is beyond say, coming from outside of the genre honoring all the ancestors, the cow music, the films that inspire the genre honoring dolly parton, willie nelson, but introducing all these greats new artists from rionda and giddens to tanner adell to reyna roberts. >> she has a >> a new country cadden but she has mastered and i hate even use that word she has she has mastered and ended math three and beyond said, the genre he's had a new word for excellence and expertise is to be onset l, that's beautiful >> i mean, i love that you also say this is a moment of deconstructing and reconstructing and probably for very long time, people kinda felt like you know what, with

any genre of music they feel like it's default. everyone has a universal definition of what it is and your comment saying this is reconstructing, deconstructing i mean, clearly it's a broadening of the definition. it's an education and educational journey into what country music is, has been continues to be, i mean, what american music as right >> and where black people are living in this country and what america is, she's helping america better understand country music and also better understand the wealth of who can be an, is an american. >> the >> great alice randall. >> thank you so much. what a great pleasure to have you with us. thank you so much. >> wonderful is celebrate with you this we get, oh wonderful and happy easter >> thank you >> hello again, everyone. i think so much for being with man fredricka whitfield. all

right. right. now, we are standing by for just outside of baltimore where officials, including the governor will be giving an update it's on the recovery plans at the site of the francis scott key bridge collapse will bring you that press conference as soon as it happens and it comes out as the largest crane on the east coast moves into place. as recovery teams survey the wreckage area, officials say it remains the top priority to find nine to the four construction workers who are presumed dead. but still missing from tuesday's catastrophic collapse. cnn's gloria pazmino is live for us in baltimore. gloria, what do you learning about the assessments before these recovery efforts can happen >> yeah, fred, that crane is called the chesapeake 1,000 and it is here in the area just one of the many heavy piece this is of machinery that are going to play a critical role in helping

to move this wreckage. as you said, too big priorities here. the first first, to be able to go back in there and continue searching for those who were killed in this terrible accident. and the second priority to try and reopen the area, reopen the waterway. this is one of america's busiest boards and people need to get back to work for the governor has made it clear those it's too are his key priorities. i spoke with a lieutenant-general scott spellmon just a few short time ago. he's the commanding general of the us us army corps of engineer, which is leading the mission to clean this up. this is a complicated operation. they have to beat mathias article about how they take every single step and it could take several weeks, listen to what he said >> the vessel looks small from where we're standing here on the yeah. the sure. that vessel

ways on your of 95,000 tons the bridge span. that's behind us that when i mentioned we're going to sever that piece ways 5,000 times alone. so that's a lot of downward pressure on that vessel already here we are. correct. >> we have one of the largest crane here on the eastern seaboard arrives 23, 11 tonight's ago and so imagine we're going to have to cut those steel sections it's too much smaller components to live them out safely and efficiently >> so you can really just start to understand the magnitude of the work that is ahead. and again, fred about those four families, they understand now that there off the ones are gone, but they're hanging on to the hope that they can recover the bodies so that they can at least have a chance to say goodbye. that will be an essential piece. in order for them to be able to get closer to that closure this community

to get closure. and for everyone here to be able to start getting back to some semblance of normalcy >> right. all right. gloria pazmino. thank you so much. of course, when that briefing gets underway there in maryland, i will take you there live well, for many the disaster in baltimore is eerily similar to another bridge collapse back in 1980, the sunshine skyway bridge and tampa, florida was hit by a barge during rush hour. in that case, 35 people were killed joining us right now an attorney who worked don litigation surrounding that collapsed 44 years ago stephen yearid. good to see you, stephen. i mean, it was this a little deja vu for you when you saw what had happened in baltimore earlier in the week >> it was days of view. play me. i can tell you when i saw this it was like watching a repeat performance of something. i'll never forget. but the real problem here was

the foreseeability. you see, 1980 was not just a tragedy that took down 35 people's lives. it was a lesson the lesson, the tragedies like this don't have to occur. and the lesson wasn't taught because then the bridge in baltimore, the key bridge, was built in 1977. at that time it was a fair critical bridge, meaning if any of the pilots he's got hit, any of the foundation peers got hit. that bridge was coming down in totality. it was gonna be a catastrophe. so instead of rebuilding the bridge at great cost, there's a lot of old super structures it's america unfortunately, bridges are left for a long time for lack of funds, lack of foresight. but that does not excuse the fact that in 1980, the baltimore transportation officials went on record with the baltimore sun saying that if such a collision would happen with that structure of the key bridge, the bridge would come down. the bigger question for america and for people watching this program, all across america with

bridges, they are antiquated that are old >> why >> weren't safety precautions done and someone has said, i think secretary buttigieg said that a safety would not enter into it because a bridge of that size with the magnitude of that ship five times now, because of modern shipping, five times larger than the sum adventure to which hit the skyway bridge would not sustain the collision. okay. i understand that. that sounds >> right because we're talking about vessels now that her so much larger than in the '70s when this bridge was built. but i think i hear you on where you're going. you're talking potentially about the protections again around those pillars like fenders, et cetera why is it in this case, you why in this case they weren't put into place as we saw in some other bridges across the country. so will that be a consideration made when? account the questions of accountability are already

underway and people want to know why weren't those protections in place? would it have made a difference? is that going to be at the core of potential challenges that might come legal challenges that may come from say, the family members of this six who were killed here, or perhaps those in the shipping industry who are going to want to say, we want accountability for the many, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars loss and not being able to transport items is that what you see coming >> fredricka, you've got it right on the point you'd better right on the money, the problem money that's a harrow hell of a thing. yes. but the problem is safety measures. i understand it. ships are larger, i get that. and they're great, enormous magnitude i get that too. but so is technology. we have appear structure around the skyway bridge, which is a template for safe bridge construction all over the world. there's no reason in the

world why safety precautions could not have been implemented in 44 years after that lesson 1980 was taught 44 years. and if engineers say that, that's not possible, they would never work for me anything is possible like that. >> building. john lauro, god bless him. he said it best ships can't go where there's no water another additional safety in addition to the dolphins those are the large structures, the round structures would be spoil islands and people say, oh no, no spoil islands would be a hazard to navigation. it's easy to be a doomsayer. it's very hard to be a safety pioneer. it doesn't take a real rocket scientist or an engineer to figure out that ships can be protected from striking bridges, should it be a terrorist attack? should it be inclement weather like the skyway? should it be human error or in this case, most likely mechanical and electrical failure when a ship loses power in steerage the collision is virtually

inevitable and we're ships of that size, as you pointed out the aftermath of such a collision is often death and destruction, total destruction if this had been rush hour in baltimore, i went to georgetown law school. if this had been russia and baltimore the key bridge would have been packed with passer buyers transiting people buses, commercial vehicles, the dolt the death toll would have been astronomical compared to the poor, poor people that lost their lives. but to those six families, the astronomical loss is very evident every time they sit around their table and see the empty chair so loss of life listen, safety comes at a price, but i realized the price cannot be exorbitant or impractical. that right now and delaware, they're building $95,000,000 protecting around the peer. why wasn't that done in baltimore? that's the question. and the question will not be answered by all the all the people that say, oh, it couldn't have been done. you know what? it could have been done >> they don't answer that do

you see the pressing of equal accountability, whether it be for the protections of the bridge as well as applied to the owners. those who maintain the vessel there was electrical failure initially, that's what we're hearing from some if indeed electrical failure that points to the maintenance of a vessel. i mean, it was no wind for something think that big that close to the bridge to be able to drag an anchor based on all the experts that i've heard, to drag an anchor to stop it from hitting a pillar >> well, let's talk about that for just very, very briefly, just for a second. do i think that the ship is going to be blamed? you asked me about the legal targets. i'm not going to be involved. i've already climbed mount everest. i don't need and do it again when i exonerated the pilot, that was my last pile of defense, but i will tell you as just an observer who's very interested in this area, the things that are going to be looked at closely by anybody claiming

damages would be the shipowner first, it's managed by a large conglomerate. they also have what's called a managing agent. there'll be looked at the sea worthiness of the vessel is a one-way that the vessel owner and it's a corporate entities can be held liable, especially if the if the chip at least me if the ship is deemed to be on seaworthy they will break what's called a limitation of liability. the plaintiffs, and they will go after the company regardless of the value of the ship, which is normally what a limitation of liability imposes if the ship is seaworthy, they get to pay only up to the amount of the value of the ship in this case if the z worthiness, which i think is going to be very, very susceptible, suspect to attack. >> it >> may open up the ship owner to a lot, a lot of liability. secondly, they'll probably look at the pilots that's inevitable people want to blame the human and being. these pilots are the best of the best i think. and most likely the pilot didn't have a whole heck of a lot of options dropping

anchor as you pointed out in a large chip like that, it's not like a car balloon. take half a mile, three-quarters of a mile, maybe even longer. but that could have been tried. remember though john lauro said it best, shifts can't go where there's no water so you stopped the ship before the what's called an elision excuse me, but you stopped the ship before it ever collides because bad things are going to happen in this case for those poor families, bad things, the ultimate bad thing happened, and the ultimate price was paid. we don't need this to happen again. we can take measures remedial measures not exorbitantly expensive, but prudent and safe, worthy, and i think for the welfare of the people transing that birds 30,000 motorists a day you're talking about a catastrophe waiting to happen and the problem with baltimore's. they four it in 1983 years after that bridge was built. >> all right. >> well, still so >> many unanswered questions, but really appreciate your

accelerated and we have a series of 24/7 operations currently underway unified command are conducting planning and engineering assessments 24 hours a day we have assets on the water, enforcing safety zones 24 hours a day. we have assessments on the dali being conducted 24 hours a day. this isn't around the clock operation and we're going to ramp up our 24/7 posture in the coming days. i want to give special thanks to amoled gilruth and the coast guard, who had been working tirelessly. the common on the coast guard was here just yesterday, i had a chance to thank admiral fagan for her team's work and we're grateful we're grateful for them now and always now today >> i'll provide >> updates on the four directives that i've issued to

this team as a reminder first, we need to continue to focus on recovery second we need to clear the channel and open vessel traffic to the port third, we need to take care of all of the people who have been affected by this crisis and forth >> we, need to >> and we will rebuild the key bridge this morning. i received a briefing from unified command, and i spoken with leaders all across the state and also leaders from our fellow delegation leaders from all across the country amin working on who had been working on this response to the well >> first >> on our recovery efforts, as i mentioned yesterday, we need to do more work on clearing the channel in order to move forward. this is a remarkably

complex operation and our focus needs to be on unity of command >> and >> unity of effort conditions in the water make it unsafe for rescue divers. and we're not just talking about weather and wind we're talking about debris we're talking about wreckage we're talking about pieces of the key bridge that are in the water one of the manchus in the military that we learned was this mission first people always >> and that's the mindset that we are applying to this work. we're going to move as fast as possible we're going to ensure the safety of our first responders and we are not going to compromise one for the other. we're going to do both at the same time right now >> the conditions >> make it unsafe for rescue divers. but as soon as those

conditions change colonel butler has assured me that those rescue divers will be going right back in the water i also want to remind everyone that this is a no drone zone. it has been established and that is throughout the entire airspace surrounding the collapse. this is not a game, and please do not test my seriousness. illness the instructions are simple and they must be followed >> all >> drones are to stay away from the site of the francis scott key bridge collapse period and full stop now second, on clearing the federal channel and opening vessel traffic to the port with a salvage operation. that is this complex and this unprecedented you need to be able to plan for every single moment and this work is going to take time and we're going to continually assess and reassess this situation. this

morning unified command assured me that the whole of the dali is damaged but intact the army corps and their partners will begin to move forward with a crane operations today the north. sections of the key bridge are going to be cut up and removed this will eventually allow us to open up a temporary restricted channel that will help us to get more vessels in the water around the site of the collapse. in our. friends at trade point atlantic have agreed to help us with the process wreckage from the salvage operation and to the team at trade point i want to say thank you again for stepping up. this is going to take time to clear this section of the collapse it's not going to take hours. it's not going to take days but once we complete this phase of the work, we can move more tugs and more barges and more boats into

the area to accelerate our recovery as of yesterday, 377 people were actively engage in response operations in support of unified command and we'll continue to marshal people and resources to ensure that we have everything that we need to do this work as safely, as efficiently and as effectively as possible. now i've said this before. i will say it again, and i will continue to say this. this is not just about maryland this is about our nation's economy the port handles more cars and more farm equipment, more than any other port inside this country. and at least 8,000 workers on the docks have jobs that have been directly affected by this collapse our economy depends on the port of baltimore and the port of baltimore depends on

vessel traffic. maryland's economy and maryland workers rely on us to move quickly and it's not just maryland that is being impacted i'm also talking about the farmer in kentucky i'm also talking about the autoworker and ohio. i'm talking about the restaurant owner in tennessee this is impacting all of us and the nation's economy and the nation's workers are relying on us to move quickly and move together >> third, taking care of our people >> i've said it already >> mission first people always >> last night, the small business >> administration accepted our request to approve a disaster declaration and that declaration his now in effect i want to thank the biden harris administration for accepting our request within a matter of

hours. and i want to personally thank president biden for his constant support because of this declaration small businesses affected by the disaster can now apply for disaster loan assistance from the federal government. and these are low interest loans up to 2 million they're going to help us ensure that our small businesses get the cash that they need to pay their bills and to keep people employed the applications should be submitted online. at lending dot sba by december 30, 2024. i'm going to say one more time, so people couldn't. so for those who mystic can hear it again, applications should be submitted online at lending and they should be in by december 30th of 2024 this declaration also empowers the state of maryland to apply for new federal funding to pay for services and training for

impacted workers and wage recovery i've been briefed by the maryland department of labor. they've assured me that they are working around the clock to get that application submitted asap the small business ministration will also be establishing a business resource center on monday we will get that location information to you as soon as we know more >> now, fourth rebuilding i said, uh, yesterday we cannot rebuild the bridge until we have cleared the wreckage but we're going to get this done we will, clear, the, wreckage we will move the dali and we will rebuild the francis scott key bridge we're going, to do that because we are maryland tough and we are baltimore strong >> and you can bet on that so when this moment i'm going to

hand it off to senator chris van hollen and also in order, we're also joined by been received briefings by leaders in the coast guard the maryland state police the maryland department of transportation. we're also here with baltimore city mayor brandon scott and run a county executive, steuart pittman in other leaders now, a monic to turnover to senator chris van home thank you, governor. and i want to >> thank you mayor brandon scott county executive, pittman county executive olszewski for first and foremost, doing everything you can to support the families of the six individuals. the sixth souls that we lost. i know all the efforts you're under taking to make sure they know that the community and our state stands

with them. so thank you >> i also >> want to say to our first responders. thank you. not just what you did at the moment of the crisis, but what you continue to do and to the divers who are going to be looking at the wreckage. so we can figure out the best plan a forward as the governor has said, our priority is to make sure that all those thousands of marylanders and others whose livelihood depends on the port of baltimore get back to work as soon as possible. and that means number one, making sure we have the channel open. but in the meantime, doing everything we can to support them and their families. and again, i want to thank you, governor and the general assembly for the fast work that you've undertaken through emergency legislation to address that, i spoke this morning to acting labor secretary, julie su shi is also, as you know, working with the maryland team to do

everything possible. the federal level to support those workers and those jobs as we work to get the channel open and the port open, small businesses, the governor mentioned the good news from today >> the >> sba administrator, guzman, very quickly reviewed the state's request and those are emergency low interest loans that will go to support small businesses 4% over 30 years. and a grace period during the first year. so small businesses can do everything they can to keep their for workers on the job. as we work to open the channel opening the channel as you heard from the governor, that is the number one priority. and i want to thank president biden and his entire team for being laser-focused on helping baltimore and maryland in the aftermath of this emergency. we've heard from the coast guard and we're going to hear from them again, i want to thank them admiral was great to join you. and the common of the

coast guard yesterday to see a close-up view of the site. the bridge, the ship, and everything that we need to do to address it. it gave us a close-up sense of the magnitude of the challenge but we also know that we are up to meeting that challenge and doing it as fast as. possible. and to the army corps of engineer and the navy and the others who are being deployed to do this job. i want to thank you again. thank you to the biden harris administration because the federal government will cover the total cost of clearing the channel so that we can get those ships moving again and get the port open on rebuilding the bridge again, governor, thank you. and your team for such fast work and thank you to president biden and his team for such fast action. $60 is already been made available on a quick basis, to make sure

that we can address the impact on surrounding traffic patterns from the fact that the bridge has collapsed and then maryland has also been deemed eligible. they've been accepted into the emergency program at the federal level. that will mean that the federal government will pick up 90% of the costs of that program. and center carden and i will be working very hard with our delegation, congressman and fumi and others to make sure that we made good on president biden's promise the federal government will pick up the full cost and i just also want to say, ben cardin could not be here at this moment. he's been here day in, day out. he will be back we worked very closely together with the governor's team on those small business loans. and we're gonna be working together to introduce that legislation on behalf of our delegation this is an a great american

city. this is a great american port. and i really hope that our colleagues in the senate and house will come together as americans to address this crisis. as we came together at an americans when we saw previous bridge collapses. for example, in minneapolis in 2000 in seven, this is really a moment for us all to unite i want to thank again, the governor is team and everybody here who are part of the executive branch at the federal level and the state level and local level. we're going to get this done and we will also make sure that as the ntsb does its work, that if their funds that will flow because of any liability by any party that contributed to what happened here. if there's liability, those funds will be returned to the federal government to offset any outlays the federal government undertakes in this effort. so we are here again to

get this job done, open the port as fast as possible begin the process of rebuilding the bridge and you've got the a team here from the federal government, the state government, the city government, county governments to get it done under the quarterbacking of governor more. so. thank you, governor. and i will turn it back over to you >> thank you >> good afternoon. i'm michelle shannon gilreath governor senator, i'd like to thank you for your kind words about this response so far. and i want to emphasize that this is a team effort it's not just the coast guard. we are part of this community. we are heavily invested in this, but it is a team effort made up a number of federal partners, including the united states navy supervisor of salvage, the army corps of engineers, and other federal agents this isn't partners. and there are tremendous number of state and local officials

and agencies that are helping us. and you see some of them to my left. they are huge part of this year unified command and making this go and work. and i also want to thank the community at large for your amazing support that you've given us. we feel the love that's coming from this community in the city, in the state. so thank you so much for that. and please continue your prayers for the families of the people that were impacted by this i want to give you a very brief update on some of the things that are happening unified command. our number one priority remains. reopening the port of baltimore. and to do that, we've got to clear that deep draft channel. and so i've talked about our phases. we're going to continue with that, reopening the deep draft channel and remove that debris. were good and then remove the ship and then we're going to also continues to remove debris from the bridge across the waterway. now, those efforts are ongoing. we're continuing to bring in the resources for that. we are continuing to do

diving just for the purposes of evaluating how we can actually potentially cut up portions of the bridge how we can rig for future lifts with the cranes, and how we can figure out exactly how to do this as safely as possible so that we can get that channel reopened and we're working really hard on that to get that done with the smartest engineers we have they are really working hard on that and so i've got i'm fortunate to say that we don't have to do all of those in the exact same order. it doesn't have to go hello linearly. it can go simultaneously. >> and >> we are working really hard in that regard. and so i'm really proud to announce that the governor said, we're going to conduct our first lift today on a piece of a portion of the bridge just north of that deep draft shipping channel. and we will continue planning efforts

for once we get that clear to open that up for tag and barge traffic to come into the port of boston baltimore. but that's going to take some more time and this is a step in that process. much like when you run a marathon, you've got to take the first few steps. were we're taking those few first few steps and we're continuing get the resources in that will impel us to the finish line. but we're working to get there as fast as we can. we're going to open it as soon as possible. and we're going to continue to do it safely. and i'd like the later today, you'll hear from the maryland department of transportation about that particular lift because they're really using their expertise and engineering and their contractors and engineers to help us with that i'd lot for them to speak more about that. but, governor, thank you very much for your continued support of this unified command. it truly is a partnership it's a privilege to get to work here. thank you, sir. thanks >> good afternoon. i'm colonel butler of the maryland state police the maryland state police continue to be an active

part of the unified command as governor moore mentioned, the brave members of our underwater rescue teams remain on standby that will resume the recovery now for once a unified command has informed them, it is safe to resume diving operations. again, as governor, moore stressed, just moments ago, we are reminding the public that the federal aviation administration has implemented a temporary flight restriction following the bridge collapse this restriction extends for three miles from the center of the bridge and radius and 1,500 feet from ground level up i want to emphasize the importance of refraining from flying drones in the area. doing so poses significant risks to the only going efforts by all of our partners to respond to this incident and bring it to closure >> urge >> everyone, exercise responsibility and respect the airspace restrictions around the francis scott be francis scott key bridge collapse site

please refrain from operating drones in the facility and the vicinity allow emergency personnel to carry out their duties safely and effectively law enforcement is actively monitoring the area for illegal drone use law enforcement has already responded to multiple drone incursions over the past few days he zero tolerance policy regarding any drone anywhere within the node drone zone established by the faa anyone who attempts to fly a drone and any prohibited manager in the area is subject to arrest. prosecution, and/or fines in addition we know that this tragedy has far-reaching comp implications. that will affect the daily lives of maryland is for the foreseeable future. i want to assure the public that the maryland state police the maryland transportation authority police, and all of our law enforcement partners are working together with the maryland department of transportation to mitigate the

governor's leadership and directions, the maryland harbour transportation continues to support the unified command salvage efforts as has been said many times, we'll said many we're times the top priority is clear. the shipping channel. >> crews are out today, work in a >> remove part of the north side of the bridge that remains the first piece could be removed and dropped off to trade point atlantic as soon as today as the admiral said, that is done by some of the forces that we brought on board. but the reality is, it's done by unified command. that's who's doing that work and has also was said this is the first many, many, many steps going forward, but it is a huge milestone as we start this process i also want to, although we've lost, obviously the tremendous amount of activity at the port of baltimore. there still is some activity going on to the port of baltimore, particularly at trade point atlantic, at trade port atlantic continues to move auto vehicles and put them into their processing center we're also working with trayvon

atlanta to offload auto vehicles at their sparrows point facility and move them to process dean areas where workers can get ready, get them ready for dealerships. this is all about bringing people back to work i also wanted to stress to the ports distribution operations. >> we're listening to officials also underscoring maryland governor wes moore's message there that this is a 24 hour project assets on the water and assets on that vessel, dali, there near the francis scott key bridge? collapse. the mayor there underscoring that there are four directives for the entire team working on these projects to continue to focus on the recovery to open the channel, take care of the people affected. we know six people died from this bridge collapse. he's mostly talking about them, the family members of those people affected, and the need to rebuild eventually that

key bridge, a bridge that is vital to the economy, not just in the baltimore, maryland area, but the governor underscore boring to the nation, are gloria pazmino. is there for us live from the baltimore area? and gloria, you heard a very succinct message about the efforts and how dangerous it continues to be there for the divers to be able to get into the water. however, they have been able to make some assessments what more did we hear from the officials there >> yeah, friday was really striking just to hear the governor detailing just how meticulous this is all going to be. they are going step making sure that they are so careful about how they do this. and then next several days because it is dangerous, it is complicated and they have to get it right. as you said, the governor has outlined four for key components of this

operation, their recovery, the clearing of the channel, taking care of those who have been affected, and eventually being able to read he build the bridge. now first to that recovery portion, which gets at the recovery of those who were killed in this incident, the governor it actually struck me. he took the time at the top of the press conference to speak a few words in spanish to those families who have lost their loved ones funds, saying that they have the support of everyone here and that they are trying to do everything they can to get to them as soon as possible. but that is an extremely complicated operation. there are tons of debris in the water on top of this ship. mangled metal concrete. >> this >> is extremely dangerous for those divers who would be able to go in there. we know the divers have not been able to return but the governor made it

clear that the state police, that as soon as that they are able to do so, they will go back in there because because they know they have four families we're waiting to hear if the bodies of their loved ones have been recovered. so that's going to be one major part of this operation, extremely dangerous and difficult to navigate the waters considering what's in it. the freezing temperatures and of course, how dangerous it is to move who all of that debris then they're talking about the possibility of clearing this channel. eventually the hope is that they will be able to clear an area round the wreckage so that ships can start to move in and out. and that the port can reopen and we can start to move things here so that people can get back to work that will be the first part of it. and as you can see there, it is going to be a long, multi-step process
