They were emotionally drained physically exhausted but they were very, very exhileratd and they were greeted with cheers for what each one said to a person was one of the greatest experiences of their lives.

American Airlines Says they sent 2200 out and back since last monday on 15 different flights. I actually think i cried. I didnt know what to say.

When the markets closed thedown ended down more than 1100 points. The slump began on friday actually as investors worried that creeping signs of higher inflation and Interest Rates could derail the u. S. Economy. Time right now for a check of our action news traffic report monday night. Matt pelman in the action News Traffic Center monday night. How is the weekend matt. It was a pretty good weekend i got to say. Noing is going to get us down on this marvelous monday rick and monica, except some of our speeds are down a little bit. Here at the platt bridge headed towards south philadelphia, away from the airport, we had a broken down vehicle right here in the left lane. So it is still heavy coming away from the airport and away from i95. Might want to stay on 95, the girard point double decker northbound head towards broad street instead. Southbound side 95 approaching broad theres a disabled vehicle as well but that is off to the side. This is not all off to the side. Crash on the blue route, 476, southbound side approaching macdade boulevard. Its taking out the right lane. So coming down from broomall youre looking at least single digit speeds like 4 Miles Per Hour. I would steer clear, head for 320 or 252, not the southbound side of 476 this afternoon. Coming away from 476 in the Lehigh Valley, speeds like 15 Miles Per Hour on 22 eastbound. Thats because of a crash approaching cedarcrest boulevard. Use tillman street or stay down on 78 eastbound instead of 22 eastbound and getting into new jersey still a problem at the walt whitman bridge because of emergency construction on 42 southbound approaching 295 and now in the backlog theres also a crash here on 676 southbound. It is stacked solid. If youre coming off the ben franklin bridge do not get on 676. Keep going on the admiral wilson boulevard. Well check it again, rick and monica, in the next half hour. Will do. Thank you. Thanks matt. Still to come on action news, the flu season isnt letting up. It is now impacting schools across the country including right near our area. Ali gorman with details. Championship eagles merchandise already out and folks waited in the cold just to get their hands on it and well show you. Cecily. It certainly was cold today. Temperatures generally hovering around freezing. However you factor in the winds weve got wind chills in the 20s and now im tracking a wintry mix on the way. Could complicate the wednesday morning commute. Ill have all the details on that in the accuweather forecast when action news returns. This is so exciting, dave hey gus, meet tucker. Awwww. Whoaaaa . And axle, angie, frank, charlie, millie, ralph, henry, audrey and duke. Yep. Ten times the fun. Sorta like this. Ahhh, ten times the bucks. Its one of the new times the bucks games from the pennsylvania lottery. With millions in prizes hot diggity dog keep on scratchin health check tonight. Influenza epidemic isnt letting up yet on eastern states. Its continuing to cause high absentee rates in schools. Its not always students who are sick. Ali gorman tells us more from the big board. The flu was even a big story at the super bowl. Some players had symptoms earlier in the week and pink was diagnosed days before. It is still going around and for schools in hard hit areas, many have had to cut activities or even close because many of the kids are sick. But its not always the kids. A school in north jersey called off classes because too many of their bus drivers have the flu. Classes were canceled for 1400 students in the branch burg district thats in Somerset County after more drivers called out sick than could be replaced. The district is taking opportunities to disinfect all of the buses and schools. The cleaning seems to be working for the schools. Theres been no flu outbreak among students. We have been keeping on top of disinfecting the buildings for weeks. Its not about the students its only about transportation. What do you do when you cough and sneeze. Cover our mouth. Theyre sneezing into their elbow or arm. Keep washing your hands often disinfect common surfaces and do still want to get a flu shot if you havent already. The number of flu cases in our area is that still climbing and the season could last until the spring so its still one of the best ways to protect yourself. Also today theres new evidence that shows for some people lymes disease could have long lasting effects sump as fatigue and depression. Those symptoms could last even when blood tests no longer detect the bacteria that causes this disease. This has been a controversial issue in the medical Community Whether the effects of the tick born illness can persist. Researchers are from johns hopkins, they say based on their study they believe there is such a thing as post treatment lyme disease syndrome. It can be diagnosed with a thorough examination of symptoms. Rick and thats something that well continue to watch. All right ali thank you. Officials say eight people remain hospitalized after they were hurt on that amtrak train that crashed into a parked train in south carolina. The conductor and engineer on the amtrak train were killed in the wreck early yesterday. Happened when one of the amtrak passenger trains was diverted onto a sidetrack and them slammed into a parked freight train. Officials say that positive train control a braking system could have prevented the crash if it had been in place. Philadelphia eagles as you know are super bowl champs and minutes after nick foles was named the m. V. P. Of the game he told the world hes going to disney world. Philly fans are everywhere.

Reporter modells says they plan on restocking as long as they keep buying the gear. Fans say they plan to keep this forever or until the next super bowl win.
