Reporter raj, the city wants to put that tribute to maya angelou in front of the main library abehind me. We spoke to the artist. She was selected to create this art piece only to be rejected. Now shes frustrating saying her time was wasted and says the expectations were not clear. Lava thomas spent months planning and designing this 9 foot bronze monument. Its shaped like a book featuring a portrait of maya angelou and a quote. If someone has courage, nothing can dim the light that shines within. Reporter last night erect a piece of art at the citys main library paying tribute to the author, poet, and civil rights activist. A panel selected thomas. This is another view. Reporter she was honored. There arent have many public monuments created by women, let alone monuments to women. Reporter but the feeling didnt last long. The Arts Commission rejected her piece because its not a traditional sculpture. It was my understanding that we had full reign to interpret what a monument could be, a contemporary monument. Reporter thomas calls the rejection unbelievable. Its ridiculous to waste my time when im not given explicit instructions. Reporter supervisor katherine stephanie sponsored the ordinance. The legislation called for a significant figurative representation. And the only fairway to move forward is to give all the artists a chance to meet the legislative intent by issuing new rsp with clear criteria. So, the city will be starting over accepting new proposals from artists. Lava thomas tells us she will not be resubmitting hers. Ali, thank you. Robin williams has been watching over a stretch of Market Street for more than a year but thats about to change. This mural prominently featuring his ice blue eyes will be gone.

Still to come new details on a south bay stand off involving a ups truck, what new video is revealing about the moment before officers one fir also not prepared for this emergency. We investigate the fire at that fuel Storage Facility in contra costa county. Mostly clear in san jose right now but ill have details on when clouder could return. That forecast coming up in about eight minutes. I was in Candlestick Park in San Francisco preparing to announce game three of the world series. We had opened up the telecast and we all knew what took place at that point, the loma prieta earthquake and how it shook that ball park. Thats a night that nobody who was in candlestick in San Francisco will ever forget. It was tense drama that played out on valentines day and on live tv. A ups driver carjacked in san jose and that led to high speed chase and Police Shooting and killing. Today the santa clara District Attorney released police video of that chase from start to finish. The d. A. Made this video public that calls the shooting justified. Deputies say the ups driver saved the day when he deliberately drove over a spike strip. When the truck stopped, the stand off became more tense. The next thing in my head is where are the suspects. Now im concerned theyre going to open up this back door and start shooting at us. He eventually ran from the truck toward a build being the shotgun in his hand. A San Jose Police officer shot and killed him. It is not just a clean up, but its an investigation.

Also happening now, the ocke Fire Department is staying on top of the hotspots around the plant. Remember this runs right along interstate 80. That plant remains sunday shut down this evening. Jackso Jaxon Van Derbeken has been looking into the nustar tank farm and learned that Staff Members fled after the fire erupted without turning on the automated Fire Suppression system. Heres what else jaxson found out about that incident. Reporter nbc bay area Investigative Unit broke the story that authorities served a search warrant on the facility yesterday. We still dont know how the fire first started, but now weve learned what happened in the critical moments just after two tanks erupted in flames. Clearly there was a problem here. Ive been through enough industrial accidents to know. Reporter county supervisor john joy says nustar wasnt prepared. Apparently the nustar personnel that were on scene couldnt immediately identify what kind of product was in the particular tank. Reporter he says that knowledge is critical. The facility should know pretty immediately what is in that tank. And that of course helps the firefighter in fighting that as quickly and safely as possible. Reporter joya says First Responders couldnt get in right away because the front gate was locked. The five people working at the tank farm had left without turning on theout mated Fire Suppression system. Contra costa fire officials confirmed that frighters did face those challenges but did not want to go into detail in light of the pending investigation. The Investigative Unit has found documents showing a troubled history with this facility both before and after nustar acquired them in 2004. Paid a total of 2 1 2 Million Dollar in fines and penalties for bypassing equipment that captures ozone chemicals. Documents indicate managers lied about meeting air quality rules all between 2003 and 2006. Nustar told us today that afteracquired, it discovered operational infractions which had been established under the previous own shership. It said it improved procedures, improved training, and changed management. But the company didnt answer questions about how workers handled the fire tuesday.

Nustar says its workers didnt turn on the Fire Suppression system because the intense flames blocked those workers from reaching it.
