and everyday. six months ago, i saw we havest two lines thator come through te store, dme line which they pickp their merchandise and a pawne line, which is the line they brin g merchandise to get money on. righpond lint now the pawn linee as lonisg as the redemption line for people picking up merchandise. so we know in advance.ise. we are street-level economists.c we know what is happening wayto before the mediar. does. >> laura: it is both fascinating and deeply disturbing.bett americans deserve better than this but thank you very much for explaining this to us. we need to understand this pairo that is it for us tonight. prayers for those who lost their lives in the wearable bridge >> carley: fox news alert, you are looking live at the harbor

where the francis scott key bridge sits this morning. six people presumed dead and they are shifting to recovery effort this morning. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. we are piecing together what happened yesterday when a cargo ship struck the pillar of the bridge sending the whole thing crashing into the water and panic erupted. >> the whole bridge just collapsed. >> the traffic -- >> i can't get to the other side, sir, the bridge is down. >> todd: live on the scene, connor, what is the latest? >> that search and rescue effort sadly turned into a recovery effort, coast guard suspending

search due to dangerous conditions. they will be back out this morning. we've seen this video yesterday and last night and officials believe the ship lost propulsion before it slammed into the francis scott key bridge, one of the main supports. the ship were able to -- six are missing and two were rescued. we're hearing from mexico's consul general who say some are from mexico and honduras. the ship's owner released a statement saying all crew members, including two pilots are accounted for and now report of injury or pollution. u.s. coast guard and local officials have been notified and

owners and managers are cooperating with agencies under an approved plan. this will create travel issues and financial issues. port of baltimore is ninth busiest in the country with huge amount of freight coming through and it is a major cruise ship terminal. federal officials vowing to rebuild as soon as possible. when diverls get back in the river this morning they will face more difficult condition. cold weather, possible severe weather. there are tons of twisted steel down in the water, they will have to navigate through. it is sharp and dangerous. >> carley: thank you so much. bring in naval veteran, economic analyst jame jim nails.

presumed loss of life here is the major story. there are also economic impact because of this port and this bridge that went down. we just lived through a supply chain crisis, we know what that can do. what will the impact of this be? >> that port is 80 billion of trade every year, equating to 220 million per day. largest port for importing cars and trucks in the united states and exporting coal in the united states. this will have a major impact on the economy and supply chain. there are about 40 ships stranded inside the harbor, they can't leave. there are ships coming into the harbor that have to find other harbors to go through and ships plan to sail and will find

different ports from which to sail. this will significantly disrupt the supply chain. >> todd: drilling down into specifics, i expect certain goods and services in my stores, will i see delay because of this incident? if so, how long? >> until they can reroute ships, you will see delays, probably about a six-week delay until things shake back out. we did learn from covid how to recover from something like this. there will be time to reschedule the ports and unload the vessels. you may not see all the shirts you want on the shelves and missing food and see the cost of an automobile go up, but we'll recover. >> carley: clay diamond, executive director and general counsel of american pilot

association, he said the captain of the ship did everything he could to slow the ship and keep it from drifting to the bridge. there was a total blackout on the ship, it was a complete blackout. what could have caused this? >> it could have been anything from electrical failure to mechanical failure to air in a fuel line that caused this to happen. the question i would push hard on, i don't believe they did everything they could do. the ship has two anchors, they did not drop the anchors, that is first thing you do when you lose steerage, drop the anchor to prevent this. does not look like they did that ot otherwise they would not have been going eight knots per hour. we need to understand what

happened to the ship's propulsion. >> carley: i believe i read the captain tried to drop one anchor, would that have been appropriate move or should he have dropped both? >> if they had time to issue a mayday and allow for the bridge to be closed, they had time to drop the anchors, i'm wondering if they were properly manned. >> todd: the mayday call saved countless lives by stopping people at the bridge. it appears the mayday call did not make it to the construction workers on the bridge. >> some reports say they chose to stay on the bridge to try to rescue people and there are other reports that said they did not have time to get off the bridge. if you were working at the midpoint, you would have to run

fast to get off the bridge, i don't think they had time. >> carley: absolutely tragic. thank you. jamie cruz was working near the francis scott key bridge at the time of the collapse. good morning, you were working overnight shift at amazon across the water from the bridge and you knew something was wrong when you felt a shake. then what happened? >> i just kind of ignored it at first, we get rumbles and shakes all the time, a storm can cause it to shake. i assumed it was thunder. went on break and the entire bridge was gone. it was disturbing. >> todd: the bridge you travel on, friends and family travel on, what was your response bh it was gone? >> i thought i was going crazy

at first, i couldn't believe my eyes. >> carley: what is the community saying, your co-workers, how are people in baltimore handling this? >> my co-workers are taking back by, in shock, i guess. a lot of them are upset, disappointed they have to deal with this and hear about people dying while they are working. it has been disturbing for everybody here, we are right across the water from it, we see the rescuers, ships, all that. >> todd: amazon delivers goods in trucks, had any of your co-workers used that bridge with frequency to transfer goods to and from your facility? >> yeah, we just right before it happened sent trucks out at 1:30. a couple of our trucks had just made it over the bridge.

we are sad nobody else made it off. >> carley: what does it look like right now? can you describe what you are seeing from where you are? is the boat still in the water? what are you seeing? >> when i clocked in at 6:30 at night, the boat was there, when i went on break, i couldn't see anything, it was dark. it is 5:00 a.m. and i'm not outside right now. >> todd: loss of life is issue one, two and three, that is all that is important. going forward, how important was this bridge for you to get around in the area where you live? >> carley: even the amazon packages, there could be delays now. >> yeah, we're dealing with a lot, it is distressful, we are wo wondering how long it will take to -- sorry. my co-worker calling me, we are

supposed to be leaving. >> carley: we won't take up too much time, jamie, looking at the bridge collapse and the ship mangled in the steel of the bridge. how do you even begin to clean something like this up? >> a lot of work and a lot of tools. >> carley: a lot of time and money, too. >> todd: so important to remind the oaudience, people like you doing work in overnight hours keep us going. for this to happen in the overnight hours, it is really, really sad for the individuals who died and sad for your line of work, your livelihood and we're going to be watching to make sure you, your entire community and and nation recover from this. we know you got to go, we appreciate it. best of luck to you. >> carley: thank you.

quickly, todd, it was reported cars fell into the water and now we're learning sonar technology did detect cars, they are believe the to be vehicles that belonged to the construction workers. nobody is believed to be in the cars in the water. >> todd: wife of an american held hostage has been fighting for years to bring her husband home. >> carley: she talked toim had last night and joans us for an interview to update us on his condition. don't go anywhere.

it was difficult because i could not share with him that i see a lot of hope and things are moving forward and that was disappointing to not be able to instill a lot of hope in him. >> todd: so sorry for what you experienced when talking to ryan. let's focus on the hope. why do you have hope? what has happened in your discussion with the administration or others to give you hope? >> so actually i have been to d.c. nine times and i am co concerned because when i am not in face-to-face conversations with officials at state department, things get stuck. that is what i expressed, i don't see things working forward, i'm sor so sorry, i'm working hard and doing my best.

things are stuck again and i'm concerned about that for ryan and really concerned about that for our family. >> todd: do you think the biden administration should be doing more? >> absolutely. absolutely. i have still not met with the president. i see that the gaza hostage families have met with him several times, i keep asking for meetings and how can i kno beli this is prioritized when he won't speak to me. i'm concerned about the priority of this and we keep giving more to the taliban and meantime ryan's physical and mental health is declining rapidly in a basement cell. >> todd: what is your message to the president of the united states? >> please bring ryan home. please make this, he's an important u.s. citizen who was

just trying to help people and he needs to be brought home. my children need him back alive. my daughter is graduated high school end of june and we want ryan home in full health and we're very concerned at this point. almost 600 days and he's declining rapidly and losing hope. >> todd: goes without saying, thoughts and prayers are with you. riknowa was there to train staff of a business he started in 2017 and now almost 600 days in captivity, bring him home. thank you for your plight on behalf of your husband. >> thank you so much. >> carley: god bless that family, pray for a positive outcome. janice dean is here. >> janice: beautiful interview and beautiful family. current temperatures, storm system moving across the east

do it again. >> absolutely. new york is one of the only states in the country that doesn't allow a judge to -- should not have been held while his case was pending. >> carley: worst possible tragedy, this officer was wearing a bullet proof vest, the bullet went right under. he has a wife and a young son, this should be the happiest time of his life. having to raise this child alone, i'm sure she will think about her husband and this is a tragedy this family will never get over. we talk a lot about progressive prosecutors and you mention the judge set bail at $75,000 for the driver. the judges can sometimes be the issue. >> judges are under pressure

from the city council and the people who appoint them and people who control their advancement in the criminal justice system, they are under pressure to keep defendants out of jail. the city has 6300 people in jail in new york city facility, they have to get the number down to 3300 to close down ryker's island. >> carley: there is go fund me page called police officer jonathan diller, if you want to donate to his young family and blue lives matter, you can donate. trying to make sense of this situation. proosht it. todd, over to you. >> todd: live to baltimore

>> i ignored it at first because gets rumbles and shakes all the time. we live near the water. any kind of a storm could cause the storm. when i went on break the whole bridge was gone. we sent trucks out at 1:30. we were told a couple of our trucks just made it over the bridge before it got hit. so we were all happy that they made it over but really sad that nobody else made it off. >> todd: just moments ago on "fox & friends" the witness describing the moment she felt the ground shake and realized that the francis scott key bridge had just plunged into the river. now, one of the busiest ports in our country completely shut down. $80 billion of cargo passed through last year where does that cargo go now. cheryl casone here with more on the economic impact of the collapse, cheryl? >> cheryl: so basically the other ports, the surrounding ports whether it's norfolk in particular, the new york port or

philadelphia those will take on the bulk of imports and exports. it's not so simple. one thing that baltimore was best known for was vehicles. cars, trucks and also construction equipment. think cranes. that's what you would put in and out of that baltimore port. 750,000 cars and vehicles actually moved in and out of that mostly in to that part. subaru, mercedes, mazda. those will be the carmakers most effected and then also raw sugar imports huge domino sugar factory there. there will be issue there those will be disrupted. also, think about l and g exports. the u.k. europe. liquified natural gas. major exports out of this port of lng. that's going to be an energy problem for folks over in europe. also, just the jobs. i mean, you have to think about it. it's about 15,000 jobs or so that are actually tied to that port but really 140,000 jobs

tied to that port. it's a big economic story as well. it could be inflationary unfortunately. >> todd: expect about six week delays on your goods but it remains to be seen whether that is going to be it at this point. because you are going to be taxing ports. we have seen when ports have strikes our economy suffers, the supply chain is definitely impacted. >> absolutely. in particular i was looking at l and g. they exported half a milliontons in 2023. that energy export of the united states. that is a united states story in particular but also what's going to happen with europe and their energy supply. i was looking at shares of console energy and cfx which is the railcar company those stocks actually fell yesterday because there was pressure on them because they are going to have their operations affected, unfortunately. you know, over 52 million tons of foreign cargo pass through

that port. and then also you have got the cruise ship business haven't gotten there yet. a cruise ship business. all of that is going to be disrupted. then yesterday, also what happened real quick i will just tell you is that you had -- there was one cruise ship instantaneously impacted. all those voyages have to be -- those passengers have to be moved. we are looking at a port that is probably -- that bridge is going to be out for a couple of years. the port can operate. but that bridge also an economic story just for the baltimore area for cars and trucks and things like that. >> todd: great set up on the problems and question of how long, cheryl. thank you. let's try to get an answer from that from somebody in the government. jeff van drew information committee and subhouse coast guard and maritime transportation. how long before things get back to normal, if ever? >> they will get back to normal, and we got to do it as soon as we possibly can so our committee, we are in touch with

the national transportation board department of transportation. the coast guard. among other agencies. here's the deal, this is what government is supposed to do. unfortunately we often aren't doing what we are supposed to do. we need to help this get remediated as soon as it possibly can almost two decades ago in mississippi, together in the congress, and got the dollars that were needed over to where it was needed in. [broken audio] accident happened. we better determine what we need to do when and where we need to do it and get it done quickly. one other point here that's really important. it is so important that we realize that the inventories that companies have are not the same inventories they used to have years ago before joe biden because inflation is so high it's problematic for them to hold that many goods in one location. so we are going to very quickly have problems with the supply chain. you know, bad policies reap more

bad policies. the question here isn't necessarily more laws. 9 question here is maybe for the department of transportation whether it is with the airlines and what is going on with boeing and all the problems they are having over in this case. you know what in don't worry about free equity, buttigieg, don't worry about all the other issues that go along with using the proper pronouns, let's worry about people keeping people safe and reacting quickly to these types of issues. >> there is an implication in that first answer that you gave that in some way the biden administration is responsible for the events of yesterday. do you lay any blame at the feet of joe biden and if so why? about 45 seconds to you, congressman? >> inflation, less goods are on hand. the inventories are low because the inventories are low, we are going to feel this much more quickly than we normally would do. yes, i do unfortunately. >> todd: final question to you.

who hold the shipping company accountable and what does that accountability look like now 30 seconds to you, congressman? we're going to have hearings in congress. we're going to have hearings probably on both of my committees, the coast guard subcommittee as well as on the entire transportation committee to find out exactly what happened it. may not be more regulations and laws, are we enforcing them properly and a big shout-out to law enforcement who did the right thing, moved quickly, and saved a whole will the of lives on that bridge. >> todd: amen. without our foun first respondes both on the bridge and in the water we would have lost a lot more people. jeff van drew, we appreciate your time this morning. keep us posted on the steps you are is taking the people need the government to step in and fix this. "fox & friends" begins right now. >> lawrence: buckle up 6:00 a.m. on the east coast and wednesday,
