WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Crews worked feverishly overnight to repair a 20-inch water main that burst early Saturday morning.

Crews had to drill down to the gushing pipe that took several hours to shutdown on 17th and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest.

When they peeled back the road they found the pipe with a 5-6 foot hole.

George Hawkins, DC Water General Manager, "we haven't had many problems on this road and we wouldn't have expected it. But there's a large excavation directly adjacent to it."
They're looking at what caused the century old pipe -- installed in 1897 -- to break. DC Water General Manager George Hawkins says they haven't ruled out anything including, the pipe's age and nearby construction work.

This is also the same site where a construction worker had to be rescued, a week and a half ago.

Rescue crews carefully lifted him up from where he fell near blasting cords 50 feet down.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9)--Sixteen year-old Leilani Tizon is a courageous teenager who talks candidly about an issue rarely discussed in public: suicide.

It's the 10^th leading cause of death for Americans, and it leaves shattered families in its wake.

"It sounds harsh but I've spent the last five years thinking that my brother doesn't love me. And that this is my fault," Leilani told us, from the living room of her suburban Washington home.

Growing up, Leilani and Christopher Tizon were inseparable.

"My brother and I were best friends. We were 6 ½ years apart," she said. "He was 18 when everything happened. I was 11."

Their father, Robert, was on a deployment to Saudi Arabia with the Air Force, when Christopher put a loaded gun to his left temple and pulled the trigger.

"He was very handsome," said Leilani, glancing over her shoulder at a large framed photo of her brother. She smiles.
