TLC, Salt-N-Pepa bringing tour to Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center
ALL RIGHT. TIME RIGHT NOW IS 643 KICKING OFF NEWS TO GO. WE HAVE A LIVE LOOK AT JUST SEVERAL OF THE BREAKING STORIES THAT WE’RE TRACKING TO START YOUR MONDAY. IT IS A BUSY MONDAY ON THE LEFT GUARDIA AIRPORT. IT IS CLOSED DOWN THE ENTIRE AIRPORT AFTER A DEADLY PLANE COLLISION ON THE RUNWAY OVERNIGHT ON YOUR RIGHT CVG AIRPORT, WHERE FLIGHTS TO AND FROM LAGUARDIA ARE CANCELED. WE ALSO HAVE A LIVE LOOK AT UNION TOWNSHIP, WHERE MY CO-ANCHOR STEVEN ALBRITTON IS LIVE FOR US. THIS MORNING IS OVERNIGHT STORMS UP BEHIND DAMAGED. SO LOTS TO COVER THIS MORNING. WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED ON IT ALL. SO WE’RE GOING TO START WITH METEOROLOGIST RANDI RICO WITH A CHECK OF THAT FORECAST, WHICH IF YOU HAVE ANY KIDS WITH SPORTS PRACTICES TODAY, LONG SLEEVES, LONG PANTS. YESTERDAY, 86 IN THE AFTERNOON, THIS AFTERNOON, PROBABLY CLOSER TO 50. SO A VERY LARGE DROP AFTER THE OVERNIGHT COLD FRONT. I KNOW WOKE ME UP MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. WE HAD SOME GUSTY WINDS. THERE WERE SOME DECENT SIZED HAIL UP NORTH CLOSER TO DAYTON AND COLUMBUS. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE LEFT WITH THIS MORNING. DRY CONDITIONS RIGHT. THIS THING MOVED IN AND OUT. WORST OF IT WAS ABOUT 11:00 MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT. BUT BACK BEHIND THIS FRONT, OUR TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN TANKING. WE’VE FALLEN OFF INTO THE 40S. SO TAKING YOU THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS, WE’RE GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 38 AND 40 DEGREES IN MOST COMMUNITIES FOR THE EARLY MORNING RUSH. WE’VE GOT SOME CLOUDS IN PLACE. A LITTLE BREEZY TODAY AS TEMPERATURES MAKE THEIR WAY UP TOWARD 50. SO 35 PLUS DEGREES COLDER THAN YESTERDAY. BUT THERE IS A WARM UP ON THE WAY BY OPENING DAY. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE OPENING DAY TIMELINE IN THE MORNING. ON THURSDAY, WE WILL HAVE THE CHANCE FOR SOME PASSING SHOWERS. THAT’S THE WARM FRONT MOVING THROUGH. IT’LL BRING US THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN BETWEEN 6 AND 10 A.M., BUT BY PARADE TIME IT’S LOOKING GOOD. WE SHOULD BE DRYING OUT. WE’LL BE AROUND 71ST PITCH JUST AFTER 4:00. BREEZY, WARM AND MID 70S. AND THEN A HEADS UP FOR ANY LATE NIGHT CELEBRATIONS ON OPENING DAY. THERE IS A COLD FRONT LATE THURSDAY EVENING OR OVERNIGHT, PROBABLY AFTER 9 P.M. OR SO. WE’LL GET SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA. SO THE GOOD NEWS IS, YES, THERE’S RAIN ON OPENING DAY. IT’S BOOKENDS OF RAIN EARLY IN THE MORNING AND LATE AT NIGHT, WHICH MEANS AWESOME WEATHER FOR YOUR OPENING DAY PLANS. TEMPERATURES NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS THOUGH. DEFINITELY ON THE COOL SIDE. ALL RIGHT, LET’S SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW BACK IN NEW YORK CITY. MEGAN. YES. RANDI. THANK YOU. AT 645, WE HAVE BREAKING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK OFFICIALS NOW SHARING AN UPDATE ON THAT DEADLY PLANE CRASH AT LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. THEY SAY THAT THE PILOT AND COPILOT ARE DEAD AFTER THE AIR CANADA FLIGHT COLLIDED WITH A FIRE TRUCK ON THE TARMAC. THE AIRPORT IS CLOSED UNTIL, AT THE VERY EARLIEST THIS AFTERNOON. AND VIDEO INTO OUR NEWSROOM OVERNIGHT SHOWS THE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. LOOK AT THE FRONT PART OF THAT PLANE. THIS IS AN AIR CANADA PLANE, AND OFFICIALS SAY THERE WERE ABOUT 80 PEOPLE ON BOARD AT THE TIME, INCLUDING CREW. 41 PEOPLE WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE HOSPITAL. 32 OF THEM HAVE SINCE BEEN RELEASED. SOME OF THOSE PASSENGERS INJURIES ARE SERIOUS. TWO OFFICERS ON THE GROUND WERE HURT. THEY ARE STABLE AT THE HOSPITAL. OFFICIALS SAY THAT THE FIRE TRUCK HAD BEEN RESPONDING TO A NEARBY FLIGHT THAT HAD REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FOR ODOR IN THE COCKPIT. THE CRASH HAPPENED SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT. RIGHT NOW, WE’RE HEARING FROM A PASSENGER WHO WAS ON BOARD THAT FLIGHT. WE’VE BEEN DONE FOR A REGULAR LANDING. WE CAME IN PRETTY HARD. WE IMMEDIATELY HIT SOMETHING AND IT WAS JUST CHAOS THERE. ABOUT FIVE SECONDS LATER, WE HAD TO COME TO A STOP. IN THAT SHORT PERIOD. I MEAN, EVERYBODY WAS HUNKERED DOWN. EVERYBODY’S SCREAMING PRETTY QUICKLY. WE DIDN’T HAVE ANY DIRECTIONS BECAUSE THE PILOTS CABIN HAD BEEN DESTROYED. SO SOMEBODY SAID, LET’S GET THE EMERGENCY EXIT AND GET THE DOOR IN. LET’S ALL JUMP OUT. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID. THE CLOSURE AT LAGUARDIA CAUSING RIPPLE EFFECTS. NATIONWIDE FLIGHTS TO AND FROM NEW YORK ARE BEING CANCELED, INCLUDING AT CVG. THAT’S WHERE WE FIND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S NICOLE APONTE. WHO IS LIVE NIKOLE. IT IS SPRING BREAK. IT IS A MONDAY MORNING, SO NEW YORK IS THE MOST FLIGHTS THAT CVG HAS COMING TO AND FROM ON A DAILY BASIS. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING THERE AT THE AIRPORT? MEGAN? THAT NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK HAVING A DOMINO EFFECT ACROSS AIRPORTS ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. SINCE WE’VE GOTTEN HERE, ABOUT 30 MINUTES HAVE PASSED. WE’VE SEEN THE TSA LINES REALLY TAPER OFF. BUT OF COURSE, THIS NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK IS COMING AT A TIME DURING THE PARTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. WE KNOW THAT THESE LINES HAVE BEEN A HEADACHE FOR SO MANY TRAVELERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. NOW, THIS DEVASTATING NEWS OUT OF NEW YORK, JUST ANOTHER REALLY THING TO ADD. ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, WE KNOW THAT BOTH THE PILOT AND COPILOT WERE KILLED IN THIS DEADLY CRASH. ALL FLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED AFTER THAT PLANE COLLIDED WITH A FIRE TRUCK ON THE TARMAC THERE. WE KNOW THAT THERE WERE 72 PASSENGERS ON THAT FLIGHT WITH FOUR CREW MEMBERS, 41 OF THEM TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, 32 HAVE BEEN RELEASED. NOW, WE KNOW THAT TSA AGENTS HAVE ALSO GONE TWO WEEKS AND THEY MISSED TWO PAYCHECKS ALREADY AT THIS TIME, TOO. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS THAT ICE AGENTS NOW WILL BE COMING INTO AIRPORTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO HELP WITH THE TSA AGENTS CALLING OUT SICK, NOT SHOWING UP TO WORK. BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THEIR ROLE WILL BE JUST YET, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO TSA AGENTS HAVING SPECIFIC TRAINING TO GO THROUGH THE SECURITY CHECKPOINTS. WE KNOW THAT ICE AGENTS DO NOT. BUT OF COURSE, ALL FLIGHTS ARE GROUNDED TO AND FROM LAGUARDIA AIRPORT. THAT AIRPORT HAD TO BE CLOSED UNTIL 2 P.M. TODAY, REPORTING LIVE AT CVG NICOLE APONTE. WLWT. NEWS 5. NICOLE. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE ALL THOSE UPDATES THIS MORNING. WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING ON THIS, BOTH ON AIR AND ONLINE@WLWT.COM. ALSO BREAKING RIGHT NOW, CREWS WORKING TO RESTORE POWER FOR THOUSANDS OF DUKE ENERGY CUSTOMERS ACROSS GREATER CINCINNATI COULD ACTUALLY SEE SOME OF THOSE BLUE DOTS, ESPECIALLY THE EAST SIDE OF OUR REGION, REPRESENTING THE AREAS THAT ARE STILL IN THE DARK. THERE’S ABOUT 5500 CUSTOMERS DEALING WITH OUTAGES. THAT NUMBER WAS AS HIGH AS ABOUT 7000 OVERNIGHT. THE ESTIMATES FOR RESTORATION DO VARY. DUKE SAYS SOME AREAS MAY NOT HAVE POWER BACK ON UNTIL 915 THIS MORNING. WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED ON THE ALL NIGHT EFFORT TO CLEAN UP AFTER THESE STORMS, MY COWORKER STEVEN ALBRITTON LIVE FOR US ON VIC BARB LANE. THIS IS IN UNION TOWNSHIP. AND STEVEN, A TREE FELL ON A HOME THERE. YOU KNOW, HAD IT BEEN A SCARY SITUATION FOR THE FAMILY INSIDE OVERNIGHT, WE HAD THE WIND UP TO 58MPH WITH THAT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING. SO YOU GET A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE. THIS TREE REALLY A BRANCH OF THE MAIN PART OF THE TREE LANDING ON TOP OF THIS HOME, AT LEAST PART OF THE GUTTER ON EACH SIDE OF THE HOME HAS BEEN TORN APART, BUT I IMAGINE THERE IS SOME ROOF DAMAGE SPECIFICALLY WITH THE WAY THE TREE HAS FALLEN ON TOP OF THERE. AND THEN LOOKING AT THE TREE ITSELF, THE MAIN PART OF IT STILL STANDING, BUT IT SNAPPED OFF ABOUT HALFWAY UP AND LANDING ON TOP OF THE HOME. AND THIS ISN’T THE ONLY AREA WHERE WE’VE SEEN DAMAGE OVER IN INDIAN HILL EARLIER, WE SAW A SITUATION WHERE A TREE CAME DOWN ON SOME WIRES, CUT OUT POWER TO QUITE A FEW PEOPLE OVER THERE. DUKE WAS ON SCENE TO GET THAT CLEANED UP AND GET THE ROADS BACK OPEN ON NICOLE APONTE WAS OVER THERE EARLY ON, BUT DUKE ENERGY MAKING DECENT WORK, DECENT QUICK WORK OF THAT. BUT WE SHOWED YOU THE POWER OUTAGE, MAP RESTORATION ANYWHERE BETWEEN NOW AND 9:30 A.M. IF YOU DON’T HAVE POWER AND YOU’RE WATCHING US ON AN APP OR SOMEBODY TEXTING ABOUT THIS, YOU GOT TO BE PATIENT. YOUR POWER MIGHT COME BACK ON, MIGHT GO BACK OFF AS CREWS ARE WORKING TO GET ANY EQUIPMENT REPAIRED, OR IF IT DOES HAVE TO GET THE LINES PUT BACK UP AFTER A TREE FELL ON THEM. BUT THE GOOD NEWS I HAVEN’T HEARD OF ANY INJURIES. THE FAMILY HERE AT THIS HOME NOT HURT AS WELL. IT’S JUST A MATTER OF CALLING INSURANCE AND CALLING THOSE CONTRACTORS TO GET THIS TREE SAFELY CUT OFF AND TAKEN OFF OF THEIR HOME. BUT AGAIN, NO INJURIES. THE GOOD NEWS? BUT REMEMBER, WE’RE JUST AT THE START OF THE SEVERE WEATHER SO DOWNLOAD THE WLWT MOBILE APP. IT’S FREE. GET THOSE ALERTS TURNED ON TO GET NOTIFIED WHENEVER SEVERE WEATHER STARTS TO HEA
