    Recovery teams have spent the day in the frigid waters outside Reagan National Airport, engaged in the grim activity of retrieving the 67 victims of last night's deadly collision between an army Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane. Among the victims, figure skaters returning from a training camp in Kansas. And according to The New York Times, a preliminary investigation into the crash shows the air traffic control tower was understaffed. The report says the controller handling helicopters was also directing commercial planes, jobs usually assigned to two separate people. Plus, the Blackhawk helicopter involved in the crash is known as the workhorse of the military. Powered by two turbine engines, it can climb 19-thousand feet and lift more than nine thousand pounds. Now, it's at the center of the first major crisis for the new Trump administration. And the crash was similar to the crash back in 1982 - when an Air Florida jet crashed into the Potomac in the middle of a very snowy day in January when the jet, weighed down by ice, couldn't get airborne and crashed into the 14th Street Bridge.

    A situation in Florida that's left everyone who hears about it shaking their heads. A high school principal and a teacher are facing criminal charges following a party at the principal's home. Cops broke up the party which investigators say featured booze, drugs and more than 100 kids. Ann Mercogliano spoke exclusively with the teacher who was arrested. Both the principal and teacher have pleaded not guilty. And the most controversial of President Trump's cabinet nominees was in front of a Senate Committee today: only 3 in 10 Americans think Robert Kennedy Jr. is a good pick for health and human services secretary. Today when he went to Capitol Hill, his wife actress Cheryl Hines was right there with him. Plus, it’s not uncommon in many places to see bears. 18 states report an increase in bear encounters. But this was not just an encounter. Les Trent reports on a man who was attacked by a bear that turned out to have rabies. And an all-out brawl at a town hall meeting, and somewhere in this melee is the mayor who reportedly lost her wig as fists were flying. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Hammer throws are a regular event at track and field competitions - where athletes spin and release a metal ball attached to a steel wire. Now it's lead to tragedy when the ball went over the barrier and hit a dad in the stands. As Les Trent reports, he was killed while shielding his wife and son. And it was one of President Trump's first executive actions after returning to the White House - renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. But is it sticking? Plus, a mystery in Los Angeles, an image on Google Earth shows the word “help” scrawled out over and over in giant letters. But who did it? Jim Moret is at the shipping container yard where the cryptic message was etched into the dirt. And in Los Angeles, more than 16,000 structures have now been destroyed in the fires.

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrated the Chiefs going to the Super Bowl with a smooch right on the field. When the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in two weeks, Swifties now have extra reason to tune in, guaranteeing a ratings bonanza on Super Bowl Sunday.

However, after President Trump threatened to impose a 25% tariff on all goods coming from Colombia, the crisis may now be averted. Plus, there are lots of celebrations in Los Angeles over the sky opening up and delivering a downpour of rain - ending an eight month long dry spell that has been a disaster for firefighters. However, there's now concern water is mixing with ash creating a dangerous toxic soup. And if you've bought eggs at the grocery store this weekend you may have had to dig deeper into your pockets.

    On his first official trip since returning to the White House, President Trump, along with First Lady Melania, headed to hurricane ravaged North Carolina and to Los Angeles to see the devastation of the wildfires first hand. The Trumps dressed appropriately for disaster zones, the president wore special boots while Melania wore a green parka jacket. And here's something else the president saw today - encampments in North Carolina filled with Americans now living in RVs and tents after losing their homes last September when Hurricane Helene struck. With record freezing temperatures hitting the state, they say they are freezing and need help. They also say they feel abandoned. Plus, for the people of Southern California, rain is finally expected in the forecast for the weekend. However, while Mother Nature will help extinguish the flames, there's now a new worry - landslides. Jim Moret has our report.

    The historic deep freeze along the Gulf Coast is causing total chaos out on the roads. A big problem is drivers not being used to snow and black ice. On one stretch of highway, troopers responded to more than 100 accidents. And all the collisions have also led to massive traffic jams with some stuck in their cars for 15 hours. And from ice to fire, as two new blazes break out in Los Angeles where high winds and low humidity are making things extra challenging today for firefighters.

    President Trump is demanding an apology from the bishop who counseled him to "have mercy" on migrants and other groups targeted by the new administration. At 1:00AM the president took to social media and in a lengthy post he called the bishop's comments nasty and inappropriate. Now, the bishop is taking to the airwaves with her response. And it's an inauguration ball tradition: members of the military cutting in to dance with the president and vice president and their spouses. But how do they decide who gets the honor? Ann Mercogliano spoke exclusively with the sergeant who was chosen to dance with the first lady. Plus, polar vortex, Siberian express, whatever you want to call it - it's cold pretty much everywhere. In Florida and the Gulf Coast, here's a word you don’t get to use very much: snow! And at a time when weather is the lead story, scores of TV meteorologists are out of a job. One hundred of them who work for the same station group were all fired yesterday to be replaced by forecasters from the weather channel. They didn’t get much notice and their sadness about the move was on full display.

    The second presidency of Donald Trump ended its first night in a wave of glamour. The president and first lady attended three inaugural balls and there was this charming moment when members of the military cut in to dance with them. And, candidate Trump promised immediate change if elected - and today he made good on that with more than 1,000 Biden era appointees being shown the door. Plus, in his first hours as president, Trump also made good on his pledge to release those convicted of crimes connected with the January 6th Capitol riot. Outside the Washington jail where many are being held, it was a celebratory scene. And, with the cold wave that's gripping so much of the country, there are plenty of warnings about avoiding frostbite by covering exposed skin outside. There's also a risk for exposed skin indoors. As more and more people turn to space heaters to keep warm, doctors are seeing more and more of what's called "toasted skin."
