Gloom keep tourists away from San Francisco . I think a lot of things are working against us. Were so mighty. We have what you need to know before hitting the roads on this labor day holiday. A deadly festival in a deadly swamp. The latest coming out of the disaster burning manifest value. Thank you for joining us this sunday afternoon, im brian hackney. Im andrea nakano. Labor day weekend is seen as the unofficial end to summer. Many people are hitting the roads, traveling by air. And some by Public Transit to their labor day destinations. After three and a half years from the beginning of the pandemic, we checked in with some San Francisco businesses to see how theyre doing. Da lin is at pier 39 and reports the pace and recovery differs, depending on where you go. And businesses at pier 39 appear to be doing pretty well. A lot of foot traffic, but closer to downtown and union square. Thats a different story. Tourism is the sole business. The family owns San Francisco deluxe sightseei
It was up to here. Cars stuck in the mud trying to leave burning man. How long organizers expect people might be stranded there. Plus our exclusive interview with the festivals ceo. And an iconic sculpture above an east bay hiking trail gone. What happened to the pole . Good evening. Tonight thousands of people remain trapped in the nevada desert after rains inundated the burning man festival. At least one person has died. Festival organizers say the mans death was not weather related, but no other details are being released. Meanwhile, some 70,000 socalled burners have been told to shelter in place. The roads are too dangerous to drive out. That is not stopping people from trying to get out either by car or as you see here on foot. Some people deciding to make the mileslong trek through the mud, leaving their vehicles behind head together closest city for shelter. Others are trying to drive out. Video above the ground shows the long line of cars. Theyre all covered in mud, many gettin
Say that they are speaking out for peace and against some of the violence and civilian deaths in gaza. They said they are answering the call by palestinian workers for peace and more aid to palestinians. We did speak with one of the organizers. Here is what she had to say about the palestinian General Federation of labor unions called on labor unions worldwide to suspend their may day, demanding a cease fire and lifting up the voices of palestinian workers. That are clear. And back here live at Frank Ogawa Plaza, you can see a tent there. They said that they also wanted this to be a moment to really bring people together. They had information about community services, information about how people could help. There was the freedom flotilla that was here talking about their efforts in the past couple weeks to get humanitarian aid to gaza. Many of them said that they do not harbor any resentment against the people of israel. They are really trying to do this in order to stop some of the v
And more importantly, guys, look on the left side of your screen. That is the rise of the dumbarton bridge. Notice there is no movement on the left side of the bridge. That is the eastbound direction as the chp, they have their hands full still trying to remove this accident. We understand its an overturned car. Lots of problems involved. Usually, guys, they even allow cars to maybe past an accident and get going in this case. This is quite catastrophic. As you can see, theyre theyre not allowing any cars on the descent side of the dumbarton bridge, which is the eastbound side. They can even go past that accident. So it appears that it is blocked all the way back. I would presume probably even to 101, southbound. So you can see what its doing to traffic in that side and on the westbound side, its no walk in the park either as usually they can and go through here pretty quickly as this is not the workhorse of the east bay. Thats the san mateo bridge and a lot of people use the dumbarton

I counted about 50 emergency crew people behind me and the whole is at the very center of all these people where a person is apparently buried under 8 feet of dirt. Now, these rescue technicians have been here for about an hour and a half. This call came in around 10. 35 at the 1100 block of the street at the visit, street and oak. We have Fire Department crews, as i said and what i did notice, stephanie, is when i first arrived, it was extremely busy loud. Everyone was focused on the whole in terms of rescue crews. They had what looked to kind of an air sumption take machine. You can see kind of what the black to over the top. That was down in the hole in the ceiling kind of work in the sector. That was on top of the person out. I notice that machine has since been shut off and trying to Pay Attention to see it. The person is out of the
