Preview to the LOVE STORY tomorrow!
This is longer so you may have to visit the blog to get the FULL Scoop! (Fictionally filmed November 29, for a special this week)
This is Teresa for 'In Your Neighborhood' for Channel 7 Eyewitness News. Not since the 1986 Al Capone's Vault Opening has there been a historical investigation of this scope in a Chicago neighborhood.
We are here with Sgt. Michelle from the Chicago Fire Department and Jeffrey from the Chicago Building Department.
Michelle, what are the first concerns in doing excavations or repairs on these old buildings?
Michelle: Safety of course. I'm here to test the air and make sure there are no vapors or gas present to cause a fire or explosion. So far, we are all clear.
Jeffrey: This has been an extensive project. Over two-hundred and seventy-five feet of tunnels have been opened and then filled in. The city has had to involve NiCor gas, water and sewer, Com-Ed, telephone companies, all before we could safely fill in the tunnels.
The replacement of services has been extensive to the neighborhood, and more repairs will completed in the coming weeks.
Teresa: You can see the construction crew is going low-tech on the wall removal. An outline of the damaged 'door area' has been carefully cut with hand-saws, and now a worker attempts to pull the wall down with a long pick ax.
Pulling, the team removes the rock materialsand reveals more of the door!
With the wall removed, Michelle enters to get air quality readings and finds.....she's not sure and sends in Detective Joe with his night goggles.
Detective Joe returns, "Stop filming!"
Russell: What a goat rope, I suppose we won't be able to continue with demo or construction?
Detective Joe: Nope, look at this way Russ, you don't have to tell your wife---you're the one who stopped construction on her business, I do. Now I have to call for a Forensic Team and the Coroner.
Teresa: Detective Joe, can we just get the lead-in for a later story?
Teresa: Roll! WE are here at the Northside tunnel demolition, which has now been declared a possible crime scene. Forensics and the Coroner have been called in by Detective Joe, Chicago PD from the Third Precinct. This is Teresa on the scene and more later for Eye Witness News.
