but while there was no water coming out of the pipes at king's transportation there was plenty in the yard of the charter bus company. talks about how much water there was. but the water only got up halfway up the tires.and not inside the buses themselves. those who were here when the break was first noticed around 945 this morning say evans avenue looked like a lake. just waves of water.i was wondering when it was going to stop. the cause of the break. it was most likely due to old age.fluxuating temps the pipe that broke today is

believed to be from the 1930's.but some of the over one thousand miles of pipeline underground dates back to the late 1800s.the sfpuc says they are ramping up their pipeline replacement project.the goal is now to replace 15 miles of pipeline a year. we try to put in a few thousand feet at a time it is a long process some projects can take a year or 18 months depending on how busy the street is. the more new pipe they can get underground will hopefull mean the fewer emergency water main breaks creating muddy messes on city streets. maureen kelly kron4 news. the manhunt for the suspect in the berlin christmas market attack is over tonight. he was killed by police during a shootout in italy. but his death has not ended the terror threat in germany. scott mclean with our partners at c-n-n explains. the death of 24-yr old anis amri has brought a europe-wide manhunt to an end, but it has

not ended the police investigation. or the terror threat. thomas de maiziere, german minister of the interior: this success of the manhunt means that the alert threat in germany has not been changed. it remains high. amri was shot and killed after police spotted him by chance at a suburban milan, italy train station. when police asked him for i-d, he produced a gun. one officer was injured in the shootout. according to italian media, amri traveled through france en route to italy. raising questions from critics about europe's open borders policy. german authorities want to know how he got to milan, and who may have helped him along the way. thomas de maiziere, german minister of the interior: it is mainly about uncovering networks in order to discover more of the background of everything in

connection with these investigations. police knew amri had links to a network of isis recruiters in germany. in a new video released by the terror group's media site, amri pledged allegiance to the leader of isis. for months, amri was on a german intelligence list of the most dangerous islamists in the country -- a list 549 names long. paul cruickshank/terrorism analyst:the worry is that there are other people connected to this attacker still at large. both italy and germany tried to deport amri back to tunisia unsuccessfully. that fact led to a conversation between the german chancellor and the tunisian president. angela merkel/german chancellor: i told the president that we need to be able to speed up the process of returning nationals. and that's not all -- merkel says she's will look at other way to prevent a similar attack. in washington, im scott mclean. one of anis amri's brothers is speaking out. he had this message for the people of berlin today. "we apologize to the people of berlin, those who were killed were innocent people. we ask for their forgiveness and we apologize to them again." the attack on the christmas market in berlin left 12 people dead and dozens more injured. police say the hijackers who took over a libyan plane this morning wanted to go to rome.
