>>> GOOD EVENING.

IT IS TUESDAY OCTOBER 12th.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

A DAY OF MOURNING AND OF SEEKING ANSWERS AS RESIDENTS IN ONE NEIGHBORHOOD TRY TO PROCESS WHAT HAPPENED ON THEIR STREET.

FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS TURNED THEIR ATTENTION TO FACT-FINDING AND WHAT CAUSED A SMALL PLANE TO GO DOWN.

TONIGHT, WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE VICTIMS.

K PBS REPORTER MATT HOFFMAN IS LIVE IN SANTEE AS THE SCENE OF THE CRASH TO PROVIDED UPDATE.

MATS?

>> Reporter: MEYER WE ARE OUT HERE AT THE SCENE OF THE DEADLY CRASH.

THEY ARE CONDUCTING INVESTIGATIONS OF THE CRASH.

IF YOU LOOK BEHIND ME THEY ARE REMOVING A BUNCH OF DEBRIS FROM WHERE THE PLANE WENT DOWN AND HIT A COUPLE OF HOMES.

OFFICIALS SAID THEY WANT TO COLLECT AIR-TRAFFIC COMMUNICATIONS AS WELL AS THE PILOTS MEDICAL RECORDS.

THOSE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES ON HER FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE HOSPITAL ARE TRYING TO COME TO TERMS WITH WHAT HAPPENED HERE.

>> A PLANE CRASHED INTO THIS UPS TRUCK AND THIS HOUSE BY OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> IS ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE?

>> NEIGHBORS WHO HEARD THE CRASH CAME TO THE RESCUE PULLING THE COUPLE FROM THE BURNING HOUSE.

>> THE PEOPLE WHO RISK THEIR LIVES TO SAVE THEM I HAVE NO WORDS.

YOU JUST CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH.

THANK YOU ISN'T ENOUGH.

THESE PEOPLE JUST WRIST EVERYTHING FOR PEOPLE THEY DON'T KNOW.

>> THE COUPLE WERE TAKEN TO UC SAN DIEGO MEDICAL CENTER AND THEY ARE CONSCIOUS AND TALKING AFTER SUFFERING THIRD-DEGREE BURNS BUT HE IS WORRIED.

>> IS THE EMOTIONAL SIDE THAT YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW SOMEBODY IS GOING TO REACT TO ALL OF THIS ONCE THE SHOCK FINALLY WEARS OFF AND YOU SEE THE HOUSE LIKE THIS.

>> THE PLANE CRASH KILLED TWO PEOPLE THE PILOT AND A UPS DRIVER WHO WAS IN THE WRONG PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME.

FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT CAUSED THE CRASH BUT WE KNOW FROM AIR- TRAFFIC RECORDINGS THAT THE PILOT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED FROM YUMA, ARIZONA KEPT CLIMBING AND DESCENDING HIS AIR CRASH.

>> THEN THERE WAS THE IMPACT WHICH NEIGHBORS DESCRIBED AS A LOUD BOOM FOLLOWED BY SURE VIEW.

>> I WAS ABLE TO SEE MY HOUSE FROM THE BACKSIDE.

THAT IS WHEN I KNEW RIGHT AWAY IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS.

OBVIOUSLY IT WAS PRETTY TRAUMATIC.

>> COURTNEY AND CODY CAMPBELL WITHIN THE SECOND HOUSE COMPLETELY DESTROYED WERE OUT OF THE HOUSE AND AT WORK WHEN THE PLANE CRASHED.

CODY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME EARLY AND HIS WIFE WAS ENSURE IF HE WAS SAFE.

THE COUPLE WERE JUST MARRIED IN MAY AND MOVED IN HERE A FEW DAYS LATER.

SOMETIMES THEY KNOW THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MUCH DIFFERENT ENDING.

>> WE MAY BE ABLE TO PUT SOME OF THE PIECES TOGETHER BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY LIKE I SAID WE COULD BE DOING MUCH DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS WITH US RIGHT NOW.

>> RIGHT.

THOSE THINGS AREN'T IMPORTANT.

TO GET THEM BACK WOULD BE AMAZING BUT IN THE END THIS IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

>> THE CAMPBELLTON OTHERS IMPACTED SAY THEY ARE?

SO GRATEFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT AS THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF REBUILDING THEIR LIVES.

>> WE HEAR YOU ALL AND WE ARE SUPER THANKFUL.

>> THAT YOUNG FAMILY IS HAVING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO SAY FOR THEIR FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

THEY CAN'T RETURN TO THEIR HOME.

LINCOLN WHO WERE KILLED IN A HELICOPTER CRASH.

ON AUGUST 31st THEIR SEAHAWK HELICOPTER CRASHED OFF OF THE DECK OF THE CARRIER 60 MILES OFF THE COAST OF SAN DIEGO.

THE BODIES WERE SENT TO DOVER AIR FORCE BASE TO BE IDENTIFIED BEFORE BEING TURNED OVER TO THE FAMILIES.

THE ACCIDENT IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.

AN INITIAL REPORT SAYS THE HELICOPTER TOUCHED DOWN BEFORE IT'S A SWINGING ROTOR CLIPPED THE DECK AND IT CRASHED INTO THE OCEAN.

>> AN INCREASE IN DUI CHECKPOINTS MAY BE COMING TO SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

ALEXANDRA RON HAS MORE ON HOW LAW ENFORCEMENT IS WORKING TO PREVENT MORE DEATHS.

>> THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN DUI HOMICIDES.

IT IS A TRAGIC REALITY THAT COULD BE SEEN HERE BY THIS CAR.

>> THE DRIVER, A 25-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.

SHE WAS INTOXICATED AND INVOLVED IN A CRASH THAT INJURED FOUR PEOPLE.

IT WAS A DUI CRASH THAT INVOLVED NO FATALITIES BUT SOME ARE STIFF AND SAID THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

>> THEY ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH PEOPLE'S LIVES.

>> SHE SAYS THEY ARE SEEING TRENDS OF YOUNGER DRIVERS WHO ARE INTOXICATED WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUGS.

ON AVERAGE THOSE ARRESTED HAVE A BAC DOUBLE THE .08 LEGAL LIMIT.

IN NORTH COUNTY THEY ARE SEEING LEVELS EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT.

SHE ANNOUNCED A NEW GRANT FROM THE OFFICE OF TRAFFIC STAY 52 PREVENT DUI DEATHS AND PROSECUTE IMPAIRED DRIVERS.

>> THIS YEAR'S GRANT FUNDING TOTALS 530,000 AND $600.

THAT IS GOING TO ALLOW RESOURCES THAT IT NEEDS TO CONTINUE FIGHTING THE BATTLE.

>> WITH FUNDING LIKE THIS OUR FOCUS WOULD BE TO INCREASE DUI CHECKPOINTS.

WE RECENTLY CONDUCTED A CHECKPOINT LAST MONTH RESULTING IN FIVE DUI ARRESTS.

WHO KNOWS HOW MANY LIES THAT SAVED.

>> IN THE PAST DUI CHECKPOINTS HAVE BEEN A CONCERN FOR UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS.

TERESA ADAMS WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT SAYS IMMIGRATION STATUS ISN'T A CONCERN.

>> THERE IS NO LUCK OR EVEN CONCERN ABOUT WHAT SOMEONE'S NATIONALITY, RACE, ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

WE ARE LOOKING AT SOMEONE WHO IS INTOXICATED.

MORE THAN 24,000 NURSES AND OTHER HEALTHCARE WORKERS AT KAISER PERMANENTE AT CALIFORNIA AND OREGON HAVE OVERWHELMINGLY AUTHORIZED A STRIKE.

THE ISSUES STEM FROM OVER PAY AND WORKING CONDITIONS STRAINED BY THE PANDEMIC.

IN A STATEMENT USING THE COVID- 19 VACCINE A SAFE, EFFECTIVE AND THE BEST DEFENSE AGAINST THE VIRUS BUT SHOULD REMAIN VOLUNTARY AND NEVER FORCED.

THE PRESIDENT URGED ALL BUSINESSES WITH 100 OR MORE WORKERS TO ADOPT THE VACCINE MANDATE OR REQUIRE WEEKLY TESTING.

NOW QUESTIONS OVER WHAT THE GOVERNOR'S PROHIBITION MEANS GOING FORWARD.

>>> MODERNA WANTS TO USE A HALF DOSE AS A BOOSTER SAYING IT WOULD INCREASE PROTECTION AND KEEP THE VACCINE SUPPLY HIGHER.

THE FDA IS ALSO CONSIDERING JOHNSON & JOHNSON'S BID FOR BOOSTER SHOTS.

>>> SAN DIEGO HAS A HUGE MILITARY POPULATION.

WE HAVE NEW NUMBERS ON HOW THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE VACCINE MANDATE.

THE DEADLINE FOR ALL U.S. ARMED FORCES TO RECEIVE THE VACCINE IS NOVEMBER 28.

ACCORDING TO THE WASHINGTON POST, THE NAVY IS LEADING THE WAY AND 90% COMPLIANCE.

HE WARNS DRIVERS TO LOOK OUT FOR TRAFFIC CHANGES WHILE THE CARPOOL LANES ARE BEING COMPLETED.

>> WE WILL REDUCE SPEED LIMIT THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION ZONE TO 55 MILES AN HOUR JUST LIKE WE HAVE DONE TO THE SOUTH.

SERVICE CAN EXPECT SOME NEW ORANGE STRIPING WE ARE PILOTING JUST TO GIVE PEOPLE A HEADS UP THAT YOU ARE IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE.

>> IT IS A PART OF THE NORTH CORRIDOR PROJECT THAT INCLUDE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE LAGOON.

THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED BY 2023.>>> FROM SAN DIEGO TO OTHER CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY MANY PASSENGERS ON SOUTHWEST AIRLINES ARE EXPERIENCING DELAYS AND CANCELLATIONS.

THE AIRLINES SAYS IT IS FIXING THE PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THE CANCELLATION OF NEARLY 2400 FLIGHTS OVER THE PREVIOUS THREE DAYS.

SOUTHWEST SAYS BAD WEATHER AND AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL ISSUES IN FLORIDA ON FRIDAY CHAPPED PLANES AND PILOTS OUT OF POSITION CAUSING CASCADING PROBLEMS FOR FIGHTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

>> MORE AMERICANS ARE QUITTING THEIR JOBS THAN EVER BEFORE.

A RECORD 4.3 MILLION PEOPLE LEFT THEIR JOBS IN AUGUST ACCORDING TO JOB OPENINGS AND LABOR TURNOVER REPORT.

THAT IS SHY OF 3% OF THE WORKFORCE.

IS THE HIGHEST RATE SINCE THE REPORT BEGAN IN 2000.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO LEFT WERE IN FOOD SERVICES, WHOLESALE TRADES, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AS WELL AS EDUCATION.

THE REPORT FOUND THEY WERE MORE THAN 10 MILLION JOB OPENINGS AT THE END OF AUGUST.>>> WEATHER- RELATED DISASTERS LIKE WILDFIRES, HURRICANES, HEAT WAVES AND FLOODING ARE TAKING A BIG TOLL ON THE U.S. A NEW REPORT ESTIMATES THE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND INFRASTRUCTURE $105 BILLION OF LOAN WITH THREE MONTHS LEFT IN THE YEAR.

>> DROUGHTS INVOLVED FIRES.

>> THE FREQUENCY OF FIRES HAS SKYROCKETED.

SO FAR THIS YEAR.

THE COST IS ADDING UP FAST.

ACCORDING TO NOAA'S NATIONAL CENTERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION, 18 SEPARATE BILLION-DOLLAR WEATHER AND CLIMATE DISASTERS OCCURRED IN THE FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2021 AND IT IS TAKING A TOLL ON THE U.S. ECONOMY.

>> THIS YEAR WE HAVE PRODUCTIONS BUT WE DON'T KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO GET THAT.

IS KIND OF LIKE MY AMERICAN DREAM RIGHT HERE.

I HATE TO SEE IT LOOKS LIKE THAT.

>> MILLER PREDICTS 2021 WILL BE LAST YEAR'S RECORD OF 22 INDIVIDUAL BILLION-DOLLAR DISASTERS AND SO FAR THE U.S. HAS ALREADY SURPASSED THE DOLLAR AMOUNT SPENT ON CLIMATE EVENTS IN 2020.

>> WE ARE SEEING WILDLAND FIRES IN CALIFORNIA ARE GROWING IN SIZE COMPLEXITY AND FREQUENCY.

>> HURRICANE IDA WAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE DISASTER SO FAR THIS YEAR CAUSING MORE THAN $60 BILLION IN DAMAGE AND COUNTY AS IT TORE A DEADLY PATH FROM THE GULF COAST ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTHEAST.

>> I THINK FEWER AND FEWER PEOPLE ARE CLIMATE DENIERS THESE DAYS.

I DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN SIT ON THE SIDELINES AND SAY WE DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING.

>> EVACUATIONS UNDERWAY AS YET ANOTHER LARGE WILDFIRE BURNS.

THIS ONE NOT FAR FROM HIGHWAY 101 IN SANTA BARBARA COUNTY.

WITHIN 2000 ACRES CHARGE SO FAR PROMPTING EVACUATIONS OF EL CAPITAN STATE PARK ALONG WITH CAMPSITES, CATTLE AND FIRES.

BLUSTERY WINDS MAKING ME FIREFIGHT DIFFICULT AND RIGHT NOW NO CAUSE HAS BEEN REPORTED.

ERIC ANDERSON EXPLAINS NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS ARE THE BIG WINNERS.

>> THE FIRST APPROVE THE IDEA IN JULY.

IT CREATES A BLUEPRINT TO PHASE OUT DIESEL VEHICLES WORKING ON PORT FACILITIES.

THAT WOULD ELIMINATE A DANGEROUS SOURCE OF PARTICLE POLLUTION AND LONG-SUFFERING PORTSIDE COMMUNITIES BUT FINALIZING THE PLAN IS JUST ONE STEP.

>> IT IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF WORK TO GET THERE AND WE ARE COMMITTED TO DOING IT AND WE HAVE TO DO IT.

PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH IMPACTS ON THE PORTSIDE COMMUNITIES ARE UNACCEPTABLE.

>> THE PORT NEEDS TO COMMIT TO A DIESEL FREE FUTURE AND HE WANTS TO DO IT BEFORE STATE MANDATES REQUIRED.

COMMUNITY ADVOCATES WANT MORE DETAILS IN THE POLICY SO PROGRESS CAN BE TRACKED.

>> DEVELOPING A PLAN -- A TRANSITION PLAN WITH SEEING TASKS, METRICS, BENCHMARKS THROUGH 2030 THAT WILL ILLUSTRATE HOW THE PORT WILL MEET ITS 2030 GOAL THAT WAS PUT FORTH BY THE BOARD IN JULY.

K PBS ARTS REPORTER GIVES US A PREVIEW.

>> WHEN BONITO BATISTA AND EMMA FRANCISCO STARTED MAKING FILMS YEARS AGO THEY FELT LIKE THEY HAD NO PLATFORM TO SHOW THEIR WORK.

WHEN THEY CAME TO SAN DIEGO THEY DECIDED THEY WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO THE FILIPINO AND FILM MAKING COMMUNITIES.

THEY FOUNDED SAN DIEGO FILIPINO CINEMA.

>> OUR MISSION IS TO DISCOVER AND EXHIBIT COMPELLING FILMS FROM THE GLOBAL FILIPINO FILMMAKERS TO THE DIVERSE COMMUNITY IN SAN DIEGO.

>> THIS WEEK THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION HOSTS THE FIRST EVER FILIPINO FILM FESTIVAL WHICH WILL SHOWCASE WITHIN 40 FILMS IMPERSONATE ANOTHER 30 ONLINE.

>> WHAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IS WE HAVE GIVEN SAN DIEGO SORT OF A PLATFORM TO SEE AND BE CURIOUS AND FIND OUT WHAT WE HAVE GLOBALLY.

THERE ARE A LOT OF FILIPINOS GLOBALLY.

>> THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT.

HOPEFULLY TO INSPIRE YOUNG FILMMAKERS TO SHARE THEIR OWN STORIES AND HOPEFULLY GIVE THEM THE TOOLS THEY NEED IN ORDER TO BE A SUSTAINABLE FILMMAKER.

>> PUTTING ON A FESTIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME CAN BE A CHALLENGE.

>> WE ARE INSPIRED BUT NERVOUS BECAUSE THIS IS A TEST.

WE WANTED TO SEE IF WE CAN ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IN PARTICIPATING IN FAMILIAR STORIES OR STORIES THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD OR STORIES MOVING FORWARD COMING FROM THE YOUNGER GENERATION.

WE DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE GOING TO ENGAGE.

WILL THEY ENGAGE RUNNING TO THE THEATER?

THAT WILL BE AWESOME.

THEY WILL NOT GO.

>> BO NITA AND I HAVE DREAMT ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME SINCE WE WERE IN THE PHILIPPINES FILMING OUR FILMS AND WATCHING THE AUDIENCE.

HOW FILMS MADE SUCH AN IMPACT TO THEM.

>> WE REALIZED THE IMPACT AND HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE OUR MOTIVATION FOR EXISTENCE BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT WE SEE AND WE HEAR ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FILMMAKER IS THERE AND WE LEARN ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE MEANING ON THE SUBTEXT.

IT IS A SHARED HUMANITY.

WE SHARE THE SAME EMOTIONS.

WE SHARE THE SAME STRUGGLE AND HURT AND PAIN AND LOVE AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

>> IT IS SIMPLE BUT IT IS POWERFUL AT THE SAME TIME.

>> THIS THURSDAY'S OPENING NIGHT IN THE AWARD WILL BE AT THE MUSEUM IN BALBOA PARK.

CHRISTINA GODINEZ CORPORATE AND COMMUNITY LIAISON FOR THE MUSEUM IS EXCITED TO SHOW OFF THE RENOVATED VENUES AT THE MAIN GATE.

>> I AM EXCITED TO SHOW THIS OPPORTUNITY THAT THIS SPACE BELONGS TO THEM.

IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT -- BUT IT IS ABOUT SHARING THE SPACE WITH EVERYONE.

>> BATISTA IS EXCITED ABOUT THE LINEUP STARTING WITH THE OPENING-NIGHT FILM.

>> IT IS A FEATURE DOCUMENTARY THAT REPRESENTS ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN, MUSIC, AGING, DISCRIMINATION.

>> HE IS NOT ONLY THRILLED TO BE SHOWING THE FILMS IT ALSO TO BE SHOWING THEM IN PERSON.

>> THE REASON IS WE MIGHT BE FOR PEOPLE IN THIS THEATER BUT WE SHARE THE FLUCTUATIONS AND THE EMOTIONAL UPS AND DOWNS OF THE FILM.

I AM EXCITED TO EXPERIENCE THAT WITH AUDIENCE.

>> WITH AN IMPRESSIVE AND DIVERSE SLATE OF FILMS THE SAN DIEGO FILIPINO FILM FESTIVAL WILL ATTRACT FAR MORE THAN 4 PEOPLE.

IT IS BY ALLOWING AN EVEN GREATER REPRESENTATION OF THE FILIPINO PERSPECTIVE.
