expected to last many hours today. the pipe was almost a century old, sending a geyser up 30 feet into the air, creating 15-foot hole in the street, taking crews more than three hours to shut off a series of valves and stop the leak. many students forced to wade through the water, up and downstairs, there was mud. others and with 100 vehicles stuck and stranded in underground parking garages filling up with water. crews some using inflatable boats saved at least five people. >> ucla was the sink for this water source. the important thing to remember, we have no reported injuries. the most important thing, everybody's safe. >> tough for many to see this. university's storied basketball court covered with up to eight inches of water at some points. it underwent $132 million renovation less than two years ago. social media blowing up with thousands of pictures showing damage, including this photo
