tears and moments of just trying to connect with either each other or even loved ones who have passed. it was quite something. let me show you what it looked like from the nasa point of view the tell skoem scopes that captured this moment which the moon comes in and blocks the sun, depending where you are in that zone of totality, lasted up to 4:15 in some places. spectacular, right? this only happens once every 18 months somewhere in the world. we were lucky it happened here in the united states as it then moved away, it was then traveling at 1,500 miles an hour, the shadow across the earth. now can i show you the view from 20,000 feet? gadi schwartz capturing spectacular images. in a chase plane. as we saw that shadow moving across parts of the country. they could not chase it fast enough, as you expect. boy did they capture great images. look at that.

further threat to the public. meanwhile, recent videos of unprovoked violence here in new york and the killing of an nypd officer are fuelling concerns about public safety. this morning, in an nbc news exclusive, the city's top cop is addressing them. we sat down with our senior national correspondent tom llamas. tom, good morning to you. >> hey, craig, good morning to you. good morning to you guys as well. according to the nypd, crime is actually coming down in most metrics. but when you talk to new yorkers or read the papers, it feels like a much different story. i sat down with the commissioner of the nypd who rose from the ranks of a beat cop in the south bronx to now leading a police department larger than most armies. >> stop it! >> from mayhem on the subways to unprovoked attacks on women to a young police officer shot and killed in the line of duty, these headlines and viral videos paint a picture of a big city with a big problem.

jonathan diller, allegedly by two career criminals with long records. >> how many more police officers and how many more families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them? >> reporter: is she right? >> absolutely. that's the one thing that no police commissioner wants to do during their tenure, is bury one of their own, whether it's a family of blood or a family of blue. it hurts to the core. >> reporter: part of the commissioner's mission now separating perception versus reality. according to nypd stats, overall crime is down in the city and subways, but that's not how many new yorkers feel about their own safety. >> i want my legacy to be that new yorkers felt not only that they were safe, but that they felt safe, too. they don't feel that way, i'm not doing my job. >> reporter: now, bail reform advocates argue it helps the poor that are disproportionally jailed because they don't have the means to post bail. but the governor, who is a democrat, has seen enough, holding reforms to hold violent criminals accountable. guys?
