6:09 pm
what he needed to do to fix it. so i think the response today was good. >> reporter: but there are still speed bumps ahead. a facebook user in maryland filed a lawsuit for improperly gathering her data hoping for clas action status. it also remains to be seen if users, some of whom recently pledged to delete their facebook accounts to stay. >> if they're using us as political props that pisses me off for sure. >> it just kind of seems like part of the world now. >> reporter: and fortunes improved for facebook investors today after a two day loss of about $20 a share, facebook stock turned things around today ending positive by about a dollar. scott budman, nbc bay area news. >> thank, scott. that mistake happened after a data researcher created a personality research app in

parts of flying is the landing. >> we were coming from las vegas. it was a full flight. >> reporter: last night at san francisco international airport lenny backer's flight from vegas wasn't able to land as originally planned. >> all of a sudden i felt we were coming in for a landing but the plane kind of sharply accelerated and went up. >> reporter: this gps tracking video shows what happened next. the pilot pulled up and circled to try again. >> we had some turbulence before that, the weather was unsettled. it's cloudy, so you always get a little bit nervous that something might be there that shouldn't be there are. >> reporter: according to the faa alaska flight 1917 couldn't make that landing because another plane was waiting to take off and was still on the runway. so the pilot was instructed to do a go around until it was clear. something the faa calls routine. >> prior to getting that close,
6:12 pm
why wasn't he given an alert there was something there that could cause a potential catastrop catastrophe? >> reporter: and according to the faa it is not uncommon for a pilot to get as close as half a mile away from the runway before they're told they need to make a go around. it may be unsettling for passengers but the faa says it's not dangerous. reporting live from sfo,. we continue to track breaking news. a san francisco police officer shot. we are awaiting an update from the police chief any minute now at sf general. plus close calls at the santa cruz mountains. the giant oak tree that fell on a building at an elementary
