impacted the takeoff. he also says the plane likely had a full tank of gas, which led to how big the fire got. >> we could see the one hangar. i believe it's only one that was really burning. >> the national transportation safety board confirmed the pilot died in the crash. in an email to abc seven news, it says an ntsb investigator will arrive sunday morning and will be focused on three primary areas the pilot, the aircraft and the operating environment. that includes examining aircraft maintenance records, the weather forecast, the pilot's license and a 72 hour background check of the pilot to determine if there were any issues that could have affected the pilots ability to safely operate the plane. a preliminary report is expected within 30 days at nice airfield airport. anser hassan abc seven news. >> in the east bay, a victim was found dead on the street in oakland's chinatown. and this morning, police are investigating. authorities are looking for several people suspected of physically beating

swimmers. >> and so right now this beach is closed and there's a swimming hole right on the other side of those trees that a lot of people utilize. >> the reeves family are feeling deflated along with their paddle boards. they didn't know vacation beach was closed. they come here every year. >> the plan was to paddle down the river and then go to the beach and barbecue for labor day weekend, and, but maybe it's going to be a little different now. >> this dam is used in summertime to slow river flows upstream for rafters and swimmers. check it out. you can see how low the russian river has dropped since the dam breach. normally the water is to the top of those yellow boards and out of caution. >> park and rec district pulled some of the boards out to release the pressure on the dam, which then in turn lowered some of the river levels so some neighbors are worried. >> they say this road and bridge typically stay open through prime fire season. there's only one way in the community when this bridge isn't in, so they do try to keep it up until fire

season, until, you know, at least the end of october, just in case. >> so we don't get stuck. >> the county says the dam will be dismantled soon. the road will likely stay closed until next spring. in guerneville. cornell, bernard. abc seven news. >> and vallejo residents in the south part of the city are dealing with an awful smell of sewage. it's being caused by repair work underway at the vallejo wastewater treatment plant. abc seven news reporter ryan curry shows us what's being done to mitigate this stench, and how long it will last. >> you can't see it, but you can definitely smell it on this hot late summer day. vallejo residents are struggling to stay outside. >> it's in different areas of vallejo. if you go down sonoma, there's a big, huge. we don't have a sewage plant down the road. smells like that. >> the odor is wastewater. go anywhere in the south side of vallejo and it will smell like sewage and chemicals. >> if it's like a hot day today and the air isn't moving and you're around there, it's pretty

pronounced. it's pretty pungent. >> it's coming from here. the vallejo wastewater treatment plant. the reason why it smells so bad is because this giant tank called a bio tower, is shut down. it's going through some much needed repairs. >> there's millions upon millions of square feet of media, plastic media in there on that media. there's a massive zulu mass that actually grows. that media has not been replaced since it was actually brought on line in 1988. >> media is a term for when plastic and rocks build up in the filter. orlando cortez is the superintendent of the project at the plant. he walked us around the facility to show us their refurbishing plans, but while they retrofit one tank, it means they only have just one working to filter all of vallejo's wastewater. >> the strength of the wastewater doesn't go down whatsoever. however, our treatment did. so we reduce our treatment by 50% and thus, you know, it is what it is. >> the flood district installed these misters around the edges of the tank. they have a cherry aroma coming out of it. it's anything they could do to try to

make the air smell just a little bit nicer. the project started back in march, and the wastewater district told vallejo residents it was going to smell. but what they didn't anticipate was how strong it would smell and how far it would travel. >> we undershot the actual radius of notifying our ratepayers. i believe we went out a half a mile. now, in hindsight, we would have went out a little further, maybe two miles, just to make sure that we covered everyone in that area. >> mix that in with it being a hot summer and it means vallejo is one stinky city. but cortez says this project is necessary for the plant to stay running long term. he says it is supposed to be done. the 1st of november, but that also means two more months of dealing with a bad stench. in vallejo. ryan curry abc seven news. >> this weekend, there are tributes across the bay area and around the world marking international overdose awareness day. hope. a peninsula nonprofit held a memorial walk and educational resource fair at the pacifica moose lodge yesterday. the event is designed to prevent

patchy and predominantly we're seeing those sunny conditions. it's all because of this little rotation offshore. it's an area of low pressure that will work to bring temperatures down today. increase the winds and that as it travels to the north and east of us, we are going to get on the backside of it. high pressure builds in relative humidity drops and the temperatures soar with an offshore flow already. a fire weather watch for extreme northeastern california and western nevada. and so we're looking at relative humidity below 9% at times for those areas today. throughout the next six hours or so, for us, really, the fog has not materialized to much a little bit, probably while you were sleeping and it has cleared out. this is the view from sutro where we have just a few patches left over, but the winds are already kicking in. you may feel them throughout the morning hours and certainly throughout the afternoon. 59 downtown at 65 in oakland and hayward, with 60 in redwood city. so the sea breeze and maybe some airport landing

issues with some what we call low level wind shear, as those winds continue to gust at the airport, san carlos airport just had a wind gust above 35 miles an hour near 4055 santa rosa 60. in napa, sunny san jose with 65 by the delta winds up to 22 miles, all morning long right here and sunny skies. low 60s inland. it is also in the low 60s. santa cruz. afternoon temperatures in the mid 70s. so nice but windy at our beaches. so sunny and gusty today. tomorrow sunny and warmer. just by about 2 to 4 degrees at best. and then by tuesday, wednesday and thursday we could see a red flag warning, but we probably will see a fire weather watch in parts of the sierra nevada and also heat related risks because of all the heat that's headed our way. so the current wind gusts 20 to 40 miles an hour from the airport, both airports, sfo, san carlos, and then you can see out towards the delta there. so as they continue to

increase the winds, it will be breezy to windy out there. you notice those oranges coming into play throughout the afternoon in terms of the low clouds pretty much out of here. and then they'll try to reform again tonight. but for labor day not much. and we'll see another sunny afternoon. winds not quite as gusty. this is what we're talking about for tuesday. look at the 70s and 80s from half moon bay to point reyes stinson, probably in the upper 80s 90s for you in richmond. oakland. this is the hottest day for many cities. 102 fairfield, concord 100in calistoga. look what happens on wednesday. very little change and immediate sea breeze, potentially at the coast. not much though, and then a little bit more so into thursday. well, we will all cool off. not until friday. 83 livermore breezy. 75, in richmond with low 70s san mateo. the accuweather seven day forecast a little warmer for the holiday and then brace yourself for more heat. tuesday, wednesday, thursday.

bottles, soap bottles, shopping bags, and more. according to advisor john hartwig, sandwich bags but also large objects and construction materials, as well as the milk jug, the yogurt containers. here's how it works. chemists combined waste plastics with two catalysts sodium and tungsten, then seal it inside a high pressure reactor. add ethylene and heat it up and stir for about an hour and a half. open up the reactor and this is the result. no more plastic, just raw materials that can now be recycled. >> i began to start to lose hope, but one day he came to me and actually said, i have the best results i think i have ever going to show you. and at the end of the meeting i said, yes, that's true. >> on thursday, this research was formally published in the journal science. >> it is one of the, you know, most prestigious, highest impact publication forums that we have. >> and in science's big picture, they hope this process eventually will lead to less plastic in landfills. >> i think the goal is to

provide an economic incentive to collect plastic waste, or at least a disincentive to throw it out into the environment. if you can make it cheaper to recycle plastic, then less ends up out in the environment. >> a feat conquered after years of trial and error with a little catalyst of luck in berkeley, lena howland, abc seven news. >> an innovative approach happening right in our own backyard. pretty neat. well, still to come. this morning there is growing concern over the west nile virus following reports of at least four deadly cases, how communities across the country are trying to keep people safe. and later, it's a small, unassuming beach in the north bay. but it's also a treasure trove of broken history. we'll explain is awesome. >> families are excited about the all new ringling. >> this will definitely be a new family tradition for us. >> they're loving every moment.

all of the chipped or damaged dishware along the shoreline, leaving a site to see for all visitors. >> we're on a piece of land, point isabel, which was originally a wharf, and over the years it has just changed so much that there's no way it looks anything like it used to look. i think they dumped here almost every day. someone in passing said, oh, have you ever been to tepco beach? and they said, no. so we came here we're at tepco beach, which is right near point isabel regional shoreline, and i'm dave weinstein, president of the el cerrito historical society, tepco beach, as we call it now has shards of beautiful old porcelain and pottery that were made by the technical porcelain

and chinaware company turned out thousands of pieces of plates, cups, saucers, all kinds of dinnerware. it was dinnerware, actually, which is very thick. they operated at their peak, producing about 30,000 plates a day. hotels, places in reno, san francisco, many of the local places they all got special tepco, where santa fe land wanted to build a giant industrial place out here. so they encouraged all kinds of people to come and dump whatever they could to make land. look, for example, these giant pieces of former sidewalk. so for many

years, tepco would come out here and they wouldn't just drive to the end and dump it here on the beach. if you walk through out point, this part of point isabel, you find a lot of this stuff buried in the dirt. i don't know what the pattern name is for this, but. there's going to be breakage. there's going to be misfirings of some kind. bad glazings. those things aren't marketable and they just get tossed. people who grew up in the 40s and 50s and 60s have told me about playing right next to tepco, because they would dump a lot of the shards before i bring them here, apparently right out in a big dump, and children would go out and play in, in, in the tepco piles. and around this place you would have seen tepco was an important part of the city, one of the few businesses in town i used to joke, i still joke, it was one of the few businesses where you could go to and not get a drink.

and they became collectible. in fact, my late wife sandy and i started a tepco collectors club about 20 or 30 years ago, and it seemed to us, as we were collecting, that the prices kept going up and it became more and more known and more collectible. and i've noticed over the last 20 or 30 years how the available shards are fewer and farther between, even though it looks like there's nothing but shards here, you could walk all across here and never touch a grain of sand. people over the years have come and taken a lot of it, but they should not. these are archeological fragments that should remain here. >> for a sharp display of art. interesting to hear the history of that lease. we got to get our sturdy shoes, though, if we go visit. yeah, totally. >> for sure. that does seem

interesting. good morning everybody. nice and sunny out there. santa cruz about 60 degrees with light winds right now. some breezy winds around the bay turning gusty in spots. and a cool day today compared to the next seven. wait till you see the triple digit heat returning for several days. my forecast is next. >> lisa thank you. also next, the aggies down in bear territory for the first full weekend of college football. sports is next. shine bright like a diamond. >> find light in the beautiful sea. i choose to be happy. you and i. you and i. we're like diamonds in the sky. shine bright like a diamond. shine bright like a diamond. shine bright like a diamond. beautiful like diamonds in the sky. shine bright like a diamond. >> let's get started. bill,

>> hurry in to the acura summer of performance event going on now live. >> sunday, september 15th. the emmys come to abc with awards for best drama, comedy, and so much more. >> i'm a winner. showtime. let's begin, shall we? >> the emmys live sunday, september 15th on abc. >> we're following breaking news about forty-niners wide receiver ricky pearsall. according to a post from his mother on facebook, the gunman's bullet went through the right side of his chest and out his back without striking any vital organs. as we know right now, pearsall is recovering in the hospital right now in stable condition. police say he was shot during that attempted armed robbery in san francisco's union square yesterday afternoon. and we're told pearsall fought back against the suspect, leading to

both getting shot. we do know that suspect is believed to be from tracy. keep it here for any further breaking updates. well, today both the a's and giants look to win their weekend series here in the bay area and on the road. oakland faces texas on the road at globe life field. first pitch is at 1135. then san francisco takes on miami. that game starts at 105. abc seven news reporter j.r. stone has your morning sports. >> good morning to you. the first full weekend of college football. the last bay area team to hit the gridiron. the cal bears hoping to build off last year when they made a bowl game for the first time since 2019. it's year eight for head coach justin wilcox out of the tunnel at memorial stadium, and there they go. cal actually trailed with under four minutes to go before halftime, but noah williams, he took this kickoff not 5060 but 80 yards to the house. he was barely touched and the bears led by one at the break. he also had an

interception. oh man. yeah, he's fired up. he loved it. second half we go. bears played much better. jaden ott from six yards out for the second of his two tds on the day. it's 2113 bears. the defense played great with three picks on the day. cade oliver yeah yeah there he is. there's aluva had one of them and that helped set up the bears final score of the afternoon. yeah they're fired up when fernando mendoza steps up connects on a low throw to hunter. bears pull away for the 3113 win. coach wilcox credits them for staying focused when things started slowly. >> it's the difference between bad football and good football is about that much, and i think we just played a lot more detailed, played with better technique and executed a higher level in the second half and first half. they wanted to play. it wasn't. the guys weren't flat. we just didn't play well. >> every single time we got the first first down, we scored. and so that was the biggest thing. when we all put our efforts

together all hyped each other up. energy, hey, we gotta get this first, first down instead of thinking big picture, we think small picture first. it was that enabled us to go and score a lot of points. >> the giants hosting the marlins. will clark son trey throwing out the first pitch to former giants pitcher dave dravecky. no score in the second. griffin conine, son of jeff conine, hits his first career homer off the pole and into the water. but yeah, you hate seeing it with the marlins. giants trying to mount a late inning comeback. michael conforto, a line drive shot into the bullpen that makes it a one run game, but lamonte wade, he would strike out to end it. giants lose 4 to 3 to drop back a game below 500, and their playoff hopes are all but done at this point. the a's in texas facing bruce bochy. the butler did it again. lawrence butler that is gone. he's on some kind of heater right now. another home run. this was a rocket 113 miles an hour off the bat. that makes six homers in his last five games. a's would tie this up at two. but in the bottom of

the ninth with bases loaded, taveras soft ground ball. i'm breathing heavy because that gets through for a base hit. his first ever walk off. hit as the a's lose 3 to 2. and finally the washington nationals called up dusty baker's son darren to make his major league debut on sunday. you know him best as this three year old bat boy that j.t. snow saved during the 2002 world series against the angels. but man, oh man, he has grown up, played baseball for cal and was drafted by the nationals in 2021 and will make his debut against the cubs. both teams, at one point managed by his dad dusty and that is sports. >> all right. thanks j.r. the giants face the marlins one last time here at home. first pitch lease is at 105. and we need at least a second wind. >> right. >> we missed out last night. >> yeah. that would be nice. the weather's going to cooperate in terms of nice and bright, but it will be breezy to gusty with upper 60s at 1245. and then the

winds over 18, probably over 20 miles an hour. we're already seeing a lot of wind and that's due to an area of low pressure. you can just make it out right here and it is going to continue to push to the north of the bay area. but it's going to make certainly some impacts today in the next several days with the breezy winds and it's already allowing for a fire weather watch as it gets closer to northeastern california and also western nevada, where it will allow for those dry north winds plummeting relative humidity down to about 9%. and then when it moves further away, it's our turn. we're going to get a high pressure building in quickly and the low relative humidity, high fire danger, potentially some advisories for that with the national weather service for three days next week. exploratorium camera so gorgeous out there, right? 59 downtown, 65 in oakland, a lot of sun out there, but you're going to want to shield yourself from the sand

in parts of the bay. maybe a right around the great highway where you could get sandblasted, for sure. as we look at our our east bay hills camera atop vollmer peak cleared out nicely. 58, santa rosa, 60, in napa with 65 by the delta. and those southwest winds have been breezy all morning long. and finally nice sunny view from sutro. sunny and gusty. your forecast today for labor day monday it will be warmer, maybe 2 to 4 degrees warmer, a little bit less wind out there. and then tuesday, wednesday, thursday triple digit heat inland. we're talking 80s and 90s around the bay. and san francisco is going to be hot. the coast will be in the 70s, even some 80s with north winds. there's a look at those windy conditions from the airport all the way down to san mateo, the san carlos airport, the delta there. so it's just getting going. and this is a look at the wind gusts. we've got the yellows light orange and then those darker shades that come in around three 4:00 with those breezy to gusty winds out

there. so for livermore, the look ahead into labor day monday, it's comfortable in the low 80s with patchy fog. but then look what happens as we get towards tuesday wednesday, thursday even friday's kind of hot, but the rest of the bay will cool off by friday and not that much. it's not going to be a dramatic cool down 78 in santa clara today, so these widespread seconds indicates that cooler air from the peninsula san mateo low 70s 78 redwood city sunny skies but breezy to windy 70 downtown. that's about average up in the north bay. we've got 80 in novato with 84. calistoga on the east bay. lots of low to mid 70s. so pleasant but breezy. day for you. 83 in concord, brentwood is at 87. the accuweather seven day forecast. sunny for labor day. a few degrees warmer, a bit less wind out there. tuesday, wednesday. thursday. excessive heat friday we start to ease that heat up and more so into next weekend. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you for
