At last check, 21 were injured including 4yearold boy and most have been released from local hospitals and a 6 62yearold remains intensive care. Firefighters responded and sprayed foam on the plane and the cause of the fire is under investigation. But the National Transportation safety board.

It it was in 2011 and it was due to turbulence. There were no serious injuries. Im liver in the Satellite Center, chad pradelli, channel 6 action news. Jim. Thank you, chad.

Claire and colin sat down it was amazing to watch them do. It they piece by piece all started to come together. The process of putting all the sparts together took two days and when all done, well, as you can imagine, colin could not wait to see what he could do with it. The first thing it i picked up was sprinkles can. And i threw it across the room. Yeah. Triumph yes. I think that givers him a sechs empowerment.

Hush my darling. Dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. [snoring. ] hush my darling. [snoring. ] dont fear my darling. The lion sleeps tonight. [snoring. ] take the roar out of snore. Yet another innovation only at a sleep number store. There are 1600 taxis in philadelphia. Tasked with serving all residents and visitors to our city. But, tonight an undercover investigation is exposing a disturbing problem. Some of those drivers may be discriminating against passengers failing to pick up some people when those people need help the most. Action news Investigative Reporter we when is here with results of her two month long investigates. What did you find. Jim we were tipped off taxi drivers were allegedly discriminating against people with disabilities and our team geared one hidden cameras and with help of three volunteers we took to the streets. What we discovered was so largeing the Philadelphia Parking Authority is promising to investigate and pull licenses if necessary. Now im trapped in this chair. It moons a whole lot. A stroke in 2008 left former truck driver joe watson paralyzed and in blink of eye his world changed went from being independent to depending on the help of others. Like the summer when he convenient toured into the city to pick up medication. After all that went by and still no cab. After calling and waiting five hours in a downtown hoe it will a taxi family came and what happened next watson said left him stranded again and completely discouraged. He looked me in my face and drove off and it makes you feel less than human. With help of ed bomba mall ina and frank we went undercover to see what taxi drivers with do if they had a choice to pick up ablebodied person or person with disabilities you. Didnt see her waving but saw me waving. I did not see her. We watched as two cab drivers pulled a uturn to pick me up while passing her. Why didnt you pick her up. Most drivers said they didnt see our volunteers. I dont see her. I didnt see her. And watch this cab driver who passes oes and stopped for me he and suddenly says he has a customer. But you were not going to pick up that woman handicapped. I have a customer. I dont see a customer in the back. I have was this guy who said our guide dog cooper was not wearing a sign. You dont see a sign by the dog. You think the dog has to have a sign service dog. Yes. Wearing a sgleingt yeah. I think they have a sign by the dog. Others just said they dont do dogs. I dont do dogs. Okay but you have to its a service dog. I dont do dog. This one thought he was being shivel russ passing somebody blind. In instances we put volunteers on streets alone outside at rush hour many empty cabs stopped to accommodate bomba and dog and on one day 90 cabs passed him up before one stopped. I changed from a human being to a crippled person. I didnt know the extend of the discrimination. Theres a woman in a wheelchair. We took videos to vince fenertr executive director of Philadelphia Parking Authority the agency that licenses cab drivers. I find it just disgusting. We showed him a blatant violation of federal and city regulations. Its my opinion that people treat handicapped and blind like this. They do not belong serving public with a lis embarrass. And he promised to take appropriate action. Can you tell me why you didnt stop for the woman there handicapped. She was in front of me waiting for a cab. The ppa recently issued another 150 medallions for handicapped accessible passes to be added to city fleet as 15 a year for ten years and in addition theyre pushing lawmakers to pass regulations that would require all new taxis to be handicapped ak set cec i believe. I was going to say if these individuals have resource. But it looks like theyll rely on the Parking Authority to do their bidding. And theyre going bring the cab drivers in. Well see. I have a hunch youll be following up thank you wendy. China doing away with notorious the policy was enacted 19 70s to control population growth.
