Watch this video. 250 miles short of hawaii despite the addition of a fuel tank the plane goes down in the water but the pilot is rescued without injury. He is the one in the green shirt there, after and sound. That is what this company is saying. For the president of the company that installed that long range tank they say theyve been doing this work more than two decades without Serious Problems they say the system is fool proof. Richard says his Company Tracy sky view aviation has installed 1200 of these. And never had a system failure. Went for that system to be designed many, many years ago. We never have issues with the system. You put fluid here and here. The Company Installed a very tag as theyre called on this small plane in the system of flight tested over the weekend. This shows seconds before it loses engine power the parachute is deployed. First, the plane faces nose down until stabilizing and lands in the ocean the coast guard directed the pilot to fly to the area near a cruise ship.

State senator mark leno says its time to regulate e cigarettes the devices heat up liquid nicotine that is inhalled and exhaled what users called vaping. He says they should be treated like other Tobacco Products that means a ban in spaces. Amazingly this is now a multi billion dollar industry, wholy unregulated, untaxed, operating on its own we know that there is great risk to Public Health and individual health of the users. A study published last week in new england journal of medicine found users who turn up the heat on the vaporizers are exposed to high levels of formaldehyde but the owners says that is not what regular users do. Its like saying cars are dangerous. If you drive them at 800 Miles Per Hour around a curve when youre eating a bagel. So yes. Its the same thing. Its a tested in a manner its not supposed to of course, its going to be dangerous. The head of the Association Says lenos bill irresponsibly sends the mess wrath to the 3. 6 million adult smokers that vaping may be no less hazardous than continuing to inhale burning cigarette smoke.

Its better i think, health wise than smoking cigarettes though its probably not totally safe.

In the newsroom, abc7 news. Thank you so much carolyn. Still ahead pitching pot. Some products now available for the Marijuana Industry to keep it on the up and up. Im spencer christian. Clouds are thickening but the chance of rain is rather minimal. Ill have the accuweather forecast coming up. An allelectric vehicle is stuck in the slow lane until 7 on your side gets involved. What we did to smooth the commute, just ahead. Plus, a 3 an Investment Firm that treats the legal Marijuana Industry in the u. S. Reporting that pot sales jumped 74 last year. That is one of the reasons why venture capitolists spent the day with entrepreneurs. One reason why there is such a jump is because colorado started legal recreational pot sales in january then, Washington State followed last summer. Then, these venture capitolists are expecting more growth in the coming years because voters in oregon and alaska voted similar measures last november. This event started with an exercise that was like a cross between a shark tank episode and a speed dating session. For entrepreneurs this is an opportunity to get several precious minutes to back a number of different marijuanarelated products like edible hemp oil, and gizmos to help home growers get a start. This is horticulture science being brought in the Marijuana Industry. Now, you have an opportunity like coming out of the closet. For investors this is a chance to get in on an industry that is booming. This is something that is large in five years is likely to be larger than the organic food industry. Troy dayton says hundreds of investors are interested because legal sales in this country jumped 74 last year to 2. 7 billion. And if more states follow the lead of colorado and washington, investors want in on the growth possibilities. This industry has been around a long, long time. And there is because of social forces and changes in legislation, its just turning from legal, from illegal to legal. That is what is interesting. Theyll see likely more growth soon because oregon and alaska just passed measures legalizing recreational pot sales but california is where more than half legal sales are made. This group is hoping recreational sales will be legal here, too, which will make any investment now really payoff later. Abc7 news.
