12:03 pm
into the harbor. >> the collapse is almost sure to create a logistical nightmare for months, if not years along the east coast, shutting down ship traffic at the port of baltimore. that's a major shipping hub last year. the port of baltimore handled more than 52 million tons of foreign cargo and more than 444,000 passengers cruised out of that port. this accident last will snarl, cargo and commuter traffic. president joe biden says he plans to travel to baltimore as quickly as he can. it's my intention. >> that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstruction. that bridge and i expect or the congress to support my this could take some time. the people of baltimore can count on us. so stick with every step of the way for the poor is reopening. the bridge rebuilt. >> the ship was heading from baltimore to syria. lack of the fbi says there is no credible information to
12:04 pm
suggest terrorism. and here in the bay area, bridges are a critical part of our daily life for so many people. but after seeing what happened this morning, baltimore, many might be wondering what protections are in place to prevent an accident like that from happening here. kron 4 charles clifford to us now live from treasure island with details here. charles, understand you spoke with caltrans about this. >> yeah, earlier today i did. and they're keeping a close eye on what's happening in baltimore. certainly they're curious to know exactly what happened there. as you mentioned, bridges are very important part of life in the bay area and accidents in the past have happened here very similar to what happened. but caltrans says our bridges are pretty well protected against the ship strike, although they can't prevent every type of accident. >> there are a large toll bridges in the bay area. container ships don't pass underneath all of them. but every bridge has protections built into their foundations. well, a ship strike is rare. caltrans says that possibility
12:05 pm
was taken into consideration when the bridges were built or retrofitted. we have designed the bridge with this, the all of our bridges with this in mind. bart ney is a spokesperson for caltrans. every one of them has a protection device around it. that's a fender system that either is completely different than the braves foundations themselves or it's designed to absorb the energy and accidents do happen on november. 7th, 2007, the costco, goosen container ship struck the delta tower of the western span of the bay bridge. in that case, fenders around the tower foundation absorb the energy from the strike and prevented the bridge from suffering any major damage. here's part in a back in 2007 describing how the fenders worked. well, the fenders actually made up of rosa beams and these beams are. >> 8 by 10 by 14. they're made up of a composite plastic. they're designed to disintegrate and help absorb the impact. but caltrans does admit that they can't plan for every possibility in the event that a large ship struck and badly damaged a bridge. they say they would move quickly to protect the public and
12:06 pm
caltrans which shut down the toll plaza at the golden gate division of the chp would go right into operation and closed the freeway. so you would have access to the bridge. all right, back live now 2007 accident with a costco goose on highway was eventually determined that the bar pilot who is in command of that ship was at fault for that crash. >> but for now on treasure island, charles clifford kron, 4 news. thanks, charles. and won the baltimore bridge collapse. crime force sent out a breaking news alert to our viewers. so make sure you download the free kron. 4 mobile app. >> to get push alerts sent straight to your mobile device. 2, 3, 4, 5, new at noon. san francisco's annual for 20 event at hippie hill in golden gate park has been canceled for this year in a post on the event's website, organizers cited a number of factors including citywide budget cutbacks. challenges in the cannabis industry and the economy. organizers say they have been unable to secure the needed financial sponsorship

over showers. and we talk about the big shoe falling on friday. i'm gonna walk you through that in the weekend. coming up in just a bit. justine. >> dave, sounds good. thank you. we'll talk about some national news now is today. the supreme court is hearing arguments that could make it harder to obtain abortion medications as abortion. opponents are arguing the fda overlooked serious safety concerns when those drugs were approved to be sent through the mail. our washington correspondent trevor shirley has the latest. but supporters of abortion rights say this is just the latest attempt to restrict abortion access all across the country. >> the case centers on a drug called mifepristone. it's the most commonly used medication to induce an abortion several years ago. the fda made mifepristone easier to obtain by allowing patients to get it through the mail that expanded access to the drug, especially by patients in states that outlaw abortion after roe versus wade was overturned. but abortion opponents say the fda disregarded safety concerns over the drug. those
12:40 pm
putting pregnant women at risk. a ruling in favor of the abortion opponents bringing the case well, not only severely restrict access to the drug, but could upend the fda regulatory process for any drug. the biden administration says that would lead to chaos and is arguing for the court to lead the status quo in place. >> rolling back fda changes would unnecessarily restrict access to mifepristone with no safety justification. some woman could be forced to undergo more invasive surgical abortions. others might not be able to access the drug at all. and all of this could happen at the request of plaintiffs who have no certain injury of their own. the court should reject that profoundly inequitable result. fdc outsourcing of abortion drug harm to respondent, doctors forces them to choose between helping a woman with a life-threatening condition and violating their conscience. >> and the court will likely release its final ruling on the case later this spring reporting in washington. i'm trevor shirley.
