8:55 am
immediate coastline. a few high clouds out to the mix, it won't play much of a role at all. our forecast, we have another warm to hot day away from the shoreline, low clouds, patchy fog. we have clearing over the golden gate bridge the next few days. it's right around the bay, partly sunny skies this morning. temperatures warm up nice lip this afternoon. 75 to 83. inland neighbors off to a mild start this morning. beautiful sunrise earlier today. once again upper 80s to lower 90s. these numbers this afternoon about the same as yesterday. it could be a touch cooler in a few spots. oakland mid-70s, a n pacific a 63. here's a look at your five-day forecast. it will be very hot inland, back up to the upper 90s, we do bring in a chance of isolated thunderstorm first thing monday
8:56 am
morning, a slight chance for tuesday and a chance by wednesday. we have a lot of details to warm up. no concern on the hot side. especially away from the coastline. >> all right. 8:55, the count down is on. we'll take you back outlive where that landmark building is about to go down the history book.
8:57 am
8:58 am
the warning sirens have gone on, giving us an indication everything is on schedule right now. >> ktvu's christien kafton is out there. you said there was a 10-minute
8:59 am
warning horn you heard? >> reporter: yeah, i actually didn't hear it. we were giving a high sign. it's not audible where we are. i'm actually looking over at brad wells. he's cfo for cal state east bay. he has been giving us a visual sign, if things are still going on track. he just raised his finger for the one-minute sign. so that means we are one minute out right now from the scheduled implosion here at warren hall. claudine was saying a minute ago, a lot of dynamite, 430 pounds of dynamite and high explosive called rdx, all set to bring down this 13-story building. those sirens have gone off, meaning the area has been cleared. there have been police officers in the area, making sure that there is no one in the area. if there is somebody found in that area, they will stop the process, clear the area, then restart the countdown. again, at this point, we're not getting that as the indication right now. we are about 25 seconds out right now from the scheduled implosion here at warren hall.
9:00 am
>> and it will happen quick. 7 to 14 seconds and this should be all done? >> reporter: the whole process should be 7 to 14 seconds. we are 10 seconds out. i'm going to -- [ explosions [ >> we can hear the explosions. [ explosions ] [ warning sirens ] >> 13 stories. opened back in 1971, tallest structure in heyward just until about 15 seconds ago. >> that was faster than 7 to 14. they were going to blow one side and let gravity do the rest. that's exactly what it looked like happened. >> reporter: yeah, you could see the blasts taking place and then the building hung there just for a moment. as you said, gravity really did the rest. there's a large crowd here. you might have been able to
9:01 am
hear some of the applause and cheers, as warren hall went down. now taking a look, you can see the big plume of dust. i was out here the other day talking with the head of facilities here at cal state university east bay. he said they did anticipate that there would be a dust cloud. they are, however, saying they don't think there will be any damage to any nearby buildings, which would be incredible. a very surgical strike using this explosive. in fact, the library is just across a small alleyway, probably no more than 50 feet away from where warren hall once stood. they are saying not only will the building not be nicked, i said what about the glass. will the glass survive the impact? they said it sure will. they said they know what they are doing. as the dust clears, we're starting to get our first look at the void, where warren hall once stood, the nearby library in the area, again, seems to be standing, intact. seems at this point that things went off without a hitch. we will, of course, continue to
9:02 am
monitor the situation out here and check to see if in fact everything did go off as planned. but at this point it, does appear that everything went down as planned here at warren hall. >> and how long before crews actually start going into where warren hall was and start looking around and pulling out the debris? >> reporter: well, that's one of the big projects, of course, getting in there. no word on exactly when they will go in. one of the first considerations, of course, is safety, for anybody involved. they will want to be sure that all of the explosives have in fact gone off. presumably, that will be one of the first things they do before they try to get into that area, is make sure that in fact all of the explosives used did go off, make sure the area is stable and secure and safe before they can get in and start the lengthy process of removing that, that debris. we can tell you that, you know, this may have taken just a few seconds, as we all saw, to come down. the big process, of course, is
9:03 am
the lead-up to it and all of the work that follows. they will have to do a lot of work hauling all that debris out. >> and 12,500 tons of it, the estimate of what it will be. i'm curious, did you feel the ground shaking? they said it would be like a 2.0 earthquake. we know the heyward fault is 2000 feet from that building. did it feel like a little bit of an earthquake? >> reporter: you know, subjectively, i wouldn't describe it as feeling like an earthquake. we definitely felt the concussion from the explosives used. that was the first thing that i noticed. i actually felt the concussion. i would say just a split second before i heard the sound, so it all came rushing through. we could definitely feel the vibrations from the sound. didn't necessarily feel the ground shake. i'm looking over at my photographer, ryan. he's saying he didn't feel the ground shake either. we both definitely did feel the concussion from the explosives used to bring down warren hall. >> and what about the usgs?
9:04 am
talking about earthquakes, they placed seismographic sensors and recorders out there, all because of the heyward fault. the building was so close to the heyward fault, just about 2000 feet away. what are those sensors and recorders, what are they looking to get out of those? >> really, what they explained was these sensors looked straight down at the vibrations in the ground. they say that if you have one sensor, you have sort of a beam looking straight down. if you have two, you have sort of a, you have sort of a plain. when the building goes off, they are hoping it will send a shock wave through the ground and with their net of 600 or so sensors, they are hoping to really develop a 3d map of the area here surrounding the heyward fault, so they get a sense on what the ground looks like, what kinds of materials are here, and that gives them a better sense of what would happen in a case of a major earthquake, where the shaking will be worse, where the shake will be a little better.
9:05 am
if we can come on back and take a look at our live picture now, you can see that the dust really has started to clear quite quickly, and you can see there's the void where warren hall once stood. it's a pretty incredible sight. it was a landmark here in the heyward area. and now, it is in the history books. >> and for those people who may be just tuning in now and saying, wait, we missed it, we've got it for you again. we're getting impressive feedback on our facebook page. looked like it happened just as planned. >> here we go. [ explosion ] >> reporter: sure did appear to go off without a hitch. [ explosion ] >> if you watch it again -- >> reporter: we have -- we have an opportunity right now, the president of the university is here, if we can talk to you just for a moment about your take on all of this, history in the making, and now warren hall
9:06 am
is history, so to speak. >> absolutely, yes. we were sorry to see the building go, but given the seismic challenges it was facing, we needed to take it down. we're really pleased that the improceedings went as planned. >> reporter: that was the big question. did everything go as planned? from our vantage point it, appeared everything went off without on hitch. >> yes, it did. it was supposed to tilt away from the library so it wouldn't hit, so whether it imploded it fell exactly as planned. it looks very good. >> reporter: what can we look forward for the rest of the day? when will crews get in and have a chance to start removing debris? >> i think they will begin today and they will be working today and tomorrow to remove the debris and clearing it away. they probably won't have all of it cleared out, but they will have enough so we can reopen the campus at 6:00 a.m. on monday. >> reporter: that's an important note, that cal state university east bay still closed down. people may think that because the implosion is over, that they can come back onto the campus, but that is not the case. this is still a secured area. >> right, absolutely. it is a secured area.
9:07 am
we cannot have people come back on because of the demolition that has occurred, as well as the construction crews that will come on. >> reporter: if we could just talk for a moment about the feel of all of this, really, there was -- i'm sure you had offices there. i've talked to many students who had classes in warren hall. it's sort of the end of an era so to speak. how are you feeling at this time? >> a little bittersweet, as you're suggesting, because the building did mean a lot to the campus. it was an iconic structure. you could see it across the bay area. now you won't have that visual focal point for the university. we hope to build something else there, put a monument or some iconic structure there. >> reporter: sounds great. thank you for joining us. we'll take one more look at the void, where warren hall once stood. really, again, guys, pretty miraculous that this building seems to have gone down without a hitch. again, you had heard it there, that the building was designed, the explosives were designed to settle off, set the building off to one side, then have it settle down and then they say
9:08 am
it appears that is exactly what happened, that the implosion went off, the building leaned away from that library that i had been talking about earlier, where they say they don't even expect a nick on the library, no blown-out windows. they say it seems everything went off text book and that crews could very well begin the process of removing that debris as early as today. >> and i know we have another look at this from a different angle. i think i saw there as the dust started to blow out of there, some of the rubble. i don't know if we still have that shot. i guess we don't. you can see all the reinforced concrete walls, now down. about 12,000 tons? >> yes. they actually said -- there was a quote from the company in charge of this from maryland, who has been doing this for 65 years. they said they do not expect the debris field to be any further than 35 feet away from the foundation. you can see a little part of that building through the trees there, which is pretty incredible. and the precision of the science, they said this is very predictable and very safe. i just got something on
9:09 am
facebook from one of our viewers, pam nolan, who lives in alameda. she said when she watched it here on ktvu, then two seconds later could hear the explosions, kind of a delayed sound. there's the other picture you're talking about, the rebar, steel and concrete and what is left of this warren building, historic building and an historic day as this chapter ends for that building because it was seismically unsafe and they just couldn't have it there anymore. >> warren hall, named after mr. eguy warren, 1957, persuaded state leaders to open the state campus in heyward. that campus is closed now and is scheduled to reopen at 6:00 a.m. monday. quite the impressive sight here, as you watch live on mornings on 2. we'll get back to christian kafton in a bit as he gathers more reaction from folks at the cal state east bay campus. early this morning, law enforcement in solano county arrested a fugitive who they say tried to ram police cars in a daring attempt to escape. vallejo police responded to a report of gunfire at 2:30 this
9:10 am
morning on the 400 block of top sail drive. officers spotted two people leaving that scene with the suspect lloyd harris behind the wheel. police say the chase went on to interstate 80 and at times, the suspect was driving against traffic and even tried to ram police cars on two separate occasions. investigators eventually tracked down the two suspects. harris was caught by some police dogs. he was wanted on drug charges. the passenger, jennifer crackle, was also arrested. forecast looking nice. fog near the immediate coastline. it will continue to feel muggy out there. that's the camera perspective on the satellite. we do have high clouds streaming in, favoring the southern half of the region, south of golden gate bridge. as far as current numbers, updated for the 9:00 hour, we

demolitions crew that everything went off exactly as planned. that's exactly the news they were looking for. there's a nearby library building. they said that as the building started to settle, they had it so it would settle away from the library. it seems to have done exactly that. we haven't had a chance to get too close, but from our vantage point, we haven't seen any damage to the nearby buildings. we can also tell you that some of the curious onlookers here said it was absolutely spectacular. they said it absolutely delivered what they were hoping. they said they could feel the concussions, just like i felt. they did not feel the ground vibrate, but again, those vibrations certainly what the usgs was hoping to focus in on. just a minute ago, i spoke with a representative from the usgs. he said the data from the seismometers they placed in the area will take them months to sift through that data and figure out exactly what happened out here. they do say, though, that this event should have registered on
9:33 am
the usgs site, so we are going to be checking out that in a few minutes to see if in fact this did show up on the usgs site. one of the big things they are looking at, they want to figure out what the ground is like in the area. they are using the vibrations from the collapse of warren hall surrounding the heyward fault. that data is months away. coming back to our live shot, taking a look, you can see just a little bit of warren hall sticking up there, leaning, again, away from the library. we are hearing, again, from university president leroy maurice that crews could get in there as early as today to begin the process of clearing away what is left of warren hall. we will continue to monitor the situation out here. certainly a very exciting morning here on the cal state university of east bay campus. a lot of excitement out here. fans in the area, again, say

9:35 am
event will still get paid for planning that's already been done. then the remaining money is going to go into the general fund. >> they are there. the commission made a decision to allocate them. we have a contract with a contractor. that contractor did a certain amount of work. we need to go through and figure it all out and we'll move on from there. >> there is still the possibility there will be some kind of large public party in the future. a celebration could be held once the bike path on the bay bridge is finished or when the existing span is torn down. parole has been revoked for a man considered a person of interest in the death of sandra coke. a federal investigator from oakland. 56-year-old randy alana violated parole by contacting coke, failing to charge his gps monitor, and resisting arrest. alana is a convicted sex offender who briefly dated coke 20 years ago. he was arrested for parole violation on august 6th, two days after coke was reported missing. her body was found last week in vacaville. police say they are still
