>> we do have serious news to get to. report of a car fire coming through 80 right at barrett avenue on the off ramp and i'm still getting information about this. apparently, some folks had too good of a weekend overnight. on 880 we have three separate accidents, this is really a trouble spot this morning. one at auto mall and the second right at a street coming through hayward and this is really a trouble spot. three separate accidents on the map coming through fremont and hayward. take it easy out there this morning. again, just a few lingering accidents on those roadways and fire coming through the bay bridge approach and we'll get more information coming up in just a little while. ladies, back to you. >> anthony, sounds good, thank you so much. breaking news in redwood city. police are collecting evidence at the scene of a deadly crash overnight. a man was hit and killed right near the intersection of middlefield road and pacific avenue just before 2:00 this

morning. now, this is not too far from fair oaks elementary school. right now all lanes reoepened and the coroner is on scene and the driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police. at 4:32, crews are still on scene this morning. keeping an eye out for flair ups. after flames tore through the former kntv studios yesterday. the building on park avenue and montgomery near downtown san jose has been abandoned for the past several years, but firefighters say homeless people were living inside. "today in the bay" bob redell is at the scene. there was quite the set up insi inside the building. >> these people who were transients, possibly as many as 30 really made themselves home inside this vacant building which was our old tv studio. fire department told us they pulled out barbecue grill, moijs, quite an eelaborate cisep

inside the building when it caught fire. based on interviews, the fire department does believe everybody got out okay. once the sun comes up firefighters will go in and do a search. they're in there right now making sure nothing flares back up. a very large fire and required a lot of backup to fight. the fire department called for a fifth alarm and they needed so much water they had to call the water company to increase the pressure. >> one part where it there was this pressure that came out of the building and it just turned into this little tornado and it was rushing towards everyone that was standing on the block and just moved them out because the debris was so sharp. it was like cutting you. >> this fire was very hot. we could feel the radiating heat from across the street. the power lines and phone lines were burning and a lot going on in the first 10 or 15 minutes of this fire. >> fire started around 3:00

yesterday afternoon and took about 100 firefighters just under 2 hours to get this under control. as i mentioned, still out here this morning. you look live on the back side of the old tv studios. you can see why they're already out here. you have some flame and some smoke. they're trying to keep an eye on the structure. they don't want anything to flare back up and really catch fire again. that's why they have a small crew out here and, again, the idea is once the sun comes up, if they weren't able to do it last night, which i doubt they were, just because it was dark out. they will go in to make sure everyone did get out. they interviewed the transients and they wanted to make 100% certain. by the way, montgomery and park is shut down and a couple lanes right up against the old building. if you have business through here, you just might have to find a little extra detour. laura, peggy. >> gosh, bob, both of us spent many years in that building, hard to look at this morning. >> you think of the history and its age and you think back in the '60s when the record hop was

being produced out of this building which, of course, was a local american band stand that history followed by many years of local news broadcasts. >> we'll check in with you throughout the morning. >> kntv opened its doors at that location back in 1955. many current and former employees reminiscing about the old studio and the history there. the old building was actually a bakery before it became kntv. old logos and old pictures, as well. brent and i on set. the city actually purchased that building and still owns it in hopes of building a major league baseball field in its place. maggie spent many years on the anchor desk in the old studio and said this is not how she wanted to see that building go down. >> so many people in the news business in the bay area came through that building and either learned their craft or came from another market to kntv and

channel 11. it's just populated the entire west coast and bay area. >> well kntv moved into where we are now, the current studios in december of 2004. but no doubt, lots of memories for all of us there. more photos from our former studios online. head to nbcbayarea.com. 49ers linebacker aldon smith is out on a $20,000 bail after being arrested at l.a.x. yesterday. first to post footage of police officers at l.a.x. taking aldon smith into custody. smith became belligerent after he was randomly selected for a second security screening at a checkpoint. he claimed to have a bomb. a spokesperson says smith may have been drinking prior to the incident, but it was the charge of making a false bomb threat that landed him in jail. an airport employee told him by

phone that he saw the confere e confrontation at the gate. >> i looked and saw who it was and he was taking money out of his pocket and throwing it on the ground and telling everybody he was going to be all right. he was going to be all right. >> now, the 49ers general manager released a statement that reads, "we are disappointed to learn of the incident today involving aldon smith as this is a pending legal matter and we are still gathering the pertinent facts." still no word when smith is due in court making a false report of a bomb threat is a felony punishable by up to one year in prison. now, in this latest incident the fourth criminal case against smith in just the last two years. he has been arrested twice for dui in the past few years and currently facing weapons charges in connection to an out of control party at his san jose home back in 2012. smith is just one of several 49ers also making headlines for the wrong reason in this off season.

>> and i watched him on fire before i kicked out the window and then there were two mike owen, matt owen were engaged and they died on impact and i saw that happen. >> federal investigators will reexamine bus safety rules to see if there is a way to improve passenger safety. causing safety concerns on the new bay bridge. the "sacramento bee" reporting that rust was found inside one of the chambers. the chambers are designed to prevent corrosion. the rust makes the rods and cable strands on the new span pretty vulnerable to cracking. however, a bridge spokesperson says there is no concern about corrosion. >> there's usually a lot of moisture in the air in the bay area. want to turn now to a live look outside overlooking palo alto and the cars along 101 but it is early on a monday. >> that's the thing, if you get up at 4:39 in the morning, christina, to make that commute.

no problem. >> you also get a treat this morning. you can see what's left of this awesome lunar eclipse. that moon is big and beautiful out there this morning. the april full moon is called the blood moon and you can see you get the rust color. from the south bay camera, a little distracting on the highway. it is beautiful out there this morning. 52 degrees in the south bay. take a look at that. it will hit you in the eye like a big pie. warmest day of the week, steady cool down as we head through the next couple days. tomorrow drop off by five to eight degrees. headed outdoors today, you want to take advantage of that warmth and this is what you can expect. mostly sunny by noon and warm in the valleys by lunchtime in the 70s and then that sun will set at 7:43 and sea breeze strengthens and cooler days. more on that coming up and a very slight chance of rain. we'll talk about that. right now, let's say good morning to anthony slaughter. >> good morning, christina.

welcome back, everyone. a good monday morning to you. 4:44. people in eastern ukraine are bracing for possible military action and the deadline for pro-russian activists to leave government buildings expired. so far the ukrainian military

expected after a man onboard allegedly tried to open an exit door in midair. the plane headed from chicago to sacramento made an emergency landing in omaha. witnesses say the man was acting strangely and at one point went to the back of the cabin and tried to pry the door open. the plane ended up continuing on to sacramento arriving about two hours late. the wait is almost over for one of the most talked about tech devices since the smartphone and that would be googp glass. they will go on sale to the public on tuesday, however, not for long. the wearable gadget will be available online for one day only. we are told the glasses will sell for $1,500 per pair and still be considered exclusive since there is only a limited number available to adults in the u.s. until now, only a select number of technology insiders have been able to buy google glass. high prices could keep beef off the dinner table. for more on that and the rest of your news before the bell this
