Developing news tonight. Crews are attempting to clean up and begin repairs caused by this massive water main break in west los angeles. Almost 20 million gallons of water spewed from a broken pipe and that is twice the original estimate. Several buildings on uclas campus including Pauley Pavilion have been extensively damaged. These are live chopper pictures showing where that water main broke. It is just one big sinkhole in the middle of sunset boulevard. Cbs reporter Danielle Nottingham joins us from los angeles with a very complicated cleanup. Reporter allen, the water still isnt completely shut off.

We have a 1921 pipe steel riveted that feeds into a 1956 pipe. Its what we call a y connection. And it turns out that the pipe ripped open right at the y connection. Reporter crews are scrambling to drain the pipes and secure surrounding valves to prevent other breaks before they can begin repairs. The 93yearold water main typically transports 75,000 gallons of water a minute from the Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir about 6 miles north of ucla. Most of the campus is now dry. But water poured into parking garage stairwells like this one, which is still under more than a foot of water.

Danielle, i heard you say they havent got the water completely shut off yet. Why is that . reporter yeah. The problem that they are having right now is with the valves that stop the water from leaking. Water Officials Say the valves are just as old as the pipes. So if they are not able to stop the valves from leaking, they do have a plan b and thats to bring in an inflatable plug to stop the water flow. But still, they have water leaking from two sources. They say its spilling about 1,000 gallons a minute still so this is still a very big mess. Cant afford to waste the water, either. Danielle nottingham, thank you so much. Cars and more cars completely submerged. They are trapped in parking structures on uclas campus. More than 700 vehicles are estimated to be damaged in this. Today crews were working to pump out the water but that is going to be a very long process. Three to four feet of water in the upper level of the parking structure down below in the lower levels, they are filled to the top. Students, they are not holding out too much hope. I have never seen anything like it before. It was so much water and dirt. And i just pictured my car just totally floating away. I have a honda civic and im really hoping its, you know, okay but i really doubt it.

Uber takes action after consumerwatch exposes a secret drivers hacking phones to steal fares. No riders could be getting a refund now riders could be getting a refund. Whoo mmm oh, yeah [ male announcer ] discover your new orleans. Start exploring at followyournola. Com. Uber drivers were hacking t phones in order to steal fas from each ridesharing com 24 hours after we reported that uber drivers were hacking their phones in order to steal fares from each other, the Ridesharing Company is taking action. Kpix 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts on what uber is doing to fix it. Reporter if you recently got an uber ride from the airport, you may actually be getting a refund. The Company Announced today or at least it told us its fixing the hacking issue we exposed and even though it primarily affected uber drivers, uber passengers are getting money back. Four, five, six, seven, eight. Reporter this driver is counting the number of uber black cars and suvs parked just feet from the airport. At least according to the uber app. As you can see theres no cars parked on the side of the road, no black cars. Reporter but this is where they are supposedly parked hovering in space over the airport offramp. 2. 5 miles away, this is the cell phone parking lot where uber drivers with proper airport permits are supposed to park and wait for fares. So whats going on . They hacked into the app and fooling their uber phones into thinking they are first in like every line at the airport when theyre not. Reporter he explains the app assigns the fare to the closer uber driver automatically so drivers across the country have been reportedly hacking their uber issued phones to make it appear they are closest to the most lucrative fares in this case the airport. If you want to get an airport ride you have to cheat. Reporter meanwhile, for months, honest drivers like chris have been losing money waiting for if uber to take action. If it affected customers it would be done tomorrow. But cheating between drivers is it not their top priority apparently. Reporter it seems it is now. 24 hours after we reached out to the company uber announced its disabling the hacked phones and refunding consumers who got rides from those drivers simply because their drivers broke the rules. In a statement, uber says, any partner who manipulated the platform to their own advantage will be deactivated from the uber network. And while chris certainly doesnt want his fellow drivers punished, he will be glad to finally have access to airport fares again. Double my income. Reporter now, uber told us it was working on disabling those hacked phones this afternoon and riders should automatically get a refund if they got a ride from one of those drivers. This only impacts drivers who have the proper permits to pick up at the airport. Uber x drivers dont even show up on the apps near the airport. Thank you.
