Of an earthquakes location. Some people with phones that detect a motion from the earthquake agree with each other that we all see the same thing. Locate its magnitude and send that warning to people farther away. Reporter a simulation looked at a big quake along the hayward fault, and found an alert came within seconds, enough time to duck or brace yourself. Right now the system only looks at large quake, magnitude 7. 0 or higher. A Pilot Program was just funded in chile, where 7. 0 quakes have been detected along the coast. Most of the worlds high population for earthquakes has no protection whatsoever. But cell phones are ubiquitous. Reporter california is already testing shake alert. But Scientists Say this could be a supplement. A few seconds are enough time to stop doing something you dont want to be doing during an earthquake. Reporter and that recently funded research in chile is expected to take about a year to yield results. Reporting live in menlo park Christie Smith nbc bay area news that. Could be big. Thank you, christy. I want to get you updated on a developing story, the nightmare traffic on the richmondsan rafael bridge. All the westbound lanes coming into san rafael were closed for nearly 12 hours. However, at 5 00 p. M. , just about an hour ago, one lane was reopened. You see is the slow trickle of traffic from our nbc chopper. Our chopper has been on the scene throughout the day. Here is the latest plan. They hope to open all westbound lanes by 7 00 p. M. So about an hour from now. This saul started when a u. S. Delivery truck, a big rig crash new years day san quinten prison this morning. Here was the view from most of the day. That same shot of miles of backed up traffic. The crash happened around 5 30 a. M. Shutting down traffic in both directions on the bridge. Eastbound traffic finally started moving around 1 00 this afternoon. First the crash and then the ensuing fire. This is what it looked like. It burned hot. Hot enough to damage part of the roadway. And hundreds of packages inside the ups truck were destroyed. Remarkably, there were no injuries. Investigators have determined the driver of the truck was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs, but they are looking into the possibility that he fell asleep at the wheel. Questionable timing for Vice President joe bidens visit to the bay area. He is in town to praise the pacific gas and Electric Company for a program they have that helps veterans one day after the utility was chastised by state regulators and fined a 1. 6 billion for the san bruno disaster. Mark matthews is on nob hill where the Vice President is spending the night tonight there at the hotel. Is the timing even coincidental . Reporter just what im hearing is this event that took place in oakland has been on the books for quite a while. It certainly did take the spotlight off of yesterdays talk at the cpuc about breaking up the utility, or holing the executives personally responsible. The Vice President had nothing but good things to say about the Power Company and its ceo, tony earling. Tony, the reason i am here is because the president and i both believe this is one of the premier programs in the country. Reporter the Vice President was talking about pg es Workforce Development program called power pathways. What youre doing here at pg e to train veterans for specific skills the Company Needs is exactly what companies should be doing everywhere. Reporter pg e has trained over 600 students. More than half of them have been military veterans. This is just one small example of how pg e is such a great corporate citizen. Reporter that was oakland mayor libby schaaf. I asked her how her comments squared with the corporate misconduct that has been uncovered following san bruno . It does not mean that we should not also acknowledge good things that this company has done in this particular community. And thats what i was speaking to. Reporter as for the timing of the Vice President s visit this visit to oakland had been planned for a very long time. Reporter the daly city woman who introduced the president is a marine and air force veteran currently enrolled in power pathways. Elizabeth torres beamed when i introduced her about introducing joe biden. It felt surreal. Reporter but when i asked about the timing in light of the fine against the company, a employee stepped in. She is not taking any comments on that. Were absolutely moving on and focusing on safety. Thats what todays event was about. Reporter and then he asked us to leave. The Vice President did not take any questions from reporters. A couple were shouted out. I asked him about san bruno. He didnt answer. The chronicle asked if he was going to challenge Hillary Clinton. Didnt answer that one either. Mark matthews, nbc bay area news. Thank you. The Vice President made a quick trip to staff for lunch at Grilled Cheese shop the melt on front street. Biden ordered the classic Grilled Cheese with a side of tomato soup. He donated to the restaurants cool gardening program. He said he may be back for an ice cream. We have new details this evening. Our first look at the man who was beaten by Southern California sheriffs deputies. The chase and the beating was captured by our nbc chopper. Francis pusok was fleeing officers on a stolen horse. This is his mug shot where you can see that black eye there. This happened in rural San Bernardino county yesterday. The aerial video went viral. Today we learned the fbi is conducting a civil rights investigation into the arrest and the San Bernardino county sheriff today placed ten deputies on paid administrative leave. He also revealed those deputies were wearing audio recorders. And i assure you that if there is criminal wrongdoing on the part of our sheriffs or any policy violations we will take action. There is much more to the story. Pusoks legal team says the mistreatment didnt end with his arrest. His family couldnt get any information on his medical condition. We got down here, and the family wants us down here first thing this morning just to find out what he looks like, is he breathing . Is he okay . Because they dont trust anybody. His attorney said pusok did get some cat scans and xrays to confirm there is no internal damage. Pusok tells them he is frightened because the deputies whispered verbal threats to him. The Sheriffs Department has received threats by phone and social media. While the newest members of san joses police force took the oath to join the force just a few hours ago 19 men and women who did it in the shadow of one of the departments darkest days, the death of an officer.

And even the day after officer johnson was killed those cadets were given an option. Hang it up now or stay the course and become a cop. Today every one of those cadets gave the same answer. [ bagpipes playing ] they spent the last few months preparing for this day, learning selfdefense memorizing the police codes, marching in formation. But perhaps nothing could prepare them for the biggest reality that comes with this job. Just over two weeks ago, San Jose Police officer mike johnson was gunned down in the line of duty. It was a very realistic view of what can happen to any one of us. Reporter officer Steven Aponte spoke to his family about the tragedy. You start thinking about things. You might get a phone call from my i get a phone call from my daughterinlaw. It is a good check. As i mentioned, this is the reality of police work. In any given day, even if you do everything absolutely right and correct, the potential is always there. Reporter thats the message the assistant chief delivered to the academy just after officer johnson was killed. Every member of this department that wears this badge knows that there is a chance that we may have to lay down our lives in defense of another. And if they werent prepared to do that then this probably was not the job for them. And basically, that was the message that was sent. Officer ian hockley. Reporter Academy Class 22 listened carefully to the chiefs message. Officer Steven Aponte. Reporter and here they are today, all 19 of them. Raise your right hand and repeat after me please. Reporter their gut told them to take the oath nchts to swear to protect and serve. That i will support and defend. Reporter and to accept the risk that comes with the title of san joses finest. Police are really the height level, the top level of service that you can give to your community.

From bad to worse, more cement discovered in an oakland creek. Crews found another chunk of cement today in the glen echo creek. They also found cement in a womans backyard.

Reporter she says around lunch time this man approached her at mt. Herman drive. She had never seen him before and knew she was in danger when he grabbed her arm. And im really scared. No guy has ever tried to put his hands on me. Reporter when she resisted brenda says he hit her in the face pulled out a knife and demanded her cell phone. I got so startled.

And i will not retreat in pointing that out in our determination to make sure that everything we are doing is held transparent and accountable. Mirkarimi says he also wants to fire a deputy in connection with the escape of an accused trafficker. Be warned closed this weekend. Van ness avenue closed in both directions between geary and post.

Looking forward to getting one. Reporter so youre going to buy one . Oh yeah yeah most definitely. Just coming here and deciding which one. I think it will take some getting used to.

Well, the drought is apparentlyn getting dicey for some farmers accused of using too much water to grow their crops. Many almond farmers are being shamed after a series ofry reports show it takes one gallon of water to produce one almond. Almond farmers argue they l b using just enough water for irrigation and theyve already made cutbacks. The almond farmers are a7 w how long its going to take to restore that. Over the last two decades, Almond Growers in particular have actually reduced their amount of water usage by 33 .
