. this is kpix 5 news. on the first full day of summer, people out in the water were horrified to see this, a mini van sinking in the bay. good evening, i'm elizabeth cook. >> and i'm ken bastida. right now rescue crews are wrapping up efforts to pull that sungen mini van out of the bay almost six hours after it plunged into the water. kpix 5 joe vasquez is at the marina green in san francisco with a decision crews made just a half hour ago. joe. >> ken, the assistant fire chief tells me right now they've decided within the last half hour they are going to leave the van in the bay. the body is still inside.
1:40 am
here's what has a lot of people scratching their heads. how could this happen. not mitch of a parking lot but somehow that van had to gain enough speed to go over one curb here, another secondary curb right here and then all the way into the bay. it happened just after 5:00. >> i saw the air bag was deployed, and there was one person in the driver's seat is all i saw, and the car was just floating there. >> it happened just after 5:00. ted madison saw drive from the parking lot off the seawall and into the bay without stopping. some sailors swooped in and tried to help. >> two kids with their shirts off just dove in the water and cliemd up in the back of the car. i have the video. they were banging on the glass trying to break the glass because it started to sink quickly as the water was filling up. they heard somebody yelling, "help me!" and they were trying to figure out if it
1:41 am
was a mail male or female voice. >> also watch it had futile rescue attempt from the shore. the car was -- the hood was under, and it was nose down and at that point, the people jumped in the water, and they were banging on the back and then it started to go, like, straight up and down and then it started going down and down. >> and it eventually sank, and they for hours were trying to locate it. finally did a couple hours later, and thaen they -- within the last couple of hours they've been trying to tow it out of the bay to no avail. they had trouble getting the tow strap around it. it's dark down there. the currents in the water are difficult. it was enough for the divers to identify that there is a body in the car, but they're going to come back in the early morning light and try to recover everything. >> yeah. safer for everybody including the divers to try to do this when there's more light out there. joe, do we know how this
1:42 am
happened, what prompted this? was she avoiding something or he? was it brakes failing? what happened? do we know? . >> no. you know, we're trying to piece together what witnesses said. it does not appear to be the case that she or he, the driver, hit the brakes, but there may have been a cur curve so they may have been going down then turning right shafrply into the bay. police told us they still don't know who this is. it is not a missing persons case at this point so they're trying to figure out even who that person is. >> all right. we'll know more at first light tomorrow for sure. joe vasquez in san francisco. thauveng, joe. believe it or not, about 400 people drown in vehicles every year in this country so what should you do in if your car winds up in the water like this? first, they say unbuckle your seat belt. sometimes when you're panicking, you forget to do that. that can actually hinder your escape. then as soon as you can if
1:43 am
you're not under water, try to open that window. if it won't open, try to break it open. do not open the car door, they say. that'll just let water rushing inside and you'll actually sink faster. if there are kids in the car, help them out through that window then get yourself out. right now, it's a total mess at airport terminals up and down the west coast. southwest had a major computer meltdown. this was a scene at oakland airport a little while ago. you can see all the massive amounts of passengers packed in there. sfo and san jose are also affected but it's really bad at southwest. big operation at oakland where kiet do is now. kiet. >> liz, the passengers here at oakland international airport got the word at 10:20 tonight all planes got the green light to take off. the problem is they're all stacked up two to three deep all trying to get out of a handful of gates. here's what it looks like at the
1:44 am
southwest koubter it. the kiosks are out of order unable to check in passengers. ajents are unable to check in bags or change flights so passengers were being turned away. inside the secure area it's organized chaos. lines are long as everybody is trying to get a new boarding pass. at one point gate ajints were keeping track with pens and paper. some folks just slept on the ground. three restaurant that is closed, actually reopened to provide people food and drinks. we talked to one traveler who decided to just come back tomorrow. >> it's not tend of the world. there's going to be other people that are going to be in a much more difficult situation and need to really be somewhere tomorrow, but for me i'm just going to take off and go home. >> and so we got late word from our man on the inside that they closed the doors to his plane. he is on a jet right now getting ready to take off to lax. total delay for him is two hours. some people are seeing delays as
quote
1:45 am
long as three, perhaps even four hours. a total of about a dozen flights are affected here. the southwest twitter feed is blowing up tonight. they blame it on a computer glitch that affected mostly west coast flights but got their nerds working overtime and working through this problem now. >> amazing how a computer glitch can create this kind of chaos. now, kiet, you heard something about the police being called in. >> yes. so when they made the announcement that the planes railroad getting ready to take off, people got ant si so they had to call in three alameda sheriff's dep tis to keep the peace. also in news tonight, the bart union could call a strike in as soon as ten days. tonight one bart worker is accused of pulling a really dirty trick to manipulate public opinion. da lyn tracked that worker down in a story you'll only see on kpix 5. >> federal mediators are working with bart and its unions to
1:46 am
hammer out the contract. the unions cite safety as the main sticking point saying bart station ajents often get attacked and harassed but bart says the unions are using worker safety as a way to get public sympathy. >> get to the table and negotiate a fair contract. >> in fact, bart says the station ajent george went as far as filing a fake police report to pressure bart in its latest contract negotiations. bart says the fake report landed an innocent man in jail for a few days. we tracked down george figueroa at his union office friday afternoon. >> any response to what bart is alleged at this point. >> no response. >> i see. they said you made a false report. are you -- what do you say about that. >> now, the district attorney will file charges. we also ran into him yesterday at a station where he passed out fliers to riders about a
1:47 am
possible strike. >> police say the fake report was filed two weeks ago. figueroa told bart police a man punched him in the chest ot a pay gate. police arrested the man. but bart says surveillance footage shows there was a verbal argument, no punches. >> the station ajent appears to not have been touched whatsoever. >> declined to comment directly on the accusation sgls we find it reprehensible they would put something out in the public without notifying the union and alleging the union committed some action. >> but hasn't the union done the same thing with bart. >> no, we have not. >> the da will charge him with one count of filing a false police report, a misdemeanor, and in friday he is frill employed with bart. >> and the bart contract talks will resume next week. we've learned that tonight, oakland has a new plan to catch the bad guys. from now on, each part of the city will have its own most

1:49 am
>> i've seen other didn'ts where they do have this. why are we just getting to this now. >> being more effective at getting in custody. >> more k effective than the way the department used to hunt down wanted criminals with squads of officers searching city wide. now, police will need to get the combhunty on their side wanting to turn in criminals who may be hiding out in plain sight. >> we have people right now that are wandering around the city the community may not know about. >> it's partially the department's fault that police have not been clear enough about who they're looking for and what they're doing to find them, but that will change, and with it police hope so will the number of crimes solved. in oakland, christin ayers, kpix 5. >> oakland police hope to have their most wanted web site up and running within the month. one of the most famous cooks in america is out of a job tonight. the rocking of food network
