right now, we are looking live over san francisco. that is a picturesque look. kind of a nice day, a nice way to start it too on a friday eve. thursday, april 25th, this is "today in the bay." good morning to you. thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. we have a developing story and a follow-up in bangladesh where some people are still trapped one day after an eight-story factory building collapses. right now, it is reported at least 199 people are confirmed dead and rescuers say they can still hear people underneath the rubble crying out. surviving factory workers say management down played their concerns after finding deep cracks in that building the day before the collapse. and in alabama, three oil workers have severe burns after several explosions on board two fuel barges in the mobile river.

the fire was just put out after firefighters let the barges burn overnight. close to the home, a south bay mother remains hospitalized recovering from some serious injuries after a speeding car slams right into her san jose home. take a look at the damage here. pretty bad. witnesses say two cars appear to be racing when they just lost control. one of the cars ended up right in the living room of that house. this all unfolded yesterday afternoon not far from leigh high school. "today in the bay's" bob redell, he spoke with her husband this morning. bob, the question is, how is she doing and what is the husband saying all about it? >> reporter: well, the husband didn't talk to us for too long. this is about an hour and a half ago. he was here early in the morning picking up some personal belongings. he is clearly upset. tells us his wife is in intensive care. when i asked if she thought he would make a recovery, he was

under the impression she would recover from her injuries. she was stuck inside her home on leigh avenue and ann way when a silver bmw went crashing into the home. you can see how large the impact was based on the amount of boarding that had to be completed. this happened just before 4:00 yesterday afternoon. she was severely hurt. there were three teens inside thatyeip r(t&háhp &hc the impact so great, the car went so far into the home that caused part of the structure to collapse so much so that the fire department had to shore up the home with beams to prevent it from caving in even further. neighbors were able to pull out her 9-year-old daughter stuck behind a wall and some cabinets. she had been inside the home okay at the time. remarkably, she is going to be okay. the three teens were taken to the hospital, we believe, with nonlife threatening injuries. there was also a red bmd that was involved. it wrecked nearby. it was also driven by a teen. one witness saw both beamers, silver and red, racing down lee avenue before this crash. >> they were side by side racing

from what it looked like. the silver one kind of lost control and got hit by the red one and then the red one sent the silver one into the house. >> police did take the teenage driver of the red bmw in for questioning. it is not clear if that driver will be arrested. they believe both cars were speeding and are looking into the fact of whether or not they were racing, as that witness mentioned. that would be a surprise to people around here. in about 45, 50 minutes, we will hear from one neighbor that tells us that fast cars on lee avenue is a recurring problem. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." 6:04. two bay area sisters will appear in are the could. both charged with child abuse and neglect. the pair ran a popular daycare where they endangered infants with babies and excessive

swaddling. "today in the bay's" christie smith joins us live in pleasanton with what the charges could mean for the sisters. good morning. >> good morning to you, laura. police say the concept of swaddling is specific to newborns. these aren't newborns that we are talking about. this he call this excessive swaddling. one officer described it as similar to a boa constrictor wrapping around the chest of an infant, basically trapping that infant's ability to breath naturally. now, the two sisters involved are n are nazila and lida sharaf. they closed their preschool. the sisters severely, police believe, severely swad dled at least 7 of the 19 infants in their care. an employee there quit over this alleged child abuse. police say the babies are

between 7 and 11 months old. the situation was made worse because three of the babies have upper respiratory infections. >> a child would need to be swad ld at the parent's care and only to comfort them as they fall asleep. not as a wrap them up and leave them there. >> this isn't the first time that they have run afoul. police say the state revoked their license at the daycare center in 2010 for swaddling also. they tell us that the younger sister reopened the facility under the parents' name at the same location. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." only on nbc, a san jose neighborhood being hit by mail thieves. it is not the only one dealing with an uptick in crime. marla tallez will tell you which neighborhood is keeping a close watch on their mailboxes and what experts say you can do to keep from becoming a target. that's coming up in a live report at 6:30. it is 6:06.

pruning the roses that are not alive anylonger. they suck the nutrients away from the roses that are flourishing here. you can come on out here and help us with this saturday as we are efforting a big volunteer cleanup here at the guadalupe park conservancy. i can tell you, it is going to be a good time. the weather is going to be a little bit warm. if you want to do something green, today might be your day as temperatures are going to be down right perfect. this morning, a little chilly. you might want to grab a coat as we are in the 40s and 50s later on today. we are going to see om of the best numbers that we have had all week long. we have to get through a little bit of fog. it will be at its thickest between now and 7:00 a.m. it is not going to last that long. between 7:00 and noon, a lot of clearing. a beautiful, sunny day. a little bit of fog clinging to the coastline. today's highs look great. a little chilly at the coast.

on the compass. out of hercules in towards richmond, the crash still reported. it sounds like it still has one lane block, quite a bit of slowing from highway 4 down to richmond. creating a little bit of a dam for the traffic and making things easier for the bridge and down towards the towel plaza itself. the tri valley for a traditional build. 680, it starts to build and joins up with the folks coming from either side out of niles and livermore and the slowing down towards sunol. pretty smooth into the south bay once you pass through that area and the bottle neck. northbound 101 shows the slowing. 280 and 87 starting to build into downtown. folks trying to get in line to get the bon jovi tickets. mass transit, no delays for the b.a.r.t. system. an alternate to the bay bridge. muni, no delays reported above

walsh recruited elway to play for stanford when he was back there coaching. the trade never happened. that was a blessing for the bay area. number 16, spectacular, went on to win three more super bowls for the 49ers. i love this part of it. upon hearing that news, montana tweeted out, can't wait to watch 30 for 30 when i get home tonight. heard i was almost traded for elway. >> what could have, would have been. we'll see. 6:23. coming up, a quick get away and a slow-moving truck. >> look at this. he goes into the right shoulder. he starts fishtailing again. >> a suspected burglar got behind the wheel of a u-haul to speed away from police.

officers perform what they call a pitt maneuver that forces the truck to stop. the high-speed driver in custody. i didn't know u-hauls could do 100 miles an hour. still ahead, mailboxes in san jose, why one issue is turning into a city-wide problem. how you can protect yourself. how much did the fbi know about the boston bombing suspect and when did they know it? new accusations and criticism about the investigation ahead. >> live looks outside. help you start your morning. this one from san francisco this morning. much more ahead, 6:27.

denying her son's involvement and extremely skeptical of u.s. authorities. politics is a dirty game she told reporters. his trip last year was for a family wedding and to renew his passport. republicans are calling for hearings into what the fbi new before the bombing. senators will hear from the fbi, homeland security and intelligence officials now accused of not sharing information, like before 9/11. >> here we are 12 years later and the fact remains it is still not working. >> reporter: in 2011, russia asked the fbi and cia to check up on tamerlan tsarnaev. he was in a database with half a million names. his travel to russia raised no flags even when he posted radical videos online, because

his case was closed. >> there are real limits to what can he can do. we get thousands of leads. >> reporter: the younger brother answered questions for 16 hours before getting a lawyer. they learned the bombs were detonated with remotes like the ones used to control toy cars, untested before they were set off. >> back live now, more from that interview. those comments from the parents in russia this morning. the mother saying that u.s. authorities told her that her younger son, dzhokhar, had not yet been questioned. >> thank you very much, tracy. a san jose neighborhood being targeted by mail thieves. the post office says it has received complaints about somebody taking the mail out of the boxes, adding the number of incidents is on the rise. marla tallez is live with more details on this investigation and how you can protect yourself. good morning. >> we are in a neighborhood very

close to san jose state close to south seventh street. not a bad place to be. tree-lined. a nice neighborhood. south seventh at virginia street. we talked to two people on south seventh alone who say they have had their mail stolen recently. one woman says she had her bills swiped from the front porch. she did something the postal service frowns upon, leaving her mail out overnight for pickup in the morning. she says she doesn't have a typical mailbox setup. she has done this before and never had any problems. this is the first time she has had her outgoing mail stolen. the postal service confirms they are getting other reports of mail theft in this area. for more on the dos and don'ts on how to protect yourself, we have postal inspector, jeff fitch, joining us. thank you so much for your time. why don't you tell us how to protect ourselves. we are going to put those tips up on the screen so viewers at home can see. >> again, don't leave the mail out overnight. put it in one of our blue

collection boxes before the last collection. walk it into the post office. drop it off at your work. the other thing to do is any of your valuable materials, once you have received mail, insurance information, have a home shredder. run everything in the shredder before you put it into the trash. >> you also mentioned checking your bank statements and your credit reports. >> at least once a year. check your credit reports and make sure there is no activity you didn't do. >> another good idea, to consider joining the neighborhood watch system. >> absolutely. >> it is so important to report any thefts. report it to the local police even if it is an informational report. report it to postal inspectors. >> you can do that online. the website to go to is postal inspectors.uspis.gov. mail theft is a federal felony. good nfrinformation. thanks so much. we have been talking about how it is earth week across the country. here at nbc bay area, not just

also look at this. the map we are showing is one of the major reasons why it is starting to build. traffic was held up. it took a while to clear. it is still backed up out of sunol and down towards san pablo clearing through richmond. this burst of traffic heading through berkeley and over toward the bay bridge toll plaza. be careful as you head through the area. big increase in volume headed there. san mateo and dumbarton. here is 92 itself over that san mateo bridge. a little haze. not a big problem. that sign on the right, i'll let you know what it says. talking about using a hand-held phone. not worth it. the fine is over $150. wait until you get to the other side. we are looking towards san jose with a smooth flow of traffic. northbound 110 with the only real slowing. starting to build throughout. a later build to the commute and then it really hits hard.

"today in the bay's" christie smith is live in pleasanton with more on what got them both in trouble. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they are sisters that we are talking about. the charges against them are quite disturbing. they will be in court this afternoon. police call it excessive swaddling. one officer says it is basically like a boa constrictor sort of wrapping around a baby's chest, severely restricting their ability to breath and in some cases, they are saying that nazila and lida shar after aaf accused of putting blankets over these babies faces. the preschool center is in livermore. the babies were between 7 and 11 months old tleech. three of the children suffer from respiratory problems.

police say a child at six months old in a parent's care for comfort, that's what it is used for, not to leave them there indefinitely. we spoke with a woman that runs the daycare nearby and knows a parent at the preschool that is now closed down. >> her biggest concern was, is my child just laying here screaming all day long because they don't want to give the baby the attention, so they swaddle hoping that that will, i don't know, make them go to sleep? >> now, again, police are saying that the concept of swaddling is specific to newborns. police say that trouble with the law isn't new here. the state actually revoked the daycare license once before in 2010. they are telling us the younger sister reopened the facility at the same location under her parents' names. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." 6:54. a court hearing is expected for a former morgan hill daycare worker accused of putting sleeping pills into sippy cups.

"today in the bay's" bob redell just spoke with the woman's husband. how is she doing and what is he saying about it all? >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. we spoke with the husband a couple of hours ago. he was, of course, still upset about what happened yesterday. clearly understandable. picking up some personal belongings from what's left of his home on leigh avenue and ann way. tells us his wife is still in intensive care. he thinks she will pull through and recover. in other words, it does not appear her injuries are life threatening. she was severely hurt yesterday afternoon when a silver bmw, just before 4:00, silver bmw with three teens inside crashed into their home. the impact was so great and the car went so far into the house that it caught part of the structure to collapse inside, so much so that the fire department

had to shore it up. neighbors were able to pull out her 9-year-old daughter who was stuck behind a wall and some cabinets. remarkably, she is okay. the three teens are taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening injuries, we understand. there was a red bmw that wrecked nearby. that was also driven by a teen. one witness tells us that both bmws were racing down lee avenue before the crash. we saw them both bang into each other. the red bmw wrecked near the side of the road sending the silver bmw inside the house. this is not the first time teenage drivers have sped down this road according to one neighbor. >> at 2:30 almost every day, i live here. we are terrorized by these kids with these $50,000 cars running up and down this street. >> reporter: police did take the teenage driver of the red bmw in for questioning. not clear if that driver will be

arrested. sjpd believes both cars were speeding and are looking into whether or not they were, in fact, racing. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> let's hope she is okay. it is 6:58. new research that says if you are super rich, you are getting richer. >> you are everybody else, you are getting poorer. scott mcgrew wondering where is that line between rich and super rich? >> apparently, it is $800,000. if you make $800,000 a year, that's super rich. americans making more than that saw their incomes grow. anyone below 800,000 is pretty much everybody, right? wall street, not much happening with the dow this morning. we are seeing two local companies just getting pummeled. safeway is down 15%. i can't figure out why. it looks decent. zynga, down about 8%.

reporting an unexpected profit for the previous quarter. that was due to cost cutting. zynga ceo says the number of people playing these games fell by 13%. the stock did jump yesterday after a fake press release said a chinese company would buy the company. many journalists have worried about news off the internet, twitter is going to have affect our jobs. to be honest, with these fake tweets and fake press releases, if you are getting rational, carefully thought-out news, this is a plug, that keeps our jobs fairly safe. >> it has been interesting, though, the fake ones that have come out with the white house and whatnot. thank you very much. 6:59. that is what's happening "today in the bay." we'll be back with a local news update in about half an hour. >> looks like a pretty good-looking day and a good-looking weekend. it is friday eve. go out and enjoy it. we'll see you tomorrow. have a great one!
