Cal state long beach plans to hold a vigil to grieve for mimi and all of the victims. We look at the aftermath and how theyve affected people. We have heard from some travelers who were in paris at the time of the attacks. Reporter what might surprise you, peggy and terry, some of the people arriving in sfo on direct flight from france, had mixed feelings about being here in the bay area. They wish they were back home in paris, to show solidarity with their countrymen, that are mourning the tragedy that struck yesterday. Tonight, you have to put some candles in your windows to show how much you care for everybody who was there. So, its a little sad to not be there for that moment. The other travelers we spoke with described paris as a war zone last night, as police and military patrolled the streets with automatic weapons. One man was afew miles away from the theater where. He was running down from the show. It was incredible. At first, i thought she was crazy or talking about a movie. But then, ten minutes later, i found it was the real thing. That was jewel onsinas, he said he ducked into a cafe. Any major events, are are no known threats in the bay area. Is on heightened alert. Officers are asking everyone to please report anything sishs. And tributes to paris and also those who lost their lives in the attacks are popping up all across the bay area tonight.

We continue our Team Coverage right now with nbc bay areas christy smith, outside of the french consulate in San Francisco, where a vigil is under way. What is the mood there . Reporter i with tell you that its very quiet. Very somber. People are lined up shouldertoshoulder in front of the french consulate here. Many are dropping off flowers. A vigil of piece. We found it on moveon. Org. What theyre saying is that to stand in solidarity with the people of france, against terrorism. But also, calling for peace and compassion, after the deadly attacks in paris yesterday, that killed more than 100 people. I heard one woman here, speaking, saying she is here, from france. Saying that it is important for her to be out here, to feel the support. But she also talked about, trying to get online yesterday. And check on how her family and friends were doing. That she was relieved to find out they were okay. They were safe. But she did know someone who knew someone, who was killed in the attacks. So, i would say right now, maybe about 75 people gathered out here. A lot of them just putting down candles and walk i away silently. Some of them giving each other hugs. Its sort of a quiet mood tonight. Also, San Francisco police out here, as well. Some of the crowd is actually in the street here. And just to make sure everyone is safe, were hearing that there will be a xwatherring, as well, tomorrow, in the afternoon, over at San Francisco city hall. Another vigil.

It happened this morning. Came down in about six seconds. A live look at the eastern span of the new bay bridge on your right. You can see a piece of the old one, no longer in sight. While the dynamite did its job, the work is not over. Nbcs bay area Chuck Coppola explains. Reporter 600 dynamite charges exploded the oldest support pier on the old bay bridge. The blasts took six seconds. It was cheaper and faster than the four years it would have taken to demolish it piecebypiece. If we had come into the bay with the mechanical means to bring down this structure, we would have had to build this structure. We would have had two structures in the bay. Would have been here a longer period of time. Months, or years. And spent 100 Million Dollars to do it. Reporter it was a marnl of efficiency with environmental concerns. Horns drove away birds. And Marine Mammals were kemt away with bubbles. The Environmental Group baykeeper had been a consultant. The bubble curtain was supposed to be a distributed double effect to dampen all of the impact surrounding the blast. It looked like the bubbles were coming up in particular areas. Reporter nearly 1,900 longfin smelt were expected to die in the demolition. It didnt take long for the backup to build with the shutdown of traffic. Boats on the bay were kept away. And b. A. R. T. Trains were stopped before they reached the transbay tube. After engineers and environmentally determine how well it went, the method could be used on the remaining piers. Im Chuck Coppola, nbc, bay area news. We know what the implosion looked like from the air. Lets look at it from under water. Thats above water. Thats pretty cool. Should we go underwater. I could watch this all day. I was watching this this morning. You are fascinated. This is not a camera. Its what chuck was talking about. The animation. You see the double curtain surrounding the pier. When the dynamite goes off, the concrete crumble into a pit. They appear to have thought of everything. The next step is for crews the clean up the concrete and the debris that didnt get into the pit. Theyre going to cover up that hole after they get everything put into the pit. You can watch the entire implosion for yourself again and again, as many of us did. Head to our website, nbcbayarea. Com and click on the story about the implosion.

Thanks a lot. 20 people still recovering after a terrifying bus crash at one of San Franciscos most popular tourist spots. We sawed you the crash Near Union Square yesterday. It was breaking news. A doubledecker bus went speeding down the street, slamming into cars and people along the way. Six of those injured, in Critical Condition this evening. A closer look. The bus hit the bicyclist at post and taylor. And continued to careen down post, right into union square. Coming to a stop near stockton. Late last night, we show the moment the tour bus hit the bicyclist. Hard to see. But if you look closely, in the right corner, you see the bus hit something. And that turned out to be the bicyclist. And the bus continues down the street. The bus driver taken to the hospital. The investigators will be talking to him and 30 other witnesses to figure out what went wrong with the driver and or the bus. Were learning more about the company that operates the tour bus involved in the crash. We did a safety background check on city sightseeing. The California PublicUtilities Commission did investigate the company back in 2012 because of ownership and insurance issues. In 2013, city sightseeings permit to operate was revoked for a while. Its not clear why. The cpuc says the company is currently licensed to operate. Next at 5 00, a young boys shocking find at a Sacramento County lake. What low water levels revealed and what investigators are hoping to find out next. Also, its not here yet. But el nino is already impacting the bay area. How one city is helping its residents prepare. County lake this week. They found human bones. Well, a boy and his friends get a shock, you could say, at a Sacramento County lake this week. They found human bones. This happened on thursday at fulsome lake. Investigators say the bones were found on the lakes muddy bottoms. Water levels, of course, extra low right now. The boys could not believe what they found at first. My friends like, oh, my god, i found bones. He was like, youre lying, and i came over there, and im like, its a turtle shell. And i saw the teeth, and i was like, oh, my god. Investigators do think the bones are about 10 years old. They are now working to determine the identity. A devastating hitandrun outside the club. The vehicle was found abandoned near the crime scene. Jessica garcia leos was arrested. The 29yearold will be arrai arraigned on tuesday. The victim sustained moderate to major injuries. In the north bay, rescuers pulled a couple out of a mangled car after it went off a cliff near highway 1 on stenson beach. They say the husband was able to call 911 for help. Both victims were flown to the hospital. The wife is in serious condition with major head injuries. The cause of that accident is under investigation. Well, el nino rain is likely on its way to the bay area this winter. Heres another reminder to be prepared for that. San franciscos public works and Public Utilities commission, now teaming up to host two sandbag saturdays. This is to prepare residents for those winter rainy days. They started giving away sandbags today to protect properties prone to flooding. If your home is prone to flooding in the past, theres a chance it will prone this time around. If your home hasnt flooded in the past, theres a very good chance its not going to. We do have sandbags for people who need it. If you think do, come down and get it. San francisco residents can get about ten free sandbags at five distribution sites. That starts next week from 9 00 to 2 00. You can also stop by the public works operation yard, thats monday through friday, from 8 00 to3 00. Well, toxic algae can be doing more damage tonight after putting a halt to crabbing season. The green muck could now severely hurt marine life as well. Biologists say that water temperatures throughout the Pacific Ocean have been warmer this year. That warm water is causing unexpected algae blooms from california all the way up to alaska. Biologists say that larger Marine Mammals such as sea lions and whales cannot metabolize the algae and it could kill them. Now the crab season is on halt indefinitely because of this algae bloom. People were warned not to eat the shellfish this year because it could make you sick. Speaking of el nino and its effects, lets check in with rob mayeda right now and see whats coming our way. Rob . We have some rain coming our way and we are also still watching those aboveaverage sea surface temperatures off the coast, as peggy mentioned. Weve been seeing these problems related to those warm water temperatures, with toxic algae blooms, may and early june until alaska. You had fin whail deaths off to the north. And the fisheries that were closed, part of the largest toxic algae bloom weve had in the last ten years, directly tied into these aboveaverage sea surface temperatures and in this environment, including along our coast, that those warm Ocean Temperatures help the toxic algae kind of thrive. And that is a problem for the whole ecosystem, for seals, walrus, and dolphins, as well, and all the way down to the dungeous crab season. We need this pattern to reset and get those cooler Ocean Temperatures. Right now, were looking at temperatures in the 50s and 60s outside. Dublin, dry, there along 580. 61 degrees. San jose, you got some clear skies and into San Francisco right now, 60s. Your evening plans, just fine. Right after midnight is when the rain is going to come down and it could come down pretty heavy at times and a brief spurt from about midnight until about 5 00 a. M. Tomorrow and you can see the totals here the projection has gone up a little bit. About a third of an inch up to an inch. Notice the popcornlike clouds behind it. Thats a clear indicator of cold air aloft thats maybe going to allow for some embedded thundershowers as this front passes on by. Notice this sharp gradient on the futurecast. Thats the cold front. Winds will be picking up out of the south and switching direction out of the northwest as heavy rain moves to the south bay right around 5 00 a. M. But watch how quickly things begin to clear out. Northwest winds, well keep our temperatures down, but thats going to pipe in some drier and chillier air, as we go through the day. So some rain to start, we think, in the south bay, and then right around lunchtime, we should see the skies clear, but those temperatures, really not warming up much. Youre looking at highs tomorrow in the upper 50s to low 60s. Much cooler than we saw today. As you can see, our temperatures into the north bay, one of the warmer spots might be santa rosa, up to 62 degrees, but tomorrow night, well have to track temperatures dropping into the low 30s, where patchy frost could be the problem as we get back to the workweek. Some showers overnight into the south bay, but clearing by lunchtime. Well see those numbers start to warm on up into monday and tuesday. The skies clear as we transition out of a pattern that has this weekend storm coming in tonight, transitioning to a drier pattern, which unfortunately means High Pressure taking hold. After the storm that comes in tomorrow night into the morning, notice the outlook as we go through the week does look dry, and in case you have plans this week, next weekend, things are looking drier. A much different story taking place tonight with the wind, rain, and heavy sierra snow at times. Well track all of it tonight and throughout 11 00. All right, rob, thank you very much.
