By the oakland fire department. This is a live look right now at the empty basket there. The rescued happened minutes ago on broadway and 11th street in downtown and the workers called for help when their platform got stuck no way up or down. After assessing the situation, a firefighter was lowered down to the men and the rescue plan was put into motion. It was determined that it was safer to pull the men up on cables individually and this is the look at how they did it a short time ago. Quite a sight though as those firefighters were able to rescue the men from the platform. Apparently each window washer was pushing off exterior windows as they were brought to the roof and you can see the way that they did it there with the cables, Pretty Amazing that high up. For more on the rescue, we are, um, trying to talk to the oakland battalion chief and were going to try to get that person on the phone. But for now, the two men are safe after being rescued from this building.

There are 8 confirmed cases in california, 6 in southern california, and 2 in Alameda County. Most of the time its similar to a common cold but can cause breathing problems especially in those with asthma. Theres no vaccine, no treatment, and a lot of unknowns. From an Infectious Disease perspective its a perfect storm. Reporter the centers for Disease Control say four patients have died and 10 children in colorado have polio like symptoms of acute limb weakness. A similar case was just reported in l. A. Doctors are still trying to figure out if the virus is causing that weakness. Thats all still under investigation and its unclear but we are paying close attention to that, as well. Reporter another difficulty is that this virus can only be detected by specialized testing and a small number of public in a small number of Public Health labs and takes 2 1 2 weeks for the results to be returned.

Mayoral candidate sam liccardo is accusing the San Jose PoliceOfficers Association of what he calls dirty politics. Union president jim unland told kpix 5 as many as 200 officers will seriously consider quitting if City Council Member liccardo is elected mayor. Unland says many officers dont trust liccardo because of his close tieses to current mayor chuck reed who oversaw cuts to officer pay and benefits and pushed for pension reform. Unland made the prediction after kpix 5s kiet do asked about the rumors swirling around the department. This wasnt a story im pitching you, that you called me based on on, um, intel you gathered from talking to our officers. Um, its not a threat. Its not meant to be a scare tactic. But it is the reality. The residents i talk to hear these kinds of veiled threats, consider it political blackmail. And theyre smarter than that and theyre not going to be bullied. They know its their job to elect the next mayor not the job of a union boss. I dont think Police Officers should leave, and im a longtime resident here in the city. And i think, you know, people should stick it out and try to work it out. Both candidates have said restoring officer pay will be among their top priorities.
