federal offense interfering with a flight crew. and fbi investigators are trying to find out more about this man. the man carrying a passport from yemen started banging on the cockpit door and yelling as an american airlines flight was about half hour from sfo. flight 1561 started in laguardia with more than 160 people on board when the man rushed the cockpit. two flight attendants and two passengers a retired san mateo police officer and a secret service agent, apparently pinned him to the ground and arrested him with the flight attendant's plastic handcuffs. we asked airport police with the suspect this morning. >> we know that he is a 28-year- old male subject. we do have his name also. there was information that he did possess a california identification card as well as a yemen passport. >> reporter: we have pictures here to share with you from twitter of the suspect he was

kept in first class until the plane landed at sfo. police say the suspect is rageit almurisi. they don't know the reason for his outburst. he was treated tow hospital for scrapes to the elbow before being taken to jail. none of the passengers or crew was injured. with all that, the flight landed safely on time after 9:00 last night and flight operations were not disrupted. but certainly this fbi investigation continues this morning. frank? >> sharon, you said that some flight attendants took part in the takedown. some passengers did as well, right? >> reporter: yes. there were two passengers. one was a retired police officer from san mateo and the other was a secret service agent. so glad they were on board >> i was going to say. they are lucky those two guys were up in first class. all right, sharon chin live in sfo, thank you. there were two other security scares on flights this weekend. a delta airline jet heading to san diego diverted to albuquerque yesterday. a passenger says a note was found in the bathroom with the

firefighters got here quickly. it went to two alarms. because these houses are close together there was a danger of the neighbors' houses catching on fire. so to keep that from happening, firefighters used a technique known as a water curtain. >> houses are pretty close to each other. we did have names coming from the side of the house impinging on both the neighbors's houses. we were able to keep the fire out of both neighbors's houses. >> reporter: you're looking at a window now that apparently would have looked into the attic but right now you can see sky behind it. that roof is pretty much gone. the fire is suspicious so fire investigators will be back later on this morning. so for now it looks like a fight between a husband and wife on the 400 block of bayview drive. >> thank you, kiet do in oakley this morning. pg&e set to start testing

follow through aggressively in the months to come. >> reporter: president obama acknowledged that some members of his national security team had doubts about the operation. after all, there was no photo or evidence to prove bin laden was even in the compound. >> at the end of the day, this was still a 55/45 situation. i mean, we could not say definitively that bin laden was there. had he not been there, then there would have been significant consequences. >> reporter: but he was there. and intelligence officials are now going through the largest cache of data ever from one single terrorist including these videotapes that offer a behind-the-scenes look at bin laden. they show him watching himself on tv and rehearsing his infamous propaganda speeches. tara mergener for cbs news, washington. >> riveting interview! unbelievable stuff. well, there is talk of a no ride list on amtrak now to thwart potential terror attacks.

bridge toll plaza, westbound traffic across the upper deck looks good. here's the san mateo bridge. starting to get busier in the westbound lanes of 92 in the commute direction. we had an earlier high wind advisory that chp issued for the san mateo bridge. that's now gone, cancelled. you can see our caltrans warning sign not lit. remember kcbs, our radio partners, at 740-am and 106.9- fm. that's your traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. let's take a check of today's top stories. the fbi and tsa investigating a security scare on an american airlines flight heading to san francisco. a passenger who got on in new york tried to storm the cockpit last night. he is now under arrest this morning. the man had a california identification card and passport from yemen. a fast-moving fire in oakley causing major damage to a two-story home last night and it may have been the result of

a domestic dispute between a man and his ex-wife. that fire went to two alarms but firefighters kept the flames from spreading to nearby homes. and more homes being evacuated as the mississippi river rises toward record flood levels at memphis, tennessee. the river is expected to crest there overnight tonight. officials are going door to door to warn people to get out of low-lying areas. all right, sydnie. it is 5:47 now. right now pg&e is getting ready to test natural gas pipeline in mountain view to ensure safe operating pressures following the san bruno disaster. joining us live now this morning, brian swanson a spokesman for pg&e. brian, good morning. >> good morning. >> tell us about the process. what's going on today? >> we're going to hydrotest our pipeline in mountain view 24" mile and a half segments and we fill the pipe completely with water. we want to make sure all the air is remove from the pipe and then increase pressure. we have to add an additional

amount of water into the pipe. water is not compressible so a small amount to increase pressure in the pipe. we'll increase to 600 pounds. normally it operates at less than 400 pounds which is its maximum allowing operating pressure so again this work is to validate safe operating pressures on our pipeline. >> how about the residents, how will it affect them and their service today? >> well, service is being delivered by an alternative route so service is not impacted to any customers in the neighborhood. and customers, you know, we didn't expect there to be any problems but, you know, if there were a leak it would be similar to a water main leak and there might be some minor flooding in the neighborhood. we have crews on standby ready to respond to any leaks if they occur and ready for clean-up. >> we understand some residents might smell a slight odor of gas but that's to be expected, i guess, right? >> that's not going to happen today. that was work we did last week before we put water into the

pipe. we need too remove all the natural gas from the pipe. so we vented the pipe last week a few days ago and when we do this work in other parts of the bay area through this year, we are going to notify customers ahead of time when we're removing gas from the lines so they will be aware of any gas odor in the neighborhood. >> okay. brian swanson, hey, we wish you well today, brian, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> okay. gasoline prices are taking a dip after 44 straight days of increases and that could be just the beginning of prices actually going down for the summer. national average for a gallon of regular now stands at 3.98. of course, higher here in the bay area. 4.32 in the city. >> i'm skeptical. if they go down it will be 5 or 10 cents to make us feel good but it won't happen. >> i'm not a pessimist. i believe it's coming down

soon. >> some say it could go down 50 cents a gallon by june. google looking to be cutting edge and environmentally-friendly friendly as it adds new buildings in mountain view. the company you see is running out of room. they are leasing land from the city by shoreline boulevard. the "mercury news" says they have hired a german architecture firm that has a global reputation for green designs >> the earlier the better, what pregnant women should do before the month of november. >> his eyes to see if there was any movement or any dreaming and there is nothing there. >> loved ones remaining strong for bryan stow. the injured giants fan, the grim outlook doctors gave about his recovery. >> we are continuing to follow breaking news this out of southern california. crews on the scene of a major
