And good morning. Thanks for starting your day with us.
It's Thursday, November the 12th.
Welcome to Good Day LA. I'm Bob DeCastro.
And I'm Jen Lammers. We have a lot to get to. We start with
some breaking news at this hour. This one is out of New York.
So all eyes are on Brooklyn this
morning as rescue crews race to find survivors
in the rubble of a building collapse in Flatbush.
We know at least eight people are confirmed dead
and dozens more are injured. So the apartment
building collapsed
Last night, trapping residents and construction workers,
they're still searching through the rubble for any survivors,
and there is a concern also because rain is on the way.
We'll continue to monitor the situation there, and we'll check out
throughout the morning through our sister station, New York City.
We also have one of our reporters there on the scene.
Meanwhile, taking us to some live pictures out
of D.C. where five people were shot in a
neighborhood within walking distance of the White House.
As you can see, there's a massive
police presence there. And that's
because police say the shooter has actually barricaded himself
inside of a building. Police are urging people to avoid that area.
And schools near the scene
are right now on lockdown.
Well of course, keep watching this for you as well.
And some big breaking news here.
It's rocking the tech and the financial world.
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned after
two extramarital affairs were uncovered,
including one with a suspected Chinese spy, the other with an employee.
It sparked questions
about the future of one of the most valuable companies
in the world and national security
concerns. It's a stunning turn of events for the head
of the company at the heart of the AI boom.
Already, we're seeing the valuation
of NVIDIA stock plummet this morning.
All right, let's get to Maria with a look at the forecast,
and we do have changes afoot.
Good morning.
Yes, we do, and our temperatures
are going to be going down as well today.
Those numbers, definitely this cooling trend will begin.
Are you ready for not just one storm, but a series of storms
that will be impacting our weather here beginning tomorrow?
Right now, it's dry.
We're getting that flow out of the south
and southwest ahead of the first system that we are watching.
It's going to bring us some rain as early as even during
the overnight hours tonight into tomorrow.
We've got storm one, storm two, there's several
of that in the Pacific that we are watching right now,
so get ready for that.
In the meantime, right now it's dry.
It's 58 degrees in Pasadena.
It's 59 in Ontario, 61 downtown L.A.,
55 in Oxnard, 24 in Big Bear, 61 in Palm Springs.
And high temperatures will be cooler,
definitely, than the last several days,
but it will still be slightly above the average.
80s up into the low desert areas,
74 in the high desert to that 60 degrees
up into the mountains in Big Bear.
Downtown LA down to around
79, which is still above the average of 74.
83 for the Valleys and the Inland Empire, to around 78 along the coast.
We still have that beach hazard statement.
I'll let you know what kind of surf we are expecting as well
as the rest of the rainy forecast coming up in just a few moments.
In the meantime, let's go up to Stu.
He is over some breaking news right now.
Stu, what is the latest?
Hey, good morning, Maria.
And you know what?
No injuries.
No injuries.
No children injured.
No injuries.
Let's start with that.
Maybe somebody's ego has been injured.
This is happening right in front
of the West Hollywood Elementary School.
Hammond and Phyllis, you can see that school bus in the shot.
Somehow, someway, it bumped into a hydrant and the hydrant broke off.
West Hollywood fire, it's actually, sorry,
county fire is out here from West Hollywood
along with the Sheriff's Department.
They do have the road blocked right now.
This is happening in the West Hollywood area, clearly.
Hammond and Phyllis, you can see the fire department down there
working to find the valve to shut off that water.
Again, they also have the Sheriff's Department out here.
The road is closed in both directions.
Don't know what time the school does open, but...
Maybe, maybe expect delays.
There's the bus, and again, no injuries.
That fire hydrant definitely sheared off.
The water, still flowing.
I'm still up in Skybox, sending it back to you all in the studio.
That's L.A. County Fire, Station 7,
usually watching us at this hour right now,
but they're all plugging up that fire hydrant.
Oh, boy.
Good job, guys.
Thanks so much.
Let's get to breaking news in the Inland Empire this morning.
A wrong-way driver plows into an SUV
in a big rig on the 91 freeway in Riverside,
killing up to three people and injuring a fourth person.
Mario Ramirez is there at the scene with more.
Mario.
A horrible crash and we're now about five hours
into this investigation.
Three people losing their lives after multiple reports
of a wrong-way driver. Frantic calls to 911.
Now, for people trying to get through Riverside here
on the 91 westbound, it's been a nightmare.
You can see things are down to one lane here, only the HOV lane.
This is the westbound 91 near 14th Street.
A crash involving at least three vehicles leaving the freeway.
At least most of it closed. Only the HOV lane.
Lane is open and let's walk through how
this all started as we go to video here.
It was just after 2 o'clock this morning,
CHP began receiving those calls about a driver
speeding eastbound in the westbound lanes of the 91.
This was near University Avenue.
Witnesses described that driver swerving between other cars
and it was around the same time
a violent crash was reported near 14th Street.
Three vehicles involved, at least a big rig,
a black sedan and a white SUV.
And that white SUV ended up on its side.
You can see all the damage in the video, three people confirmed dead,
a fourth person also reportedly taken to the hospital
but we haven't been able to confirm their condition
and there's still some unanswered questions out here.
We don't know which vehicle the three people who died were in or
whether the reported wrong way driver was among those killed.
CHP not officially confirming that.
Names haven't been released, pending family notification,
and if we come back out here live, back to the traffic situation,
because 7 o'clock in the morning, you know, this is exactly when many
people are trying to get to work with only one of these lanes open.
For westbound drivers, people heading toward Corona and Orange County,
if you can avoid this area or find an alternate route, that's best to
do so because this investigation doesn't appear to be wrapping up here.
At least anytime soon for the morning commute.
For now, that's the latest.
In Riverside, along the 91 freeway, we'll send it back to you.
All right, Mario, thank you.
We've also been following the deadly crash outside
the North Hollywood Metro Station.
This morning, we're learning more about
the beloved street vendors who lost their lives.
Gigi Gracietta is live in North Hollywood with the latest.
That memorial, Gigi, continues to grow.
Good morning.
That's right. There are three memorials
on the sidewalk here on Linkerheim and Chandler.
And just a few moments ago,
we watched a woman get down on her knees in front of this memorial
to Maria Peck, 73 years old, one of the street vendors that was killed.
And we saw a commuter, because she went after and got on the metro,
we saw her get down on her knees and say a prayer
and gently touch Maria's picture.
It has really moved the community.
Thank you.
Women, these victims, were so much more than street vendors.
They were part of the fabric of the commuter community,
and today we're learning more about
them.
Take a look, in addition to Maria Peck.
Teodora Villalobos,
known to most as Doris or simply the hot dog lady, was the second
victim of three that were killed Tuesday night
as they worked selling food outside the North
Hollywood metro station
when police say a speeding driver they believe was under the
influence of alcohol or drugs,
lost control of his minivan and slammed right into them.
A third woman also died.
She has not yet been publicly identified.
Now, Marie.
Maria and Teodora, both of them were mothers
and again a beloved part of this community.
Yesterday we spoke to some of the people
that came out to pay their respects and they told
us some of these women, they've been here for decades.
These women have been part
of the community for so long.
Everything could just be gone in an instant, and it's tragic.
That's really all I can say about it.
It's really hard for you.
Yes, it is.
It's just devastating.
All three vendors, Maria, Doris, and the young one,
I've known them very well for the last several months.
Being homeless, this lady fed me.
Now, the suspect in this case has
been identified by police as Ihor Demyanenko.
He's 61 years old, seen there on his Facebook page.
He remains behind bars this morning.
Police say he was speeding down Lancashire
when he lost control of his van
as he tried to pass another car and then crashed onto the sidewalk.
He is being charged with driving under the influence
and three counts of murder
and bringing it back here live again.
This is one of three memorials here on Lancashire.
And Chandler, this one has a picture of 73-year-old Maria Peck,
just one of the victims.
There are two other women that were injured.
And as of yesterday, they both remained in the hospital.
One of them has been identified as Sylvia Figueroa.
She's in critical condition
and we're told by her family members that she's fighting
for her life.
So our thoughts and prayers go out to her.
There's some pretty big memorials there,
a big outpouring there, Gigi.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Now to the latest from Capitol Hill,
tension is rising in the wake of Democrats flipping
the House and the Senate.
So they're threatening impeachments
and investigations and the White House is fighting
back.
Douglas Zader joining us now from Washington with more on this.
Good morning.
Good morning, and no one is really waiting
for power to officially change hands
in January before the fighting has already begun.
But we've also seen a lot of moderate
Democrats coming to this new Congress.
Even interviewing new members of Congress,
it's hard to ignore what everyone here is facing,
the lame duck in the background.
We have the opportunity to do something
right now in a lame duck to demonstrate that we got it.
In the lame duck, that odd period
of time when the sun sets on the old Congress
and then rises in January to the new one.
Democrats are already preparing to flex their new muscles
to issue subpoenas and investigate the administration.
Donald Trump is clearly hiding something.
We're not going to be threatened or intimidated
because we are demanding accountability and oversight.
That came after a warning to Democrats
from White House counsel Will Scharf.
Threats to executive branch officials designed
to deter them from public service
or process designed merely to abuse or instill fear in the recipient
may cross the line into blatant criminality.
Democrats, though, celebrated another improbable win yesterday
in deep red Mississippi,
securing yet another Senate seat in a close contest.
They are undeterred and Republicans
are bracing. There'll be a third impeachment.
They can't help themselves. They're going to
go after everyone in the cabinet.
We've already seen that with Secretary of War Hegseth.
Yeah, and it's likely there are going to be additional impeachments.
There are certainly going to be investigations now
that Democrats will have the power to subpoena
and carry out these investigations
because they'll lead the various committees.
Bob and Jen.
Meantime, Doug, I wanted to ask you about this obviously big
news involving Jensen Wong, CEO of NVIDIA, stepping down.
We're already starting to see reaction in the market.
So the market value of NVIDIA has dipped below $4 trillion
for the first time in more than a year.
We've also seen the stock price plummeting this morning.
What's the latest there?
Yeah, and listen, you know, it often sets the direction of the market.
NVIDIA is such a huge player.
There are going to be investigations here.
Certainly the Justice Department,
Congress will probably try to investigate this as well
to try to figure out who knew what
when about the alleged relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
You know, this raises national security issues and so on well beyond
the impact this is obviously having on the market.
Yeah, and it raises questions about the future of this AI race
and building these data centers.
I mean, Jensen Huang had a decent relationship with President Trump,
always often stood side
by side with him, even
when some other AI leaders weren't necessarily in lockstep with
the administration.
Yeah, and, you know, clearly he was bullish on,
is bullish on the future of AI because it's built with his chips.
But there was this real question about how you balance NVIDIA's need
to reach out to more markets
versus making sure that those chips don't fall in the wrong hands.
Yeah.
Doug, we also wanted to ask you about this,
I guess you could call it kind of an awkward moment on Veterans Day.
I'm sure you saw the Secretary of War was,
or at least the group that he was with.
He was scolded by a soldier
who was guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
At one point somebody I guess laughed pretty audibly inside
the group and that's when the
US Army Sentinel
shouted at them, we want
to play that video.
So yeah, what's the reaction this morning to all of this, Doug?
Well, I will tell you this, first of all,
if you come to D.C. and you can only do one thing, do that.
It's such a powerful thing to see,
and whenever I'm pressed into playing tour guide here,
when you have family or friends come in,
I always ask if people have seen that.
I've seen it a number of times.
When you're there, it's a very, you know, reverential kind of thing.
But I've seen that happen, because you have tourists there that are...
taking pictures they're chatting
and so on yeah and one time i was there and i
saw the guard
did the sentinel big they refer to them
as do the exact same thing that is a
scripted reply that he gets
right uh... but it absolutely floors you
when it happens because there is
generally kind of silence and all the sudden this happens
but uh... but nevertheless uh... it certainly
is awkward that it happened as
the secretary of war was right there
uh...
It did sound like it was a woman that was laughing,
at least that's what the camera
picked up.
The Pentagon put out a statement saying that it
was absolutely appropriate how the Sentinel
reacted to that.
And again, I don't know how often that happens,
but I think it does happen with some regularity.
I'm sure it does.
I'm sure it does.
Because it's like a huge tourist spot, right?
Well, also, I mean, if you're just visiting,
you might not know any better, unless there's
signs or something posted.
There are signs.
You're right. There are signs there,
but you're seated with a bunch of tourists,
and a lot of people are excited to be there,
obviously, to see this event.
And it is something to take in, but you have to behave appropriately.
And those service members
who are walking that path there along the Tomb of the Unknown,
I mean, they take their job super seriously.
They are not going to veer from anything.
But doing what they are ordered to do, right?
Yeah, they refer to it as the old guard.
It's a very prestigious assignment for these Army service members.
And they do a lot of training for it.
It really is something to see.
And then when you realize that they're
not just doing it during the day.
They guard that tomb 24 hours a day in all weather.
And, you know, we've seen the pictures before
of them doing it in snowstorms and so on.
There are times I'm sure it is miserable,
but it is treated as quite an honor for them.
And I've been there, too.
You could hear a pin drop.
That's how quiet it is, as it should be.
I tell you, I've worn those uniforms before.
And in Boston, I went to school in Boston.
They're warm, but not if you're just standing there all by yourself.
And you've got to march.
For however long they're doing this, right,
their watch is probably like a couple of hours or something like that.
Overnight, it's a two-hour period.
During the day, I think during summer months, it's a half an hour.
But even that, when you look at the precision with which they
carry it out, even a half an hour is a long time to be doing.
Yeah, super impressive.
Well, Doug, thank you for giving us some more context on that.
We appreciate it.
Thanks for that insight. We appreciate it.
Yep, have a great day.
Thank you.
All right, take a short break.
7.15, we'll be right back.
Welcome back.
UCLA football is having an incredible season.
And how'd you like to check out their next game?
Well, Good Day LA has got your chance to win a pair of tickets
to see UCLA take on Illinois tomorrow at the Rose Bowl.
Enter on our website at foxla.com slash contest
or link through the QR code on the screen.
Good luck, guys.
All right, Samada, thank you.
Well, now to a real game changer in the field of self-care and therapy.
I saw this already.
It looks good.
It looks really good.
Using advanced body imaging
and artificial intelligence to relieve aches and pains.
Sandra.
You got a chance to try it out.
Yeah, I'm feeling good.
I am feeling good and loose.
All right.
The world of wellness is changing with advanced body imaging being used
to help with precision in treating people's needs.
Robotic massages for recovery and relaxation and some big names.
They're getting into the game.
We're here at the Huxton Hotel,
one of the exclusive places where we are going to get
an unbelievable experience, a robotic massage through escape.
We are Escape. We're a body intelligence company.
We deliver adaptive body therapy that's powered by
AI and robotics. When you get on the table,
it is going to scan about 1.2 million data points from
your body specifically and is going to customize
the experience to your muscular skeletal structure
in real time. It's going to fix my body because my body is broken.
I'm so sore all over, so I'm ready
for this. So it is a clothed session.
There are no lotions and no oils, which means you don't have to
I have to shower afterwards.
The apparel is specific so that it can get the accurate
body scan data and then customize the experience to you
while you're on the table.
Ta-da, I'm ready to go in my escape outfit.
I like a deep tissue usually, like a hard
massage.
Let's go with athletic recovery.
Athletic recovery. Let's start. It says 44% upper back.
54% lower back. So here you can actually get
a visual of all of the sessions that are available.
What you're going to experience now is our brand new Brady protocol,
which is a 30 minute
deep tissue performance session.
Hey, if Tom Brady does it and he can be active and
elite for so long, good enough for me. That feels so good right there.
You can feel that the speed of these strokes is much faster.
It can be booked.
As easy as booking an Uber.
You don't have to talk to anyone to explain what you're looking for.
You can change the pressure as many times as you'd like.
And essentially, it's a new type of recovery modality.
It's very similar to your first time in a Waymo where you're
experienced the technology in real time and asking yourself,
how does this feel?
Is this what I expected? Am I scared?
And typically that lasts about five or so minutes in any session.
And then because the touch points are heated,
most people actually fall into a relaxed mode very quickly.
Oh, yeah.
I'm getting a lower back now, and I'm just
about to fall asleep.
Tom Brady, as an investor and strategic advisor to the company,
helped us bring the Brady
Protocol to life, truly tapping into his years of experience,
23 Super Bowls, seven Super
Bowl rings, and he credits
so much of his career towards his longevity and ultimately
the recovery practice that he went through on a regular basis.
It sounds silly, but this is truly for everybody.
This is a performance solution for an elite athlete, but it's also
So for the mom who's picking up their child
on a regular basis that has some stress and
tension in their body,
truly every single one of us carries accumulated tension and
we need some sort of service or solution to help us feel better,
move better and go about
our day.
So good.
That's awesome.
A lot of questions here.
I know.
It does feel good.
It is a real game changer.
And the price point starts at around $49.
For how long?
For how many minutes?
It depends on what you want.
It's customizable from 15 to 60 minutes.
Yeah.
It's a range.
That's pretty great.
I keep pushing it up.
More, more, more.
Right.
Or pressure.
You can change the pressure yourself.
Yes, you can change the pressure.
Yes, through that touch screen.
And the good thing is you don't have to tip.
You don't have to chit-chat.
That's right.
There's no chit-chat.
I always feel like I'm going to have to tip.
So they need to chit chat when I'm getting a massage.
You just never know what you're going to get.
And the motion like it kind of does like the kneading like this.
And then it presses and they're heated too.
I like it like that lower back like right above the butt.
Like the scapula or whatever.
You can customize that.
Just focus on the glutes.
Get in there.
I like get in there.
Get in there.
I love this.
Get in there.
Get in there.
Get in the booty meat.
Get in there.
Because for me, like, I prefer a female massage therapist.
Get in there.
Get in there.
Get in there.
Get in there.
And then sometimes it's like, oh, no, we only have the male.
Get in there.
Do you let them stand on your back?
Oh, yeah, that's the Thai massage.
Yeah, they have the rope on the top, and then they, like, walk on you.
And they, like, go right on your neck.
Yeah, I like a heavy hand.
Well, this one you can customize your pressure, yeah.
You can customize the zones it's going
to work on as well, and then, yeah.
Hey, Sandra, where is it, by the way?
There's so many locations here in the L.A. area.
Wellness retreats, you know, some spas, a lot of hotels.
Also, Equinoxes.
You can hit the gym and then get a massage.
I bet you Tom Brady's got one in his house.
I bet he does.
Are they the only game in town?
Like, are they the only ones that have this kind of equipment or this?
That I've found?
Yeah.
Yes, yeah.
It's relatively new, you know.
I mean, it's been around for a few years, obviously, but perfecting it.
Yes.
Getting better and better.
The fact that there's multiple locations.
Yeah.
Check it out.
Okay.
Yep.
Game changer.
Definitely.
I am.
Sign me up.
That's what I said.
All right.
Let's talk about this.
Let's talk about our weather because it is changing.
It is on track as we have talked about
this week with not just one storm, but several
storms we're watching in the Pacific.
The first one is going to bring us some rain
as early as overnight tonight into tomorrow.
So today's dry.
Today, use the day to run around,
make sure your windshield wipers are in good working
order because the showers will start into Friday morning
or overnight tonight, mostly
light and scattered.
And then we get another round of rain Friday
into Saturday morning, and then we'll get
breaks here and there.
It's not a constant kind of a wash of rain,
but it'll be on again, off again, rain through
Saturday morning.
And then we'll get some breaks Saturday afternoon
into Sunday before that next system moves
in.
Monday into Tuesday and this one we're expecting some greater totals
and some snow as well not just up in the Sierra Nevada
but we could get some snow here locally getting down to perhaps
the 7,000 foot level by Tuesday morning and then look what's behind
that another system by next week Wednesday into Thursday
so I think that storm door is opening this weekend it's going
to stay pretty open at least through the foreseeable future
into the long range models that I'm seeing. Small craft advisory
So for those of you mariners know that that's in effect.
We have a wind advisory up towards Lake Los Angeles
if you're driving up towards the Tehachapis.
And then we've got an air quality alert still
in place for portions of L.A. County.
That's related to that fire, that warehouse fire earlier this week.
We also have some high surf that's building.
Right now it's about four to five,
maybe six foot sets in Ventura County.
It will be increasing later tonight
into tomorrow to about seven to ten feet.
Combine that with the stormy conditions and the high tide.
That's going to, again, cause some minor to moderate coastal flooding.
The temperatures today will be a little bit cooler than yesterday.
But still slightly above normal,
78 in Inglewood, 86 in Indio, 75 in Las Vegas.
Our day planner for Thousand Oaks out towards Ventura County.
We're starting out with lots of sunshine, 55 degrees at this hour.
And then getting to those mid-70s with partly sunny
to partly cloudy skies this afternoon.
Anaheim, similar conditions, 59,
currently getting to around 79 degrees later at 1 o'clock.
But staying mostly dry.
Again, the showers coming in tomorrow.
Big Bear, beautiful with plenty of sunshine,
getting up to 57 at noontime.
I'll show you the extended outlook in just a few moments.
But first, let's go back up to Stu in Sky Fox
to get another update on what's going on down below.
Stu.
Hey, good morning, Maria.
Good morning, everybody.
Take a look at a little bit of weather.
There's some clouds coming in, Maria.
Did you know about that?
Look at that.
We made our way out west.
We're looking out at...
The Thousand Oaks area.
Take a look at that 101 drive down there.
The Skybox traffic brought to us by My Home Sold.
That 101 through the Thousand Oaks area.
Oh, it's a beautiful ride from the Conejo all the way out to the valley.
Either way you play it, that's going to be north
or southbound on that 101.
Looking like a fantastic drive indeed.
Let's take a look at some traffic hotspots.
Hello, I'm Adrian Hernandez with MyHomeSold.com,
and we want to buy your house cash.
We save you money with no commissions, no fees,
no repairs, for free, no obligation, as is cash offer.
Go to MyHomeSold.com.
We're going to get right out to Washington, D.C.
Officials giving an update on a shooting
in the Logan Circle area in Washington.
When they did that, they located
the suspect suffering from a gunshot wound.
At this time, the scene is still fluid with that.
They're still evaluating that to make
sure we clear the entire building.
We do believe that the suspect is now contained in that location.
And, of course, emergency services will
be rendered as appropriate to that.
With that, again, this is very preliminary in the investigation.
We know that there was a lot of people
that were out here this morning when this came out.
Our detectives have been interviewing individuals
who may have seen or witnessed this.
We would ask anyone who did potentially in the area,
may have fled the area, to ensure they contact MPD.
You can reach us at 202-727-9099
so we can follow with you and interview you.
Obviously, there's a lot to this because there
are multiple different scenes.
What I mean by that is there are different
locations where people were shot.
I have to say that DC Fire and EMS was on the scene right away.
We were able to coordinate with them
to get medical treatment to the victims,
get them off the scene where they've all
been transported to local hospitals.
Of those victims, the four that are surviving,
one is determined to be in critical condition.
At this point, the other three do not appear to be,
they appear to have non-life-threatening injuries.
So with that, I'll take it up to any questions that you may have.
Mark Stone from Sky News, can you tell us any more about the gunman?
Was he known to you, age, ethnicity,
and can you give us any sense of what the motive might
have been at this stage?
Sure, as I said, we're very early in the investigation here.
We do know based on the lookouts, it's a white male.
We do have an idea who he is.
We believe there were some sort of a conflict
with the apartment building, but we don't
have much more than that.
That will be part of the continuing investigation.
Yes, ma'am.
We are seeing something.
Sure. Again, we're very early in the investigation.
We do know there was a conflict between him
and the homeowners association of that building.
But at this point, we're continuing to look into that. Yes, ma'am.
Yes ma'am.
Sure. So we do believe at some point there was a fire that was set.
The fire alarm went off in the building.
The sprinklers in the building did go off.
There is a large amount of water inside of that location.
So we do believe at some point there was a fire in the building.
It has been contained and put out at this time.
Thank you for your time.
We don't know that for sure.
Obviously, we would kind of expect that would
be it, but we can't say for sure at this point.
So officials there on the scene with the Metro Police in D.C.,
along with Mayor Muriel Bowser there as well,
updating us on a deadly shooting.
There was some concern here
because this is about a mile north of the White House.
And, you know, of course, the concern is, does it have anything to do?
with the safety of the administration and the president
and it looks like this was an incident where the shooter,
according to police there at the scene, had an issue with his HOA.
And five people have been shot reportedly, one has been killed,
and we will keep an eye on the situation there in the D.C. area.
Okay, meantime, I want to update you on this breaking news
that we're following out of Brooklyn, New York, this morning.
As you see some live pictures right there,
the number of people who've been killed
in a three-story building collapse is now up to eight people.
So right now there's this desperate search
to find any additional victims and survivors.
We are told that at least
Seven children were inside the building when it collapsed,
including a toddler who's since been rescued.
Firefighters are digging through the rubble
trying to find anybody who still might be trapped.
We've got Peter Cudahy live near that collapse in Brooklyn
with the latest on this search.
Peter, what can you tell us?
Yeah, good morning, Bob Jen.
As you know, as you mentioned before, Mayor Zoran Mamdani,
he announced earlier this morning
that eight people have died from the building collapse,
17 injured, as you mentioned as well.
Now, we're expecting to hear from him again around noon,
so there could be an update to those numbers.
We could be hearing more.
But he really credits the fast response by FDNY yesterday,
getting out here within a minute of the first 911 call
to saving potentially more lives.
And so, as you mentioned before, there were children in this building.
Luckily, none of them have died.
Of the people with injuries, there are five people that we
do know did have life-threatening injuries as well.
Now, this building that we're talking about that collapsed,
on the very bottom at the street level, it was a store.
And above it were apartment buildings right next to the building.
That was a construction site where they
were doing some excavation work and that site has
had multiple violations in the past,
basically work order stoppage notes.
And so now again,
the Department of Buildings has come in and stopped work there.
They're going to do two comprehensive reviews both
on the building that collapsed and then
We're in that construction zone,
but as of right now, we still don't know what caused
this collapse, and first responders are here.
They're doing their best to ensure that nobody
is left under that building, guys.
Peter, have all people been accounted for?
So in other words, is there anybody
who's still missing who might have been inside that
building?
According to city officials, everybody has been accounted for.
However, as the fire chief mentioned last night,
that doesn't mean they're going to
stop looking.
He said that this is going to take multiple days.
It's going to be a search.
They're going to continue until they are sure that nobody's in there.
But luckily, no, there is nobody reported missing at this time.
And Pete- Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, Pete, you're saying there's
no official cause yet for this collapse.
And yet they do know that next door, was there an open pit, was it?
Like, because they were doing construction
and they had completely demolished.
There was next door, there was like a pit or something like that.
And so it may have compromised the stability
or the foundation of that particular apartment building.
Yeah, so it's unknown if there's a correlation yet,
but yes, next door they were doing construction
work.
They were excavating the area.
It was a three-story building that was being approved.
So they were digging down
and then they were going to eventually build a building up.
But right now, again,
officials aren't saying that these two things are connected, however,
there was construction being done next door.
And they are going to investigate this.
As I said before, the Department of Buildings,
they're looking into the history of both of
the buildings and they're going to see if there is a connection there.
Again, it's been maybe like 12 hours.
So it's gonna take some time
to figure out what the actual cause is here.
But again, they have started to look into that and to investigate that.
I'm just curious, how old was this building that collapsed?
I mean, has it been there for a long time?
Yeah, this is close to a 100-year-old building.
I mean, this area in general, most of the buildings are very old here.
So yeah, it is an older building
and that's what they're concerned that the surrounding
buildings as well because there is an apartment next door
that that could possibly come down.
So really, right now,
the main focus by the FDNY and first responders here is to make
sure that there isn't a second collapse.
Everything stays up to this point, but I mean, if you saw,
you can't see it from my point of view right here,
but where that other apartment building is, the entire,
the framework of it is open. You can see it.
Yeah, we're looking at it right now. And so those people.
Yeah.
So those people, obviously, they need to go somewhere else.
So the Red Cross has been here treating them basically
as displaced people, and they're
going to have to...
It's gonna take a lot of work to get
these people back on their feet, and then also to
figure out what needs to be done with this building,
whether that is inevitably tearing
the rest of it down, or trying to fix it somehow.
Just a terrible, terrible story coming out of Brooklyn, New York there.
All right, Peter, thank you.
Thanks, Pete.
Okay, we'll take a short break.
We'll be right back.
Let's get into some entertainment, shall we?
Entertainment sponsored by Yamabal Resort and Casino.
The latest Hunger Games movie will
be hitting theaters eight days from now.
Ashley Dvorkin has a preview.
Go!
The Hunger Games franchise returns with Sunrise on the Reaping.
The prequel stars Joseph Zeta
as a young Haymitch Abernathy during the 50th Hunger Games.
I had five journals, and I had one for the movies,
one for the books, one for the script,
one for character and ideas,
and then one that would map them all together.
The challenge was just trying to figure out
the balance between where I come in and where Woody's...
Energy, in essence, comes in.
Director Francis Lawrence says his top priority was staying true
to Suzanne Collins' original work as best he could.
Making sure that the themes,
the reason that Suzanne has written the books,
making sure that those ideas
and philosophies are coming through and making people think.
Lawrence adds the hardest part
of any book adaptation is figuring out what to cut.
The original cut was, I think, four hours, 12 minutes or something.
And so to cut down to 2.38, that's like where it's been.
So, there'll be some deleted scenes.
McKenna Grace and Ben Wong shared
there were plenty of behind-the-scenes moments
which didn't make the cut, but made
for great memories.
Ben taught me how to do lightsaber tricks.
So, we had a lot of off-time whenever Joe was doing
his, you know, leading man
coverage, whatever. He's crying.
He's like, you know, giving an award-winning performance.
Yeah. And Ben and I
would hang out all the time in the tribute center
and there were batons. And he
knows how to do katana tricks
for some reason.
He taught me how to spin it behind my head, how to do it all.
It was so much fun.
So nothing you see in the movie, but...
may the odds be
In Hollywood, Ashley Dvorkin, Fox News.
Some faces I recognize, some faces I don't recognize.
It's just been around for so long, right?
Yeah, it has.
Because Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence was great.
It was the only one I've seen.
Excellent, excellent.
It makes me want to re-watch the first one, actually.
Another big movie opening over Thanksgiving is Focker and Law.
Oh, the Fokkers.
We love them.
They inspired the question for our poll this morning.
Which is pop, pop, popping off, by the way.
Yeah.
Do you get along with your in-laws?
Oh boy.
All good, all the time.
Okay.
Small doses or don't ask.
Okay, so we got some comments.
Miss from Long Beach.
They're cool.
She's one of them.
Mostly.
Doesn't want to disclose her name, huh?
But they constantly overstay their welcome.
A kid's party is two hours, not eight.
Goodbye.
Oh my gosh.
It's funny how she identified herself as a miss.
I know.
Jesus from Sun Valley says, my mother-in-law loves me.
I'm one of the lucky few to say that.
Oh, Jesus.
That's awesome.
Jennifer, Westlake Village, my mother-in-law screamed at me.
Thanks, Jennifer.
Jennifer, what did you do?
Jennifer, what?
Hey, come on.
Don't blame Jennifer.
What did you do?
From one Jennifer to another.
You're like, maybe you didn't do the stuffing right.
You know, hey,
who knows what kind of conversations come up during Thanksgiving.
Amaris from Corona says,
God, I still love them after all they did to create my soulmates.
That's right.
That's true.
Wendy from Simi Valley, shout out to my in-laws,
they're truly the best, funny, loving, caring, just the best.
Vanessa from Southgate says, my father-in-law is great,
but my mother-in-law is very fake.
What does your husband think about this?
Tamara from Kernville, I had two sets of in-laws.
The first set for my first marriage, absolutely loved.
I only liked my mother-in-law in my second marriage.
I am a widow now and I don't plan on having any more in-laws.
Oh my gosh.
That's the end of the road for you, Tamara.
Oh my goodness.
I love all these comments.
Thank you.
Yeah.
What was your favorite?
My favorite was Jennifer's.
Jennifer's, yeah.
My mother-in-law screamed at me on Thanksgiving.
I wonder what happened.
Tell us what happened, Jennifer.
Yeah, I want more details.
We need a follow-up, Jennifer.
What was it all about?
Yeah.
Or was it something that just built up?
And what ended it?
Stu, how you doing?
Well, you know what?
I have to add something to that.
I have, you know, I have a...
Some turmoil in my personal life,
but I got to tell you, mother-in-laws and I, we all
still get along.
It is the most unusual thing ever, but I love the love.
Let's talk about a little bit of traffic.
This one brought to us by Jacoby and Myers Injury Lawyers.
Maybe that other Jennifer might need to use them.
Let's take a look at the 405.
We're in the West L.A. area, north and southbound.
This portion.
Moving along, okay, southbound,
you're going to be topping out at freeway speeds
as you make your way over to the 10.
Northbound, wide open, moving well,
yeah, but definitely freeway speeds.
Let's keep that one in mind if that's part of your ride.
Let's take a look at some traffic hotspots.
Insurance offer for a bike accident, $5,000.
Jacoby and Meyers result, $500,000.
Call to see what your case is worth, 1-800-5-MILLION.
Because you deserve justice.
And welcome back to you. I'm meteorologist Maria Quiban.
Good day LA weather is brought to you by My Home Sold.
What a beautiful view from the back of the Hollywood sign. It is dry.
It is mostly sunny out there and it will be dry today until the first
of a series of storms heads our way later tonight into tomorrow.
Good day LA weather is brought to you by,
did I say that already? My Home Sold.
Sometimes I say it twice.
All right, let's take a look at the nation right now.
If you are traveling, 41 degrees in Bismarck, North Dakota,
if you're headed there for that high temperature,
same for Minneapolis.
If you're headed to the Northeast,
unfortunately, we do have some rain
falling across the East, especially out towards New York.
Boston, the New England states,
this could develop into a nor'easter there in the east coast.
79 in Tampa today, 79 in Dallas.
Phoenix, 86 degrees, one of the warmer spots across the nation.
Our weather is going to change.
So as forecast, we are going to look for chances
of rain beginning overnight tonight into tomorrow.
So our storm door is opening, and it's
going to stay open for quite a while
because we're watching a series of storms
that will be bringing us on again, off again rain
starting tonight, early tomorrow.
Into Saturday and really into well into next week.
We also have some high surf
and a beach hazard statement along the coast.
If you are headed to the beach today, that you have to contend with.
Don't get in the water unless you're an experienced surfer.
Here is our computer model.
It starts today.
We're looking at the rain bands still offshore.
It's going to move inland later during
the overnight hours into tomorrow.
And then we'll get those showers on again,
off again through Saturday morning.
I do think the latter part of the day
on Saturday will be largely dry into Sunday.
We'll see some sprinkles here and there,
but for the most part, that next system moves
in Monday into Tuesday.
This one will give us more widespread rain,
also some mountain snow up to the Sierra Nevada,
but we could be looking at some snow here,
at least some white-capped mountains here
and over the San Bernardino Mountains,
LA Mountains, perhaps above 7,000 feet.
A little bit of a break, I think,
between systems with that next one moving in Wednesday
into Thursday with more snow for the Sierra Nevada,
another system moving in Thursday
Friday on the 20th and 21st of next week.
So as you can see, more upstream and more activity
expected. We're getting these swells, by the way,
from the west northwest, the storms that are
developing in the Gulf of Alaska.
Moving down, these swells get generated by the winds related
to these storms as they move across the northern Pacific area.
And we are going to continue to see
rounds of waves from these systems, as you can see,
through the end of next week, even.
into the week of Thanksgiving
as I'm looking at some of the longer
range models. So when I say that storm
door is open, it looks like now we're going to get
ready for just a series of storms
with breaks in between.
Beach hazard statement, as I mentioned, we've got a high tide
coming in between 9 and 10 a.m.
Surf heights in Ventura County, higher,
4 to 6 feet. It will be increasing
to around 10 plus feet this weekend.
So keep that in mind if you
are along the coast. Downtown LA
today, 79 degrees, mostly dry.
We'll get those showers tonight into
Tomorrow, a little bit of a break,
I think later part of Saturday into Sunday before that next system
into Monday and then perhaps again Wednesday night into Thursday.
So that's what I mean with a series of storms.
83 for the valleys, Inland Empire used today to make sure you've got
those umbrellas and they're not broken like mine.
So I got to run out actually and get a couple more for myself.
73 tomorrow. So that bigger cool down with that rain moving
in mostly scattered for the tomorrow system and then more wide
Widespread, I would say, Saturday,
Monday to Tuesday up into the mountains.
That's no chance.
Snow showers for our mountains here in San Bernardino.
That would be nice.
74 in the high desert areas to that 84 in Palm Springs today.
Perhaps a 20% chance early Saturday morning in Palm Springs.
I think we'll hold off on the more widespread rain
by next week, Monday into Tuesday.
All right, now let's do some TV
shout-outs before you head out the door.
We've been honoring our veterans this week,
so we just want to say hello to Dylan and Nicholas Schwinn.
Look at that. Thank you so much for your service.
