Edward lawrence in las vegas, thank you. Well have more on this crashs connection to oakland at 6 00. Chopper 5 is live over the new span of the bay bridge where a crane collapse has brought critical construction work to a halt. What you see going on now, workers are welding trying to clean up some of that mess from today. Kpix 5s linda yee is on treasure island. She has a pretty good view of what happened. Linda. Reporter yes, i did, allen. What they have done now is removed most of the wreckage but what that crane operator was doing was removing a section of that temporary support. Thats the iron work that you see right under the new part of the span. What they were doing, that crane sits on a barge and it had a chunk of that iron work when suddenly it fell over. A witness captured these pictures just as the crane fell. First you see the crane tipping over. In the second image its gone a twisted heap of metal resting on the barge. It fell as it was removing the temporary support under the new section of the bridge. Shocking. Its like wow, whats going on . Reporter the marina manager heard a frightening grinding sound. Just kept going. And by the time i turned around, i noticed one of the cranes was gone and the scaffolding was hanging up on top and it fell on the barge. Reporter two cranes have been taking down the temporary supports for several weeks. They were installed years ago to hold up the bridges super structure during construction. Officials are investigating what caused the crane to tip over and whether the new span was damage. We do not know how it happened. Thats currently being assessed. The important thing is that no one was injured. And nothing ended up in the water and nothing is leaking in the water. Reporter does this mean that the whole project is stopped temporarily . I believe right now that work has stopped temporarily for today on bridge but it shouldnt have any impact on the work going forward. Reporter the weight of the bridge has already been transferred to the cable system. And the supports are no longer needed. So they are going to be look at safety issues and absolutely. Absolutely. Reporter okay. So how long do you think this is going to take . Again, we do not know how long this will take. Reporter as each day happens, they are not going back to work, that will eventually impact yes, that is true but again, you know, my understanding is that this should not have any Significant Impact on the work schedule. Reporter we just received late word that the preliminary inspection shows there was no structural damage to the bridge. Just a little bit of a paint scrape on the new span. They expect that work will continue tomorrow. Live at treasure island, linda yee, kpix 5. Exactly where did the crane collapse . Mobile weather lab and ken bastida are live on the boat in the San Francisco bay to show us. Ken. Reporter were out here. Mobile5 goes anywhere and today were on the bay. Were going to give you a view youll only see on kpix 5. They are cutting up a portion of the crane that fell on the barge. It may be a little confusing for you, so well walk through it. The red section that you see the sparks coming off now is the upper section of the crane that came crashing down. Just behind that, to the left, is a piece of the work that linda was talking about, the iron work that held up the road. That came crashing down as well on the barge. Now, if you pan a little left, alex, youll see the structure that they use to hold up the work, that yellow piece of steel, thats laying on top of a second barge with the second crane that was involved. Now were going to swing under the bridge and youll see the original crane that rolled over. There it is. Its laying on top of that barge over there. So three barges involved. Two cranes. Its pretty miraculous that that crane didnt come tumbling right off and into the drink. Water there is about 50 feet deep. They have that anchored right now and there are inspectors walking on it. Then well tilt up, and you can see the falls work that came ripping away. Dont know exactly how that happened. And you can they will be researching that. All of this material we are told tonight is going to be pushed over to the caltrans yard in oakland where inspectors will go over it and figure out what happened. Nobody hurt but rattled nerves by caltrans people. Reporting live from the bay, im ken bastida, kpix 5. We want to give you one more look at the section of the bridge involved in the accident. This animation shows what the steel was used for during construction. It was part of whats called the false work that supported the deck as it was being work. Once the cables were in place the deck was lifted off that structure. Video from todays incident and more you can find on our website, cbssf. Com. Services were held today for the suisun city girl found murdered in a fairfield park. 13yearold Genelle Conway Allen was buried in benicia this afternoon. Her body was found dumped in a parking lot at allan witt park this month. Her accused killer pled not guilty to rape and murder charges. Anthony lamar jones could face the Death Penalty if convicted. A bay area football coach says he was fired for doing the right thing. And now the exhead coach is suing st. Patrickst. Vincent high school in vallejo. He claimed freshman players told him about sexual hazing between teammates. He was fired because School Leaders said he was responsible for the students actions. His attorney argues cerbone was a scapegoat. We believe that ultimately, it was the dean of students, it was the principal, it was the Senior Administrative staff that was responsible for supervising the kids during that period, which was after school let out but before football practice began. A School Spokesman tells kpix 5 so far the school hasnt been served with the lawsuit. The case could take several months. Homemade, fully automatic, assault rifles. An east bay man handed over six of them to police when they arrested him. And he said he made them in his garage. Kpix 5s mark sayre is in newark where police acted on a tip about a man making guns. Mark. Reporter well, allen, this all started as the Newark Police investigation thats now been turned over to the fbi. This man is facing federal firearms charges and neighbors are stunned. This photo shows Newark Police at the home on birch street. At the time neighbors say they did not have any idea what was going on. When my mom tried coming home there was like a bunch of cops blockading everything. Reporter Court Documents tell a tale of a man building fully automatic homemade assault weapons in his garage. Newark police and fbi agents say they seized six guns from harry lewis home along with two silencers and ammo magazines. When they asked him why, he said he wanted to see if he could actually build a firearm. It was pretty scary. Reporter this neighbor says she had no idea what was going on at the home, just a couple of doors down. Thats pretty crazy. I dont know. He never really bothered anybody. I mean, we never other than he was a motorcycle guy so he always was riding his motorcycle. Thats about it. Great neighbor. Super caring guy. Reporter but another neighbor who says lewis, nicknamed bump, is a vietnam vet who would never hurt anyone. You never felt threatened or worried as a neighbor . Never, never, never. Absolutely not. Reporter Court Documents say lewis was cooperative and handed authorities a bag containing all of the weapons he had made over the past six months. In all, six guns homemade guns in this guys house. What do you think . We are afraid now. We dont know. This police is quiet. Reporter lewis places one count of possessing a machine gun. He faces 10 years in prison if convicted. In newark, mark sayre, kpix 5. A road should be good because we are the best state in the united states. Our rocky roads getting a bad report card. The reason the golden state is falling behind the rest of the country. On the menu but not on the played. Your chances of ordering a mislabeled seafood is high. Another day full of sunshine here in the bay area. Temperatures struggled to make it to 60 degrees. Find out when well cross 60 degrees and find out what we wont be doing weatherwise for the rest of the month. Your forecast is coming up. Dazed and confused. Sea lions are showing up on freeways and businesses and other places they shouldnt be. Now researchers have pinpointed whats making them sick and how people can get it too. For Road Conditions in a National Report released today. Kpix 5s anne makovec with why ing potholes, cracks, uneven pavement. California is earning low marks for Road Conditions in a National Report released today. Kpix 5s anne makovec with why the golden state is falling behind the rest of the country. Rows are bad, frustrating, need to be fixed. Ro the result of a new study didnt come as a surprise to bay area drivers. With traffic, potholes, bad. Reporter californias roadways are going downhill according to the foundation. For the past two decades the foundation tracked spending per mile on stateowned roads and measured performance analyzing things like conditions, congestion and highway deaths. Crammed california was the only state that didnt improve except in three categories. Im not surprised. Reporter according to the study we made improvements in two key areas. Reducing fatal accidents and improving our bridges. There was a ceremony today to celebrate the seismic retrofitting of the dumbarton bridge. It was very important from an economic standpoint and from the quality of life standpoint of getting people from place to place throughout the bay area and throughout the state. Reporter but while california has been spending millions on our important bridges, the roadways suffer. In 1989, 4. 1 of our urban interstates were deemed in Poor Condition but by 2008 it was almost 25 . Unless the federal government is able to step in and work as a partner, im afraid that california is going to fall farther and farther behind. Reporter much to drivers dismay. Our roads should be good because we are the best state in the united states. Reporter anne makovec, kpix 5. That seafood dinner may not be what you ordered. The findings on how often restaurants mislabel fish. Plus they wandered off dont know how to get back to the ocean. Confused and out of place, new information about the culprit causing sea lions to get sick. And how people can develop the same illness. Government just handed down new rules for millions of wireless you have lousy Cell Phone Service . The federal government just handed down new rules for millions of wireless customers who use a signal booster to fix those dead spots. Kpix 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts explains. Reporter a cell phone signal booster isnt a luxury, its a necessity for this person. If i got a call the only way to hear and talk to people i would have stand on a chair on the deck and if i lean just right i could have a conversation. Reporter thanks to this, the kpix 5 employee can now get a decent signal anywhere in his home. All the different data types and three and sometimes four bars. Reporter but rules for using these cell phone signal boosters are changing. The devices will soon come with this big yellow warning label explaining the fcc now requires anyone with a signal booster to get permission from their providers. And to register the device, as well. The concept is good. Reporter utility watchdog bill nussbaum says it causes interference with Cell Networks and says consumers shouldnt have to buy them in the first place and they certainly havent to jump through hoops to use them. They are buying the devices because services arent working. Reporter theres nothing to prevent cell phone carriers from charging you another fee once you register the device. I would not put it past them. Reporter but fee or not, don is just frustrated he may have to jump through another hoop just to make a phone call. Just one more hassle for something that only gets you back to where you should have been in the first place. Reporter so what happens now . Well, carriers must first set up the reporting system, then they should notify customer on how to register those devices. The four major carriers have promised to make this registering process easy. Remember, if you have a consumer complaint, give us a call 18885helpsu. Fish mislabeling is running rampant in the bay area and across the country. Dna testing by a Nonprofit Group found 58 of Northern California restaurants sell fish thats not what its described on the menu. Sushi restaurants are worse mislabeling fish 76 of the time. Buying it yourself is not better. The report says Grocery Stores in Northern California sell mislabeled fish 27 of the time. The fish most commonly mislabeled, snapper and tuna. No way to miss label this weather forecast. Just gorgeous. We could call it winter. [ laughter ] take a peek outside show you whats going on. Its another day with sunshine and a little breeze. Feels like winter out there temperaturewise but when it comes to a lack of rainfall, we have had only 2 rainy days for the month of february. San jose in the background where youre currently in the mid50s. 56 for you. 56 in downtown San Francisco. Good afternoon to you in oakland. Youre at 60. Tied with santa rosa concord 58. Kpix 5 highdef Doppler Radar is crystal clear. Anything but for other parts of the country. Take a listen. [ thundersnow ] thats thundersnow. Wichita, kansas. They have such unstable air and cold air that it is snowing in the middle of a thunderstorm. A rare occurrence but its going on in other parts of the country. For us mid30s. Fairfield 35, concord 37, san rafael tomorrow 37. Low 40s for San Francisco, oakland and san jose. Lets talk about whats going on because this is quite an interesting setup in the atmosphere. High pressure is off to the west. Once again, blocking all the systems. This time they are really close. We are going to see heavy rainfall north of the california oregon border but its close but not here. Take a look at these rainfall totals that youre going to see. 0 for us. All of the rain stays to the north. We likely will stay dry for another week which is the rest of february. And may not see our next rainfall until the top of next month. This is futurecast on an entirely west coast scale here. All of western washington more than three inches of rainfall. Much of western oregon more than three inches of rainfall. They are not sharing with us. Not a drop of rain for the bay area coming up over the next five to seven days. So plenty of rain to the north but we are going to stay dry into march and highs will be very close to average, which is the low 60s. Like tomorrow, concord 61. San jose 62. 62 los altos. Low 60s in fremont and hayward. Walnut creek you will hit 61. Pleasanton 60. Vallejo 60. Another sunny day in san rafael rafael. San francisco 59. Low 60s across the board through the middle of next week. These are the final seven days of february and there is not one drop of rain. Great to get outside. Not the best for a rainfall deficit. Its hard to complain about it. But running out of time. Lets just enjoy it. Okay. Thank you. Disoriented wandering sea lions are showing up on freeways and in businesses. The new clues to whats making them sick next. In new york. Scott s something we now for a look at whats ahead on the cbs evening news. Scott pelley is in new york. Scott. Reporter hi, allen and liz. Great to be with you in San Francisco. Which way is unemployment headed . Tonight we are headed to california to find out. There is Real Progress for some of those who have suffered with unemployment the most. Well have the story tonight on the cbs evening news at 5 30 right after kpix 5 news. Its something we have seen a lot of since the late 1990s, confused sea lions wandering into places where sea lions shouldnt be. Now bay area scientists are tracking down the culprit right to the very base of the food chain. Call the person we have a sea lion. Reporter they have wandered into businesses, the oakland airport, even across highway 101. I swear im not drinking or doing drugs but theres a sea lion on the freeway. Reporter at Marine Mammal center in sausalito they are all too familiar with confused sea lions, suffering with toxic algae poisoning. Distinctive head bobbing. Reporter over in tiburon researchers are learning more about whats causing it. This is where it all starts for these single celled phytoplankton. Reporter the perfectly natural usually harmless organisms that cause algae blooms big enough to be seen from space and all it takes is sunlight, Carbon Dioxide and nitrogen to make the stuff. Natural nitrate that you get off the cost here or from pollutants from excess agricultural runoff, excess fertilizers not used by the plants, say strawberries in monterey county, its flushed into the ocean. Reporter thats fuel for potentially toxic algae. They can grow just as well on the pollutant forms as the natural forms of nitrogen. Reporter from there, its up the food chain. Small fish eat the algae. Sea lions ee a lot of small fish. When too much toxin is passed along they wander up. They dont know how to get back to the ocean. Reporter the same thing happens in the rare cases when those toxins build up in people. They are totally fine in every other aspect but cant remember where they park their car. Reporter its a complicated equation from chemistry to biology and we are just starting to understand how it works and how we might be adjusting potentially dangerous variables. We have to learn how the whole ecosystem works and how do the natural environmental factors interact with unnatural factors to either allow greater growth or more toxic growth. We cant ignore the very, very beginning of the food chain. You cant move the tv there. Yuhhuh. We have a wireless receiver. Listen. Back in my day, there was no uverse wireless receiver that let you move the tv away from the tv outlet. We can move it to the kitchen, the patio, the closet and almost anywhere. Why would you want a tv in the closet . [ both laugh ] [ fancy voice ] brilliant idea, darling. [ female announce
