The super soaker event brings the potential for flooding on streets and places with poor drainage.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we begin with the Super Tuesday showdown, which could set the stage for a rematch in the race for the White House between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.

The Super Tuesday primaries are the largest voting day of the year in the United States aside from the November general election. Voters in 15 states and one territory will choose presidential nominees.  

For former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, this is likely her last chance to slowdown Trump's march to the GOP nomination. ABC's Perry Russom joins us from Washington, D.C. with more.

Meanwhile, one city in New Jersey can tout a major accomplishment. Hoboken marked seven years in a row without a single traffic death.

Officials say the milestone came after the city installed delineators and bollards near crosswalks to reduce illegally parking. That also improved visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. Hoboken's safety ideas have spread across the country.

Joining us with more is Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we begin with a heartwarming update to what began as a horrific attack in the subway.

MTA conductor Alton Scott was slashed when he stuck his head out of a subway train in Brooklyn last Thursday.

He needed 34 stitches and could have bled to death if a doctor did not act quickly. While police are still looking for the attacker, the conductor and the doctor reunited on Monday.

Eyewitness News reporter NJ Burkett was there for the emotional meeting.

Meanwhile, the first over-the-counter birth control pill approved in the U.S. will be available this month.

The pill, called Opill, will be available online in the next few days, then it will hit pharmacy shelves in the weeks to come.

Opill will be sold for $20 for a one-month supply or $50 for a three-month supply. The pill is 98% effective at preventing pregnancy, which is in line with the effectiveness of most birth control pills. 

Joining us with more is Dr. Laura MacIsaac, Associate Director of Complex Family Planning Fellowship Program at Mount Sinai.

In this episode, we begin with the grisly discoveries of body parts discovered near a park on Long Island. The search in Babylon that began on Thursday morning is now leading to more grisly discoveries.

Police now say they have found more body parts scattered – and they say they belong to two people – a man and a woman. As they try to identify the victims, they are still searching for the rest of their bodies. The remains were found near Southards Pond Park – which is also near schools – which is why the bodies were found by students.

Eyewitness News reporter CeFaan Kim has the report from Babylon.

We also discuss the fast public comment process for the controversial congestion pricing plan – now half over, it ends Monday night.

On Friday, some New York City firefighters pointed out some big problems for charging them for driving south of 60th Street in Manhattan – some life threatening problems. The MTA agrees that it could be a problem.

Eyewitness News reporter NJ Burkett has the story from Lower Manhattan.

In the meantime, a toll hike went into effect Friday on the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway. The average increase is three percent – that comes out to about 15 cents on the Turnpike and 5 cents on the Parkway. Commuters say all those cents really add up.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we begin with New York City urging residents to report illegal housing conditions.

It comes after dozens of migrants were found living in cramped and dangerous conditions at two locations, one store in Queens on Tuesday and another in the Bronx on Wednesday.

As Eyewitness News reporter Anthony Carlo shows us, both stores have the same landlord. 

Meanwhile, a Texas two-step of sorts occurred Thursday as both President Biden and Donald Trump traveled to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Immigration, of course, is a key issue in the 2024 presidential race.

The dueling border visits comes as the White House considers new restrictions on border asylum claims, and the former president returns to a theme that helped propel his campaign eight years ago.

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we detail a major decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to take up former President Donald Trump's sweeping claim of immunity.

The decision will not only impact future federal criminal cases but also the presidential election. The trump strategy has been to try to delay the criminal cases against him, and for perhaps the biggest case, the Supreme Court decision Wednesday could cause quite a delay.

We break down the implications of the case.

Meanwhile, a bombshell on Capitol Hill: Mitch McConnell, the longest-serving Senate leader in history, will step down. The question now is who will fill the vacuum in a toxic political town?

In this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we begin with the double verdict in the high-profile murder of Jam Master Jay.

A Brooklyn jury on Tuesday convicted two men, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, who were found guilty of killing the pioneer DJ over what prosecutors described as revenge for a failed drug deal. The rap legend was killed in a brazen shooting in his studio in 2002.

Eyewitness News reporter N.J. Burkett was in the courtroom for the verdict.

Meanwhile, one of the nation's biggest fast-food chains is cooking up a major change in how it prices its menu. Wendy's is introducing "surge pricing" to its restaurants.

Now the cost of your burger would change depending on the time of day. Fast food prices are already surging because of inflation, up nearly 6% since last year. The plan, understandably, has come with a side of controversy.

Professor Giacomo Santangelo, Senior Lecturer of Economics at Fordham University, joins the show with more.

In this edition of Extra Time, we have details on a high-stakes Supreme Court hearing on social media content, the $1 billion donation that will provide free tuition at a medical school in the Bronx and a young teen who has become one of the youngest African American-licensed pilots.

The U.S. Supreme Court wrestled with state laws that could affect how Facebook, TikTok, X, YouTube and other social media platforms regulate content posted by their users.

Texas and Florida both passed laws that forbid social media companies from blocking or removing user content that goes against platform rules.

ABC's Ike Ejiochi is in Washington with a look at the arguments, and how the court's decision could impact the future of the internet.

Meanwhile, a record-setting gift will ensure students at a medical school in the Bronx will no longer have to pay tuition.

A long-time professor donated $1 billion to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, removing a major financial hurdle to becoming a physician in a historically underserved borough. The endowment by 93-year-old Dr. Ruth Gottesman will change lives for decades to come.

And as we continue to celebrate Black History Month, we introduce you to a young teen whose future is soaring.

At 17 years old, the young girl from Staten Island may be the youngest African American-licensed pilot in the U.S.

In this edition of ‘Eyewitness News Extra Time’ we are following breaking news in Harlem, where one person was killed and 17 others were injured in an apartment building fire. The FDNY rescued some of the victims using a daring rope technique.

The fire started on the third floor of the building on Friday afternoon with dense, black smoke making it unbearable for the people living there. Eyewitnesses say people were hanging out of the windows to try to get away from the smoke and flames.

Eyewitness News reporter Anthony Carlo joins us from Harlem with the story.

We then discuss the murderous violence Friday morning on the D train in the Bronx. NYPD officers say it started as an argument and ended in the death of a 45-year-old man. So how many cameras are there in the subway system and would more of them help reduce crime? Eyewitness News reporter Lindsay Tuchman has the story.

Plus, a big idea caught our attention for our ‘Be Kind’ campaign – Piscataway High School in New Jersey is holding a special fundraiser on Saturday. Art students and staff have been working to creat beautiful ceramic mugs that can be purchased for $10 and then filled with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. There will also be other items for sale, including baked goods and artwork.

All proceeds will benefit Feeding Middlesex County, which supports more than 150 food pantries in the country.

Piscataway High School art teacher Mary Wartenburg – who organized the event – and her student, senior Lam Duong join Eyewitness News Extra Time to discuss.
