by that and say wait a minute. isn't that a fire hazard? and that's the kind of thing that can form the basis of involuntary manslaughter. >> travis was the best man at my wedding. he was my best friend. >> reporter: eric bateman was in the same band as travis huff and chelsea faith. both died in the ghost ship fire. eric wonders whether the landlord and city also should accept responsibility and he thinks his late friends would believe it's excessive that both men face 39 years in prison. >> i just don't think sending somebody to jail for 40 years is going to make the world a better place. >> reporter: friends and family members of the victims said today something that was pretty obvious, that the d.a. made no mention at all about the landlord, the owner of the ghost ship property. well, the district attorney was not answering any questions about whether there would be more charges filed. joe vazquez, kpix5. police are looking for a

would leave smaller airports, private businesses and private pilots asking -- >> are we going to end up like europe where you just can't afford to fly because it's so onerous, the fees that they'll use? >> reporter: while it's claimed it could cut costs for travelers, a delta study last year said consumers could pay 20 to 29% more and how about safety concerns? >> the system is very safe and will continue to be safe no matter how much money they put into it. >> reporter: the union representing 14,000 air traffic controllers support privatization. congress would have to take up the measure next. at sfo sharon chin, kpix5. our investigation exposed open city leaders getting warriors' tickets on the taxpayers' dime and that's not all, tonight the pricey perk they refused to give up. >> and a mystery caught on camera in the california woods, the question tonight, is that a chimpanzee? >> imagine scaling this without
