By the time youre heading home from work mid90s. Ill let you know how long this heat and high humidity will stick around for our area. Thats coming up in my extended full forecast. For now we check in with first alert traffic reporter Jessica Boyington. The roads are good for now. Were not dealing with a whole lot of volume. The schuylkill expressway relatively light. Were looking live around girard avenue. So we are losing out that righthand shoulder on the eastbound side. Theres a little bit of equipment in the area. Not an active work zone but something to watch out for. Headed eastbound right in here a 12minute drive time. From the blue route up towards the vine street expressway, no real problems there. Well head over to new jersey now. We are seeing just a tad more volume than normal. And a little bit earlier than we normally do, possibly some folks heading home from the shore. So northbound from 55 up towards the walt whitman bridge still seeing an easy drive time. 61 Miles Per
Marc train now stopped that hit a csx dump truck. Police tell us the dump truck was on the rail switching over to the road in that intersection and thats when it was hit. The driver of the dump truck was injured but not hospitalized. There are 620 passengers on the train. Only one of them had minor injuries, but that person also declined to be hospitalized. The ntsb is now investigating as well as fires and again passengers should be arriving shortly. Were told that there are some mechanical issues on the train, which is why they cannot move that as well as the ntsb investigation that is now currently pending. Now we are told that people should be here shortly and eventually they would like to clear up the railroad and get it back open so that people can get home sometime relatively soon. Thats the very latest here from the kensington station. Thanks. Well, two months after that horrifying quadruple murder in a d. C. Mansion and the lead investigator told a judge today he thinks some o

Cowling, what i mean is that theres a tight figtting metal covering and allows the air to flow over more efficiently. So, mark burket of the spanish Swiss Company has designed a very important series of automobile engines in the prewar era. He adapts this to the aeronautical application by taking two of his inline four engines, makes it into a v8, and what he does thats very unique is instead of having separate cylinders attached to the crank case, he casts a row of cylinders out of a solid piece of aluminum. And he has cooling packagssages those aluminum blocks that allows improved cooling and more power. So instead of a rotary engine, you know, doing 110, 120 horsepower, youre looking at 200 or 220 horsepower with these engines by the time theyre introduced in the spad xii. Theres always a technological pushpull over the western front in world war i, in which the germans have an advantage with their thick air foiled tubular steel fuselaged aircraft like the folker d 7 that you can se
