Good morning. It is Thursday, January thirtieth. Gonna be sunny

may be mixing with snow in certain spots Tomorrow. Highs
tomorrow well into the forties, they say, and then the
thirties for the weekend. Top stories. Tragic news this morning,
an American Airlines flight with sixty four people on board,

underway this morning. By the way, searching in the icy
cold waters.

The challenges are access. The water that we're operating in
is about eight feet deep, there is wind, there is
pieces of ice out there, so it's just dangerous and
hard to work in. And because there's not a lot
of lights, you're out there searching every square inch of
space to see if you can find anybody.

a US figure skating team. The American Airline and CEO
