SEPTA Rail Car Defect Could Mean $625K in Lost Ad Revenue

0
0

SEPTA's governing body is looking to pay back $250,000 and possibly more to an advertising agency since ads haven’t been rolling on Regional Rail trains thanks to the Silverliner V rail car problems.

The SEPTA Board, which will vote next week on the giveback, could wind up paying back another $375,000 before all the train cars are back on track. SEPTA officials have said all the cars will be back in service by November.

SEPTA pulled the rail cars due to cracks in beams that found over the July 4 weekend. The car shortage immediately caused changed Regional Rail schedules and commuter scrambles.

In the process, the rail car debacle also caused problems for one of the transit agency's biggest contractors as the Silverliner V’s being sidelined made it impossible for SEPTA to fulfill its monthly arrangement with ad agency Intersection (formerly Titan). The deal allows Intersection to sell advertisements at SEPTA stations and on SEPTA vehicles, said SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch.

SEPTA and Intersection agreed to a nine-year advertising contract in April 2014 that guaranteed SEPTA a minimum of $150 million over that time, said Busch.

Without the fleet of 120 rail cars, SEPTA can’t deliver as many places to advertise.

SEPTA’s board is set to vote on a measure at their Thursday, Sept. 22, meeting that would pay Intersection $125,000 per month for July and August for the lost ad space. If approved, the agency would also lose $125,000 for each additional month the train cars remain sidelined.

"With the contract's full minimum annual guarantee reinstated at such time that 100-percent of the fleet is fully restored to revenue service," says the board measure.

The train cars aren’t expected to all be repaired and back on the tracks before mid-November.

The nine-year ad deal delivers around $1.34 million a month to SEPTA. With the agency set to give up $125,000 over five months, the agency now must find a way to get around losing around 9 percent of its monthly ad revenue.

The agency was still trying to figure out the total costs of the Silverliner V defects, said Busch.

Intersection’s Philadelphia office didn’t immediately return NBC10.com’s call and email for comment.

1st Lawsuit Filed in Horsham Water Contamination

0
0

A law firm associated with longtime consumer advocate Erin Brockovich has filed a water contamination lawsuit against a firefighting foam manufacturer and five other defendants in a case involving potentially hundreds of former and current residents of Montgomery and Bucks counties.

The suit filed Friday claims the foam used on military bases, including the shuttered Willow Grove Naval Air Station and current day Horsham Air Guard Station, led to contamination of surrounding water supplies for residents.

“For years, residents living near military bases in eastern Pennsylvania were unknowingly exposed to dangerous chemicals in their drinking water,” said Robin Greenwald, head of the Environmental and Consumer Protection Unit at Weitz & Luxenberg. “With this lawsuit, we are fighting to ensure that the companies who manufactured and marketed products containing these chemicals – and put their profits ahead of public health in the process – are brought to justice for their wrongdoing.” 

Concerns about the drinking water first went mainstream in May after the EPA issued new guidelines showing elevated levels of the cancer-causing chemicals PFOA or PFOS in Horsham, Warrington and Warminster.

U.S. Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Phila., at the time called for a congressional hearing into allegations of contaminated groundwater.

The defendants named in the lawsuit are: 3M; Angus Fire, The Ansul Company, Buckeye Fire Protection Company, Chemguard and National Foam.

The suit claims that the six defendants, as manufacturers of the firefighting foam, knew or should have known that the inclusion of PFOs and other similar chemicals in the foam would present a risk to human health and the environment. And yet, the suit alleges, none of the companies issued any warnings.

According to Weitz & Luxenberg, testing for PFOs conducted in 2014 and 2015 detected levels as high as 1,600 parts per trillion (PPT). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says an acceptable limit for PFOs in a water supply is 70 PPT or less.

“In Pennsylvania, big business once again disregarded public health in favor of boosting their bottom line,”  said Brockovich in a release Friday. “We need to send the message that these corporations cannot put profits ahead of people’s health; this lawsuit is intended to remedy that wrong.”

When Weitz & Luxenberg first started investigating claims of people who once lived or currently live in the area of the Willow Grove and Horsham military installations, some residents like Valeria Secrease took immediate solace in knowing a search for answers was finally under way.

“It feels like we won, just a small thing,” Secrease said earlier this summer.

Secrease helps run a private Facebook group of people who worked at Willow Grove Naval Air Station and want to know if their cancer or life-threatening ailments are connected to the water on the base.

The group has swelled to more than 1,600, many of whom have either suffered health issues themselves or lost a loved one. Secrease worked on the base for more than 25 years and has been living with malignant melanoma for the last two decades.

"There are nights I don’t sleep and it goes over and over in my mind about the people who have passed and the people who have suffered and the women who are still crying over losing their husbands,” Secrease told NBC10.com. “The joy I feel is not for myself, but for all the rest of the people who have been suffering. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll get some kind of closure.”

Weitz & Luxenberg has conducted similar investigations in New York, Vermont and New Hampshire. Recently, the firm filed a federal class action lawsuit against a plastics company for its role in PFOA water contamination in Hoosick Falls, NY.

"Communities across our country are realizing that the source of life – water – could in fact be making them seriously ill,” Brockovich said when Weitz & Luxenberg first began looking at the Willow Grove and Horsham case in June. "It is time to give this community a voice and make sure those responsible are held accountable for this issue.”

A dead young humpback whale was discovered washed up on the 20th Street beach in Sea Isle, Cape May County Friday afternoon.

Officials with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) said the whale had no apparent injuries, but that the whale looked somewhat emaciated.

Bob Schoelkopf, Founding Director of the MMSC, says the whale is approximately 33 feet long, weighing about 20 tons and has likely been dead for several days.

Heavy equipment and a crowd could be seen around the animal as SkyForce10 hovered over the beach Friday afternoon.

Officials said it would likely stay on the beach overnight until heavy equipment can be used to move the whale.

Officials said they would take samples from the whalte to determine how it died.

Are Cats Taking Over the First State?

0
0

Volunteers in the First State are hoping to put a halt to the fast growing cat population that is seemingly taking over and keeping animal shelters at max capacity.

Nearly 10,000 free-roaming cats have been reported in the New Castle, Newark and Bear Delaware area, and that number will continue to rise as the cats continue to have kittens according to feral feline experts.

One cat and her kittens can grow to a colony of more than 20 in under a year, which leaves animal shelters with a tough decision as people continue to surrender animals. Now, a local no-kill organization is looking to bring a solution for the growing population of cats across the state.

Forgotten Cats, who provide trap-neuter and spay-vaccinate-return services to stray, feral and outdoor cats, is offering its services at no cost to Delaware residents thanks to a $200,000 grant from PetSmart Charities.

So far, 2,700 cats have been sterilized and vaccinated through the grant, which leaves room for about 1,300 more through April of next year.

Residents in Norhtern Delaware can contact Forgotten Cats to have them safely trap, fix, and return the feral, stray or unconfined pet cats in their neighborhood. The organization is hoping the effort will raise awareness of these services around National Cat Day on October 29.

Folks can contact Forgotten Cats at 302-429-0124 to report a roaming cat.

Montco Creek Dries Up and Neighbors Looking for Answers

0

A small creek behind a golf course in Montgomery County dried up so quickly Thursday that fish got caught squirming for the vanished water as Jennica Nobre and her son came upon them.

"He was like, 'Mom, where's the water? Where are the fish?'" Nobre told NBC10. "And he immediately started crying."

One official with a local environmental group said the disappearance of a portion of Huntingdon Valley Creek near Philmont Country Club likely was caused by a variety of reasons, including the county's new drought designation by the National Weather Service.

Montgomery County was given a "moderate drought" designation Friday, according to the NWS.

David Robertson of the Pennypack Ecological Trust said the drought probably played a role in the creek drying up, but he said the nearby golf course's water usage may have compounded the water problem.

"It hasn't rained in a long time and it's been very hot," Robertson said. "The folks at the country club said because it has been so dry, they've had to irrigate their greens more than they normally have to."

Neighbors met with Philmont officials Friday and Nobre said the club agreed to shut off their irrigation pumps near the creek for a period of time to see if the creek returns.

So now, neighbors like Kerry Swierczynski have to wait.

"Somewhere in this area, my kids wouldn't be able to stand," she said Friday, pointing to a dry creek bed where the water usually is a few feet deep. "The kids were like looking around saying, 'Where'd it all go'?"

NJ Holds Highest Percentage of Millennials Living at Home

0

Education, the economy, employment and a slew of other factors are shaping the way young adults are living in the United States. New data from the Census Bureau shows these issues could also be changing where young adults call home.

New Jersey had the highest percentage of millennials, or those ages 18 to 34, living at home of any state in America last year, the Census Bureau said Thursday.

Some 46.9 percent of young adults in New Jersey reported they live with their parents—more than 12 points above the national average. Nationally, about 34 percent of 18-to-34 year-olds lived with mom and dad.

According to census data, of Pennsylvania’s almost 2.6 million millennials, 37 percent reported living with their parents in 2015. In Delaware, that number is 36 percent.

Parents in New Jersey are also feeling the crunch as median household income grew only 0.3% in 2015, which makes it the smallest year-to-year gain of any state. Nationally, the measure grew 3.8%

The Census released the data Thursday as part of the American Community Survey.

Emaciated Puppy Found in Cobbs Creek

An emaciated and a severely dehydrated puppy was found in Cobbs Creek Park on Friday, and officials say it's likely the pup was dumped there.

The puppy, who is likley 2 or 3 months old, was brought into the Providence Animal Shelter, where the staff named him Bennett, or "Benny" for short.

Officials there say Benny is "deathly ill", has zero body fat, and has a temperature too low for a thermometer to read. 

"He will be in critical condition for at least the next 3 days," Justina Calgiano of the shelter said in a release. 

Benny will be treated by an emergency technician overnight, and, if he survives, will need care for at least 3-4 weeks.

Cop Hacked With 11-Inch Cleaver in Midtown Leaves Hospital

0
0

The off-duty detective who was gashed from his temple to his jaw when he tackled a man fleeing police with an 11-inch cleaver in a chaotic attack near Penn Station at the height of Thursday's evening rush left the hospital Friday afternoon. 

A small army of NYPD officers and union representatives, along with the father of detective Brian O'Donnell, cheered on the 16-year veteran officer as he was wheeled out of the lobby of Bellevue Hospital. O'Donnell, who appeared to be wearing a cast on his left arm and had an apparent cut running down his face waved to cops and doctors as he exited the hospital.

His fellow officers clapped, hollered and cheered as the officer was loaded into a sedan to head home. An NYPD regiment of bagpipe players and drummers also played as he left the lobby. Surgeons had said O'Donnell would likely need reconstructive surgery to repair the 6-inch gash to his face. 

O'Donnell was walking to Penn Station shortly after 5 p.m. Thursday to catch a Long Island Rail Road train home after work when he saw the suspect, 32-year-old Akram Joudeh, running from police, the weapon in his hand, law enforcement officials told NBC 4 New York. He went to tackle the suspect. 

The two struggled, and Joudeh hit him in the head with the cleaver, leaving a large laceration, police officials said. 

Surveillance video obtained exclusively by NBC 4 New York showed the chaos on the street as officers sprinted after Joudeh, who ran through the packed street with the cleaver in his hand. 

Three uniformed NYPD officers fired a total of 18 gunshots at Joudeh, striking him several times. He was in stable condition at the hospital Friday. 

"Keep in mind he had just attacked an off-duty officer who has got a 6-inch gash on his face. He's got an 11-inch cleaver,"  NYPD Chief of Department and incoming police commissioner Jimmy O'Neill said. "They shot until the threat was stopped."  

Police initially confronted Joudeh near West 31st Street and Broadway as they caught him trying to remove a boot from his car, O'Neill said. 

Video obtained exclusively by NBC 4 New York shows a frustrated Joudeh trying to remove the boot, pulling tools from his packed car.

When police arrived, Joudeh pulled an 11-inch cleaver from his waistband and began running toward Sixth Avenue, officials said. Officers chased him, with others joining the pursuit along the way, and one uniformed sergeant deployed a stun gun to no effect.

The suspect continued running westbound on West 32nd Street toward Seventh Avenue, and in the middle of the block, mounted the front grill of a marked NYPD car, O'Neill said. Then he ran into O'Donnell. 

O'Donnell has spent most of his time on the force in the 19th Precinct, and became a detective in March 2015.

Two other officers were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries from the encounter, though it's not clear how they got hurt. 

Both Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, who is finishing his last week on the job, visited the officers at the hospital. Bratton said the wounded detective was in good spirits despite the "significant injury." 

The attack happened near the busy midtown commuter hub at the height of the evening rush hour. Bratton said the officers acted bravely in subduing the suspect in the crowded shopping and transit district, and that "sufficient shots" were fired to stop the "character running down the street waving a cleaver." 

Witness Steven Coyle, who recorded video of officers shooting at the suspect, agreed.

"He was a threat to the officers and anyone in the area," he said. 

Michael Palladino, president of the Detectives Endowment Association, said in a statement, "An incident like this proves that you are really never off duty. Our detective engaged the perpetrator because the suspect was carrying a meat cleaver and the detective was worried about the crowded conditions on the street given that it was rush hour full of residents, tourists and commuters."

Joudeh has 15 prior arrests, including one on July 27 after he was found carrying knives near a synagogue in the Manhattan Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn. His last known address was in Queens, though police say he may have been living in his car.  

The other arrests stretching back to 2009 include charges for driving while impaired by drugs, criminal possession of a weapon, menacing with a weapon and criminal trespassing, sources said. 

The attack drew comparisons to an ambush two years ago, when a hatchet-wielding man attacked a group of NYPD officers in Jamaica, Queens, gashing a rookie cop in the head with the 18-inch ax. Two other officers shot and killed the suspect, Zale Thompson, on the street. 

Thompson was a self-radicalized "lone wolf terrorist," police officials said after the attack. 

A federal official told NBC News it doesn't appear Joudeh had terroristic motivations.

"Based on what we know of how this started, and on his priors, we don't currently think this was an act of terrorism," the officials said. 

Another law enforcement source told NBC 4 New York that investigators actively looked into whether Joudeh had any interest in or connection to terror planning after he was caught outside the synagogue in July with the knives. But they did not find any evidence of any radicalization. 

Joudeh's former neighbors in Elmhurst described him as troubled, constantly fighting with his two roommates and sometimes getting visits from police. One woman who asked not to be identified said he once got into an altercation with a family member, and during the fight, broke the front glass door of the building's entrance.

Tracking Pa. Senate Campaign Donations

0
0

The NBC10 Investigators discovered that both candidates for Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate seat have raised more money from out-of-state donors than from donors in the state they’re campaigning to represent. 

Poll averages show incumbent Republican Pat Toomey and Democratic nominee Katie McGinty separated by less than half a point. 

Robin Kolodny, chair of Temple University’s political science department, says the out-of-state donors in this competitive race are mostly interested in larger, national issues. [[393457831, C]]

Both McGinty and Toomey received the most out-of-state money from the so-called “ATM state” of New York – where the campaigns collected more than half-a-million dollars each, as of the last filing deadline at the end of June. New York is followed by California – where McGinty received nearly 800 donations and Toomey received nearly 900. 

But that’s where the candidates’ donation “hot spots” diverge. 

McGinty received significant funding from Massachusetts and Washington, D.C. That includes maximum donations from Barbara Lee, an expert on women in politics, and from Elizabeth Bagley, a senior advisor in the State Department and a former ambassador. [[393458921, C]]

Toomey pulled in significant amounts from Florida, Texas, and Illinois – including maximum donations from Miami’s Norman Brayman, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, and from billionaire Chicago investor Sam Zell. 

All told, more than 11,000 individual donors outside of Pennsylvania have poured more than $7M into this race. 

None of the individual donors mentioned in our story replied to our request for comment about their contribution.[[393472671, C]]

Rampaging Gunman Carried Note Titled 'Doomed People"

0
0

The lone gunman in a shooting that killed a woman and injured five people, including two police officers, wrote a rambling note, described as a "bunch of rantings" in the first person, officials said. The words he wrote on the envelope were "Doomed People."

"Which apparently was meant for anyone he came across," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said Saturday afternoon, about 15 hours after the now-dead suspect Nicholas Glenn shot his way across four blocks of Sansom Street late Friday. "Other than the rantings he had in that letter, we don't know what he was motivated by. Unfortunately, we may never know."

Glenn's rampage left two police officers badly wounded, a young woman sitting in a car outside her home dead and three other bystanders wounded by gunfire.

Glenn, 25, allegedly mentioned his parole officer in the letter that police found after shooting him dead in an alley near 48th and Sansom streets. Ross said he has no apparent ties to any larger organization.

His rampage started about 11:20 p.m. Friday when he walked up to Sgt. Sylvia Young's marked police cruiser on 52nd and Sansom streets. Young, who is assigned to the 22nd District, was working a patrol detail in the 18th District. As she sat inside her vehicle, Glenn, who police say was armed with a 9mm handgun, allegedly opened fire at the driver's side.

Young, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, was struck eight times in the left shoulder, arm and torso.

"Help me, please!" Young yelled on police radio moments after the shooting.

Ross said it's a miracle the 19-year veteran wasn't killed, considering Glenn fired 18 rounds before he started his chaotic, seemingly random shooting spree east on Sansom Street. Following the shooting, Young was taken to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital where she is currently in stable condition.

As Glenn fled, he passed the Maximum Level Lounge on 5118 Sansom Street where a 42-year-old manager and a 41-year-old barmaid were in the open doorway attending to a wheelchair bound patron, police said. Glenn then fired approximately five rounds into the doorway, striking the 42-year-old man in both legs and the 41-year-old woman in the right ankle. The two victims were both taken to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital where they are listed in stable condition.

Glenn then continued running eastbound on Sansom Street and approached a 2011 Nissan Altima with a 36-year-old man and his 25-year-old girlfriend inside. Police say Glenn opened fire, striking the man in his arm and chest and the woman several times in her chest. Both victims were taken to Penn-Presbyterian Hospital. The 36-year-old man is in critical condition while the woman died from her injuries. NBC10 has learned her identity through police sources, but is waiting until police officially provide her name. She was a West Philadelphia resident.

Glenn then continued eastbound on Sansom Street and was pursued by two responding 16th District officers in a marked police Ford Explorer, officials said. Glenn opened fire on the officers, striking their vehicle on the hood and driver's side door, according to police. The officers were not injured during the shooting.

Glenn continued running from police and was confronted on the 100 block of S. 48th Street by University of Pennsylvania Police officer Edward Miller, police said. Glenn opened fire and struck Officer Miller in the hip and leg area. The officer was taken to Penn-Presbyterian where he is in stable condition.

Glenn then continued exchanging gunfire with the responding Philadelphia Police officers. Glenn was struck several times during the shootout and finally died from his wounds at 11:45 p.m., officials said.

Police say Glenn was in possession of a note with the headline, "Doomed People." They also said the note included rambling, unclear statements that indicated Glenn's hatred toward his probation/parole officers as well as police.

Police recovered Glenn's weapon, a Ruger Model SR9, 9mm semi-automatic pistol with obliterated serial numbers. Officials say the gun was loaded with 14 live 9mm rounds. There were also three empty magazines throughout the scene that Glenn had discarded as he emptied the magazines and reloaded with spare magazines, police said. In all, Glenn discharged his gun at least 51 times during the incident, according to investigators.

Sergeant Young and Officer Miller were both awake and talking with relatives after being hospitalized, Mayor Jim Kenney said.

"[Miller] actually was cracking jokes with his kids and wife. The other officer [Young] was talking with her family," Kenney said. "We’re very blessed that that’s the way it turned out. But we have to keep in our prayers the civilians."

Penn Safety Director Maureen Rush said Miller served 33 years on the Philadelphia police department, retiring as a sergeant, before joining the Penn PD.

Ross, who termed the shooter's note a "bunch of rantings," said officers would patrol in pairs following the incident.

Kenney asked that everyone pray for the injured officers and civilians. 

"All in all it was a really terrible, scary night," he said.
