We are going to close it up. I got some of my men coming down to close the building up. Structurally the building wasnt too bad. We are going to have an engineer check that out but at this point doesnt look like theres any structural damage. The frames for the glass and wall have to be replaced. Reporter the only good news is no one was seriously injured in this wild chase scene out here on route 22. That is the latest live from union. Anthony johnson, channel 7 Eyewitness News. Thank you, anthony. Now to other story, four people injured including two critically after a hangar partially collapsed at newark airport. This happened as a construction crew worked on the hangar at brewster road. Toni yates is at the scene this afternoon with all the breaking details. Toni. Reporter yes, we will start with the good news first, all nine of the workers that were in hangar 14 that you see there behind me being demolished, all of them were quickly accounted for, four as you said were injured, they were taken to University Hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. Now to what happened. Its the old United Airlines hangar number 14. Newscopter 7 was overhead. She was being prepped by crews for demolition that was scheduled for tomorrow. Now, obviously something went very wrong and part of that building buckled while the workers were inside. Port Authority Police came, the Fire Department responded. They all stayed for at least an hour and then they left, which is usually a sign that there is no more imminent danger. United was scrapping this hangar since it opened a brand new 190,000 square foot Maintenance Hangar that he opened last year. Hangar 14 in its history hosted numerous dignitaries over the course of her life which many decades. President nixon was back there in 1971. Back here live, crews were here until about 3 40 this afternoon. No one spoke on camera, no one spoke to the media about what may be happening tomorrow so we dont know if the demolition will go on as it was scheduled for tomorrow after this accident. For now we are live here at newark airport, toni yates, channel 7 Eyewitness News. Two firefighters suffered minor injuries battling a large warehouse fire in franklin township.

Meteorologist amy freeze live in the Upper West Side with students who are dealing with the warm temperatures. Reporter yesterdays big record breaker, kids today were facing new classes, new teachers, new friends and in some cases classrooms without airconditioning.

Reporter hot or not, students were ready to be back in the classroom even with temperatures near 90 and their parents were ready too. My kid was extremely excited. She was very excited to go back. Reporter and mom too . I was excited for her to go back too. Reporter at jfk high school in the bronx, temperatures soared to the mid80s before noon. You cant really focus when the heat too much heat, cant focus at all. Reporter but new York City School chancellor had little sympathy for the backtoschool sticky situation. One of the advantages of someone who has been in this system 50 years, i remember when there was no air conditioning whatsoever, so like i say to my children and i gave my grandchildren the other day the story of all the things they have that i never had and i managed to survive. Reporter the department of Education Reports 95 of Educational Department buildings have airconditioning in some or all of the instructional space. That means that a Resource Room or even a teachers lounge could quantify a school for having some airconditioning. Many schools with air conditioning units cannot get full use of them. Schools built before 1920 are unable to safely power multiple airconditioning units at the same time. Per regulation, teachers and parents are forbidden from bringing airconditioning or fans to school. I was surprised that we started school at all. I wanted the summer to keep going. Its really bizarre. You deal with it. Thats you just deal with it, you know. Reporter september . It wont be hot for long. Reporter that is true. Changes are upon us, for sure.

Following breaking news out of manhattans Upper East Side where we are told three people have been injured because of an outofcontrol car there crashing into a construction site. Eyewitness News Reporter josh einiger just arrived on the scene and, josh, what can you tell us . Reporter still pretty active scene here, dave, around lex between 88th and 87th, this car was coming down lexington avenue, side swiped a parked car and then wound up right here slamming into the back of a con ed work site. This was a work crew doing work on underground gas this car they say came out of nowhere, they actually watched it coming and they had to dive out of the way. One of the workers actually wound up pushed by the car under the back of this work truck which actually might have saved that workers life. At least two of the workers already taken to Cornell Medical Center a few blocks away, along with the driver of the car. We can show you video as that driver of the car and two of the workers were taken to the hospital. Police have been here on scene for much of the past hour trying to piece all of this together. The workers tell us that the driver was seemed to be foaming at the mouth, seemed to be having some sort of a medical condition when he lost control and slammed right into their workplace. None of the three hospitalized so far said to be suffering from injuries that are all of that all that serious and the driver was actually alert and conscious and talking on his cell phone when they wheeled him away and into an ambulance. Back to a live look now on lex, a flatbed coming now to tow this car out of here. There is a traffic concern, of course, on lexington at this time of day regardless and, of course, this isnt helping matters but hopefully this should all be cleaned up within the next half hour so. Live on the Upper East Side, josh einiger, channel 7 Eyewitness News. Scary moments on board a British Airways flight in las vegas when it burst into flames just before takeoff. Passengers scrambled to escape using emergency slides to get off the burning plane on the tarmac. This happened in las vegas. 170 people were on board flight 2276 which was headed to Londons Gatwick airport. 14 passengers were taken to a hospital. Experts say a mechanical failure could have caused the engine on the 777 to explode. Federal investigators now looking into exactly what happened. Well, starting tomorrow, another town in new jersey will be added to the communities calling for outdoor water restrictions. Officials in mahwah are telling residents to conserve water, lack of rain, excessive demand for water and high temperatures causing a shortage at united water. The restrictions go into place from midnight tonight to 6 00 a. M. Heres what you need to know. If you have an even address, this affects you on mondays, wednesdays and fridays and if you have an odd address, youre prohibited from using water on tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. Water is what we need in many parts of the area and we are getting in the form of a flood advisory now, right . The thing is this is isolated. Its almost Staten Islands private storm right now moving over to brooklyn. So think of it tonight, there are these spotty, heavy downpours and then tomorrow some relief. Not going to help everything because weve had a very dry pattern but a couple of spots that pick up a couple inches of rain. We have seen an inch of rain, dramatic shot. Youve got this bright sun shining sort of shining halo over Lower Manhattan to the left, youre looking at the basically the Northern Edge of the thunderstorm, over new york harbor, over Staten Island and crossing over the verrazano into brooklyn right now and just a couple of rain drops are reaching midtown and we are on the Upper West Side here, nothing happening here, dry. It depends on where you are right now but if youre under this storm, its tiny. 85 degrees right now, a south wind at six, managed to sneak in the 90degree temperature so that makes it the third heatwave of the season. Today was day three. 19th 90degree day, the average is 17. This is another amazing stat. 62 straight 80degree days. Thats just remarkable. We may actually break that streak tomorrow. That is the record. Storms stay spotty tonight, more widespread downpours tomorrow, flooding is possible on city streets and your neighborhoods, highways, poor drainage we are concerned about, the heavy, slow moving downpours. 91 in wrightstown so we have had showers trying to cool off the numbers, 81 in newark, still 90 in andover, 83 in islip and the dew points are around 70 degrees. Its very sticky and uncomfortable, so the atmosphere is now full of water and we are going to ring it out with a cold front coming through and you see the drier air with the lower dew points to our west. That comes in by friday, not by tomorrow. So basically from now all the way through tomorrow i have to include a shower or thunder threat in the forecast but really through the overnight and into the Morning Hours tomorrow through the these are all really spotty chances so its scattered storms, not storming all the time but you get caught under one of these and you can see some flooding in the area. But i think they are more widespread later tomorrow into tomorrow evening. So notice just over the past couple of hours, this all just blossomed really over parts of Middlesex County and over parts of union county and now just exploded over the verrazano, lots of lightning there and now its going to be brooklyns storm here as things get quieter in places like south beach, Staten Island, its headed over to bushwick and over gerritsen and eventually into parts of queens. Otherwise thats pretty much the only game in town. Then you have this cold front and all this moisture here and thats why we are saying more widespread storms during the day tomorrow and then the drier air will come in tomorrow night into friday. Temperatures behind the front, you go from 90s to 70s and 60s. So showers and storms tom
