Reporter yeah, good morning, emotional time for that homeowner. Theyre just finishing up here on the 500 block of the avenue. Now that home was yellow tagged, that it would be an uphill battle. It wouldnt make this morning any easier for them. We literally, from the ground up rebuilt the inside, except we took it down to the studs and we left the studs. Reporter melissa and her husband bought this hom nearl a decade ago, and until toda it was the last remaining home on the 500 block of the avenue. It sits on a cliff side reset by erosion. Caused by heavy storms and king tides over the years with dozens falling on the beach or eventually getting bulldozed. They tried to save the home last april, even sliding it 20 feet away from the cliff, but that didnt help. They eventually sold the property to the city of pacifica last year and after todays demolition, its going to be incorporated into a new trail. We researched before we bought the house. We thought wed have longer here. Reporter residents feel the demolition is in the best interest of the community. It needed to come down. Its dangerous. I dont want to see anything going sliding down into the ocean. Reporter and now melissa and her husband are left to figure out whats next. A future that wont include this home in pacifica. Its the memories that are happy even though this is sad. Itll be different tonight when it gets dark. And im thinking about it. Reporter taking you guys back out here live at that demolition, boy, just standing here, you could see how close that home was to the cliffside, of course it has been demolished as were seeing right now.

Laura and marcus, we have noticed that so far, it looks like crews are making a lot of progress clearing the debris for many of the major roadways in the neighborhoods here. So it was easier for us to get around this morning through the roads that were impassable yesterday. Weve also seen many more workers out here and Utility Companies taking down the power lines. Socal gas is here repairing what smells like a gas leak just up the road. So thats good news with that situation, but, the bad news is in terms of the major damage to the infrastructure, thats still a big problem. Over here, if you walk here, you can see that this home is completely unrecognizable. You cant even tell the rest. And it was wiped off its foundation. This is all the damage. This isnt something that youre going to be able to deal with in a few days.

So, this is the damage that were seeing in many parts of month see toe, particularly the glenn oaks neighborhood which is this neighborhood right here. And then, of course, you have the giant bolders that are along the sides of the street, off lot of the trees that are down, the power lines again, a big problem, and then down the way right there, you can see that big piece of equipment thats working hard to remove a lot of the debris and just put it to the side so that crews can continue their work here. You cant see the street because its covered in mud. And then, of course, there are these search and rescue efforts that are continuing in this area. As you mentioned, there are still eight people missing, more than a dozen people killed. Many out there still hopeful that their loved ones will be found. And yesterday, when we talked to Santa Barbara county Fire Department, the spokesperson told me that they are still hopeful they are going to be searching as long as they can for survivors, but of course, we do know that the longer it takes, the more difficult that path becomes.

New this morning, the San Jose Police department has signed an mou or memorandum of understanding with School Districts within the city. This changes the role of Police Officers who work on school campuses. Called resource officers. The new agreement means officers will be on campus solely for security purposes to keep the schools safe. In the past, those resource officers were also called in to handle disciplinary actions of a student. And that action sometimes leads to the arrest of the students. The chief of police says hes been planning to address the issue for some time. The Police Department will hold a News Conference this morning to make the official announcement. Our Investigative Unit has been looking into the impact that this has had on bay area students. Our team in fact has been honored with two prestigious ate wards for their series. The peabody award and the dupont award. It happened again, another near miss at sfo between two planes and now an investigation has been launched. Faaays on Tuesday Morning, a flight wasbout to land on the wrong runway. At the same time, sitting on that runway, a Virgin America flight about to take off. Aeromexico flight was only about 500 feet from landing when it had to pull up to go around to make a correct landing. Aviation expert explains how much time that Virgin America plane had to get out of the way if the aeromexico flight had landed on its runway. Youre looking at maybe 20 seconds, 15, 20 seconds to cover a miles distance. It was close, but there was more than enough time. The faa is now looking into what happened. There have been two similar incidents in the past nine months at sfo. So whats the best job in america . Coming up, well tell you about that occupation and why is reigned supreme. Plus they push to recall the south bay judge who proceeded over the rape case. What happened just a few hours ago that could throw that judge off the bench. And congress confused this morning as the president criticized a bill he wanted them to pass. When the midday news continues. Clara county judge just produced a petition with nearly double the signatures well the campaign to recall a santa clara judge just produced a petition with nearly double the signatures needed to qualify for the june ballot. Judge aaron persky has been under fire to a sentence that was less than a tenth of what prosecutors were asking for six months versus 72 months. Nbc bay area sanchez was there as those signatures were handed over. Chri what happens now . Reporter i can tell you laura and marcus, there were those brown card board boxes they use for files at the office, tlerp 11 of those full of almost 100,000 signatures, theyre now in the hands of the Santa Clara County registrar of voters offense. All of this part of that effort to recall judge persky. Just about two hours ago, volunteers walked those 11 boxes into the Registrars Office where they were formerly received and stamped. Now the volunteers gathered the signatures over the last four months at stanford, farmers market, san Jose Christmas in the park, other community events, any place where they thought large groups of people were going to gather. Before handing the signatures over, michelle who chairs that committee to recall the judge says the volume of the signatures speaks to the outrage of the troubling pattern of decisions in cases regarding women. The voters of Santa Clara County are saying loud and clear that they will hold judge persky accountable for his favor of athletes and other privileged offenders who commit sex crimes and violence against women. Reporter so heres what happens next, 58,000 signatures are required to qualify for the ballot. The santa clara registrar of voters has 30 days to verify those signatures if its qualified the measure then goes on to the june ballot. Recall persky, the Committee Plans to continue voter outreach up until the election they say. If voters recall him, he would only be the third judge in california history to be recalled since it became an option, that was only in the early 1900s. Without referencing the turner case, with the judge submitted his own 198word statement to the registrar that reads in part, as a prosecutor, i fought vigorously for victims, as a judge, my role is to consider both sides. California law requires every judge to consider rehabilitation and probation for first time offenders. Its not always popular, but it is the law and i took an oath to follow it without regard to Public Opinion or my opinions as a former prosecutor. Now if you would like to see the full press conference that happened here, just about two hours ago, you can watch that on my facebook page, kris sanchez nbc bay area. Those are in the hands of the registrar. We could get early results in as early as ten days because they take a random sample and then they see how many of the random samples qualify and whether or not to go forward.
