this is kpix5 news on kbcw. >> alarm before an earthquake hit. an early warning system for california is just a signature away. good evening, i'm elizabeth cooke. >> a few seconds can make all the difference. and joe vasquez tells us we could get a head's up before the next big one. >> millions of people in japan got a 15 second advanced notice, which saved countless lives. >> now, a bill is on the california governor's desk, which would green light an early earthquake system here. >> we hope the governor will sign it. >> dr. richard allen has already been working with usgs on building the beginnings of an early warning system. >> for example, get the early warning and bart stops the trains when there's an

earthquake already. moderate shaking expected in 22 seconds. >> dr. allen says a massive expansion of the system could give millions of californians notice that an earthquake is on the way. once it's up and running, many will get the warning on an app on their cell phone that might tell them where the epicenter is and how many seconds they have to prepare. dr. allen says the amount of warning time you get depends how far you are from the source of the earthquake. for example, if we have the great earthquake of 1906 again, since san francisco was so close, the city might get a second or two warning. not much time to react. >> but san jose would get 10 or 20 seconds. oakland might get 10 seconds of warning. >> that is plenty of time to duck under a table, turn off gas lines, will the governor sign the bill? >> i couldn't get you the answer, because i don't know what it is. if we can get an early warning signal, i'm all for it. we can figure out time to get

out of the way, but anybody has a credible scientific notification system, i will be excited about it. >> he has until october 13 to make a final decision. joe vasquez, kpix5. >> legislators approve the $80 million warning system with one catch. no state general fund dollars can be used. state emergency managers have until 2016 to come up with a public, private partnership. >> bart has given the unions a new reason to settle the contract talks, but the unions aren't going to like it. the new backup plan to keep the trains running in the event of another strike. >> both sides are so far apart in their negotiations that bart's management believes there's a big likelihood workers will go on strike october 11. >> and that it's not just the matter of bart running on october 11, but that strike could last for multiple weeks, if not longer.

>> management is considering training managers to run skeletal bart service during the strike. bart has about 200 managers. some were former train operators. >> it would be a lifeline service for people who had no other alternatives in the event of a strike. >> the problem is, it takes 16 weeks to take someone from classroom to hands on train operation. the hands on training can only begin once the strike is underway. according to the contract torque bart won't say whether the classroom training is already happening. >> safety is what we are all about. safety always has been and always will be our number one priority. >> but the union says bart is playing with people's lives and that the managers don't have the proper experience to operate a train. >> how trains run by people who are not certified is not only a danger and a safety hazard, it's irresponsible. >> it doesn't just take train

operators, it takes support staff and mechanics that they have yet to think about. >> management is missing the point. >> instead of trying to prepare, they should be sitting at the table with a bargaining to get a contract. >> bart officials say they are not throwing in the towel. instead they have to have backup plans. the final say on this plan. in oakland, kpix5. >> when it comes to bart, there is progress here. this is work being done. the bart extension to san jose. looking at the expressway. crews will have to close lanes in both directions this weekend. so traffic could back up. the work will be wrapped up by monday at 5:00 a.m. >> illegal immigrants will soon be able to get a california driver's license. the legislature approved that plan today and all it needs is the governor to sign it. he already said he will. >> california's department of

motor vehicles estimates nearly 1 1/2 million illegal immigrants would apply for the new license. sanchez is one of them. >> i hope to drive to and i don't have a license. i need a car. >> the new license she will be eligible for permits her to drive, but cannot be used to get work or public benefits. it will also feature a special mark to indicate it's for driving only. supporters of the law say roads will be safer because illegal immigrants will have to pass driver's tests and be properly insured. opponents argue the license offers a privilege to people who have already broken the law. >> illegal aliens bring a lot of problems to our state. >> with the california coalition for immigration reform, a group that lobbied against the licenses. >> we should not be giving them anything. we should not be giving them any hope. we are americans. we are -- we follow the laws. >> california joins ten other

states that already offered driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. >> once the governor signs the bill into law, the dmv will have until january 31, 2015, to implement the new rules and begin issuing those new licenses. >> it was a dramatic scene high above san francisco's financial district. this 2,000 pound window washing rig was hanging by a cable off the side. 41 stories up. the platform rig slipped just before window washers were about to get in around 7:00 a.m., and police and firefighters scrambled to block off the intersection. >> i talked to the engineer and i asked, is this thing in danger of falling? i knew we better get up there. >> three floors were evacuated. it took 2 1/2 hours for authorities to hoist the platform back up. cal is now investigating what

horse tied to the fence, that is what used to be his pasture. google's founders have been flying around on discounted fuel that you paid for. why billionaires have been getting a government discount. >> apparently google keeps a float of jets here. the wall street journey says the gas give away is over. why are billionaires getting breaks and why is the government giving it to them? >> whether it's jet fuel or car fuel, people don't like other people getting deals they don't get, especially billionaires. >> me personally, i think that is absurd. >> just trying to save money. they're smart about it, that's their luck. >> we dug up the paperwork that spells out between nasa and a quiet company. sparking debate to this gas

station near headquashers. >> the taxes i pay to buy their fuel. >> the wall street journal report frs -- since 2009 at an average $3.19 a gallon. a buck less than regular priced jet fuel and the fuel you and i put in our cars. >> they are doing all that, they could afford, why get it on a discount? >> google jets flew to places like ohio, tay hity. that's what the story really seems to show, it pays to be rich. >> i guess it doesn't matter. money talks in this world. >> what did nasa get out of the deal? scientific flights looking into greenhouse gases and they brought in $1.3 million a year to let google park its planes here. >> all right, brian, thank you. >> speaking of google, a
