10:19 pm
task force aimed at improving late night public transportation. among the recommendations, increase early morning bus and train service, which muni says it will do throughout the year. b.a.r.t. now funds some late night bus service to the east bay. >> increase bus service overnight by muni, and transit, is definitely a good step in the right direction. but there's a lot of work to do. this is a long term process. >> reporter: the report recommends better lighting at bus shelters. the biggest recommendation is for b.a.r.t. to run 24 hours a day. something b.a.r.t. says it can't do without having a second tunnel. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. says it can look into condensing its maintenance schedule to see if the trains can run late, at least on weekends. but that's unlikely to happen this year, if at all. a bit cooler out there
10:20 pm
today. we had windy conditions, and those winds really drop the temperatures. they'll drop overnight tonight as well. highs today, down from yesterday's highs. highs tomorrow warm up. less wind right now. it was windy basically all day, the winds have died down. the winds in response to this pressure center south brought that land spout, or funnel cloud, basically called a land spout. those showers are now dying out, so that low is leaving, as the low leaves, the pressure gradient weakens. when the lows are really close together there's a lot of risk. when the lines are tight, that means there's a steep gradient. 5 mile-per-hour winds coming ott of the north. today all day was north- northeast. calm winds at hayward.

10:25 pm
wharf tonight, and reportedly answered the call for about 180 jobs, a rarity after terminal operators had refused for months to fill the higher paid night and weekend shifts. >> it's been like a relief when they started the weekend again. >> reporter: a dispute created more tension in the fragile youth. oakland terminal operators sent all document workers home, after a crew declared they would take a unit break. meaning all units stop at once, instead of staggering their break. long shore workers told ktvu it was a misunderstanding. they said the unit breaks had been going on during the dispute, and no one told the rank and file, there was an agreement to drop.
10:26 pm
>> no one told us about it, so these guys went on break, and they fired all of them. need better communication and stuff, you know? >> reporter: even with work resuming tonight, it could take more than one month to clear the backlog. massive walls of stacked up containers are waiting to be moved. truck drivers are frustrated, but are just glad for every load they can deliver. >> today was relatively smooth. we were able to get it in and out without any problems. so i was happy. >> reporter: there was a shortage of crane operators this morning, a spokesman says there are eight ships being loaded, or unloaded tonight. still more than a dozen waiting to come here for a space. >> jana katsuyama reporting tonight at the port of oakland. the largest shopping mall anywhere in the country conducted security drills today after a terrorist group called for attacks on shopping malls around the world. the mall of america is located

10:32 pm
about the toxics. none of it was disclosed to us, or any of the tenants in the building. >> reporter: lamb says the issues only came to light when his girlfriend sued the former owners of the building, over other problems, including a leaky roof and windows. she lost that case, but filed a second case, challenging the verdict. the second suit also claims evidence of contamination at the property was never disclosed. central to that claim, a ground water study of the property in 2007, that found some of those voc's. around the same time, they reported they were not authorized to report results of the study. >> reporter: 2 investigates called the property manager for answers, and left several messages. when no one called us back, we paid a visit. >> we're not going to comment at this time. >> because you know, we've been trying to reach you for a
10:33 pm
couple of weeks now. >> the assistant manager? not budging. >> is there anything you can say at all? >> reporter: more documents revealed the buildings used to house a medical testing laboratory since 1994. records show the business used toxic liquids on the site. in january of 94, a report from san mateo county said a person on the property had to be hospitalized for shortness of breath. later that year, as the property was being sold, a former employee wrote the new owners a letter, warning them about toxic fumes, going on over ten years. >> what was your reaction to learn about that history? >> i was shocked. >> reporter: a straight record reveals clean up sights all over the peninsula, but nothing here. 2 investigates shared the
10:34 pm
information with lenny siegel. >> this doesn't appear to be a very contaminated site, but we don't know for sure. we don't know for sure if there are contaminants that made it into the ground water. >> reporter: san mateo county health systems signed off on the property. saying no further action is required. siegel disagrees. >> simply managing the ground water doesn't give you enough information to rule out vapor intrusion. >> reporter: the company has dismissed it as a possibility here, but siegel says more testing is necessary. >> the simplest way is to sample the indoor air. i have a concern that vapor intrusion may be a problem there. i don't know that it is.
10:35 pm
but the document seems to suggest there was a leak on the property. somehow got contamination into the sub service. >> reporter: while no one can prove ron's health problems were caused by the building, the current owner wouldn't tell us why the buildings have remained mostly vacant. lamb is still waiting for answers. >> i'm not going away. we need to find out what's in the ground. >> a judge dismissed the claims in the latest lawsuit, but she left the door open for lamb and his partner to investigate one claim. they say they're already preparing an appeal. despite numerous requests, no one from san mateo health would talk to us on camera. today, it still insists there's no further evidence to support more investigation into the property. at ktvu.com, we have posted a timeline of key events in this case. just look for the link to
