about eight to ten cars that fell 75 feet on to train tracks. One resident telling me she complained multiple times to the company that is responsible for the tracks, also to city officials. She says she got no response so there was a lot of deep concern throughout this neighborhood. Heres what one resident had to say. Take a listen. Weve reported this a couple of times over the past several years and was told it was structurally sound. They actually patched it up and left it at that. So weve been expecting it. Reporter we have reached out to city officials still waiting to hear back from them. The good news here, tamron, is incredibly, there were no injuries so there is relief about that. Fire officials working around the clock to try to secure this area. They are cleaning up debris. They have shut off gas lines in the area, evacuated residents. One Elementary School is closed today while this cleanup continues. So far no timeline on how long its going to take to remove all of the debris and to get this neighborhood back together. Tamron . Kristen, thank you. I would like to show you audience pictures were just getting in from philadelphia, some of the flooding happening in that state as mentioned, kristen, live in maryland. Were looking at a couple of different state where folks are waking up with serious weather trouble this morning. In fact, just in new york in the Community Howard beach some people said the damage they witnessed this morning or that they experienced this morning was worse than they received during Hurricane Sandy and quite a bad situation, and this is out of philadelphia. And now to developing news out of pensacola, florida, where a massive gas explosion at the Escambia County jail left 150 inmates and Corrections Officers injured last night. Within the last hour the sheriff of Escambia County said not all of the inmates have been found and that led to an Emotional Exchange with the mother of one of those still missing. I need to know who is and is not accounted for, and i was here last night. Yes, maam. Ive seen more than two body bags come out of there. My son, i called and i have called and theyve been rude and disrespectful. My son has not been accounted for and they have not been accounted for and i seen more than two body bags come out of there. Maam, i would direct your concern direct your concern youre the the sheriff you didnt even come up here when we were up here Officials Say heavy flooding in the building may have played a role in the blast which was so powerful, one witness described it and compared it to an earthquake. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is in pensacola with the very latest for us. Tamron, there is some confusion among county officials. Earlier weve been told that two inmates have been confirmed dead and that the rest were accounted for. The sheriff now says that information was notentirely complete and while there are two inmates are confirmed dead, there are three unaccounted for. That could mean there are three fatalities or that they could have escaped and authorities are investigating that. The explosion happened at 11 00 last night and investigators are trying to figure out what caused it. There was heavy flooding in this area and the building was heavily damaged by that flooding yesterday, but again, investigators do not know exactly what triggered the explosion. About 150 people were injured and they were taken to local hospitals and many were treated with minor injuries. Again, two people are confirmed dead. The latest information we have is that three other inmates are unaccounted for. Some county officials believe the county officials are saying theyre not sure whether those three that are unaccounted for are may have escaped or could be more fatalitiefatalities. More information as we get it. Thank you. Developing right now, the malaysian government just released audio of conversations between Malaysia Airlines, jet pilots and air Traffic Controllers and this is the first time were hearing this. We can hear the final words from flight 370s flight deck that weve talked so much about. Take a listen. Malaysian 370, good night. Good night, malaysia. Its been described as eerily calm as you hear those words, good night which weve known for a while through transcripts and this is the first time the audio has been heard and released by malaysias government issuing a preliminary report on the planes disappearance which is nearly now two months ago. With the nba taking the first steps toward facing Donald Sterling to sell or forcing him to sell the l. A. Clippers. We are learning highprofile names are lining up as potential buyers. The name thats gotten a lot of attention is that of oprah. In a statement a spokesperson for oprah said she is, quote, in discussions with larry geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team become availa e available. Geffen is an entertainment mogul and Larry Ellison is with the Software Giant oracle and theyre potential bidders for the team which was purchased by silver in 1981 was worth 12 million and now the estimated value 575 million. As for getting sterling to sell, a group of owners that make up the nbas executive committee are holding a Conference Call today to discuss their next step anies whether its oprah or someone else who ends up owning the team as usa today points out, at the very least it could drag out longer than the nba wants, and joining me now is cindy borne, editor of the early lead, the sports blog. Thank you for joining us. My pleasure. Why oprah has gotten the most attention a, shes oprah. Shes oprah. Would it have been an incredible turn of events and said the most Disgusting Things you can say would be owned by the first black woman and the first black woman owning a team in the united states. There is a long way to go before this is wrested from Donald Sterlings control. However, a number of minority moguls have stepped up, you know, from rap stars to boxers to, you know, the fact that magic johnsons name has been thrown about this and it seems rather clear that there will be a highprofile minority presence among whoever owns it, boy, oh, boy, when you say oprah, all of the other names recede. As far as female ownership in the nba, Sheila Johnson is cofounder and former wife of bob johnson. Shes part owner of the washington wnba team, and we know that was alongside her siblings that inherited the team from their father jerry bus. So here, oprah would enter into a whole other realm for women at a time when we know there needs to be diversity and ownership in all of sports and particularly the nba. Im not sure exactly what her role would be. Obviously, this is still really, really in the infant stages. David given and Larry Ellison have both had great interest in sports. Ellison, of course, with americas cup has been really involved. Geffen tried to buy the clippers three or four years ago and failed. Ellison has expressed interest in probably three or four nba teams so i think they would be far more hands on. I dont know, im just hoping oprah would do the pregame introductions. Your starting lineup david geffen did make a comment to espn regarding oprah. He said oprah is not interested in running the team. She thinks it would be a great thing for an important black america to own another franchise. Shes got a lot going on and would not be interested in the day to day, but nate silvers blog pointed out the nba diversity and majority owny, 2 africanamerican player, 76 of them minorities. So again, if the nba eventually is able to get this team away from Donald Sterling, what they are looking at and the message for overall sports would be historic, potentially. Yes, it definitely would and especially like a market like l. A. Where the lakers have so dominated it even across all sports, the lakers have been the dominant team in l. A. For years more so than the dodgers. This would be a real, real coup for the clippers and with the lakers in sort of descent right now and a bit of disarray, the clippers would be a really exotic team. Lastly, regarding this conference between the owners and the next step for the nba here, by all accounts, Donald Sterling plans to fight to the bitter end here. Do we know any more information, what gives the nba confidence that they could win this . The owner of the Sacramento Kings yesterday said that he thought the vote would be 290 among the owners to force sterling to sell. Donald sterling loves litigation and he will fight that tooth and nail. You know, will he be successful or will he finally cave in . You know, the value and the prominence of the franchise is only going to decline while this is going on. Why not sell now and just throw up your hands and surrender and take the money because, lets face it with all of these people involved, the price is going to only skyrocket. To your point, he loves litigation and he loves a settlement, 2. 7 million to the department of justice in the discrimination suit. He has in the past caved at least when it related to that incident. Hes read the cards. Hes read the cards and folded. Thank you so much, cindy. Greatly appreciate you joining us. Great having you on, thank you.

Nbc news has not authenticated the video, but in that statement, ford said quote, i have a problem with alcohol and the choices ivy made while under the influence. Ive tried to deal with this for some time and i tried to deal with this in the past and i know i need professional help and i am now 100 committed to getting myself right. Joining me now nbc political error, mark murray. People have laughed him off because of the way he presents himself and he is now this saturday night live character, and you hear this man saying ive tried to deal with this by myself now realizing he cannot, but even in the midst he still wants to hold on to his seat and he plans to run for mayor again. Hes not dropping out of the race. Its interesting that this admission didnt come out during the first round of revelations and, of course, you know, it all comes in the context of his reelection bid in toronto. Tamron, american politicians, im putting on my american politics hat in terms of the canadian political expert. Weve seen american politicians be able to survive scandal and you are only able to survive it if there is not one other shoe to drop and one other piece of information and think, and it would end up hurting Anthony Weiner when he said im not going to be sexting with anyone anymore and everything is behind me and then all of a sudden the new revelation came out and thats why his race and his situation and him finishing where he did turned out and so if you are are going to have a scandal and you will continue to try to run, you better make sure that nothing else happens again and thats the situation that happened to rob ford. When you talk about been surviving something so similar it would be marion berry, a storied career and he kept coming back and people kept supporting him. We saw, mark, when the scandal first broke his poll numbers went up and we know people tend to like the story of redemption and that youve overcome something and the time and the clock and the calendar works for him here and sometimes defiance plays very well and people want a politician to stand up for what they believe in, and to lash out at the press and lash out at opponents and that only works so far and all of the team who worked so far, im willing to cut him this one break here because i like him and this new revelation that comes out i think that deflates a lot of that. Of course, it seems he still wants to run for reelection, and this makes it very, very, very difficult for him. All right, mark. Thank you very much. Greatly appreciate it.
