That person could lose their job. Reporter that hasnt been determined. Another video is of a new jersey bus driver transporting a student in a school van. In the video, which is again taken by a student, the driver is using a phone while driving. I think its unreal. That shouldnt happen. Reporter back in bethlehem, they are not shocked students are behind the capture of the activity. They are basically doing what they tell us not to do. Thats not cool. Not the way it works. Reporter here in Bethlehem School officials tell me the female bus driver has been put on leave while Police Conduct an investigation. We reached out to the Bethlehem Police department, they tell us they cant comment on the investigation tonight. Reporting live, deanna durante, nbc 10 news. Right now at 5 00, things are back to normal at a Lehigh County high school. No one was allowed in or out of the high school after workers found contraband on the property. The school isnt saying what they found, but they did say everyone was safe and no one was charged. Right now Pennsylvania State police are using shotguns to deflate that top secret run away military blimp. This Investigation Continues tonight into how the blimp detached from its tether at a Maryland Army facility around noon yesterday. About three hours later the blimp crashed in the woods in pennsylvania, about 170 miles northwest of philadelphia. Nbc 10 National Correspondent ray hemaellis joins us live from the crash site. The big question is how could this billion dollar blimp break free. What new information do we have about the investigation tonight . Reporter not a whole lot. That is the very question that authorities are trying to answer. That is how did this blimp break free from where it was tethered in aberdeen, maryland. They say it was secure, some people may say it wasnt thick enough, but they say it was a very solid line. As you know, that tether of line caused a lot of damage as the blimp drifted across pennsylvania, knocking down power lines and were grateful and they are thankful no persons were injured in that and there wasnt a substantial property damage, but the mystery continues as to what happened. They dont know exactly what did cause this blimp to break away from its anchored position. Rehema, state police are using shotguns today to bring this thing under control. Were hearing, too, it could take weeks to remove it. Reporter well, i think they hope it will be a lot less time than that and they were firing about 100 shotgun blasts at the blimp because where im standing right now, its cold and very windy up here. There was concern at one point the balloon could lift off again and cause even more of a concern, so they wanted to take care of that, firing those shotguns blasts into it. Its being deflated. Theres a hope they might be able to get it out of here in the coming days. They had a helicopter that did surveillance of the area. That might be one way they are considering to lift it out. Its down a steep ravine. One of the folks who lives in the area who say they are a hunter tried to pull deer from the area, a deer may be weighing 190 pound and say its really tough. This large portion of the balloon thats down there, it weighs about 10,000 pounds, so pulling it out could be a difficult task. The way out may be to air lift it with a helicopter, but they are still trying to figure out how to do it and how soon they would be able to do it. Youre right, it could take days. Tricky removal process at best. Great to have you with us, thank you so much, live from the crash site of the run away blimp, we appreciate your time. Lets go now to our first alert weather.
