Skyfox over row home collapse in West Philadelphia today. This was all thats left of the building, on south ruby street. Now, thankfully the family who lived inside was able to get out before the collapse. And they owe it all to their pet baxter. Fox 29s dawn timoney live at the scene in West Philadelphia, what a good kitty, dawn. Reporter absolutely, lucy. Ive heard of dogs, alerting their owners to danger, but never a cat. Apparently it is pretty common. And this kitty adopted from the pspca named baxter, as you can see from the mess behind me, well, he certainly saved the day. The cat was in the kitchen, kind of making noises, woke up the family. And thank goodness baxter was acting so strange. It turns out the six year old cat was trying to let his owners know their house on south ruby in West Philadelphia was about to collapse. They sense that somethings wrong, and i think before people realize it. Oh, i dont know what it is, it is just a sense, i guess. Jen leary of red cross emergency relief, the red cross for animals, responded to the scene, as soon as she heard the hero of the day baxter was missing, in all of the commotion. Baxter ran out, but then got startled, ran back in, which is normal. Indoor cat always run to where they feel safe. Owners who got out safely thanks to baxter thought he was probably hiding in the front second floor bedroom, with the approval of licenses and inspections, and the demolition crew, leary and another member of her team, climbed a ladder, and sure enough, baxter was right there. He was a little scared, yes, he was crying, when we were in the second floor, he was crying, he wanted to get out as badly as the owners wanted him out. Baxters owners had also climbed out the roof as he was handed out the roof in a cat carrier, brought down to safety. Im so, you know, so relieved for the cat and for the family, clearly, they just lost everything they own. So to be able to go in and get baxter out, couldnt have been a better outcome from beginning to end. Now, the family was understandably too upset to talk to us on camera. They did tell me they have a place to stay, and theyre very thankful that their rescue kitty came to their rescue, by the way, lucy, were told baxter is doing just fine, getting lots of tlc. Hopefully some special treats tonight, all right, dawn timoney, thank you much. My kitty henry robert saved our family, thats a story for another day.

Happens right now, demolition is underway as precursor to an ambitious project at penns landing, ramps at market linking columbus boulevard to owed city are coming down to cap i59 and build a 4acre park near the del rare riverfront. Well, that demolition does not without it critic, who wonder why so soon, or why it all. Our bruce gordon along columbus boulevard with that story. Bruce . Lucy, one of the goals behind that plan to cap the interstate and build the park is to Better Connect old city, and penns landing, but that construction is three plus years away, and in the meantime, getting from point a to point b, may be even more of a challenge. If you didnt already know how easy the ramp made it to get from Chestnut Street to columbus boulevard, and from columbus to market street, well, forget it. Youre too late. The ramps are coming down. And the folks who live in the condominium buildings nearby are not happy about it. As you see that, what goes through your minds. To be out there with the sign laying in the roadway. The demolition of the ramps is the precursor to the nearly quarter billion dollar project, to cap i95, and build a park bounded by chestnut and walnut, front street and the river. Joe fork and his president of the Delaware River waterfront corporation, the folks in charge. What conclusion have you reached about those particular ram snaps. Theyre not needed. Theyre over built. They have limited use. Neighbors around here disagree. Some insisting the ramps are actually vital to Free Movement along columbus boulevard. Even the traffic now, the traffic flow is changed tremendously. And you think is going to make things worse . Oh, absolutely make things worse without the ramps. The ramps are used all the time. Resident. Pier three and pier five condo buildings are the closest beneficiaries of the ramp. But not the only ones. It is an issue of general Public Access to and from the waterfront. And thats lost when these ramps go away. All the way gone. Key to this dispute the fact that construction of the highway and park project still more than three years away, 2. 6acre ramp parcel sit at the Northern Edge of the yet to be built park, so does the department rwc have a developer ready to turn it into Something Special . We do not. Thats why we are now undertaking the Pre Development work necessary to really mark get the parcel. Get the ramps out of there so maybe it is attractive to a developer . Thats part of it. Neighbors believe thats the real reason why three years of fighting against the demolition has come to nothing. When the big developer wants to come in, and they dont have one, yet, when he wants to come in, that money speaks louder than anything else, certainly louder than citizens that dont want it. One other note critic of the ramp removal believe it will slow traffic on columbus boulevard, and specifically, impair first responers, police, fire, ambulance, but the drwc insist it is has talked to those first responders, and has been assured there will be not there will not and problem with response times. Lucy, iaian . Bruce, thank you. Sole alarming numbers from the journal of the American Medical Association on cte, degenerative brain disease and the nfl. Study shows that of 11 brains examined, 110 of them had traces of the disease. Sean bells here with reaction from the eagles really on a study, sean, that could change the game. Hopefully does, that right there is really scary. This has always been a problem in the nfl. But it is getting more and more attention specially because the studies like this, and because former players are actually dying early. Such as junior, so today we spoke to current and former players about the dangers of playing in the nfl. People ask me if i had a concussion. I dont even remember. Not too many people can hit me in the head. Back then players didnt really worry about concussions or the longterm effect. When youre 25 years old, you dont think about that. You almost invincible, kind of your minds set. And you just want to play. And they still do. No matter how many concussions theyve had. Had one in my career. You know, documented. But who knows how many youve had where you may have your bell running or something. Something is being done. By the league to make the game better for it players, and their future. The game is a lot safer because of the things that we now know and the way that we go about even camp. Camps are different. The way that the practice during the year is different. So that, some of that rep epp tiff things in practice is the reason why, the tapping in practice is the reason why somebodys got to believe have cte. So these guys wont experience a lot of that stuff. Even with the alarming numbers, the game still goes on. Im six years in now, i mean, it is what it is, i look at it like something were to happen to me, it is more of a sacrifice for my wife and kids like in the future. An opportunity to, you know, change their life and their futures. Listen, if there is money to be made nothing will change, especially if players have a chance to change their whole family dynamic.

President donald trump has said making drug prices competitive is a big part of his a jen darks and in a effort to combat the increasing Opioid Epidemic in the u. S. Foxs doctor mark seagull sat down with the new head of the fda to talk about what needs to happen to progress here. The man in charge of keeping president trumps promise to make prescription drugs cheaper is the new head of the food and drug administration, doctor scott gotlieb. Gotlieb says the solution is really as simple as supply and demand. More drugs on the market, means more competition, and thus lower prices. But brands name medication manufacturers dont want to share their formulas with generic competitors. And even one developed, it can take up to four years to get generics approved. If were able to get more competition on to the market, if were table to get generic competition on to the market for certain drugs that dont face generic competition, there is no question thats going to impact drug prices and lower the overall cost burdens end and give consumers more low cost options. Doctor want to cut the time from lab to pharmacy down to eight to ten month. With no tradeoff between speed and safety. I dont think that if were making the process faster that somehow were sacrificing safety. Think there are ways to make the process more efficient, get drugs to the market for quickly, and also actually increase our ability to learn about the safety and effectiveness of those products. The white house and fda are also focused on fighting the Opioid Epidemic doctor. Gotlieb says the fd a and other agencies should have been more aggressive in getting ahead of the opioid crisis. He calls it the biggest crisis theyre facing. I think what we need to do as a regular dorey agency, bends the rate of new addiction, make sure that people who are being prescribed opioids, being prescribed them for legitimate met call purpose. We know if we can reduce overall purpose to opioids, we can also reduce the rate of addiction, it is simple math. Doctor has a big job ahead of him but he hopes his multifaceted approach will make necessary pharmaceuticals more affordable, for everyone. In new york, doctor mark ziegel, fox news.
