flight simulator. >> reporter: andy wood is a vp insomn iac. saddle up on this thing. >> you're a bird. >> reporter: moments later you're soaring through sky scrapeers in manhattan. >> virtual reality, a fan for wind in your hair, 360 audio, we refer to this as beyond vr. >> reporter: this isn't just virtual reality it is fusion with robotics you can see, it's pretty heavy duty robotics. the weight limit 450 pounds. that's a big bird. with a big ape as well. king kong makes a surprise appearance and he doesn't seem too happy about it. >> you can fly next to him and he'll swat you down. >> reporter: with me at the controls he didn't have to try. >> i kind of ran into his -- >> reporter: just a complicated. the cost of one of these? >> around $175,000. >> reporter: which is why they

aren't looking to put them in living rooms. they're designed for science museums and other public attractions. this year this is just a trial run to show off the device, but woods says they'll soon be popping up in southern california and other parts of the country providing fliers with a bird's eye view of the latest technology and other things as well. >> the sky is the limit with this. >> reporter: in rampart hayes, rob, abc7 news. >> it is a sight you don't see every day. folks in san bernardino county probably did a double take when they spotted this flying horse. it was being air lifted to safety after it and its rider fell 300 feet off the santa ana trail into a ravine in the angeles oaks. the 1200 pound horse was okay but had to be sedated and blind folded before being hoisted out. >> wow. time now for #askfinney, 7 on your side's michael finney. send questions via facebook,

twitter and e-mail. arun asks, i have an online bank account. i get charged a $3 fee every time i check it. is this legal? >> three bucks, that's amazing. is it legal? it would depend on your bank's policy. every bank has their own set of rules and they are allowed to generally by law. the consumer financial protection bureau says banks are able to charge their customers for services and the term services is really loose. some examples include printing of paper statement at an atm machine. that's a service, unbelievable. and ordering a new checkbook, ask your bank to waive the fees they charged you, i'd say get another bank. 3 bucks, just checking? >> that's not good. paul from san francisco asked on facebook, my mom and dad have stored batteries in the refrigerator since i can remember. they claim it makes them last longer. is this true? >> not any more. it's not for most modern batteries, pardon me, made of

alkaline and lithium. generally they don't like cold at all. your mom and dad were into something with the old batteries that were carbon zink batteries. they do suggest to store batteries in a cool dry place, ideally in the original packaging. this better protection from heat moisture and short-circuiting. good idea back in the day, not any more. >> from san jose asks, we put a freeze on our credit cards when my husband's identity was stolen. how long should we wait before removing? >> let me start with you were smart to put a freeze. a lot of people don't do it. when you put it on the account, it restricts access to your credit report. nobody gives you credit. even if some rip off is running around trying to use your i.d. it's not going to work. it makes it difficult for identity thieves. there is no agreed upon time to keep the freeze in effect, but let me tell you my take on this. if you are planning on buying a car, a house or applying for new credit, there is really no reason to take the freeze off.

now, if you're looking for new credit, you can temporarily take it off and put it back on. let me give you a couple tips here on that. in california it costs ten bucks to place a freeze with each of the three credit bureaus. there is a great loop hole here. if you have fierld an i.d. i.d.. or 65 years or older, it's free. when they tell you you got your i.d. ripped off, keep in touch with that. >> how -- >> place your video on social media and i'll answer it right here. >> thank you, michael. >> funny man will ferrell delivered this year's commencement speech at his alma mater. buckle up. it was his first time addressing an actual university, but not his first speech. >> the institutions to which i have spoken at previously include bryman school of

nursing. devry technical school, school of trucking, university of phoenix -- [ laughter ] >> hollywood d.j. academy, and trump university. [ laughter ] >> a big laugh there. he graduated from usc with a degree in sports information, alma. maybe he wanted to be a sports caster before becoming really famous and forgetting about sports. the first bay area university commencement is u.c. berkeley tomorrow and stand up comic will deliver cal keynote address. interesting. >> all right. packing up and moving on. >> it is time to move. i don't have a strong connection to my students as i used to have. >> the housing crisis in san francisco is creating a new crisis for teachers. >> right now kristen here with a look at what is coming up on abc7 news at 5:00. >> larry and alma,

time is spent commuting and less at school. >> i don't have as strong a connection to my students as i used to have. >> reporter: even though over the past three years, teacher salaries have gone up by nearly 15%, the cost of housing in san francisco has escalated to a point that is not affordable for many. the mayor announced the city was now committing $44 million to build between 130 and 150 units for teachers. >> we simply decided it's time for action. i think the teachers really need to see a city that says by action that we do care about their future. >> reporter: the project would be where the old francis scott key school was located on 43rd avenue in the sunset district. the site is owned by the san francisco unified school district. it's been empty for years, used for district offices and a warehouse. but city officials agree it certainly won't be enough. so, on tuesday the board of supervisors will take a look at a proposal that would increase the amount needed to qualify for

affordable housing. it could go up to $150,000. >> you're talking about potentially thousands of units over the next three years that teachers and their families and first responders, fire fighters, nurses can now get into the lottery and become qualified for affordable housing in san francisco. >> this could help reduce the teacher turnover rate the district is already experiencing. in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> the average teacher in san francisco makes nearly $69,000 a year. a recent study found a family of four with an income of less than $100,000 is considered low income in san francisco. >> so obviously a desperate need for more affordable housing. you can get the latest news any time with the abc7 news app. you can download that for free and be sure to enable the push alerts to be the first to know about breaking news where you live. >> and that is going to do it for this edition of abc7 news at 4:00. thank you so much for joinings
