we're live in wood side where a fire has been triggered and why pg&e is calling it a success. first, street gangs now it's security guards causing trouble in one bay area neighborhood. the polls open in san francisco 24 hours from now. coming up, we'll explain why the candidate with the most votes may not necessarily win. an early morning bust. how this might be tied to the bay area crime ring. mornings on 2 begins right now.

well good morning to you. welcome to mornings on 2. i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. it's monday, november 7. pg&e crews, they will be back in woodside today after the pipeline rupture during the water pressure test. it happened yesterday afternoon along interstate 280. it's forcing the lanes to shut on down. we've got a live look explaning why they say the rupture is helping the company. >> reporter: well, you know, as you remember with the san bruno disaster that actually drove pg&e to conduct this type of testing, so even though that this triggered a mud slide on to a freeway, pg&e is pleased that they found this weak spot before it became an actual disaster. we are standing in a park located on the backside of the freeway where the mud slide happened. and now, well, pg&e will be out here around noon to remove the ruptured section of that gas line here as the crews have

declined a 250-foot embankment to inspect that pipe yesterday afternoon. even though the high pressure and the water test, they detected a weak spot that pg&e is calling it a success. this is the main pipeline. >> it's exactly how they indicated it, the 1947, 24-inch seamless pipeline. that's what is in the ground there and that is the the piece that failed -- and that is the piece that failed. >> reporter: neighbors who live on top of the pipe, a bit shaken up, but overall, relieved that this test, you know, it worked. >> so we should be using up-to- date technology and test the entire line. and that is a completely good look and reasonable solutions for you and to this problem. they will now work with the california public utilities commission and perhaps the third party to investigate what causes the weakness. and pg&e officials say the spot

where the rupture happened had a dent in it. most likely from damage from the back color or some type of construction or repair work. hoping to rebuild the damaged section tomorrow. by the end of the week, they will have it ready and then retested. we are live in woodside, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, thank you. and the rupture comes just days after pg&e crews, they discovered a leak in pal alto on friday. it happened during hydrostatic testing. a part of the gas line contains reused pipes that is more than 60 years old. the documents also show the public utilities commission warned pg&e about the dangers of reusing salvaged pipes. our time now is 7:03 and the polls open in just 24 hours now to tell you where voters will be choosing from a very crowded

field of candidates for the mayor. tuesday is officially election day. but they have casted in their letters. that's one of the things they will be determining on tuesday, who gets that from san francisco city hall as the next mayor here. now, even on the sunday afternoon, you know, inside the elections office here at city hall, there were long lines of people here as folks, they came to turn in some of their ballots by hand. they must be received by 8:00 p.m. tomorrow. and so you know, if you have not mailed it already, postmarks don't count. and if you have not mailed that already, it suggests that you turn it in by hand like these people were doing yesterday. there are 16 candidates that are just running for san francisco mayor. this is the final stretch for them. so there were several campaigns to get out to vote events for all the candidates over the weekend. the campaign activity continues this morning. and this morning, the theme seems to be campaigning with commuters as they head into work. and all of them, they have campaign events at 7:30 this

morning at various stops and stations. as for the clear front runner among the candidates, it is very hard to predict because they will be using the great choice voting to select the mayor. that's when they will get to pick their first, second, and third choice for mayor. so we have a graphic to explain how it works. and if no candidate receives the majority of the first choice votes, then a process of redistributing the votes will be taken place. first the candidates with the fewest are eliminated in this case, candidate b. then voters that will be choosing this eliminated candidate will have their vote transferred to the second choice candidate. if the additional second choice votes give them a majority, then that is the candidate who will be winning. if not, the process of eliminating the candidates and redistributing votes continues. now, they will also be using this method to select a district attorney. and a new sheriff. and again, election day, it's tomorrow. all ballots must be, well, received here at the elections office at city hall by 8:00 tomorrow. live in san francisco, ktvu

channel 2 news. >> thank you. time now is 7:05 and with them taking advantage of the early voting. san francisco voters have been able to vote at city hall or mail-in absentee ballots since october 11. the political consulting firm told chronical that, well, according to their calculations, 79% of voters have already cast their ballots. well ahead of other neighborhoods. 7:06, two hours from now, president obama will announce a new program to help unemployed veterans who are struggling to find work. coming up at 7:15, a live report from our washington, d.c. newsroom where they will be announcing how congress is expected to weigh on in on employment help for vets. in the meantime, the defense secretary says that he is considering making cuts in areas that are previously considered off limits, such as medical and retirement benefits as well as reducing the number

good morning, welcome back to mornings on 2. i'm tori campbell. >> i'm dave clark. it's monday, november 7. and in just a couple of hours right now, pg&e repair crews will be back in woodside and they will be digging up the pipeline that ruptured during the water pressure test. now, this happened yesterday afternoon right along interstate 280 and the rupture briefly shut down the northbound lanes of 280 after a wall of mud and debris slid on to the northbound lanes. the ktvu joining us there. she is at the scene to tell us that pg&e and what they are saying about all of this. >> reporter: well, since san bruno, they have tested 120 miles of pipelines. they still have 30 miles more to go and they had need to complete that before the end of this year because that's when the winter arrives, and people, they will be be using a lot

more of their heat. now, we want to show you the right here behind us. take a look at it had, a -- a look at this, a group of engineers here. they will be taking up a 1.5 mile hike to a site where all of this happened just to sort of inspect it. we're on the park on the backside of the freeway, close to where the testing and the rupture happened. crews had to climb about 250 feet to inspect the pipe yesterday afternoon. and pg&e had been conducting a high-pressure water test. detecting a weak spot. it burst triggering a mud slide shutting down the freeway for several hours. now, this line is the peninsula's main gas line running all the way on out here to san francisco. >> this is what we're trying to find. raising pressure well and above over what the pipeline could normally operate.

this is good news for us and the the success. >> reporter: they will now work with the california public utilities connection in the third party perhaps as well to investigate that weakness. the spot where it happened had a dent in it. most likely, from the back hose or something. they will be on out here again all morning long and then at noon they will be coming up with a game plan. tomorrow, they hope to begin repairing the pipes, the damaged pipes. we're live in woodiest ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, thank you. time is now 8:02, coming just days after they found a leak on the same pipeline found on friday. you can see it during the testing on out here.

we have a live look to explain why that's the case. >> yes, it's all because of something called ranked choice voting where they will be able to select their first, 2nd, and 3rd choice for who they want to serve as mayor here in city hall. and thousands of people, they have already made their choice, and many by early votes and the mail-in ballots. these are some of the long lines in san francisco yesterday afternoon. if you have not mailed that in yet and you can mail it in hand if you wanted it to count. there are 16 candidates that are oning for san francisco mayor and this is the final stretch for them. there were several campaigns and get out to vote events for the candidates over the weekend.

as for a clear front runner among these candidates, it is very hard to predict because of the ranked choice voting process. it did give them more to think about before they cast their votes. >> i have already voted. >> okay. >> i'm an absentee voter. i have already voted. i'm cool with those choices. i understand it's from the beginning when they educated everyone on it. so i'm fine with that. i'm threw with it. >> i think the winner will not win in the first route that they will see at least, well, one thing. no candidate receives the majority of the first choice vote and then a process is redistributing the votes that will be taken place. first the candidate with the fewest is eliminated. this time, candidate b and then voters that will choose the eliminated candidate will have their vote transferred to the second choice candidate.

if it is giving them a majority, then that is the candidate that will win. if not the process of eliminating candidates and redistributing votes will continue. now, the san francisco voters will be using the same process to select the district attorney and a new sheriff here. live in san francisco, ktvu channel 2 news. >> 8:04. many china town residents are now waiting to make their voices heard. the san francisco voters have been able to vote at city hall or mail-in absentee ballots since october 11. the political consulting firms redistricting partners told the chronical that according to their calculation that 79% of china town's expected voters have already cast their ballots. that's farred ahead of other neighborhoods. all right, our time is 8:05 from the classroom to the picket line. the faculty members of all 23, the cal state campuses are planning to protest tomorrow and on wednesday. and the faculties are calling attention to several issues

improved since they were implemented on the bay bridge more than a year ago. according to the study, more than 4,300 vehicles abandoned the car pool lanes each day after the tolls stopped being free. studies found that more than half of those who stopped using the car pool lanes could go because of the tolls. the study also shows that the suggested base is saving drivers as much as 16 minutes on some bay bridge approaches. so that really adds up. >> yeah, it does. time is 8:08. hey now, i know you're watching 880 and everything else. it has not been that bad this monday morning, has it? >> no. i just wanted to find out if people who had a car pool, do you give them a dollar or just get in and cruise across the bridge? well, you can always tweet me and find me on twitter or go to
