space. >> you have all your stuff ready? >> reporter: a parade of suitcases lining up in front of the basement steps. the 11 kids ready for this move. >> come on, man. let's go. >> reporter: for most of the past month, they have called the carlins' house home. this local marine family barely know the mohani is. through church when they heard about a fire gutting much of their home, curtis and mitzi told their four kids, make some room. >> to be honest i thought it was something my parents would do right off the bat anyway because that is the people they are. >> reporter: those warmly welcomed houseguests now leaving. they won't be moving back to their fairfax house. the damage just too much. but after a few weeks living with the carlins they now have a new place to call home. and when we walked into their new home, we found mitzi tidying up the place. >> once the mohanis got the word the house was approved they said, okay, let's get all the

cleaning materials and get the house ready. >> reporter: wearing a patriotic tie, we were proudly shown around the house. he says he doesn't know what he would do without the generous donations. >> the people and the whole nation whom we don't even know, you know? but they came out, they want to help. >> i think they are family to me now. >> reporter: while the added space will be nice the carlin kids admit the separation will be tough. >> i will miss the shoes and stuff, by the door, 20 pairs of shoes, littlest to biggest. >> reporter: curtis even took part of the day off to see them move in. >> you can't put a price on what you get out of it. >> reporter: at 6:00, we learn about the struggles that still lie ahead for this family. in fairfax david culver, news4. >> what a great picture. one of new york city's most recognized buildings will look noticeably different tonight. 30 rock is getting a brand-new name. what was the ge building will now be known as the comcast building. and for the first time in history, the nbc peacock will

adorn the new york city skyline. the new comcast nbcuniversal signage will be officially illuminated tonight. it was on this date back in 1941 that the first commercial television broadcast went out over the airwaves from nbc's headquarters. comcast is the parent company of nbc4. a bus caught on camera texting while driving. look there. hear about the scary ride from the traveler who captured the whole thing on his cell phone. and there are reports tonight that efforts to lure the redskins back to the district are now being blocked by the obama administration. but when we did some digging, we will tell you wha

faced of a job tonight after this video showing him using his cell phone on the new jersey turn pike surfaced. >> passengers became really concerned when the driver started speeding. as george spencer reports, this is just one of dozens of violations the bus company has faced of over the years. >> reporter: this is a fireable

offense. for you this is a safety issue? >> yes. yes. >> reporter: he recorded the video after first seeing the driver texting miles earlier in the cherry hill area. he worried even a split-second distraction might cost lives. it appears authentic to you? >> yes. >> reporter: we showed the video to the owner of the bus company with offices on north 11th street. >> we have zero toll perhaps of cell phones. zero tolerance. >> reporter: jeremy backer tells us focus travel is the ticketing agent. he says the bus company is named yep tours. when we did a search of yep's federal records, we found just one accident but 25 up safe driving violations over two years. it puts the company in the bottom 2% of the carriers. even though this texting is clearly unacceptable, other violations represent a small portion of total trips. >> we do about 36,000 trips in the past two years, so 20

violations on the amount of 36000 trips in two years is a small number. >> and the good news to report, nobody was hurt during that bus ride. >> yeah. while the bus driver was fired, he was not given any fines even a ticket from police. view from above shows a mess. a live shot from chopper4 tonight of the damage from an old broken water main. homes and businesses flooded. some people told to leave the area. we are learning cleanup is far from over. the big concern is for tomorrow morning's commute. new numbers just released show more than 2 million gallons of water flooded georgia avenue at shore field road in wheaton. this has been going on the past five hours and still no fix. pat collins joins us live from

the scene. pat, any word on when this will be fixed? >> reporter: they are hoping tomorrow morning, but who knows. the repair work continues on here at the scene. it could take a while. let me give you some idea of what happened. the amount of water that spilled here today would fill about four olympic-sized swim willing pools and neighbors say this suspect the first time they have had to deal with the water main break here. it looked like the georgia avenue river. 2.5 million gallons of water cascading down the south bound rain of the road. show me how deep. >> um, i don't know. >> almost up to
