four year battle with brain cancer. we will look back at what made him one of the most beloved players ever to wear a phillies uniform. scare in the sky rough, tumble turbulence, tosses drinks, luggage and people around the cabin of the flight bound for philadelphia. ten people had to be treated at the hospital. we will hear from one of the men hoist thankful to be alive hundreds of teens stormed a philadelphia block after a rec center barbecue. and it is not the first time this summer. why some are saying that it is all a big misunderstanding. and this is going to be a wash out, umbrellas will be the accessory of the day, and rain and thunderstorms move in the delaware valley. yes, yes, i did use the word glushes. when was last time you said g lushes. >> been a long time. >> say that austin grab your g lush these morning, what? >> if you lose one is it a g lush. >> that is great. >> i'm on fire for a monday. >> yes. >> yes. >> hey, everybody, it is august the seventh. >> good morning to you. >> you probably knew that. >> so our number today is a five. that may end up being generous just depend on how your trip going to work or coming home, because we're expecting rain and lots of it, bus stop buddy is ready with his umbrella, temperatures in the 60's and zero seven's and we don't expect temperatures to move that much. every once in a while on radar we will see lightening pop up, nothing in our viewing area just yet, there were rumbles of thunder around baltimore earlier. here's temperature. 69 degrees. 7-mile an hour wind out of the west and it will rain on and off all day with just a few thunderstorms for good measure and if you get one that can be a soaking rain. we will give you rainfall estimates in a few moments. bob kelly, how are folks doing out there in the showers. >> not good. we have had quiet mornings last couple of weeks or so but this morning rain hit and we have accidents every where. northbound i-95 a crash at girard causing delays, leaving center city. we're jammed autopsy cross town on the vine expressway all trying to get over to 95 northbound at girard avenue. we have an overturn vehicle here on route one, this is in delaware county, southbound, route one, just south of the blue route heading down toward route 252, accident scene right here in the background penndot pulled out, zoomed out here but heading south on route one, from the blue route watch for delays and then septa's route 11 and 13 trolley they are running normal services. they were supposed to start a project, they have postponed. that aim not sure why if the weather had anything to do with it but nevertheless trolleys are running on the regular routes in the 11 and 13 today. mike and alex, back to you. i went to bed early, you may be breaking this news to you right now, sad news, as we continue to remember former phillies catcher darren daulton who passed away yesterday at the age of 55: he had been battling brain cancer for, four years. best none for 1993 season. actually his best season as far as statistics was 92 but 93, phillies won pennant and were two games away from winning the world series. >> oh, joe cart's begins blue jays. >> we will go to steve keeley who has been in bala cynwyd who has been remembering him and his legacy here in philadelphia. >> reporter: if you north from philly at doesn't take to live in philadelphia to realize that sports is everything to this town. if you don't know how everything is to people list don't radio this morning. we're outside in the rain at 97.5 where show is done on the fourth floor and again, i'm surprised as people call in, and cry over the telephone as they talk about darren daulton and here are the two morning host. >> dutch represented someone who really meant a lot. that 93 team was amazing. even though they didn't win they just went down in our hearts. they lasted and it was all because of dutch. now look that locker room had scoundrels and creeps and juicers, but dutch was the guy that made them palatable. he was a guy we loved and gravitated to. >> one of the few athletes in philadelphia where your dad and mom knew for different reasons but everybody in the household was aware of dutch. he was the alpha in that clubhouse as anthony said. he stood out for that reason. he was a hell of a ball player as well. if you were 15 then, 30 then you recognize what he meant to the city. that is why so many people have broken hearts. >> reporter: recognize what he meant to this radio station which wasn't doing sports when daulton played but when they were putting stuff in the hallways, here, they put darren daulton's larger then life image up among their talk show pictures and frames. that just shows i they didn't just put that up to day. that has been up. that shows you the meaning that he had for the sports host here as well, because there is a lot of great athletes in philadelphia history and him, mike schmidt, lesean mccoy and that is not many people up there, a few of the flyers but darren daulton is philly that i noticed going up there for you viewers wondering why did they call him dutch? this is the story i got way back when. his first wife, who was fame news her own right for being the first hooters girl and i think she's a sports show host right now lynn austin. she said his haircut reminded her of the kid on the paint cans on dutch boy paint and that is where name came from i may start calling us his nickname that the phillies gave him because he was from arkansas city, kansas, and i don't know good they pronounce it arkansas, kansas. >> no. >> but because he was from kansas they called him bub a you are our buba, in honor of dutch daulton and being from kansas. >> is what another famous buba >> bill clinton. >> bill clinton, from arkansas , but in kansas, we call the city he was born in a rk city, arkansas city. >> buba reference from arkansas and arcan saw. >> i'm glad, steve shared this , because we were just talking about that. he had great hair. >> fantastic hair. >> it did go into a mullet. >> everybody was doing that. >> yes. >> late 80's, early 90's. i had one too. >> lenny dykstra who played with dutch, good friends, he shared a video on line paying tribute to his friend. >> so dykstra read a portion of the letter that daulton wrote to the judge, while lenny dykstra was in prison. >> yes. >> very nice. >> here it is. >> your honor, can i pray provide him the opportunity to make amend with himself and the people that love him. darren daulton. >> i'll miss you dutch, i'll miss you, man. millions of more people feel the same way. >> my gosh, for sure. >> he wrote darren kept us all together, playing in philadelphia, fun again. >> yes. >> okay, all right. so, like steve said, dutch would take a picture, i mean, anytime anybody asked him. so we're getting a lot of those in. i got a chance to meet dutch, what a great guy, he had us all smiling. when we walk in the room with him, everybody started laughing. rest in peace, dutch we were so happy on this day, thanks for the memories. >> yes. >> and then this one, rip darren i'm sure dawn will love to see new heaven, give her a hug. >> kathy, scott commented i met him at beach creek, and he was just a sweet man who spoke to everyone. >> oh, yeah, always had a good tan too. loved the state of florida. back to another story here police in germantown are investigating another group, probably two or 300 young people running through the streets last night running into traffic. this is second sunday night they gathered at lonnie young rec center, and by the time the evening ended, they were taking things at the cops and yelling at them.& >> so lauren johnson is at the rec center with the very latest, lauren? >> reporter: hey alex, weather kind of nasty but yesterday was a perfect 10 which makes it a good excuse to talk on social media, text and say lets meet up at lonnie young rec center to enjoy weather, chill by the pool, play basketball, except too many teams had same idea. in the end there was 400 of them here. our cameras were on the scene once police started to move the kid out of the area. they have been crowding streets, blocking traffic and forcing septa buses off their usual routes. police were met with tension as police started yelling, consideration at them but they tried to peacefully redirect the kid to head home to meet the cities curfew ordinance. police helicopters were watching overhead while officers on the ground tried to keep those kid calm. there are some reports that a there may have been a fewand violent outburst, nothing major considering the large number of kid who were here. this situation not an isolated incident. the teens did the same thing three weeks ago in the same location back on that date july 16th. no arrest where is made, no violence reported by police. well, one city council woman in charge of the district and area has posted a question that maybe this behavior shows the need to extend the rec center program activities into sunday evenings in the summer. speaking of summer, we still have a few more weeks left here with the children, school , mike and alex doesn't start until september 5th. >> that is a good point. >> yeah. >> 7:11. >> a 13 year-old boy rush to the hospital after being injured in the late night shooting. philadelphia police say teen was walking down the street when someone opened fire, striking him in the leg. it happened around midnight on sensing ton avenue and east ontario street, at last check police are still looking for the shooters. u.s. led global campaign to punish north korea for latest ballistics missiles test is underway. >> the u.n. is imposing its toughest sanctions, yet, on north korea and china

the money kim jong unregime used to fund its missle program. secretary of state rex tillerson is in the philippines at an asian economic summit and delivered a strong message. >> i think the world is also expressing a view to china and russia that we do have a expectation thaw will do everything you possibly can to help north korea understand the reality of the future as well and bring them to the negotiating table. >> well some what strong. >> foreign minister of the china is urging his north korean count are part to stop provoking the goodwill of the international community. president trump

to the belly belt when he jumped over the seat, put deputy in the head lock caution the van to crash in the ditch. powell stole the wallet, cell phone and gun, before fleeing. >> there is no way, that is a movie. >> it seems interesting he would be able to get to the front. don't they have a wall or some type of gate. >> normally. this is somewhat small town in ohio but he has got his legs are shackled, his handcuffs are on a belly shackles and he somehow hops over drive's seat , get the guy in the head lock and the van crashes. >> it doesn't sound like it is possible, it sound like a movie script. here's sue. >> we have a lot of rain to show you on radar. looking down to the south and west we will see much more on the way. we will get several round throughout the day. there are plenty of places where the morning commute is not fun because the downpours are so heavy. here in chester county around east nottingham they have heavy rain and west fallowfield and in new jersey around bridgeton, we have got heavy downpours in springfield , delaware count soy heavy rain as well. so it is probably going to happen out and about today you'll encounter a heavy downpour. we have a flash flood watch in effect but that starts later on in the day, so one of our computer models, european model we have been showing you different model every time. i think that is the average throughout the day. but if you get a pocket of really heavy rain, thunderstorm it could be more. 69 degrees in philadelphia right now. seventy-three atlantic city and wildwood. cool spot is mount pocono with 57 degrees. we are heading to 37 today, normal high 86. back in the 80's, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, even saturday and sunday with next chance of showers after friday. remember 101.1 more fm our radio partner get your forecast in the car and on tv, it is every where bob kill. >> every where, folks have that saying when it rains people forget how to drive. here's a live look do you think you are having a rough start? look at this guy sideways across the platt bridge, a live look, at an accident scene, coming into southwest philadelphia, soy anybody leaving the airport area this guy is sideways across the lanes and we are bumper to bumper all the way back to the airport. it looks like somebody leaving southwest fail only one lane with the police, your best bet to or from the airport, girard point double decker. we have had accidents all morning long, the minute we got some rain, bam, we started to rack them up. here's a live lot an overturn vehicle trying to make out the vehicle. we were zoomed in. you could see it, upside down. this is a live look southbound lanes of the route one just south of the 252 which is in media, row trees park area there. you can see the heavier -- i wouldn't be surprised if thinks all flooded out. do you see log flum style here action with the cars here rolling south on route 16789 rain is coming quick and hot and heavy. make sure you give yourself extra time. mike and alex, back to youy bet everybody watching has an air turbulence story. >> i don't think it is like this one. >> this probably tops them all >> rough ride, plane load about 300 people traveling from greece to philadelphia. >> severe turbulence sent 10 people to the hospital, look at these photos. this was on a american airlines flight as mike mentioned on saturday. >> this was shortly before landing when they ran in the turbulence. 287 people along with a dozen crew members. witnesses say passengers hit the ceiling because the plane was shaking and also dropping in altitude. >> one of those passengers, a man by the name of doctor irving fang joins us now via skype. well, welcome back to philadelphia, i know you are in los angeles. sorry for the reception coming in for a landing in philadelphia how are you describing this to your friend s. >> it was the war turbulence you have ever experience in your life, war roller coaster ride. it started off rough from the beginning and got progressively worse until this horrible bump like running in the speed bump everything splattered up, sprayed and scattered all around. >> what was interesting we heard you guys had no warning. normally pilot will say we are going to get into bumpy area. you had no warning. >> you know, it was getting rough. we were just continuing beverage service. they had seat belt light on and they were recommend ago this everyone and flight attendants go back and stop beverage service right then. so there was warning. just not much. only a couple minutes by the time attendants got back it was too late to buckle in and put everything aside and lock everything up and we got knock around. >> had you don't your peanuts they would have been all over the cabin. >> good thing i didn't order coffee because they stopped right by my seat and stopped ordering coffee. and, within a minor so, everything was splattered all the way around. >> what were people doing. sometimes people get quiet, other times people scream? what was going on. >> i think everyone was just shocked and scared to death because the plane was rumbling so much until this tremendous bump went on that we were just really afraid that the plane was going to crash, it would be the end really. i just thought if it continued any longer it wasn't going to look good. >> how long did it last. >> well, whenever you are in a situation like it this feels like it lasts forever but i would say probably a good at least five minute where it was really rough until everything just suddenry bumped and drinks splatteed all over the ceiling, people were in shock, one lady just was in total dis belief and just didn't want to open up. everybody was truly scared that we were going to crash. >> we have all had turbulence did you think you were going to die. >> well, after that first bump , you know, i was trying to stay calm throughout the whole thing but it didn't stop , i was truly fearful that the plane was going to crash and here we are in the middle of the ocean before landing in philadelphia. >> so, what are you thinking at that point. do you have family. >> i do, i was traveling with my mother and sister coming back from crew from atens and flying try to make connection back to los angeles and you really don't want to think built but you consider what would happen, what would be those last moments someone flying on the plane in a crash and this is one of the few moments where i think plane even descended a little bit and made me fearful that perhaps we were going down but then stabilized and we were okay. once it stopped and we knew we were going to land and pilot came on board, saying that, you know, even he was surprised that we had so much turn blends. >> you know it is a concern when the pilot says he was surprised about something i don't know how to feel about that. >> there is not much you can do. we're actually all in his hand is you are a doctor, doctor fang did anybody get on and say is there a doctor on the plane or in the house. >> actually they did make that they did mention a few minutes after that accident that several flight attendants and passengers were injured. so at that time i went back in the back galley and found out one flight attendant dislocated a shoulder, another injured her other shoulder fell back, hit her head, another surgeon and i were trying to relocate a dislocated shoulder. >> yes. >> so this flight attendant was in so much pain they put tissue paper in his mouth so he wouldn't yell and scream during repositioning. >> they jam your arm back into the socket. >> he nasa lot of pain. >> did you see someone hit the ceiling. >> it happened so quickly, no. you are all in your own zone when that is happening but i saw several passengers while they were seated have ice bags on their head. >> did you drive back to los angeles. >> no, i had to run through customs and to the next gate to catch barely catch my flight. >> how was that one smooth. >> actually before we landed in los angeles there was little bit of turbulence i said this could not be happening again, but it was fine. >> come back to philly and we will shake things up. i mean we won't. >> no, i hope not. >> thanks for talk with us. i know it is early where you are. >> take care. >> okay. >> no thanks. >> just getting on the plane in two days. >> really. >> interesting. >> make beer not walls. >> brewery comes up with a new way to ease tension at the border. >> the board of mexico, and u.s. >> beer brings people together >> um-hmm, okay. a brewery has plans to open up a new craft beer bar right on the border of the united states and mexico. >> they say it is not just about the beer but message too , lauren, what is the message. >> what is the message. >> reporter: unite, come together over beer so it is a swiss brewery that wants to open up a bar, half of tonight texas, half of it in mexico on the mexico side they sell craft american beer and on the american side they sell mexican beer, don't necessity how you ever get regulatory approval for this but it is all about bringing people together the beer summit do you remember president obama's beer summit between harvard the black professor arrestedby white cop. they came together over a beer i guess beer makes people unite, crazy idea i'm united with a few people with beer involve. >> really. >> when is it supposed to opened or sit already opened. >> no, no, i don't think it will ever open if you ask my don't know either. >> so is what the point. >> just to get people talking. >> yes, they are basically saying, my opinion is they oppose the idea of the border wall so if you do something like that they will show both side can come together. >> it is a beautiful facility. >> it is made of shipping containers is prototype. >> fantastic. >> dotted line on the border which would be dot thed line in the bottom of the bar. if you cross it, i guess it was illegal. >> maybe we will see you tomorrow and will teal tell us more about something that is not happening. >> i'll see you guys then. >> okay, bye. >> i love her. >> she's

already, bob kelly, it is already wreaking havoc on the roadways. >> we hear the saying people forget how to drive when it rains and that has been the case this morning. we have had accidents every where. here's a live lot the platt bridge closed coming into southwest philadelphia, so we're leaving airport just a parking lot across the span, all because of an accident that would be on the left

alex, back to you. phillies legend darren daulton has passed away at 55 after a four year battle with brain cancer. >> darren was a key member, of course, of the 1993 national league champion ship team, and the longest tenured catcher in phillies history. of course, his hard nosed play and million-dollar smile, and that good head of hair, made him a fan favorite, in philadelphia, and howard eskin looks back. >> i consider baseball a job. >> reporter: did he that job as well as any catcher in phillies history. >> base hit center field. >> reporter: he was born darren arthur daulton in

national league in rbi's with 109. >> off the top of the fence. it will get two home. >> reporter: but forever remembered as the face of the 1993 phillies team, a team that played and lived hard, and in doing so, captured the imagination of philadelphia they came within two games of capturing the world series that fall. >> outta here. >> reporter: daulton would finally get his world series ring as a member of the 1997 florida marlins, and retired after that game. >> florida marlins have won the world series. >> reporter: his championship ring may have said florida but was and will always be a

stories they have learned over the years. you have stories too, tell us, interesting when you first met >> well, we met, through a dear friend of mine dave, who works for yuengling. we hung out a few times, just for a few drinks in clearwater at tiki bar which i proposed they named the bar after darren. phillies have been wonderful to his foundation and we have had great memories with darren i went to fantasy camp with our, president and a few other polish folks, that served on this board and had great honor of inning uniform donning his number with darren a pair of flip-flops, shorts and t-shirt so just great memories. but most importantly the inspiration, even after he was diagnosed, i was with him the friday night before he was diagnosed in audubon, pennsylvania right near my house at chickie and petes and he just drove the message of wanting to help people, families that are affect by the same disease he was. >> that is the foundation. >> brain tumors, brain dip sees. our

phillies. this stuff is all annual stuff we do no overhead, no administrative cost it goes straight to families it shows who he was, the fact that he was dealing with it himself and this foundation was started right after he got diagnosed he was still thinking of others and helping him out. >> that is how darren rolled. that is how he rolled. i don't think there is one person that you can search this city to find an enemy. i don't think you will. he loved everybody. no matter who you were, what i stood for, whatever your class was, and just a wonderful opportunity to meet him. >> you remember back when we did the interview, back in 2013, just after he got diagnosed and he had yellow bandana on and he talk openly about being diagnosed with brain cancer. >> the other day that it happened i was like what, are you doing this? i was like what? all right. well, let's do what we have to do. it just doesn't look good, especially when they show me this i say all right, hey we're in philadelphia. if you are an athlete you go through the stuff that happens >> and then it looks like we were in the clear a couple years ago and then it came back. >> you know, there were mixed media

up. the city of philadelphia and region cannot give up on him. >> yes, please he may be gone, physically but he is not gone with the inspiration that he drove home to so many people in our region. >>

phoenixville, limerick around norristown, montgomery county, we will jump down to south jersey, vineland pocket of heavy rain right there and up in cheltenham just north of us here in philadelphia, again very heavy rain so with all this rain all day long several inches could build up and we could get flash flooding and watch is in effect for later in day. mostly average an inch but a lot of the computer models aren't factoring in the possibility of the thunderstorm and heaviest downpours from those. 69 degrees in philadelphia right now not much of a rise in temperature staying in the lower 70's all day, we have to remine ourselves it is still august but by middle of the week we are in the mid 80's and we will stay there but no extreme heat in the forecast for quite a while. >> thank you

they went over a million fans in attendance. it was a big deal. guess what, 93 team went over 3 million. that was a record until we see these modern day teams in the nice new old fashion ballpark. so
