allegations of sex trafficking and they are i have already rated two of his homes we have not heard from him or his representatives at this point in time, but right now, there have been no charges filed and we will have to wait and see how this goes forward. but it is never a good thing to have the homeland security department investigators rating two of your homes and taking out items from their jamila lama, you thank you so much for just giving us a look at who he is, his place in our culture. and what is happening with him right now. appreciate you i knew our cnn news starts right now >> cnn breaking news >> and the breaking news and just a few minutes, we were expecting an update from the maryland department of transportation on the bridge collapsed in baltimore. the entire francis scott key bridge is in the potassium sco river. you can see the footage right there, just stunning imagery right now of this large

container ship that slammed into a pylon supporting the bridge overnight, at least seven people are believed to be in the war water there are search and rescue operations underway. there. war to people who were rescued soon after the collapse. one is fine, one is in serious conditions among the missing are said to be members of a construction crew that was doing concrete repair work on the surface of the bridge itself when the cargo ship struck, we just got some new footage in of the damage to the ship itself. you can see the whole just crashed in their of the vessel. this is the bridge. you can see the steel trust bridge, some of the substance there that in the water. this is the newest footage we've seen in the closest images we've seen of the situation there. we have been told that no one on board the ship was injured we have seen his gabe cohen and pete muntean both on

the scene. pete, let's start with you. sorry, game. i should say. let's start with you. what are you seeing gay? >> well, john, this search and rescue operation is still very much playing out in front of our eyes. take a look down the river from where we're standing. we're going to push in on that cargo on the container ship and you can see those massive pieces of steel, the chunks of the key bridge that are now laying in the water. one of them laying across the deck of that huge ship and are rounded or several upwards of a dozen, i've counted search and rescue boats. they have divers in the water. they are trying to find people that they've new sonar to figure out that there are cars, vehicles in the water, and as you mentioned, they think there could be at least seven people in the water as well here in the river. and so those crews are very much still trying to find them, even though things grow more bleak and dire by the minute out

here, several hours after this all began, if we pan to the left, you can see emergency vehicles that are parked along the river that are also assisting in this rescue. and you can clearly see where the bridge collapsed. the part of the brigs that is still standing and then suddenly it's gone and it is a huge section, john, of the bridge that's missing, that is collapsed into the river. and so that tells you that crews are really having to search out a vast area. they are using every technology that they can, including that sonar. but it is not going to be an easy operation and take a listen to what one official said a little bit earlier about this search and rescue in the conditions are difficult, right? we're talking about a deep channel port. it's 40, 50 feet of water, strong currents, the weather is wendy, the water is cold, and so we certainly worry about those who are in the water, not to mention the fall from the bridge. for folks who we know, we know that there were the visual is working on

the bridge >> and john there you can see helicopter as well. we've seen a coast guard helicopter flying around. it is a lot of agencies who are assisting right now just hoping that there are still survivors out there to be rescued. >> all right. gabe cohen for us on the scene. obviously, the francis scott key bridge a major roadway, 31,000 vehicles a day pass over the span of 695. the outer belt >> in >> baltimore. pete muntean talk to us about how this investigation will be conducted. >> we're probably going to hear some more new information here and a little bit, john, we're standing by for maryland governor wes moore to address the cameras here on the dundalk side of the bridges and the east side of the potassium sco river. you can see essentially the bridge to nowhere behind me now that is the normal portion of the bridge up to the suspension portion? russian that collapsed into the attempts go river there to give

you an idea of where we are. this is the mouth of the river that goes into baltimore's inner harbor and curtis bay. this is right essentially in the center of the channel there, as you heard, about 50 feet deep on the either side of that bridge, about 20 feet deep. >> a >> lot of big questions that investigators will ask here about the collision and and why this container ship flagged out of singapore, apparently lost control and went into one of the pilings of the key bridge here, completed in about 1977. so it is getting on the aging side of a bridge. the big question they will want to know is why the bridge one, this collision happened, folded so easily, but then also why this boat essentially want out of role. the by maryland law, a pilot needs to be on board the boat with local knowledge of the channel and the harbor itself, going into the port of baltimore here one of the busiest ports on the east coast. you can see the container ship still under attempts go river off in the distance there i filled up high with containers. this was going

to srilanka, the timeline here is really interesting and we've been able to interpellate a few different things not only from maritime tracking data, but also from the surveillance video of this bridge collapse and the moments leading up to it at 01:25 in the morning, we know that there was a puff of smoke that apparently came from this container ship at 01:26. the lights on the ship itself flickered. and then at 01:27, the lights flickered again, followed by the collision only about 60 seconds after. so there are some big questions here about the reported power failure on board the boat and what the implications on board that ship and the power failure we're was the pilot or were the crew able to control the boat? and what did they lose what were they able to still a control or did they completely lose the impetus of control of this boat as it was careening toward that piling into potential go river here, some really big questions and some really big questions about who will investigate this. the

national transportation safety board tells me that they're gathering early information, right now in conjunction and in tandem with the coast guard, likely that they will launch an investigation here because there are so many things that they want to know about what led to the collision with that bridge that ultimately collapse really an incredible seeing here. >> yeah, they're going to have two pieces together. pete muntean or thanks to gabe cohen as well. and just to reiterate what pete was saying there, this is the moment before the bridge was struck by the vessel obviously, the cargo ship should not have been there. this is where it should have been right there in the center of the span that is the deepwater channel. why wasn't it there? why was. it all the way over here that will be the subject of the investigation, sarah. >> and that is a question that i'd like to now ask cnn transportation analyst and former inspector general at the department of transportation mary schiavo, what could it have been? when you look at the scenario, we don't have all the facts, we don't have all the details, but we have a few things like the lights were flickering on this cargo ship

before it hit this pylon, it was sort of moving to one side. it should have been in more in the middle. when you look at this, what are you thinking could have occurred here? >> well, when i look at it and also with the great information peep just gave us. i mean, those are really important clues. it says to me that indeed there was something on this ship that caused steering problem because river pilots are highly trained individuals. they know the channels. there's an old saying, safe passage requires local knowledge. in the maritime industry and they had that they had that on board. you don't get out of the channel when you're doing a maritime passage because you could run a ground, not just you could hit get something had a bridge, but the pilot the pilot on that ship would have known this would have been very experienced. you have a lot or any of a background check. so that was a really important piece of information. the fact that it was out of the channel

for a couple of minutes before the hit is also important. along with the lights so it does sound like the ship had some sort of a problem and a ship that large and that heavy would be very difficult without the steering and you most likely they lost the thrusters, the underwater they call them bow thrusters. and they can move the ships sideways as well. so if they lost the steering capability but they might've lost those as well. they could not avoid something. so that was a lot of really useful information that we just got and i think that the ntsb, as pete said, will be the lead agency, but the coast guard works very well and as does the maritime administration, they will be working with them too. >> yeah. and we should update you on some of the new details that we've gotten the last few minutes, which is that the port authority saying that back in 2016 this is when this particular ship is reported to have an incident. so that's

been a while. and that the crew on the ship that no one was injured we now know that from the company itself, there was concern about the crew being on the deck there where you see the bridge collapsed and strangling it. if you will, after it hit that pylon. so everyone on the ship. okay. at this hour, i want to switch two now, the search and rescue that is the urgent thing ongoing now, we have we are now more than eight hours after this collapse. the water is frigid, but we are hearing that divers have been able to get in the water from local officials what does this look like when you look at the expanse of, of area and the depths of the water about, i think they said about 50 feet to try and get to, for example, someone who might be submerged in a car or get to someone who may have survived this somehow that's right and add to that the current sam i'm the tides going in and

out. a very strong currents. it's not like searching in an a lake or other kinds of bodies of water. and so they won't have a lot of visibility earlier, they said that they were aided by sonar to help find the vehicles that were submerged for the person's they've already rescued it. it sounds as though obviously they could make it to the surface or they were on the surface. but for underwater, the visibility is going to be getting bad as for the very cold hypothermia sets in. so they're going to have they're going to have a problem locating and then freeing people. but there are cases where a submerged vehicle does have air pockets, so they are going to be searching very earnestly and frantically because it is possible for people to divide if hypothermia does not get them first. so they're doing all that they can, but visibility is going to be real tough. >> yeah. i think we're still looking at live pictures of from above. if we can bring

that up. i do also want to just sort of bring up a picture of when the collapse happened. and what so these are live pictures now at 09:12 this morning, looking down on that ship, you're noticing that there are there's an awesome cloud cover coming in at this time where that aircraft is. but there are other aircraft in the area. now, you're seeing that awful picture of the collapse the ship mary, what are investigators asking themselves? what questions do they need to be considering as they are going through this inch by inch, trying to figure out how all of this happened. >> well, as the things we've already talked about with the ship and the pilot and what went wrong in the ship. i mean that right now, that is the number one person who can provide information, but they're also is likely cameras on board the ship. many modern ships have camera surveillance footage that shows the bow of the ship. is there you know

transversed the waters and any other video from the area, but they're also going to turn their attention to this bridge and 1977 bridge standards have changed. and one of the most important things we can see from the video are that the stays, the attachments of the bridge to the support pillars did not fail. justice and the place where it was hit. but at other places did not seem to be robust enough to withstand the jarring, the vibration, et cetera. of course, this is a huge shift that hit it. and then also what, what protections were in front of the bridge to keep this from being hit? we're there cement pilings and things like that and they'll be looking at that as well >> those are really, really good questions. only you would know to ask as you're looking into an investigation like this, i do just sort of what i mentioned, just how big this says this, this is a one-point six smile bridge going over the river. there. so it's a huge expanse and the haft of that

cargo ship, it's not easy to maneuver or you just going very slowly, but 100 tons tom, former reporting is likely how heavy that ship is as it tried to maneuver its way around that pylon, didn't happen in here we are looking at this absolute destruction of this major thoroughfare. there in baltimore. kathy sky, i've us. thank you so much this morning for just giving us such great detail about what investigators are dealing with and what they're dealing with. they tried to search and find anyone who has survived with me now is catholic schlager, she's the republican member of the miracle maryland state house of delegates. her district covers baltimore county, first, let me say to you that i am very sorry to see what is happening in baltimore and the suffering that families have to be going through at this hour because now we are eight hours or so in

families have not heard from their loved ones wondering what is going on so far we've heard up to seven people or more are missing at this hour. and there are going on now, can you give us any update? what are you hearing any identities or if there are more people that you're hearing may be missing at the sour well, thank you for covering this. and your prayers and thoughts for those who are missing it is just a tragedy of epic proportions to lose a bridge like this. and the loss of life, which we hopefully will not see, but we, know there are some folks that are still missing. maryland's port is the largest four specialized cargo on the east coast with specialized roll-on roll-off cargo were one of four deepwater ports that can handle the larger pan umax shifts we

have a cruise terminal. >> so >> you know, getting through this is going to be really hard. we have a state of emergency, all hands on deck, federal, state, local partners you know, everybody working together, right now to look for and hopefully save any of those that are in the water >> i'm curious if you've been able to see some of these images that we're looking at right now from the baltimore city fire rescue, one they are showing chest the close view of how bad this was everything mangled. you see the bridge just submerged into the water and you see the power of all this as it fell in the ground. what are your thoughts on what you are seeing when you look at the view from the sky, when you look at the view of the collapse how did this affect you this morning >> yes it it's just so surreal

to watch the video of this landmark bridge, major thoroughfare of transportation collapsed we understand there were some people working on the bridge last night at 01:30 when the bridge was struck we fortunately, no, that one person actually walked away from this on armed someone. is that shock trout trauma are world-class trauma center here in baltimore city but you know, it's just it's like a movie. >> i mean >> you just can't imagine this bridge that i drive a clause across regularly. my seat mate the other delegate that represents my district with me drives across it every day this is a major thoroughfare to get from one side of the tapscott the river to the other. you either have to go through one of two tunnels are across this bridge. so it is not just a landmark, but the gateway to our port. and a major

thoroughfare it's just heart-wrenching to see this bridge collapse and the fear of light that might be lost yeah. can you give us some sense of any idea how you will go forward this morning has a search and rescue obviously the biggest priority, but how you will go forward, what commuters needs to know, how long this may take, what this is doing, for example, to the port. i mean this, this has to do a lot with the economy of baltimore for as well and everything is stopped at this hour, correct >> right. we again, we have one of the largest specialized port here in the us, right here in baltimore. so that's the port is shut down. everything has stopped. we have a cruise ship terminal that we have crews ships come in generally on the weekends so that's all affected the traffic today. i've spoken with brands that usually commute over the key bridge to go to work, scrapping

through the tunnels are at a standstill clearly, the waterways are closed. i will also say that every ship that navigates through underneath that bridge into the port of baltimore is driven by a bay pilots. they are a chesapeake bay pilot, highly trained, very skilled, a really the best of the best so i feel confident that the people that were on that ship navigating through the ship where we're the best you know, it's certainly at this point, no one wants to speculate, but the video that we've seen showing power outages seems to point to a failure of equipment. but are bay pilots not it's not just anyone that can navigate a ship up the chesapeake bay and to the pulse poured a baltimore is a very skilled and specialized trade there's bay pilots as we heard know the lay of the land,

they this is their specialty. they know what they are doing something just went terribly wrong at 01:30 or so in the morning, catholic >> thank you. thank you. thank you so much for taking the time. i know you are busy. i know you. we're watching all the developments if you hear anything new that we think we need to know, please do. we will stay in contact with you appreciate it >> i will reach back out and please continue to share your thoughts and prayers for those that were looking for. and our wonderful first responders that have been there since about 01:30 this morning, reacting and responding finding and trying to save as many lives as possible >> absolutely. thank you, ma'am. >> next hour, the battle over the >> abortion pill heads to the supreme court. it's the first major case on abortion since the court overturned roe versus wade plus a rare joint campaign appearance, president biden and vice president harris on the campaign trail together. and

freer, most brilliant smile preska, as you covered nice smile, crest, 3d white, 100% more stain removal, crest i'm caitlin, poland's in washington and this is cnn >> all right. happening now, there are protesters outside the supreme court in advance of hearings which begin very shortly. oral arguments on one of the most important abortion cases in years, probably the most important since the court overturned her in roe versus wade. this is a case that could limit access to a widely used abortion drug mifepristone. it could limit use even in states where abortion is still legal. last year, mifepristone was used as 63% of all abortions in the united states so get a chief legal affairs correspond to paula reid is with us this morning these are arguing, people watching very closely follow

>> absolutely. as you said, this is the biggest abortion related case before the high court since it overturned roe v. wade at two years here's a but here they focused on mifepristone, a drug used in a process called medication abortion, which john lot of people don't realize accounts for the majority of abortions in the us, two-thirds of them in fact. now, today's case began shortly after roe was overturned, a group of anti-abortion doctors and advocates sue the fda over its approval of mifepristone drug was approved back in 2000. but as the case has gone on, they have instead started to focus on additional approvals. the fda granted that expanded access both in 2,016.20, 21, that allowed mifepristone to be available through telemedicine appointment and then be mailed to an individual. now the fda, it says they follow the appropriate procedures when they made these approvals. and they emphasize that this is one of the most studied drugs in the country, and that it has a demonstrated record of safety in a short time, the justices

will hear arguments from both sides, but so much at stake here, john, not just for people seeking access to this drug, but also for the fda and other medications that it has approved. >> what will you be listening for here? paula, as the sides make their arguments, whether it is a belt, the issue of medicaid and abortion in general, or about issues of things like standing which so often come into play. >> a look at you, you supreme court nerd my follow, my fellow legal nerd. that's exactly exactly what we're looking forward because there's this issue of standing right. does this group that sued, do they have the authority to file this lawsuit? there has been a lot of scrutiny about the extent to which these folks work directly related to this drug there's certainly haven't personally been harmed. so the justices may look for this off-ramp to just say, look, we're not even going to get into the fda's approval of this. instead, we're going to say this group doesn't have the authority to bring this case. that's one off-ramp that some legal experts are sort of surprised

that this case has made it this far, but i'm definitely looking for any indication that there's a majority of justices willing to decide this on standing because we expect this decision to come in late june where all the big decisions come, but that's also john, as you know, the heart of campaign season depending which way this case goes. i'm and this is something that could galvanize voters on either side, depending on how it turns out >> paula reid at the court, i think what you meant to say was looking at the big brain on brad when you were talking to me, they're appreciated. appreciated very much sarah >> john berman. oh, we make you laugh no matter what the subject. all right, joining us now, colorado attorney general, phil weiser. thank you so much, mr. wise, of her for coming in to talk about this really important issue. i do want to start by asking you why is it that you found it really important for you to join this lawsuit >> the dobbs decision says whether abortion care is available is up to the states. in this case, involving mifepristone that could be

taken away as we just noted, two-thirds of abortions provided in states like colorado or provided through mifepristone, that becomes illegal. you're de-stabilizing reproductive freedoms something coloradans care deeply about this case doesn't only affect states that might want to ban or limit access to abortion care. it affects every state i do want to talk about that because colorado has laws that protect abortion rights as, as you mentioned, it's an important issue there, uh, but some republican-led states have moved to >> ban or severely restrict access to abortion. how is this ruling you think? how will it affect your stayed whatever they decide? >> taking the most reliable and a well demonstrated safe drug off the market is a reckless act for a court to do. it's the fda's job to make expert judgments about the safety of drugs like mifepristone. that's what they did here.

colorado's rely on this and to force coloradans to go either to a medical abortion or to a drug that's less reliable or effective. it's just wrong and it goes against what the court said in dobbs, which is this will be up to the states that's why we're fighting so hard for this reproductive freedom. we know that the battle joined in dobbs is not over. this is one other example of fighting free, productive freedom. coloradans care deeply about it. that's why i'm fighting in this case. >> can you tell me what that fight looks like? because you've joined the case how involved you are, what you will be seeing and hearing as far as arguments go when you get to a case in supreme court, there's a chance for a range of different actors. so for example, the pharmaceutical industry has also gotten involved filing what i hope to be an influential amicus briefs saying that this destabilizes the whole pharmaceutical industry to have court's making these judgments i'm working

with a coalition of states that believe in reproductive freedom, making the point that you can't just take this drug off the market because it's a medication assisted abortion drug that's actually taking choice away from states that want abortion to be legal. >> so we're >> committed to protecting the people of other states, protecting our rights as states to push for reproductive freedom and if this decision is allowed to stand, it's going to be a huge setback for reproductive freedom. >> i want to go over what's happened within the last two years. telehealth visits where the drug can be prescribed have substantially increased since the dobbs decision, a decision reversing the safety of mifepristone could seriously undermine the fda's approval process and invite conservative judges to second guess the agency's guidelines. what are your worries among some of those things that you've been seeing that there is an increase use in this my worries or several fold. we need to be very clear about why

reproductive freedom matters >> when a >> woman says to a dr. i'm worried about my pregnancy for any number of reasons the ability to manage your pregnancy with one's life and one's mental health. the potential that maybe the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest health concerns, whatever those conversations are. that's between a woman and a dr. you remove the most reliable, effective way to provide abortion care? you're making life harder on people that has a real impact. it makes it harder for someone who might then have to go for a medical procedure. so we're really concerned about a huge step back for reproductive freedom. we're also really concerned because the drug industry in the united states of america is one of the most innovative in the world. we've got a system to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of drugs. this would append that whole system by giving judges the ability to make for whatever reasons they might

think. determinations no, we don't want this drug on the market that could have applications that a range of various. so this case is a really big deal. it's important for effect of freedom. it's important for our pharmaceutical industry, and it's important for the rule of law attorney general phil weiser, we will leave it there. thank you so much for coming on to talk through this really important issue. appreciate you >> thank you. >> all right. we are standing by a new press conference at the site of the bridge collapse in baltimore. what new information they have learned? and what is the status of the search and rescue investigation and the efforts going on in that frigid water right now. and new update it's overnight. cnn learned that sean combs is the target of a federal investigation federal officials storming rating. his homes both coasts >> space shuttle columbia, the final flight premieres sunday,

but when you push in and i read racket here, you can see the lights are on on the cargo ship. the lights are off one more time. the lights are on. >> the >> lights are off on off >> the power appears to have gone out for a time in this on this cargo ship as it approached the bridge here, whether or not that played into the situation is one of the vote very key questions. they are looking into also in terms of the collapse itself, there are some questions right now about the construction of this bridge over time, or they're not there should have been barriers by these pylons holding up the entire bridge. that's an overall issue. evan perez, our friend, pointed that out to us and something that they deal with enbridge disruption quite frequently, some of the things we do want to hear about at this news conference. in the meantime, we do know that search and rescue operations continue in the punjab sco river here very cold water temperature is cnn's derek van dam joins us now to give us an update on what that

situation is most likely like right now, derek yeah. the >> cold water temperatures is an understatement. it's around 48 degrees right now across the pepsico river near the baltimore harbor and near where the bridge collapsed at 01:30 in the morning. and you've got to think about water temperatures roughly between 40 to 50 degrees that can be downright dangerous, downright deadly for anyone exposed to that the type of water for a certain period of time, your heart rate can increase. you can see changes in your breathing. you can also see a rise in your blood pressure leading to a heart attack. so these are all the concerns for this active search and recovery efforts that is still ongoing. remember? cold water drains, body heat by about four times that compared to cold air. so as really saying something for the potential of survivability out of this tragic, tragic incidents. the other thing that we have to consider in this very fluid and dynamic situation is what's happening above the water. so and also

right at the surface of the water there as well. so we have these search and rescue boats that are navigating these waters, which by the way are very choppy made. more choppy by increasing wins. but we have just gone through a high tide cycle which has now changing into low tide. and because we have a full moon right now, we have exaggerated tidal cycles. so whether or not that's impacting currents or perhaps that choppiness of the waves across the chesapeake and more particularly into the protest ski river. that's still needs to be figured out exactly. however with this change in the high to low tide, we anticipate those currents to be difficult to navigate and challenging for the search and rescue operations on top of that, we have a problem coaching cold front that will come through. that's going to increase the wins and also bring in precipitation to the area in the next 24 hours. right now, let's drive is clear, not a problem, but the winds will pick up out of the system as it approaches from the west. john and derek just to situate people so they know the area. we're talking about here. i can show it here on my map.

this is downtown baltimore, this is the inner harbor. this is likely where a lot of people have been in the city, right? well my kanri right there, the star spangled banner written as francis gke was gazing out in 18, 14 over the harbor right there in the baltimore washington airport is down here. you're talking about the current in an out a baltimore harbor where the francis scott key bridge was. how strong would that current be right about now >> okay. so that's the question that we still are trying to get some clarity from the national weather service. but if we just kinda broaden out, look at the larger map here. this is the chesapeake bay. here's the delmarva peninsula, the he's coast of the us. and more particularly, we've got the podolski river that's patel ski river that is flowing out from baltimore. so both of these working together as the tide starts to go towards low tide, do we start to change the currents from not only the ocean, but also the river. does that impact. what's happening near where the collapse of the

bridge occurred last night at 01:30 in the morning, or does that just make the water is more choppy, more murky, more difficult to navigate for the search and rescue boats that are trying to harbor themselves within this area in a safe proximity to the collapse bridge. so a lot of questions still need to be answered. one thing's for sure though we do have these special marine statements in place from the national weather service in terms of the winds on the open water throughout this area, we also have our coastal flood advisory because of these exaggerated floods i mentioned with the ongoing high tides that we have right now spring tides actually such a great explanation. all right. derek van dam. thank you so much for all of that. again, we are standing by for an update out of baltimore. there's a press conference set to begin. any minute. we'll bring it to you the minute it happens. >> is your shower trying to tell you something is getting in and out of the bathtub becoming a safety concern are you worried about the cost of a bathroom remodel that could go

was no indication that that was intentional. and so as federal officials begin to take stock of what exactly happened and how this could have happened. they are making very clear that this was an accident and that there was no terrorism involved. but certainly president biden, as you mentioned, was briefed on this earlier today. white house officials and other administration officials have been in close contact with members of the maryland government and with the local government. we did hear from the transportation secretary pete buttigieg, who said he had spoken with the maryland gov governor wes moore. we also understand that he spoke with the mayor of baltimore and i wouldn't be surprised if we also see the transportation secretary on the ground there in baltimore before long now, as you mentioned, president biden is scheduled to depart midday for a stop in north carolina. he'll be talking about health care, will be joined by the vice president kamala harris. certainly the biden campaign and the white

house, a very interested in making this stark contrast pressed with republicans on this issue, that trip is still on. and so we will see president biden doing that today. but what officials say, of course, is that he'll be continually updated on this incident as certainly the white house begins to take stock of what happened. their focus now is on the search and recovery, but eventually it will also so have to shift to the reconstruction of this bridge and this is very important thoroughfare in baltimore, guys kevin liptak, thank you so much. want to just give you guys a look quickly at the area where we're expecting there to be a press conference very shortly now from authorities about an update as to what is happening with the search and rescue, for example, in that baltimore bridge collapsed, hurting me now is representative. could we fumi the francis scott key bridge is in his district thank you, sir, so much for ringing us and giving us some of your time

this morning when you look at what has happened here especially since we've been watching this for several hours now, just give me your thoughts. on what happened here and what your biggest concerns are at this hour >> while my very smoke is like everyone else, if this is indeed and unthinkable kind of horror, there was nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist act in any way at all. but everything points to some sort of error we don't know if it was on the system or with the people who were guarding the ship in. but the pilots who guide these ships and who were on the phone all the time directly with whoever the captain of the ship is, is a very trained individual. so something must have really gone wrong here to cause this i've spoken directly with secretary buddha's yag this morning, spoken with the white house. they are responding with all of the assets at their disposal our prayers right now, obviously, for the missing individuals and the victims of this tragedy. and we are very appreciative and thank god for

the effective service of our first responders. above and beyond this becomes what happens next and i kinda hard to think about that right now till we have able are able to secure this situation, particularly to determine any loss of human life but it's going to have in huge economic impact on the area of the port of baltimore is one of the busiest ports in the nation. the on, off docs down at the dundalk terminal bring in and take out more cargo than most people could ever imagine. this particularly ship was on a 27 de journey to sri lanka i'm not exactly sure of whether or not it's cargo was diversified or just a single product. but in any event, it cuts off that portion of the port. it's right at the foot of the chesapeake bay. and so this is going to require a great deal of effort from city-state and obviously, our federal government and i'm pleased at least that the white

house has expressed every interest in trying to get this done. it's an unfolding situation. and so i think the better thing right now is to listen into the press conference the government wanted to after declaring a state of emergency bring people up to date with the very latest. i hope you're able to hear it as well. this is the press conference we're hoping to get some updates now on what happened with baltimore bridge collapse. this is the governor thank you all for being here >> this morning. our state is in shock and i want to take in this moment to speak directly to the people of our state >> our first >> responders >> i'm in all of you >> i'm an agi, your courage i'm in all of your strength in all of everything you do for each and every one of us >> you saw >> crisis >> and you said, what can i do to help in response teams are doing everything in our power

to rescue and recover the victims of his collapse literally, as we speak people who as we speak are out there, are divers. are air assets people right now working to save lives and are doing it because the state asks and we will update the public as the work continues >> to our >> partners inside and outside of government i know this has been a long night >> we started coordinating immediately the key bridge collapse >> we've been staying >> together every step of the way from our county leadership so our city leadership to our state leadership to our federal leadership and i'm grateful to call each and every one of you, not just colleagues what i'm grateful to call you friends and to the people of baltimore and each and every one of the

6.3 million marylanders who call our state home i recognize that many of us are hurting right now i recognize that many of us are scared right now and so i want to be very clear. about where everything stands we are still investigating what happened, but we are quickly gathering details the preliminary investigation points to an accident we haven't seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack are administration is working closely with leaders from all levels of government and society to respond to this crisis. and not but just by addressing the immediate aftermath but also by building a state that is more resilient and a state that's more safe that is our pledge. and that's our commitment and we're going to keep that commitment and lastly, to the victims of this tragedy and their loved ones

all of our hearts are broken we fill your loss we're thinking of you. and we will always be think of we pray for the construction workers who were on the key bridge. and we pray for everyone who it's been touched by this tragedy. and their families and all of their loved ones but maryland we will get through them because that is the maryland spirit and that's what maryland is made up we are maryland tough and we are baltimore strong >> in the face of heartbreak we come together we embrace one another and we come back stronger. that's what. we've always done that's what we'll continue to do. and that's what we're going to get done together and we're going to pray for baltimore i'd like to turn this over to center van

hollen has done a remarkable job in our belly delegation and providing support. so thank you, center thank you, governor >> as the governor said, we come together. we come together in baltimore. we come together in maryland first of all, our hearts go out to all those who are on the bridge. and their loved ones. we pray for them our gratitude goes out to the first responders who as we speak, are out there continuing to conduct a search and rescue operations >> i want >> to thank the governor local the mayor county executive, all the people gathered here as part of team baltimore and team maryland. and the federal government is with them as a partner the coast guard, as we speak, is also part of this mission coast guard cutters coast guard aviation assets. i spoke got twice today with

secretary of transportation pete buttigieg pete buttigieg has pledged that they will do everything they can to very quickly release emergency response funds for this important project. the national highway transportation administration administrator is on his way to baltimore. if he's not here already they will be releasing those early funds once all the parties are fully engaged second the national transportation safety board, i talked to the chair this morning. i she and her team will be conducting an investigation of what happened. and finally, the army corps of engineer naval assets of for looking below the surface and clearing all of this is going to be part of the effort the governor is leading team maryland the mayor and the county executive, of course,
