rest of our employees. >> reporter: kpix 5 spoke to a current tesla factory worker who wanted to remain anonymous. he claims, quote, do i see unsafe practices? yes. however, he says, they are not tolerating unsafe practices anymore. the electric car company admits some employees worked significant amounts of overtime so the company could survive. but they have now added a third shift to improve safety. furthermore, they wrote: >> tesla employees tell a different story. >> we were so tired, we could have walked on the highway and sat down. >> reporter: they say they put products over people. >> we are trying to run as hard as we can. >> reporter: they are questioning the recordkeeping of the injuries and they say it is too early in the year to say whether the company is in fact

chopper 5 caught the aftermath of a fire in merced county. this is what remains of a bus that had children on board. the driver and the students all got out safely. the flames broke out on a roadway on the western edge of merced county right near the city of los banos. a viewer sent us this video of clouds of smoke. the bus stopped when the driver saw flames coming from an rv and the flames spread to the bus and moved quickly to the grass nearby. crews were able to get the fire under control in just about half-hour. ever since the 1989 earthquake seismic retrofitting has been completed on every state bridge except the golden gate. jeffrey schaub reports. you will see it only on "5".

>> reporter: the 1989 loma prieta earthquake, san francisco's famed marina district in flames. interstate 880 flattened. 42 people died. and a large section of the bay bridge collapses. i'm on the carquinez bridge which opened up 14 years ago built to withstand a major earthquake. unlike many of the older bridges around the bay area that had to be retrofitted and were retrofitted more than 20 years ago. with one exception. the golden gate bridge. >> we have not yet finished all the retrofit work at the golden gate bridge. >> reporter: you heard him correctly. in the nearly 3 decades since loma prieta wreaked havoc in the bay area, only a portion of the retrofit work on the golden gate bridge has been completed. >> i can't go into -- >> reporter: the bridge district general manager dennis mulligan. >> as we're going through this journey of retrofitting the bridge, september 11th happened. so we paused and we revisited our retrofit strategy. >> reporter: 9/11 was 16 years

ago. in that time, both the southern and northern approaches and anchorages have been secured. but the main section, the most important section, the entire 4200-foot length of the suspension span, including both towers, has not been strengthened. mulligan says part of the delay, engineers had to custom design dampers or shock absorbers to help the bridge withstand a major quake. >> weaving through an retrofitted the -- we have gone through and retrofitted the most vulnerable parts of the bridge first. if you are on the bridge in the mother of all earthquakes, you'll be safe. >> reporter: but here's the shocker! if a major earthquake were to happen well into the next decade, the golden gate bridge could be shut down for months or even years until the final phase of the retrofit work is complete. >> we may have to close the bridge to traffic if it was a nearby big earthquake we would and it would have to be a significant amount of work that would take place. >> reporter: on a project that hasn't even begun yet. so what about the other 7 bay

area bridges? >> every other state bridge has been seismically retrofitted and completed. we spent $1 billion on the richmond/san rafael bridge to retrofit one structure. >> reporter: the metropolitan transportation commission: >> i think it's fair to say if the state owned that bridge, it would be done. >> reporter: even if the bridge district wanted to start the work tomorrow, it doesn't have the $600 million to do it. the bridge is managed by a stand-alone organization and it can't count on the state or federal government to step in and help. so we decided to come to sacramento to get reaction to our story from state leaders. but like a hot potato, nobody wanted to touch it. instead, the governor's office and the state secretary of transportation issued a joint statement to kpix 5. it reads in part: at this point, it would be inappropriate for us to offer comment on your story. we would defer to the golden gate bridge and highway district." the state may not want to

comment, but the work won't get done without their money. >> do you have the money? >> we're working to assemble the funding as we speak. >> reporter: back at the mtc, wrenchler says that could be a "hail mary" pass. >> the amount of money in sacramento and washington, dc isn't that easy to get to so when you're talking about trying tro raise $600 million, it's going to be hard. >> reporter: jeffrey schaub, kpix 5. >> in the peninsula, somebody is paying millions to call this flintstone house their home. the colorful hillsboro property can be seen from interstate 280. it went on the market in 2015 for the first time in 20 years. but its most recent listing price was 3.2 million and that's actually a million dollars less than the original asking price. where's the flintstone car? that's my question. [ laughter ] >> i want to know where's barney! [ laughter ] >> wilma!! >> you know, do you love the san jose giants? do you ever go to their games?

they're so fun. >> the minor league team? >> yeah, the farm team for our san francisco giants. this was one of the promotional giveaways, this beautiful long sock and i actually do love it, right? but i was doing my laundry other day and i only came up with one. >> happens all the time. >> you are always in search of the other sock. you never give up hope. this is national missing children's month and cbs is a very proud sponsor of trying to get that message out there that these children are always, always thought about. we are always in search of them and so what we like to you do is go on social media, perhaps even twitter, and go to hashtag rock one search. this is national missing children month and let's not give up the search. we have missing this morning the sunshine. nothing but cloudy skies from the coast to our inland areas.

the coolest afternoon and then we begin to rebound by sunday back into the 80s away from the bay. so the area of low pressure again is drawing down the cooler air mass all from the north. our winds will be picking up during the afternoon 10 to 20. i'm looking ahead towards the holiday. this huge ridge of high pressure is building and we'll have a warming trend. today cooling down you're going to feel the difference. away from the bay you can turn off the air-conditioners and throw open the windows and allow the cooler air in. we'll have clouds friday at night. today cloudy coast, partial bay clearing. we'll have sunshine peninsula and into our inland areas attempted 50s, 60s 70s. 74 degrees towards the delta. that's my outside number. look at these temperatures holding steady and flirting with 90 degrees by tuesday.
