there. one of the things you should know, the fire department has been on the scene from the very beginning. we don't know. they haven't told us. they've been too busy to tell us if somebody has been injured, neither someone inside or a firefighter. we're trying to get that information to you. it looks as though they made progress from 24 fire from the time they got here. they got on top of the roof and ventilated it. there appears to be no extension to the buildings nearby. we'll find out more about this and bring it to you as it happens. 8:05. we have developing news coming in from germany. police say a u.s. military plane just crashed in germany. the pilot was hurt. a police spokesman there said the pilot ejected from the plane. that pilot's in the hospital now. at this point, the air force, the u.s. air force, has made no comment. but this report just came in about a military plane crashing in germany. more details as they come in. we're also following developing news from greece.

just a short time ago, a big earthquake rocked the southern island of crete. buildings shook as far away as  cairo, egypt. the preliminary magnitude is from 5.9 to 6-point. we haven't heard of damage or injuries yet the there's been no tsunami warnings about this. greece, as you know is one of the world's most earthquake- prone nations but fates and serious -- fatalities and serious injuries are rare. back here at home, the power is back on in san francisco after more than 6,000 customers spent several hours in the dark. the power went out. pg&e told us, the outage started at hayes and goff. nearly 6700 customers had no power at the height of the outage. it started about 1:30 this morning. it affected stoplights in the hayes valley and haight-ashbury

valleys, among others. pg&e say they think the outage was caused by an underground equipment failure. southbound highway 101 reopened after a garbage truck fire closed things down overnight. the fire started just after:00 a.m. near the cesar chavez exit. sanfrancisco firefighters got the flames under control. it took them about two hours to do it. that truck was moved off the freeway just after 4:0 this morning. 8:0 3. sanfrancisco firefighters broke down a door to rescue a sleeping man from his burning home. we first showed you this story live on last night's 10:00 news. it started just before 10:15 at a home on teddy near rut lin in vishtation valley -- visitation valley. >> this is a perfect, what we

spend $1.10. take a look at this car, 33,000 is the price tag. if you buy it today, as opposed to yesterday, you will have to pay an extra $165. we caught up with a woman who bought a car and avoided the sales tax hike. now, in car sales, the extra tax will likely have to be absorbed by the dealer in order to make the sale. >> $50. $75 might not seem like a lot to some people, but if you are selling $200 cars a year, you are talking about $15,000. here's the list of the cities where the tax goes into effect.

nice day. yesterday was record-setting. by that, i mean there will be some sun. no fog yet but it will probably be back tomorrow. it will be cooler tomorrow as a weak cold front comes in. probably back in the 60s for many or very low 70s over the weekend. it does look warmer early. there's discrepancies in our forecast models. one of them is very, very bullish for colder temperatures and rain. the other is like we'll cool it down. something is brewing for next week. what's brewing today is mostly sunny and warm. the higher clouds taking more aim to the northern part of the state. some of the records from yesterday were just unbelievable. i mean, napa, 87 degrees. that-- 87 degrees. that broke the old mark. that's hard-pressed to do but they did. santarosa is 86. that's also a record. sanfrancisco is 82. tied a record. mountain view, 83. sfo sent a record. kentfield, 81, set a record.

we had a few upper 40s this morning. now we're in the low 50s. 59 san francisco. 62 at 5:00 a.m. look at hayward. 5, 58. a cool and mild morning. even though we don't have a northeast breeze, we'll see some upper 70s and 80ings. but that system -- 80s. but today, sunny to mostly sunny. 6 os, 70s or low 80s.

livermore, 83. pittsburg, 83. 60s, 70s on the coast. by 2:00, 3:00, i expect the sea breeze to come in. cooler on the weekend and a little warmer on monday and tuesday. there's a warning out about dangerous river conditions in sacramento after a dramatic rescue. seven young men were floating on a homemade party barge. you see it there, when they hit the rapids in fair oaks. they capsized and three fell out. they managed to hang onto a tree as sacramento fire crews came to the rescue. >> we hit the rapids, we were getting cool, hanging onto

trees. >> none of them had life jackets on. there are signs about conditions posted everywhere. authorities say anyone deciding to go in, should wear life jackets. we're back live -- this is a live picture you see here. this is the slide area. the camera is panning around. you see the neighborhood as we see it. there's that giant crane. the city is saying the hill out there is still rain soaked and it's still sliding. six homes out there have been yellow tagged since part of the slide happened on public property. the city plans to make the repairs but it needs money from the state to pay for it. it's hoping the governor will approve that emergency deck larration. storm damage is -- declaration. storm damage is causing

hospitality industries and manufacturing. job losses continued in local government where budget cuts are forcing layoffs. at a hearing on the report, some noted the unemployment rate is much higher for minority groups, the unemployment for african- americans is up higher. but the head of the labor bureau statistics could not say why. >> it's absolutely true that the unemployment starts out high with these groups. >> reporter: president obama is expected to weigh in on this report in about an hour. the unemployment rate is triggering a jump in oil prices. the crude jumped cents, to more

than $107. that's because more people working usually means there's more people driving to and from work, increasing the demand for gasoline. the ott rap -- in japan, the operator of the radiation nuclear plant says radiation has been found and is 10,000 above the times of the government standard. now there's concern that the contaminated groundwater might spread to the water supply. and american workers are being hired to go to japan to help get the crisis under control. so far, 10 u.s. workers will be flying to japan on sunday. the recruiters say their pay will be higher than normal and will have the satisfaction knowing they are helping solve

northbound 101 continues to be slow on this friday. you can see how red the sensors are showing, the traffic is slowing down to 5 miles an hour. also 85 getting up to sunnyvale is going to be a little bit slow. 8:39. steve. twitter has been a little quiet. >> yes. i think they are all outside enjoying warm weather we've had and record-setting highs the past couple of days. boy, has it been -- this week compared to last week. last week i was talking about rain and wind. this week it's been sunshine and warm weather. in fact, so warm we had high temperatures in the central coast, down to southern california in record-setting territory. it was 90 in l.a. yesterday. 90. it was 87 in napa. we don't have a sea breeze yet. maybe today. we'll try. the weekend will be cooler,

60s, low 70s. sunday looks better. another system is coming in. middle and end of next week, there are discrepancies in our forecast. one of them is very bullish for rain. the other one is just cooler. it will not be as warm next week as it was this week. 60 in san francisco. i've seen around north beach and embarcadero, 62, 63 all right. so very calm conditions. there's hardly any wind. low 50s, mid-50s to upper 50s. napa airport has a north wind at 6. everything is time right now -- calm right now. i do expect that to pick up. the only end result will be cooler air mass. we'll get back in the 80s. it's another warm one out

there. 60s, 70s and 80s. low, 80s. probably not as farm as -- warm as yesterday. but still with high pressure in charge, it's not going anywhere. 70s, upper, low, mid-80s. east bay toward the south bay. santa clara, morgan hill to gilroy. upper 70s and same for the peninsula. sanmateo, redwood city, palo alto, woodside, 80. 60s and 70s. a little closer to the coast. cooler tomorrow, a lot of high clouds. and the wind will pick up on sunday. we warm it back up on monday/tuesday. the barry bonds's trial is on a long weekend break but find out why it may be over sooner than anyone expected. also -- two "american idol" contest apartments voted off the -- contestants voted off the show. one of them is from the community.

usually only the top ten go on tour but last night, was an unusual double elimination, so both had be on the top 11 tour for "idol" which is obviously a big goal for these contestants because it makes their journey and goal longer and there's more exposure. as expected, neither was willing to predict a winner in all of this. live in the newsroom, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> you know, they never have. >> he never have they are all friends. >> very diplomatic. thank you, claudine. a fashion trend sparked by steven tier, is sending stair stylists to fishing and hunting stores. the customers want the kind of feather extensions that steve timer has been wearing on the show. these are the same kind of feathers that fishermen use to make their lures. >> they wanted the young

all over their faces. just a moment ago, they got up on the roof to see if they -- to see if there's any flames or hot spots to put out. it didn't look like that was the case. people here in this place will be displaced for the time being. i don't believe that any of the homes are livable. reporting live from oakland, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. uc berkeley students are deciding if they want to ban the sale of water on the campus. cal's already set a goal of reducing traffic on the campus by 75% next year. but opponents say bottled water sales raise money including student government programs. they are gonna vote on this next week but this is only an advisory vote. school officials don't note have to take action no matter how the vote turns out. the numbers are in. this year's oakland running festival brought in big cash to
