i was down there i was beach. we watched it happened fourth of july weekend. aesthetic point of the view. they were dig ago way. it affected that had happened ws township of margate they threw the solicitor made application because now is there irreparable harm meaning ey ponds that are bacteria filled and causing harm to the beach go guard or whoever is there. what the judge did was put ain g everyone to get together and come up with a plan the problem. until he is satisfied, i don't think he will a this comes down to health and safety. >> it is beyond aesthetic part of it is the economy. margate, ventnor, longport they thrive off of the beach season. question becomes is it so bad such an eye sore people will not go there and go someplace else and they will lose money. but then when you get in the

potential of harming people, where people are bacteria filled and people getting sick , such as life guard have, then something has to be correct and that is what the judge did in this case. he stopped the construction for a moment. >> even with some of the research that they did, bacteria is 10 times more behind the dunes then water that is happening there, so what do you think difference is now because this has been a issue for a long time. people a in margate have been trying to voice their concerns do you think now that we have health issues and people get sick maybe this will take a different turn. >> that is best thing going is when you start affecting peoples health, the courts will take a harder look to try to go along with what margate 's people want. but state is kind of locked into a situation where environmental protection agency says listen we will build these dunes, we will protect our beach because what happened years ago with sandy. so that becomes battle in court. >> how long could this play out, with the timing of this happening during the summer.

will serve 15 months. what did you think about that >> well, i think you have to understand she was sentenced under juvenile 17 at the time. juvenile system will not only be more leni otpened to rehabiln verse punishment and that is point he bhe gave her the 15 mon county jail, he the other 15 months but i think case is more complicated think. you get into involved in assisted sue site, encouragement of suicide. in massachusetts that is not a crime that is why they charged her with manslaughter. you have to know the case as a whole to understand the depth of her responsibility. >> that is what some legal analyst are having issues with , they are saying it is not a crime. it is saying that word can kill. they don't have a law that is saying just because you encouraged someone. >> defense argued it is free speech. >> not only free speech. they charged her with involuntary manslaughter, it didn't have to be intentional just that her acts were

willful and negligent meaning she was end in the even the in the beginning she was actually trying to help him. it switched over late in the game and then last week or so, she's saying listen, go through witt, get it done, when he was trying to kill himself she told him to get back in the car. that was word that did her in and convicted her. it was judge that said that during sentencing. he said you were one who finalized this. that was the reckless act. >> telling her ex-boyfriend to delete those messages. will we see change in law moving forward when it comes to encouraging suicide. >> no question but then you get in the free speech issues. it was a texting only relationship. it is going to be something that will be battled for a while in the legislation. >> still a gray area. >> thanks, joe for coming in. >> thank you 7:38. we will right back.

and they die because their heart gets a genetic condition and then they successfully took this bad gene out and put new section in. >> like patchwork. >> well, it is really, really cool because it is on, it is on a embryo, at the beginning of life, when we're adults, it is hard to, change things because we have millions and millions and millions of cells that have that defective gene, here we're starting at the very beginning. >> so how early can you tell, woman pregnant they do test and say we can see these problems let's fix it. >> here you're getting embryos now this technique can only be done right now in vitro. so theymbo, they fertilized it and they can work on it like that but today, 50 or hundred years from now i'm telling you it ely a whole new brave world. now some people are se. >> about the ethics of this.

90 degrees. stray storm is possible. the storms won't be as widespread as yesterday but, cooler changes are coming for the weekend. that is your weather authority forecast. bob, bob. >> i'm here. >> 8:03. good morning. tgif. we have an earlier accident on the schuylkill expressway, eastbound right at the girard avenue interchange right by the zoo today, but 21 minute trip from city line on in, some sun glare, every where and we have delays now on amtrak, amtrak is having signal issues in baltimore. power issues in and out of new york's penn station. septa has been running with delays on a couple of rail lines. they have just corrected the power issue at jenkintown. they had left over delays on the west trenton line. we have thunder boomers rolling into new york. there is delays in and out of the new york airports and that is going to have a come minute necessity effect on air travel not just here in philadelphia but across the country when you have big delays in new

york. so be ready for cancellation from his last night that could impact your flight, this morning. they don't show up as a delay, and hello to the marlton circle the old circle here route 70, 73 over in cherry hill, new jersey with no delays coming up and over the bridge, alex and thomas, back to you. 8:04. a driver is dead in quakertown after falling asleep behind the wheel and driving into a pool supply store. >> impact led to a fire and a eventual hazmat situation. steve keeley on the scene in quakertown with more, steve. >> reporter: we don't know if it was a man, woman or what they were driving or is what left of what they were driving you can see is what left on the pool business in the height of the pool season. hazmat situation is obvious. pool businesses have chemicals like chlorine, and things that make the water good, maybe to seal a pool and that stuff caught on fire. it cause a danger. we will spin around and we will show you here's 309. this is on a straight away but

coming up on a hill and slight curve, you get a sense of how fast people are going here. it feels like we are standing in the middle of the pennsylvania turnpike which we took to get here. but people are flying here. one thing you will notice as they fly by, it sound like we are covering indy 500 there is no skid marks in the road anywhere around here. so, alex, you mentioned the report is that someone must have fallen asleep that would indicate the fact that there is no skid marks if somebody didn't even hit the breaks or became incapacitated. the staff here is trying to get whatever not totally burned record there are in the office and put them in the back of their truck. they have been pulling out drawers, cabinets full of record. you can see them in the back of the truck. some of them have burn marks. see those tv satellite dishes. there are apartments attached to this building. it is fortunate that this fire didn't spread even further because there is several apartments you cannot see. i walk around back, a couple of cottages back there but

people are living here as well fortunately nobody else got killed when this essentially blew up here. chris is falling in the street , chris, get out of the street because i'm talking about how, chris, stay there for a second, that is it, sorry we are tangled up there. you can see debris, fire officials have finally left, and it is a wreck. and, sadly this is busiest time of the year here in the middle of the summer here, and they have to pick up pieces and carry on with their business, at lee their truck's working and a lot of their record but i'm looking right here and i can see burned record that they burned out here and a folder to the right on the ground over here by the stones. hopefully they will get their record because i'm sure they have record and jobs, you can see them burning out burned drawers from the office and putting them in the back of the truck. hopefully it is in the a total loss and they can make some kind of a business decisions with what they have left. you can see pool supplies, still wrapped in plastic here

that they pulled out were they caught fire, it looks like barrels of chlorine that you would have by your pool or pool shed yourself. boy we are looking at things melted there was in chance of anybody surviving this i'm trying to make out any kind of car parts and it is difficult to do that what a horrific accident here on a straight away of 309 but happened before 2:00 a.m. and that is why they are thinking somebody may have fallen asleep but they will investigate and they will see fit was a mechanical problem but chances are, somebody either had a situation with their heart, or some other kind of seizure, or they fell asleep driving. chris, one more chance, show them traffic coming here. i'm looking at the grass here and i cannot even tell where the car came up into this. maybe this car somehow, came through one of the driveways, and it looks like maybe here, chris, come over here for a

second. you see skid marks right in there, or maybe melted, tar marks. maybe the car came off the road there and threw the driveway here. you can follow those long lines in the building. perhaps that is it or those marks were made when they towed this vehicle out of here but it is hard to make sense as they pull out record out of the office there and hopefully those people still have jobs somehow. thomas and alex. >> so unfortunate, extensive damage there they are trying to salvage whatever they can. our thoughts with the families of the driver. >> lighter story here at 8:08. nine year-old boy from florida spent time with new jersey state troopers, no, in the because he was in trouble with the law but made trek to give troopers a special treat. >> his name is tyler known as doughnut boy. he has been traveling across the country, delivering doughnuts to men and women in

blue. nice. he talks with officers at each place he visits, yesterday, he stopped into new jersey state police barracks and got away in williamstown. why is he doing this? well, let him tell you. >> cops are my best friends and i want to remind them that people still care about them because people are judging people a whole, judging the whole group. >> so sweet. i am trying to see what his cape says. >> doughnut, doughnut. >> doughnut need something, it sound like something cute on the back. >> doughnut a reason to thank a cop. >> his mom has been joining her son on a cross country adventure, memories to last a lifetime. >> he wants to make a best friend. i'm sure he has a whole lot of best friend this is ever they go. afternoon on the basketball court changing one local life, 12 year-old tyler meets his hero ben so
