flight from sfo is forced to make an emergency landing. what went wrong on the way to mexico? a water main break sends a geyser shooting into the sky near a san francisco park. now the neighbors who live steps away worry about the hillside. >> i might lose the street. >> it's a precarious area. >> reporter: she put west coast bagels on the map. meet the matriarch behind the wildly popular chain as she gets ready to expand her empire across the bay. >> i'm super stoked. i'm excited to change the bagel industry. this is cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich. >> good evening. we do begin with breaking news in oakland. our chopper is over 54th and international where there's been a massive collision between a car and an ac transit bus. this happened a little under an hour ago. we are told at least 14 people are hurt. two are critical. you can see the front of the bus is crushed in and there's the car
6:01 pm
destroyed. we just heard a second car may have been involved in this as well. no word yet how the crash happened. we have a crew on the way and on the ground. we will continue to follow this and update you. another story here, a couple of brazen burglaries back to back in alameda county. this is a look at the damage at an alameda gas station. you can see the outside there. a truck was used to ram its way in and actually steal the atm. it happened early this morning at the aisle one gas station market on blanding street. the night before burglars used a van to drag the safe out of an oakland jewelry repair store about four miles away on grand avenue. as da lin tells us, in both cases for all their efforts the thieves got away empty handed. >> reporter: i'm told investigators from the two police departments are sharing notes. while the two cases have similarities, it's unclear if they're connected.
6:02 pm
this is surveillance footage of the first burglary at grand jewelry repair near oakland's lake merritt, happened thursday morning around 3:45 a.m. two vehicles and five burglars, the store owner's son christopher tran saying they used this van and rope to drag open the metal gate. once inside they used the same rope to try to drag a large safe out. >> but it snapped. they took a heavy metal chain, put that over the safe. >> reporter: the safe was so heavy it took them a while to secure and tie it to the back of the van. >> the safe, they couldn't quite get it into the utility truck. so it was dragging. so you see a bunch of sparks. as they get on the freeway, pd was right behind them. so i think that's why they kind of dropped it because it's heavy. it was weighing down the car. >> reporter: the burglars took off and left behind the safe in the middle of the road. police recovered the safe which contained thousands of dollars in jewelry and watches. the
6:03 pm
jewelry repair shop also experienced significant damage when the burglars dragged the safe through the store. the owner, mr. tran, was in tears when he saw the damage on thursday. >> so this all 34 years, all my life in there. i raised my kids. now i don't know we're going to come back. >> now he's thinking about retirement. the only thing that sucks is it's kind of more like a forced retirement because he doesn't feel safe. >> reporter: it's the second costly burglary in three years at the store. the immigrant who escaped the war in vietnam says they can't seem to escape the crime in oakland. >> thank you, all the customers support us until now, 34 years. thank you very much. >> reporter: nearby in alameda authorities say friday morning around 4:30 burglars used a u-haul truck to back into aisle one's glass doors and then used a chain to drag the atm
6:04 pm
machine out of the gas station store. >> i feel kind of desensitized. i feel like this is kind of a normal occurrence in the bay area and it's sad to feel like that. >> reporter: alameda police say they were able to quickly recover the truck and the atm in oakland, but in both cases the burglars got away. the tran family says these burglaries are killing small businesses. >> my parents boot strapped up. we need leaders to boot strap up. we need more hands on the ground actually lead, do something. >> reporter: this kind of crime happens so often some bay area stores have removed atm machines from their locations. some stores no longer accept cash, only credit and debit cards, to avoid robberies. >> the latest weekly crime stats from oakland police show commercial burglaries fell 60% city-wide compared to last year. it's not clear what's behind this drop, but da says some business owners tell him break-ins have become so frequent people have simply stopped reporting them. if you did notice some smoke in the sky in eastern
6:05 pm
contra costa county today, this is where it was coming from. wow, look at this, a fire burning about 18 acres off marshland near antioch this afternoon. our chopper spotted some patches of intense flames, but no structures were threatened. we're also keeping an eye on a big protest in san francisco calling for a ceasefire in gaza. it started this afternoon at city hall before hundreds of demonstrators took their message to market street. they marched to octavius street near the 101 entrance where a wall of police kept them from going any further. also in san francisco tonight there are concerns about a hillside giving way after a massive water main break. in fact, it flooded the area around stern grove and pine lake park and opened up a huge hole in the ground which quickly filled up with mud. anne makovec is here in studio with more on the cause and concern about what's next. >> yeah. a huge mess left behind after this break this morning. it was a very powerful
6:06 pm
water main, a lot of pressure behind that. we haven't even gotten a firm number on how much water was released this morning. as you can see, certainly a lot shooting some 60 feet in the air. the water main broke around 9:30 a.m. crews were finally able to use a shutoff valve to stop the water about two hours later. the view from our chopper shows the massive amount of mud created. the water basically carved out a river that flowed down the hill next to pine lake park, leaving pools of mud along the way. that is the perspective from the ground. city officials say the cause of the break appears to be failure of an eight-inch valve connected to a 60-inch water transmission line. that transmission line feeds water from their treatment plant on the peninsula to the sunset reservoir. we heard from a neighbor today who heard it break. >> initially i walk out to my side yard and i heard a crack and then a boom, loud noise. i
6:07 pm
just don't know how much the soil will get eroded from the water washing down the hill. we may lose the street if they don't shut it down soon. >> now that it is shut off he's worried about what damage has been done when it comes to weakening the hill behind his house. this is not the first time a major water main break has caused problems in that area. in the summer of 2021 a water main ruptured flooding stern grove causing extensive damage to the hillside and the area around the festival stage, forcing cancellation of the final free concert of the season. those repairs cost around $20 million. no estimate yet on how much today's mess is going to take to clean up. we've talked a lot about aging infrastructure in san francisco and be this could be a product of that. >> could you imagine those neighbors hear that blow this morning and for hours and hours to see that and the mess afterwards, too, and the bill,
6:08 pm
whoever pays that one. stay tuned. san francisco's mayor is laying out big plans for downtown's recovery despite recent high profile closures. we're talking about macy's in union square. the mayor used her state of the city yesterday to unveil a plan to attract 30,000 residents and students to the downtown area by 2030. one strategy to bring people back, night markets like the big one kicking off in chinatown tonight. this is a live look at the crowds on grant avenue. mayor breed is expected to join them at some point. the night markets will return every second friday of the month until november. there's another bright spot for the city. berkeley's boy chick bagels founded by a uc grad has become internationally known for its authentic new york-style quality. it certainly is a success story driven by an owner's passion for bagels and engineering. on this
6:09 pm
international women's day our wilson walker caught up with emily winston, matriarch of the new bagel world. >> the dough is coming up. it's been formed into kind of this rectangular log. this will knead it out smaller and divide it into chunks. see that just gets wrapped up and the ends get stuck together and it comes out like a bagel. >> reporter: emily winston is watching the early moments in the creation of a bagel and this phase is decidedly hi-tech. >> and then we've got our robot arm that picks it up and puts it in the rack. that prevents a ton of repetitive stress injury and workers' comp issues. >> reporter: even the newest technology does not replace the most essential elements of this old art form. >> we're doing the old school new york bagel process here and i have not added any automation to this. this is exactly as it's been done the last 100 years. >> reporter: and it is that
6:10 pm
knack for blending tradition and modernity that has pushed berkeley's boy chick to the center of the bagel universe. >> especially adding that arm, we're probably running the most technically advanced bagel operation right now, which is fun. my background is mechanical engineering. so i love this. this is where i get to shine. >> reporter: take a quick tour and of it's easy to see how this passion for the modest bagel has translated into not just success, but international acclaim. >> my wildest fantasy was that "the new york times" maybe would one day say my bagels were okay and then they came and said we're even better than new york, which was just completely nuts, but yeah, it's awesome. i have a lot of people that are super psyched to see a woman building a business that's so successful and gaining ground so publicly. it's an honor to be a role model like that. i'm super
6:11 pm
stoked. i'm excited to change the bagel industry. >> casey, you love coming here? >> yes. >> we moved to sf in 2016 and you miss a good bagel if you've been an east coaster your whole life. >> reporter: boy chick has found a loyal following among those willing to steek out quality and that means more growth with three new locations in san francisco. >> yeah. i'm bullish on downtown. >> reporter: winston said the city's falling lease prices have created the perfect opportunity to position for the years lady in what she sees as the inevitable san francisco rebound, the next chapter for boy click's chick's incredible expansion from a single store to an institution in four years. >> i don't want to build 40 stores around the bay area. we're going to keep it to about maybe ten or 12. people want good bagels. they're
6:12 pm
desperate for good bagels. >> reporter: so there's another established regional business that is bullish on downtown san francisco, in this case, market and battery streets, where they're expecting more and more people to return in the year ahead, all three locations expected to be open by the end of june. >> fillmore street in lower pack heights, battery street in the financial district and on sacramento street in presidio heights will be the three locations. one day after a united airlines plane lost a tire on takeoff, what we're learning about the problem of a flight from sfo to mexico. a bay area boy scout honored, how he put his training to use to save his younger brother's life. >> i could have easily stood up and say hey, help, but what i did was look to my son. beautiful weather across the bay area today and a beautiful sunset. that sun goes down an hour later beginning sunday as we ge
6:13 pm
6:14 pm
6:15 pm
we have more breaking news tonight. a bad week for united just got worse. a plane headed from sfo to mexico city had a mechanical issue and made an emergency landing at l.a.x. united said it was a problem with the plane's hydraulics, but it hasn't elaborated yet. the airline did say the plane landed safely and none of the 110 passengers and crew were
6:16 pm
hurt. a different united flight, this one in houston, veered off the runway after landing leaving skid marks on the runway and the boeing 737 max 8 stuck in the mud with its nose pointed up in the air. of course, yesterday sfo the wheel of a united flight came off during takeoff, then smashing through a fence and damaging at least two cars, again, no injuries reported in any of these incidents, but all this happening just as the airline prepares for 21 million people to travel with them during spring break. check this out, a visible red hue on the water in lake merritt sparking some concerns obviously, but it's not believed to be a harmful algae bloom. you may recall in august 2022 an algae bloom known as red tide spread in lake merritt and the bay. it killed a lot of fish. the san francisco water board tells us they grabbed
6:17 pm
some samples yesterday and will continue to monitor it, but they don't believe it's posing any risk. they say the red color has dissipated and that algae in the water is normal, but if you do see any discoloration, you should report it. when we come back, the sun is setting on a beautiful friday, but we aren't done with the chance of showers. i'm just the messenger. paul will tell us which part
6:18 pm
bounced from one doctor to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that?

6:20 pm
here we go with our weather. i've got to tell you it was so fun to see the sun for an entire day today. >> and most of yesterday, too. >> and most of yesterday. boy, that was neat. >> that's over now. >> it's over, all right. >> not forever. >> i've been paying attention. >> it's not going to be a washout this weekend. saturday afternoon and sunday morning are looking okay for anything outdoors, horse riding or biking or anything like that. >> the mud out there. >> you got a mudder, you're ready. you'll lose an hour of sleep saturday night. >> spring forward. >> we spring forward, go back into real time. here's what that means. at 2:00 sunday morning it becomes 3:00 sunday morning. it's a good opportunity to check batteries on smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors. you'd rather do that on a regular basis than have the beeping wake you up in the middle of the night because it's never during daylight. sunday sunset is after 7:00. tomorrow's sunset right after 6:00 is the
6:21 pm
earliest sunset we will have in the bay area until halloween. we get that extra daylight to end the day. still light now even though the sun is officially down as we look at san jose. light showers tomorrow morning, best chances for the north bay. we should be dry tomorrow afternoon. be flexible with outdoor plans just in case. more rain moves in sunday more widespread, a little heavier. we'll see another round of rain monday night into tuesday and then a dry, warmer pattern settle in for several consecutive days beginning next week wednesday, thursday, friday. here's the shower activity moving into the north bay by 7:00. as we wind the clock forward from 7:00 a.m. saturday till noon, the showers kind of dissolve and fall apart, a couple sprinkles around lunchtime, some breaks in the cloud cover tomorrow afternoon. that's why i'm optimistic outdoor plans should be okay saturday afternoon and evening. the clouds fill back in saturday night and we'll see more showers moving in by about midday sunday into the north bay first. these have a
6:22 pm
much better chance of holding together as they move across the bay area sunday afternoon continuing into sunday evening and overnight. adding up both rounds of rainfall and we're talking about a 0.1-inch on the low end of the scale to maybe up to a half inch for some of the coastal ranges of sonoma county, the blue shading on the map, this is modest at best. we're talking about a few tenths of an inch of total rain. in the sierra this will be a series of snowmakers. the one that moves in sunday will produce a few inches of snow. the one monday night into tuesday will be more substantial, the potential for another foot or so of accumulation for some of the higher peaks above 7,000 feet. now we're waiting on that to happen. looks beautiful at the moment, low 60s in concord, livermore and san jose. otherwise mid- to upper 50s. we'll drop to the 40s tonight. the blanket of clouds rolling in will keep temperatures very close to normal for this time of year, but with the clouds and chance of showers tomorrow or temperatures end up below
6:23 pm
average. let's look at forecast highs tomorrow. mid-60s in san jose. that will be the warm spot. otherwise we're talking about low 60s inland in the east bay and around 60 degrees at best for the rest of the bay area, upper 50s in san francisco and along the coast and upper 50s for the north bay because you have the best chance of rain and the clouds will be thicker throughout more of the day keeping temperatures about 5 to 7 degrees below average. if you're looking ahead to a longer stretch of dry weather, we have that a little farther down the line. it does look dry inland in dublin top. we have an adoptable dog, rudy. you can pay him a visit and stare into those baby blues if you're in the market for an adoptable pup. inland in the east bay showers should fall apart. you should be able to get a little outside time to horse around with rudy or canine around, as the case may be. the drier than normal pattern settles in in the six to ten-day outlook and warmer than normal as well that settles in for st. patrick's
6:24 pm
day weekend. in the meantime we have a cool and still damp weather pattern through the first half of next week, first couple days. then wednesday we dry out. thursday and friday we also warm up, 70s for most of the bay area, some inland spots flirting with 80 degrees. >> thank you. rudy needs a good home. >> he does. coming up, a bay area 13-year-old boy just finished his boy scout trai
6:25 pm
i was like shaking you know, i was so scared. when i first reached out to jacoby and meyers. i didn't know if i had a case or not. as soon as i got a hold of my attorney, she was very, very nice, very kind. because of jacoby and meyers, i don't have that pressure to worry about a medical bill or things like that. if i know of any accident, i'm like, call jacoby and meyers, they'll help you.
6:26 pm
6:27 pm
this is a good one, a daly city teenager honored for using his scout training to save his little brother's life. the scout and his family were out to dinner when a celebration nearly became a tragedy. >> i held my arm on the table. >> reporter: 10-year-old finnigan delaney describes his moments of panic when he couldn't breathe and couldn't speak because a piece of chicken was stuck in his throat. >> trying every way possible to get it out. >> reporter: finnigan was out with his 13-year-old brother dashel, his mom and dad and extended family who were all together at thanksgiving time to celebrate life with their grandfather who was battling cancer. it was a fun light hearted night at a concord hot pot restaurant. that is, until finnigan started choking. >> i tried putting my hand in
6:28 pm
and tried taking the chicken out, but it just -- only a piece came out and it was very scary. >> reporter: the boy's mom katherine was seated a few places away. >> all of a sudden i saw finnigan struggling and i looked at my older son and i gave him the mom look like help. >> reporter: dashel had recently finished his boy scout's first aid training and as others were stunned into inaction, he took charge. >> i turned him like this, wrapped my arms around him with one fist in a ball and the other in this hand right underneath his diaphragm -- not diaphragm, solar plexus and pushed down and up. >> i felt very relieved and said to myself that was close. i'm alive. >> i could have easily stood up and say hey, help, but what i did was just looked at my son
6:29 pm
and he was able to jump to action. >> i wasn't really panicky. i just saw the situation in front of me and i performed. we practice it a lot in the first aid merit badge and i feel like that's very essential to be able to do that because a lot of people every year die from choking. >> reporter: dashel's actions caught the attention of the national boy scouts of america organization which just awarded him with one of their highest honors. >> it gives me great honor to present the medal of merit to dashel delaney of troop 333 golden gate district. >> reporter: the medal of merit is given to scouts who go above and beyond to exemplify the ideals and skills of scouting and often given to scouts who save a life. it will help him in his goal of being an eagle scout, like his father david. >> it's very good for scouting and it's such a big impact on america and my life and my
6:30 pm
brother's life and on the family and we're very grateful to still have finnigan. >> reporter: and speaking of family, it was the last time the boys would get to be with their grandfather who passed about a month later. >> this was such a momentous occasion because we were celebrating life and also saving lives. >> len tells us dashel is also a black belt in tae kwon do. cbs evening news with norah o'donnell is next and we're back here in 30 minutes with cbs news bay area at 7:00. thanks for joining us! >> we had to close the runway because somebody lost a tire. >> norah: tonight, frightening flights. >> ladies and gentlemen... >> norah: scary incidents on passenger planes this week as the spring break travel rush begins. we are looking at safety in the sky. >> it started trembling. you know, it just shifted to the left. >> there was a loud boom and
