serious warning tonight about the hayward fault line...and the death and destruction that could be caused by a 7- point-oh magnitude earthquake. good evening i'm grant lodes.(vicki) and i'm vicki liviakis. the hayward fault has been described as a "tectonic time bomb." it's not a question of if the big one is coming, but rather when it will strike. and when it does, as kron for's rob fladeboe reports now, there will be dire consequences. (animation of hayward fault) the hayward fault...which stretches the length of the east bay, from san pablo bay through berkeley, oakland, haward fremont and milpitas... is the most dangerous fault in the bay. the so called "haywired scenario" imagines a magnitude 7-point-0 quake on that fault... centered south of oakland. ken hudnut/u.s. geological survey "....in the haywired scenario, 800 people die, 2,500 people will need to be rescued from heavily damaged buildings, another 22,000 people will be trapped in elevators, 152,000 households will be displaced..."(standup at

central park) rob fladeboe/fremont "...i'm here at central park in fremont. the hayward fault cuts right through the middle of the park. that swale or hump you see behind me, that is actuallythe hayward fault pushing the ground up, which has created that hump, which is getting a little bit bigger all the time..."(cracks in the pavement/broken curbs)look at this. there are cracks all over the pavement here and the curbs around the parking lot are moving along with the fault below. inside the community center, there is an ever-widenng crack in the concrete floor. these signs that suggest there would also be widespread damage to infrastricture and underground utilities.ken hudnut/u.s. geological survey "...nobody should be surprised by an earthquake that strikes a direct hit, like 1906, you may not know this but 1994 and 1989 were not direct hits, even 1906 was slightly offshore, we're talking about worse, much worse because this will be a direct hit on the est bay urban corridor..." making matters even worse, much of the fault zone, home to some 2-million people, is soft sandy soil and prone to what's called liquifaction, which amplifies the shaking, as shown in this simple but frightening demonstration. (liquifaction demonstration)in fremont rob fladeboe ron 4 news

(grant) thanks rob. we have team coverage on the hayward fault concerns tonight. in berkeley-- the fault runs through the cal campus. (vicki) kron 4's maureen kelly is live there tonight-- showing us some of the major retrofit projects to buildings that sit right on top of the fault. maureen? (maureen)that's right vicki....one of the biggest structures straddling the hayward fault is the home of the cal bears.it recently underwent a 200 million dollar retrofit....but even still you can see evidence of the fault's gradual movements. cal's memorial stadium was almost completely rebuilt account for the fact that the hayward fault runs right thru the stadium.some of the seismic retrofit work is under the feet of the football fans who come root on the bears....like these concrete

expansion joints....the press box has steel girders underneath....built like a bridge so it can move when the quake erupts underneath.some of the safety enhancements are overheard....they are called seismic dusters but they are essentially giant shock absorbers....to help absorb the energy of a big quake so the structure stays intact. but there are still places like this handrail where you can see the effect of being on top of the fault....it creeps about 4 millimeters a year. you come back in a year you'll find this crack is bigger and bigger until it has to be faxed the building was designed so fans can get out safely.i tell people all the time even though this thing is right on the hayward fault i would have no problem being an earthquake here it is been designed that much structural integritythe media were shown the work done to preserve the historic herbst memorial mining building which opened they year after the 06 quake. to make it seismically safer...the foundation was dug out....creating essentially a cement bathtub....and inside are 134 bearings... because it allows us to keep the original building in tact. if you see a

regular seismic retrofit you'll see girders all over you'll see steel girders all over it really takes the architectural look at a building this allows us to keep the building in its original design but the building actually stays ice isolated in the ground was below it (maureen)those here at cal say the loma prieta and northridge quakes woke them up to the need seismic retrofitting and they've spent the the last 20 years and tens of millions of dollars projecting their faciilies or replacing them. maureen kelly kron4 news.

sexually assaulted so severely-that it caused her fatal internal injuries. but decades later-the same doctors said they reviewed medical records that made them completely change their opinion.olivia: do you believe that the child was sexually assaulted?lisa: nobut that doesn't mean green thinks he's innocent. lisa: the evidence suggests-strongly suggests that mr.benavides is not innocent but it also is convicincing that he shouldn't have been doing his time on death row.if she were to retry the case-green says the theory would be a child abuse homicide of 2nd degree murder-for which the sentence is 15 years to life. but she says the challenges were ultimately too great- especially after the supreme court ruled the sexual assault evideence was false.green: even if we had the witnesses who say well yes i do think there is phsyical abuse-the word false evidence is going to be every other word out of a defense attorney's mouth.
