Can into their cars here but we also want to we can just pan a little bit more to the right really show you some of the flooding especially in front of the ross dress for less and even down by youll see the dollar plus in a little bit. You can see cars partially submerged right there. Looks like Mercury Sable the white car and the van also. Thats where the heaviest flooding is that we can see at least from the ground right here. You can see some of those emergency rafts right there from the Fire Department that have been used to get people out of the harms way because some of the folks especially the more Senior Citizens needed some help to get to some dry land. But we go further right you can see all of the fire units and everybody else out here. So theyre looking looks like theyre pulling back little bit row locating the philadelphia police, chopper also flying over all of this to see if they can give grounds crews who needs assistance here. But this we understand is something thats happened before. Residents and Business Owners say that at least three times in recent years this water main or water main like it has broken and so theyre pretty frustrated weve been hearing their chatter online. By the way these people looks like they could be Water Department personnel going to read the back of his green theres no text on it. Theyre going in here to try to get a look at this whole scene. Theyve got flashlight some other equipment as you can see there. But just a mess of a situation now its mostly mud and murkiness in front of the shop rite where we are. But again fire crews making sure getting everybody out of this shop rite. Thats the latest right here. Well send it right back to you. All right. Thank you so much, dave. Of course bob kelly has been monitoring the situation happening right at rush hour on friday night. Probably a real mess around that area, too. Bob . Good evening, everybody. First of all, i can tell that you the roosevelt boulevard is major jammo right now. Both directions as this is just off of the fox street exit of the rows vessel boulevard. So anyone had hing north or south were already jammed to begin with. Something i did fine out. This Shopping Center is only opened three years ago. So the piping, the infrastructure is only three years old. This is not one of those scenarios like we have in the northeast or old city when we get water mape break and we say wow you know the old city up from a structure here is crumbling. The pipes underneath are only three years old. I should say the Shopping Center opened up three years ago. So i would think that all of that piping, all of that work underground would be fairly new and you heard dave mention that it happened, you know, three times already. This is kind of bordering east falls, Allegheny West you got nicetown you got hunting park reason all that water was funneling up and over down that embankment, that was down on to a Freight Train set of tracks. Does not impact septa at all. Thats the Freight Train line that does eventually move cole and product over the Schuylkill River into 30th street. So obviously even though they got the water off, this is going to be a huge mess seeing all that water going somewhere and could have a domino effect on, you know, the other neighborhoods and before i toss it back to you, guys, i also just want to note that if you know anyone that uses the trenton Regional Rail line this afternoon, septa has suspended Service Inbound all because of some Police Activity at the holmesburg station. So, um, as were looking live from skyfox, you know, thoughts and prayers with everybody thats in that neighborhood and hopefully they dont have any serious water damage and that water can seep that goes into the Railroad Yard i wonder if thats going to impact the Railroad Tracks and the footings there. Bob kelly, one of the best in the business. Fox 29 Traffic Authority joining us live. Major water main break in east falls, of course, well bring you the latest as we get information to us. Now of course to our other big story. Top story tonight. Dramatic developments in the septa strike after a four days of trollies, buses and subways not running in the city of philadelphia. The Transit Authority is now taking legal action against the union that represents thousands of workers. Septa wants to get those workers to return to their jobs immediately. Our bruce gordon is talking to Business Owners who say theyre hurting after four days of the strike but we begin with brad sattin. Hes live outside city hall with the very latest on the negotiations. Brad . Reporter yeah, chris. Live outside city hall. That is because the court of common pleas theyre actually taking up this matter in a courtroom right now behind me. I just came out of this, and one of the interesting things out of this is that were learning that the judge is at some point going to continue this until monday. So if we were looking for a quick resolution over the weekend, it does not sound like thats going to happen. Of course if we continue it until monday, the election is on tuesday. To try to get these buses and trollies subway run that quick maybe turns out impossible. Septa wanting this injunction to try to force employees back to work. Take you to some pictures here. We can tell you septa as we mention the back in court putting up witnesses. They are septa employees detailing the hardship of passengers without this service trying to prove a clear and present danger to citizens. We heard from chief operatio ops officers a short time ago, a compliance manager who works with about 24,000 riders who are disabled. The union lawyer, though, is saying that this may be a Big Inconvenience but it is not a clear and present danger. There are takes theres uber, there are bikes they can add Regional Rail service. There are ways to get around. Meanwhile negotiations were now hearing will resume at 6 00 oclock night on this day four the fight continues over pensions, wages, health care and schedules. Septa in a News Conference a couple hours ago said this strike, though, is a danger to people. The strike has caused people to miss critical medical appointments. Is making it impossible for some disabled residents to get to facilities for Specialty Care and get assistance with fundamental live care matters. Its causing students to miss school, and preps a risk to citizens right to vote in the november 8th leck. Reporter now the Union President responded in an email saying that we will fight septas request for the injunction tooth and nail. We would prefer, however torque concentrate our attention on productive bargaining to reach a fair cement. At this point, only a handful of issues separate the parties again, the hearing continues inside but the judge saying a little while ago that this will be continued until monday. Obviously just a day before the election. Guys, back to you. Timing is everything here and were now a full week into this septa strike and getting a picture of how it is affecting everyone particularly local businesses. Theyre taking a hit. Its not pretty sight either. Lets get straight to bruce gordon live tonight at the sheraton in center city where those septa negotiations continue. Bruce . Reporter yeah, guys, for any business to succeed large or small you really need at least two things. You need customers and you need employees. Well the septa strike this week has made it awfully tough to get either one through the door. Nick bar and grill has taken beating this week. They closed on tuesday when employees couldnt get to work. Ever since owner joey has driven all over the city picking them up and taking them in. The septa strike has cut customer traffic by at least 2 20 . People now have to instead of going out to eat theyre shaving their money to find transportation back and forth to work. Reporter over at primeaus hoagies theyve closed early each day sin the strike began, 3 00 p. M. Instead of the usual 8 00. Thats because they want their workers to be able to get home at a decent hour. Not that theres as much to do once they are on the job. With the abbreviated hours and less people in the area, business is down a solid 30 . Which certainly hurts. Reporter 30 down for the whole week. Yup. Report chunk of change. It sure is. Reporter and mrs. Kays coffee shop they finally had a busy morning friday. After closing the day before thanks to workers stranded at home by the strike. We cannot get cook. We called all the cooks possible and they could not get a ride in. The cook that was supposed to come in i think he had transportation and then something came up at home with the kids and all and he couldnt get in. Reporter you had to literally shut down. We shut down. Reporter Kevin Stevens is that cook. The septa strike trapped him home at home twice this week because he couldnt get his daughter to school. Cost him a couple days pay. Im losing money. I can get to work. Reporter every business we visited had the same reaction to a work week full of lot of customers and shrunken profits get those buses back on the streets says joey. Everybody is paying the price. Just get it done. Reporter the result of that injunction battle will obviously be closely watched by Business Owners. They want mass transit back. Frankly they don care if it takes a judge to force the issue. Chris . Hundreds of other thousand people begin thinking the same, bruce, thanks. All right.
