see are hauling perishable foods. at the moment california citrus experts are at their peak and keeping them refrigerateicide crucial -- refrigerated is crucial. >> reporter: this only works when it is plugged in to shore power or the ship or a generator. there are generators, the problem is there isn't enough to go around. >> don't have generator the fruit will be bad. >> reporter: he opened one of his reefers. 250,000 oranges sitting in a yard since last friday, since the operator can't put them on a ship. they have the mold and the smell that signifies rotting

food. one container of oranges turned to ooze. >> sat here for 23 days without a generator and then it was taken back to the customer. >> reporter: the perishable food situation is so backed up there is a west coast rail embargo. >> the rail won't bring anything in here. >> reporter: it is just as bad for imports. >> we have a lot of stuff that is on the vessel or that port. we have a lot of imports that will hit and it will be stuck at the terminal. >> this is worse and worse. >> reporter: there is an important thing called a supply chain. that is critical to many companies across the country and that will be the subject of my next report. tom vacar, ktvu channel 2 news. >> you have been covering this story for some time, reporting on the impact to businesses and truckers, and now all this food, we have 49 million

americans including 16 million children who go to bed hungry every night and they can't figure out a compromise to save all the food, seems insane. >> reporter: the more it gets backed up the worse it is around the world. for example, you have ships in the bay that shouldn't be [bleep] in the bay -- ships sitting in the bay, there are so many in the ocean and in the bay sitting, waiting for a parking spot because of the slow down. this is hundreds of millions of dollars. it will be into the billions of dollars just because two organizations that can close down the west coast ports of the united states can't sit down and make a deal. this is not fair. i guarantee you the government is going going to take a look at this and probably do something about it. >> this is mind-boggling. tom vacar live that port of oakland. thank you. there are new developments

involving the investigation into a dismembered body. san francisco police are releasing a new photograph of a man they are calling a person of interest. ktvu's christien kafton joins us now near market and 11th street in san francisco. police are being careful not to call this person a suspect? >> reporter: that's right. san francisco police issued a series of fran of the man -- paragraphs paragraphs of the man in question. >> we have put out a picture of a person of interest that the investigators would -- investigators would like to talk to. >> reporter: this was taken from a camera. officers won't say whether he was spotted handling the suit case or what peaked their interest. a white male in his 50s or 60s. 5'7" tall. wearing a pinstripe baseball hat, blue and orange jacket. police say he may be a

transient. as for the victim, the medical examiner said it was a light skinned male. at this point they are looking into all possibilities about how he wound up in the suit case. >> gang relates, anything there is a suspicious death it raises questions, especially when you discover the body in the state it was. >> reporter: san francisco police told me they are still looking for evidence and possibly looking for more videos shot around the time the body was dumped here. >> any word from the medical examiner on an identity and how the person may have died? >> reporter: at this point no word on the identity of the person. the investigation into how they died is still underway. officers are calling this a suspicious death. not a homicide. officers will use every tool they have including dna. >> christien kafton live in san

and said she thought he was trying to sell something. the owner says the incident is enexcusable and the employee is gone. >> this is not who we are. this is not what we stand for. that is why i made a decision oo terminate the -- to terminate the employee. . >> reporter: customers say the actions of one do not reflect the action of all. >> awful. i want to apologize. deeply to him and his family. >> reporter: cristina rendon, ktvu channel 2 news. >> he did not respond to our request for comment but he and the owner do plan on having a public discussion about what happened next week. they haven't finalized the details on where and when. this afternoon ktvu channel 2 news confirmed a worker at a kaiser permanente call center died from bacterial meningitis. it is the first case this year.

we obtained e-mails sent to employees. they said kaiser has been advised the woman had bacterial meningitis and that employees who work close to her have been contacted. 400 people work at the service center answering phones for human resources. we spoke with a doctor who tells us it is understandable that co-workers are concerned. >> very serious life threatening conditions. and even those who recover may have permanent damage to the brain. >> today kaiser confirmed a second case of meningitis but it is viral meningitis and a less serious illness. kaiser said it is encouraging any of the workers to contact their doctors if they had close contact with the deceased woman. we have new information about a second patient being tested for ebola in sacramento. since our report at 5:00 p.m. ktvu channel 2 news learned the

patient at kaiser permanente tested negative for the deadly virus and has been sent home. the patient was admitted wednesday. officials also announced today the test results ruled out ebola for a patient suspected at uc davis medical center. a decade long campaign for clean energy in san francisco is finding new life thanks to a turn around by the mayor. supporters held a news conference today to aaapplaud -- applaud mayor ed lee for reversing his position and called for it to include job creation. they are happy the mayor is now on board. >> but we want to make it clear that we are going to be working with him, we will pay attention to the details and we want to see this program take shape now and take shape this year. >> supporters say the idea is

to break pg&e's monopoly and increase the use of alternative sources of energy. hosting the super bowl is big business and so is finding a place for the crowd to stay. we will break down how big that part of the business could be for the bay area. >> a dense fog advisory for the second morning in a row, we could see one tomorrow morning, the weekend is here, how warm it will be. >> your ride home, that is interstate 80 in berkeley. it is jammed up in both directions. the tail lights heading towards berkeley and richmond. a look at highway 4, the headlights are heading east in to contra costa county. very slow going. a lot of folks head home for the night.
