groening highway. >> that is according to coup google.com. >> and earlier there was concern there might be people trapped in parts of the neighborhood we were looking at earlier. we are waiting for reports on how rescuers maybe able to check car to car. we are getting video from a news helicopter up above at this point. some cars in the parking lot but severe flooding down the neighborhood that we looked at earlier but a tremendous amount of water gushing out of that main. >> baltimore is a very, very old city. the communities around baltimore are very old. it is safe to say their pipes are just as old as some of the pipes here. maybe some hasn't been replaced in some time. that is speculative but that is a huge huge break and the water is still coming. we haven't seen, though, any crews anywhere close to this area. >> not around any of the cars we were looking at we saw a neighborhood and people walking

around but no emergency vehicles. clearly a tremendous amount of damage to this roadway. you see obviously traffic is stopped from some distance away because we don't see cars in this area. >> groening road, is that right. >> yeah, and dunhaven. >> this is groening. >> that is groening highway then. >> we haven update on closures in that area including mcshane long view, logan view drive, dundalk and groening avenue. it is closed to the train tunnel. that is where the collapse is. >> if you care i have it on doppler and i will zoom in if you want. >> you want to take a look at it. i was thinking of the traffic situation. >> this is dundalk. this is where it is. it is a pretty big neighborhood

officials are trying to get swift boat teams out to those cars to make sure people are out of them and get them out, if they can. again, it looks like it is getting more and more precarious in the neighborhoods that surround this area of broening highway. >> right now we will go to a phone interview with assistant fire chief scott graham with montgomery county fire and ems. you helped to handle the river road rescue. give us a sense of what is happening right now as the emergency crews are converging and trying to contain this. >> good afternoon. certainly. it is a precarious rescue. a lot of considerations i'm sure the fire and rescue officials have taken in to account up there right now. looking at the aerial shot, you know, although people may be seeing parking lots or roadways

or streets you certainly can't take apparatus and certainly vehicles and drive through the water. although you may think you know where the streets are, erosion, the utilities and things like that that lie below it. looking at the two vehicles, they would certainly require a swift water response to specialized water rescue response. the velocity of the water is something you need to take in to consideration. the rescuers safety. i'm not sure how big the water main break is but looking at your shots from an aerial view it looks significant. >> can you give us any sporetective on how dangerous it could be. >> certainly looks like it is some sort of a storm sewer where the storm sewer cap washed away because of the

water and that would pose dangers of falling in to one of those but what i'm looking at the bottom of the screen appears to be a storm sewer cap that washed away and the water is escaping through that. >> you dealt with an extraordinary main break in our area in december. this was maybe a five foot, six foot main. without knowing what happened there, what do you suspect may have contributed to such a huge break and a huge flood? >> i have no idea what would have contributed to it. the considerations would be left to the utility authorities, but aging infrastructure, if there was construction in the area that may have interfered with the water line in some way. a number of things could have caused it and certainly the utilities when they get to the scene and actually control it they will be able to pinpoint the cause. just trying to get what would make it happen.

if you look at the age of the infrastructure or if there was work being done that may have struck it or a weakened. >> thank you so much for your time. we are of course going to follow this. as you get more information you can certainly share that with us. thank you so much, though, for our perspective. >> thank you. moving on to other news now, president obama is stepping up his fight for health care reform with a big media blitz. joel brown has details on the latest strategy that is coming out of the white house tonight. >> reporter: president obama is pushing health care reform in to tv's fall lineup. the president will saturate the sunday talk show circuit taping interviews with five networks. >> in a way the more he reaches out, i think people pay more attention. >> reporter: at this point in his presidency, president obama has already done three times as many interviews as his two most resent predecessors.
