7:09 am
all the september driver does in this case is tell the guy to get out of the way so people can get on and off the bus. septa has high definition surveillance video cameras on the inside and outside of their buses and good thing too because you can see this passenger very recognizable to anybody who knows him, or ride the number 23 bus, at germantown and erie avenues in the tioga section where this happened last week. he is blocking the aisle, stairway and driver's view of the door as everybody gets on and off and so when the septa driver want him to move the guy goes off, pulls out a knife and threatens to kill him instead of getting off as he did anyway at erie avenue. >> they go through a lot driving the the bus, they get through a whole lot, ain't nothing like they are doing, it is their job. i mean that is how they feed their families. i think they get through a whole lot. >> it is a shame. they get paid, you know, well, but this is the the only pay enough to get hurt. >> it is completely senseless

7:15 am
temperature, and believe it or not, yesterday we had those flurries flying around and it actually measures a tend of an inch. we are at 27 inches even, for snowfall this season. the not anywhere close, of course to last season the second most snowy winter ever. so, nothing yet on ultimate doppler radar. in fact it looks real nice outside our window with that sunshine but you don't have to go too far away to find the messy wet ther that is coming later on. it is snow to the north where it is colder, it is rain to the south, very light rain in pittsburgh right new but erie getting a little bit of snow and mountains will get measures snowfall and that is winter weather advisory in carbon and monroe counties noon until 10:00 p.m. potential snowfall, one to 3 inches, possible, maybe a little will bit more as you go further, north and west, and kind of crazy for the last day of march but not unheard of. so rain starts to roll role in about noon. we're in the 50's to the the south, in the 40's in the philadelphia area, but 30's up
7:16 am
in mount pocono and the temperatures cool down and we will get that measurable snowfall beginning around 4:00 o'clock. it starts to pile up, anyway and now it is 33 degrees at 7:00 p.m. in mount pocono and we will see heavy rain moving in, to lancaster and eventually, philadelphia, but it does look like this will be only a rain event, and even later on tonight, when temperatures cool a little bit for us. so today the high temperature, it is 53 degrees. tomorrow, we will cool down to 50 but we will get sunshine for april 1st and then 65 degrees, on thursday. so there is friday, which is, good friday, for some and then the start of pass over is sundown, but whatever you are getting together for, the rain, i day on friday, and lasting into saturday. and, sunday with a mix of sun and clouds, for the phillies home opening day, and a high

7:32 am
will taper off by midnight. that is your tuesday, from the weather authority, so we're noticing maybe lighter volume, this week, perhaps, bob kelly because of spring break. >> yes, sue definitely unusual traffic volume. this week and next week depending upon the school district, some will have spring break for a couple days this week, others next week, a live look the at i-95, northbound we had an accident at route 420 cleared out of the way but extra backup working your way up toward philly international, and here's that update on that tractor trailer accident that still has the the eastbound lanes, of i78 closed, so this is for the gang, heading in towards allentown along i78, a tractor trailer blocking all of the eastbound lanes, westbound is opened, but for right now this morning, you want to use route 222 as your alternate as you head in toward allentown, and then, another accident, this one on the blue route southbound on the ramp, to head north on i-95, so we a had that crash
7:33 am
here. we have two other accidents on i-95, one right here at route 420 and another one, on that girard point double decker bridge. would i not than surprised if the sun glare this morning, has had an effect on a number of accidents that we have haddon the majors. north on the 42 freeway watch for delays from route 41 heading toward i295 in bellmawr. mike and alex, back over to you. >> thanks, bob 7:33. more developments continue to unfold in the germanwings plane crash. investigators they include reports of leak audio from the black box reporter to a german paper that pushed a time line of all that happened right before the crash. >> yes, leak, come on before the investigation is done. a german prosecutor now confirms that the co pilot had once been diagnosed with suicidal tendencies. so lufthansa, the parent company have of germanwings declined to say whether it knew of co pilot andreas lubitz mental health problems, but said, he had passed all
7:34 am
medical checks since starting work with the the airline two years ago. prosecutor say he deliberately crash the airline inner to the french mountain side last week. lufthansa says, it is insurers are setting aside 300 million-dollar to deal with possible costs, resulting from the crash. so lets bring in former federal prosecutor fred tecci, good morning, fred. >> good morning, mike. >> first of all, lets talk about the leaked data recorder information. >> horrible. >> you hear screaming and pounding and all that. >> in the you had, the in the transportation safety board will not ever release the the audio because they don't want the families to hear that. i think that is so callus to have release that had thing so families here, what their loved ones are going through in the final seconds including the captain who had two young children trying to beat in and get in the door. that was just completely uncalled for. there is no legitimate reason to do that and i had should
7:35 am
have never been done. >> they already had lawsuit filed because they are saying during the investigation normally you shouldn't release all this information coming out about what happen. >> look an aircraft accident investigation is not like clue it is in the like under the colonel in the conservatory. it i a long drawn out process. first thing they teach new aircraft accident deer is you never fall in love with the deer. theories will change. in this case, they have not even found, the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, they have go through the wreckage. there is all kind of things to look at. i think, for anyone to draw any type of conclusion we now know what caused it, i think in a large sense with you investigation has a long way to go. >> there is other debate that has started with this. >> there are cameras every where. we saw one on septa where the guy attack a bus driver. how come we only have audio from cockpits y can't we see what is going on. >> well, first of all you used to do that. american airlines used to have
7:36 am
cameras in the cockpit. >> i remember that. >> we used to watch the planes take off. >> right, exactly. >> after that accident in chicago where the engine fell off the airplane in the dc-10 and passengers watch the whole thing unfold in a television camera they did away with that. i don't think that is appropriate. the lawyers will sit here and a a lot of the show they may say they want to sue airlines and come up with why this ever happened again, airlines should have done something to fix it. aviations as a pilot, i can tell you aviation is countless hours of sheer important dumb and second of sheer terror. having a camera will in the solve that problem. >> it will not solve it but may make us feel better. >> but, you know what, that is not, it may make you feel better but, you know, pilots have to be able to do their job and they have to do what is most important to fly the the airplane. not worry about what people are watching and what the obvious are. their job toys put the the airplane on runway safely. they are committed to doing this job. this accident would have never happen in the u.s. because no
7:37 am
one would have been in the cockpit alone like there was in this case. >> could we not see a surveillance camera in the store, i mean usually all of the hours in the the day is there nothing going on but you need tonight these moments to figure out what happened. >> there is this, what is really going on inside. >> those days are over. >> they are going to get fallen asleep and caught doing things with the flight attendant. >> those days are over. >> and, you know, that kind of of stuff doesn't really happen. maybe good old days, old captain telling me about, when they were young, they would say go back. >> yes. >> those days are over. >> rest of them have have cameras on 24 hours a day why can't a pilot. >> because i don't think it will solve the problem, okay. we have already done things to solve this problem. let's he called this what this is. this guy was a mad murderer, pure and simple. after a mass killing like this we want to climb in the mind of killer and find out yes did it and we want to take steps to figure out what we can do to fix it.
7:38 am
unfortunately, it is not that i am many. after 9/11 it was simple, lock the the doors. this case is very, very different. it is not that simple to solve and i don't think solving problem other than doing as you said making passengers feel better. i don't see it. >> okay. >> all right, fred. >> thanks for having me. >> it is just so hard to believe did he it. >> who would do do something like this when they kill 149 people. it is just boggles my mind, to do that. >> terrible. >> all right. how would you feel if you are in a small town in new jersey, right. you see, military vehicles, patrolling your neighborhood. with an officer carrying a high powered weapon. there is a push in new jersey to stop this from happening in one town. we will take to you that town next.
