and the aftermath of this horrifying incident caught on camera. then a key update in a deadly double shooting in san francisco. >> what we're learning about the people who were killed and why sources say this is being considered a murder suicide. >> plus, nearly two years after the supreme court overturned roe v wade, the nation's highest court is considering the future of a drug commonly used for abortions. how it could affect people in states where abortion is legal, including california. >> live from jack london square. this is morning time two. the nine today is tuesday, march 26th. we're looking live at the san francisco bay, alcatraz, and the golden gate bridge. and speaking of bridges, we want to go to the east coast now, where we continue to follow the developing story on the search and rescue efforts in baltimore. >> a dramatic bridge collapse

happened there overnight. a container ship leaving the port lost power, then rammed into a bridge support pillar. >> right now we're waiting to get an update from the national transportation safety board, which is investigating this disaster. ktvu ali rasmus has been monitoring the latest developments and joins us with an update. ali. well, transportation secretary pete buttigieg is on his way to baltimore to get an update on the disaster. >> the national transportation safety board will investigate what caused a nearly 1000 foot long shipping container to crash into the francis scott key bridge, resulting in the collapse of that entire mile and a half long span. now some of the pictures of the damage are stunning. we have some video of it to show you. you can see the aftermath of this, a band of concrete and metal draped over the ship like a frayed ribbon there. officials say they are still actively searching for six people who are unaccounted for. they were all members of an overnight construction crew that had been hired to fill potholes on the bridge. two of those workers were already pulled from the water. one of them was

seriously injured. and aside from those eight construction crew workers and their trucks at this point, emergency officials do not believe there were any other vehicles on this bridge when it collapsed 130 in the morning eastern time, maryland's governor says the pilots made a mayday call to transportation officials moments before the ship crashed into the bridge's support pillar, alerting transportation authorities that there was a problem with this ship in the live stream. video of the disaster, you see the power go out on board as the ship as it approaches the bridge. and the governor says, because of that mayday call, transportation officials were able to hold back some of the traffic on the bridge before it collapsed. >> we're thankful that between the mayday and the collapse, that that we had officials who were able to begin to stop the flow of traffic so more cars would not add up on the bridge. the words that the key bridge is gone. it it still shakes us because for over for 47 years, that's all we've known.

>> now, this container ship named the dolly was headed from baltimore to sri lanka, flying under a singapore flag, danish shipping company maersk said it had chartered this vessel and it was carrying its cargo again. it's just under 1000ft long in size, and the company says the crew members on board this ship are all accounted for and not injured. they are still on board the ship, and that ship is still remains in that tangle of metal from what is left of that bridge. the mile and a half long bridge was built in the 1970s. it carries more than 11 million vehicles a year, spanning the entrance of baltimore's harbor, which is one of the country's busiest. the governor says there's no specific timeline on reconstruction right now, and that their exclusive focus is on saving lives. he expressed heartbreak for the victims and gratitude for first responders, again searching for six people unaccounted for construction workers who were on that bridge at the time of the collapse, filling in some potholes. and we are waiting any minute now to hear from the national

transportation safety board talking about the investigation into this disaster. >> gasia ali, thank you. when it comes to how that bridge that collapsed in baltimore compares to bridges in the bay area, there are some similarities. the francis scott key bridge in baltimore stands 185ft above the water in the center. it's about the same clearance as the eastern span of the bay bridge, which has a clearance of 190ft. the western span and the golden gate bridge both have the same clearance between the water and the bridge deck. at about 220ft. as for the number of commuters crossing every day, about 31,000 cars cross baltimore's key bridge daily. the golden gate bridge sees far more traffic. about 112,000 cars a day, more than twice as many as that crossed the bay bridge daily. some 260,000 vehicles. one key difference, though, is that the key bridge was mainly used to bypass downtown baltimore, not head straight into downtown as the bay bridge does. we hope you stay with mornings on two. for the latest on this developing story. we will have a live report from baltimore in less than 30 minutes. again, we expect to hear from the president and the and the ntsb

in the coming hour. we'll pop emerging deal. excuse me. details up on our website, ktvu .com. as soon as we get them. >> we have more information from san francisco about a husband and wife who were found, shot and killed. sources tell ktvu that this deadly shooting is being considered a murder suicide. officials have not confirmed that yet and haven't given details about what happened or possible motive for the shooting. but the police say the couple, in their late 40s, were found shot to death. >> i just heard a different sirens coming over a 15, 20 minute period, you know, different types. i think one was a the police cars, obviously, and then another was probably an emergency vehicle. sirens are a little different after the third time hearing that you're going, well, something's going on. >> family and friends posted photos and tributes on social media, and candles were placed on the steps of the couple's home. we're told they leave behind four adult children and one grandchild. neighbors say they're saddened and shocked and described the couple as, quote, nice and helpful people. >> the process is beginning in san jose to find a new,

permanent police chief. assistant chief paul joseph will become the acting police chief in san jose next week. he's been the department with the department since 1994. the city is already talking or taking feedback to decide who will take the job for good. current chief anthony mata is retiring to go to work for the county district attorney's office. the city manager says they have already been six community meetings to allow residents to speak. >> personally, i think it's time , maybe for us to consider someone from the outside that may bring a new flavor in, but at the same time, we're looking for somebody that's consistent, steady handed. accessible to the community. >> it could take several months to vet candidates. the city is still looking for feedback from residents and officers about what kind of person they need for the job. an executive recruiter is expected to officially start searching for candidates in a few weeks. the city of oakland is asking for help to clear out homeless encampments. >> the city council approved an agreement with caltrans to help

the city clear out encampments in the next two years, a city report says. the first encampment that could be cleared is near leet drive and hegenberger road, not far from oakland airport. we're working to get more information on what caltrans crews will do as part of any encampment clearing, and how the city would decide which camps to clear out. happening today, the antioch city council will consider adding stronger protections against eviction for renters. advocates of the just cause eviction ordinance say it would require a landlord to have a valid reason for eviction. other bay area cities, including san francisco and oakland, already have a just cause eviction rule. the antioch city council approved rent control citywide in october of 2022. >> all right. shaping up to be a pretty nice day across the bay area, so let's check in with rosemary oroczo. who's here now with a look at the forecast. hey, rosemary. >> yes. good morning to all of you. >> happy tuesday everyone. we do have a mix of sun and clouds out there. even another round of drizzle reported in some areas this morning as we continue with a similar pattern that settled in yesterday. a beautiful view

here over san francisco. our temperatures this morning on the cool side and especially chilly for some of our north bay locations where we are still in the upper 40s. areas like santa rosa and napa. if we go to the inner east bay 52 in livermore and closer to the water, 52 right now in hayward, our winds are generally light. we do have a little bit of a breeze in some areas, but you can see here from the 24 hour temperature change right over the north bay down by four degrees, santa rosa, petaluma and novato. so feeling a little bit of a chill in the air there. the winds are onshore through a hayward mountain view, palo alto, san jose. all reporting between 5 and 10mph. a breezy one out at sfo, 25mph right now along the coastline. half moon bay reporting 12. we will call for the mix of sun and clouds to continue for today as this ridge continues to strengthen. just a little bit more, keeping us dry and seasonal. for this time of year. the system here over the pacific will be pushing it out and

bringing us rain as early as tomorrow. here's a look at the future cast on this into the afternoon. a mix of partly cloudy, mostly clear skies. by tomorrow morning, we notice the onset of clouds here. maybe a little bit of drizzle closer to the coast in areas of the north bay and lake county. and then as we go into your afternoon, very spotty hit and miss light showers expected for the afternoon commute. getting into the evening hours, though, it begins to intensify. here's a look at 11:00 in the evening. it will become a steady, heavier rain. by then that will be the first round of rain we have several to come. here's a look through the weekend into sunday evening. another 1 to 2in of rain fall expected for the bay area by the end of the week. and for the sierra, more snow with anywhere from 2 to 3ft a possibility. there all this means is, if you do have plans to head to the sierra for the weekend, be prepared for the winter travel. if you're going to be here at home, perhaps celebrating an easter festivities, be prepared. we may

have some wet weather. the temperatures in and around the bay area for the afternoon today, upper 50s to mid 60s, so a pleasant one expected for most in your extended forecast here. calling for mostly cloudy skies to start tomorrow, followed by showers and then evening rain on thursday looks to be a little bit iffy. we'll have morning showers followed by mainly dry weather only to have more rain pull in on friday. could be windy at times. scattered showers expected on saturday right now it looks like we may be drying out in time for easter sunday. could be a bit breezy. back to you. >> all right rosemary, thank you. now this is a firm that's taking tiktok by storm, but it's actually about sunny weather. the firm is called sunshine guilt. take a listen. >> it is an abnormally beautiful day outside. but i'm tired. so now i feel this pressure to go outside and go for a walk and enjoy the weather while it lasts. i can't enjoy myself indoors now because the whole time i'm thinking that i should

be outside. >> i psychologist told the huffington post that sunshine guilt is the regretful feeling that settles in whenever you stay inside on a nice day. it can be especially upsetting if you assume everyone else is outside enjoying themselves, living their best lives. you know, fear of missing out. it can be made worse by social media, however, experts say what you see online isn't really what you get. they say if you need to stay home to recharge, that's inside. that's perfectly okay and you should let go of any guilt. i can't even believe that needs to be said. >> well, although i will. okay, so this never used to be an issue for me because i grew up, you know, where it was in the sunshine state, the sunshine state. but but but lately, sometimes people say all the time, and we don't have that many days. sometimes during this time of the year where there's sunshine. so i do feel guilty about not going out. >> it's like, i can't believe you're not out in this. >> yeah, i feel i feel bad about it. like sometimes i'll just take the dog out just to, you know, on the road to a park,

just to make sure that i get out and do it. but i never that's a recent thing. it's a recent development. it's interesting that we're seeing this story right now. i'm really kind of surprised, right. because i thought i was just feeling away because. right. because people kept saying it. oh, it's nice outside. you should get out after doing this shift. >> yeah. you know, when i need to sleep, i need to sleep. i don't care if it's shangri-la out there. if i need a nap, i need a nap. >> yeah, yeah, i feel you. okay just interesting though. yeah, yeah, yeah. >> anyway, coming up here, a presidential hopeful is in oakland today. set to announce a running mate next on the nine. why? even getting on the ballot will take a lot of effort for robert f kennedy jr. and why an oakland woman is believed to be his choice for that number spot two t wendy's orange dreamsicle frosty, this takes me back man. it's like taking a trip down memory lane. i didn't know they sold dreamsicles on memory lane. for the flavor that takes you back, get wendy's new orange dreamsicle frosty. it all starts with a chevy truck. chevy silverado with the turbomax engine

stone, which is one of two pills used in medical abortion. the fda has reduced restrictions on the pill in recent years, making it available for use up to ten weeks of pregnancy. back in 2016, making it easier for doctors to prescribe through telemedicine and having it delivered to patients in the mail that came in 2021. last year alone, the pill was used in about two thirds of all abortions nationwide. we welcome grace howard, a human rights professor at san jose state, to sort of deepen the conversation. thanks for being with us. >> thank you so much for having me. >> let's talk about the fact first. i'll mention here that arguments wrapped up about half an hour ago or so. some say the

nine justices appear to be set to preserve access to the medication mifepristone. can you describe what you've learned? just this morning? and also what's at stake? >> so it's always difficult to predict what the court will do. but based on the oral arguments from this morning, it was pretty clear that most of the justices had some skepticism of the claimants arguments. right. they need to be able to make an argument that they have been harmed or injured because this is an approved medication by the fda and these arguments have always been very tenuous, and the supreme court, really they went in on that during these oral arguments. most of the discussion this morning was about standing, whether or not they even really should have been able to bring this case, now, depending on what the supreme court decides to do, the stakes here could be really high. there was some discussion this morning about the comstock act, which is a law from the late 1800s that makes it a crime to ship anything through the mail that is considered obscene, and that would and did include contraception and abortion pills

. so potentially this means nationwide abortion ban. >> california's governor, gavin newsom, was one of the first governors, and likely the loudest in saying our state is going to preserve abortion rights. what effect could that have? here in california? i think many people think, well, we live in california. we would still have access. is that really the case? >> so people in california could have legal access to abortion. however, if it is decided that the fda wrongfully approved these medications, it would mean that californians would not be able to use medication abortion. and this is currently the most popular way to terminate a pregnancy, about 60% of pregnancies are terminated using abortion pills. and so without that, people would be forced to go to clinics, something that's not necessarily accessible for everyone. >> what do you think about what many people see as a continued assault on reproductive rights with people turning to the supreme court for such action? >> this has to be looked at

within the context of an attack on reproductive rights and on bodily autonomy. more broadly, there is another case going before the supreme court next month. and they discuss some of this a little bit today about whether or not, emergency rooms are required to give life saving treatment to people in states where abortion is banned. if that treatment involves abortion . and so the stakes here are really high, you know, we can look at this also in conjunction with what is happening in the states, right? states passing various restrictive laws, bringing cases to courts, federal courts, it is truly, deeply concerning. >> you're a professor of human rights there at san jose state. i'm guessing you get to work with mainly people in their 20s and 30s for the most part. how does that younger group view what's happening today? >> most of my students think that what's happening right now is pretty ridiculous. even the ones that, you know, maybe don't personally think that they would ever choose to have an abortion.

they still see that this is a departure from institutional norms. this is a departure from science, and that this is ultimately a major infringement on the rights of other people. so they don't see this as reasonable at all. >> you talk about it in your classes, i'm guessing. >> yes. yes, absolutely. >> okay. all right. i'm sure you're at the beginning of a very long day in the classroom. we'll let you go. professor grace howard of san jose state, thanks for joining us. >> thank you so much. >> of course, we'll note that the decision should not come down until late june or so. coming up here on mornings on to the nine. they have one of the most dangerous jobs out there. now. there's a call to protect firefighters against more than flames, the push to change what they wear and why. then preparing for a storm. that doesn't mean rain, hai or snow. the expected effects

people. later today, the city council will consider a resolution to prevent any city employee from using resources to detain people seeking gender affirming care, like hormone therapy or surgery, the council member behind the proposal says the move is in anticipation of possible laws in other states that would criminalize this kind of care and to prevent the city's resources from being used to help law enforcement in those other states. >> this is the sort of thing that you hope is never necessary. you hope that it never gets triggered. you hope that it's never that there's never anybody coming to sacramento who's potentially

fleeing law enforcement simply for the sole reason that they were looking for health care, so i, i hope it's never needed, but i do think it's very important for us to be realistic. >> supporters say sacramento is already a sanctuary city for immigrants, and this proposal would establish those same protections for transgender people. >> officials in contra costa county want to strengthen the county's 25 year old industrial safety ordinance. >> it was groundbreaking at its time. we have amended it multiple times since then to always stay at the forefront of process safety, and we are going through that process right now to see what potential gaps lie in there that can make our refineries safer. >> last night in martinez county, state and federal officials took part in a town hall meeting focusing on safety at local refineries after several high profile incidents, they talked about how they responded to those incidents, which included flaring and the air quality board is also updating its rules and protocols . >> but our world needs more teeth and we've committed to go back to the rule and try to do

other take other measures to make sure that flaring is not the frequency of flaring. the magnitude of the flaring does not increase and actually starts going down. >> the mayor of martinez says her city has also been improving emergency communications, with a new system for sending text and email alerts to residents. >> farmers can now use new technology that could drastically reduce their operating expenses. the faa has granted an exemption to allow the use of drone swarms in agriculture. the groundbreaking move will allow fleets of drones weighing 55 pounds or more to fly together. a texas based drone manufacturer pioneered this innovative approach. the method of seeding and spraying crops at a fraction of the traditional cost is expected to benefit both farmers and the environment, tech analysts say the growth of artificial intelligence is having unintended consequences. >> one is it's straining the power grid. tech companies behind these ai programs need massive data centers to help train their software, and this requires a lot of electricity. >> so you can have chatgpt, for example, be able to talk to you

like a human, a human being. we had to first train it to be able to do that. so that requires a lot of electricity, making it possible for you to just go on your phone and ask chatgpt anything that also needs electricity, because it has to be on standby 24 over seven to help manage the growing demand, some tech giants are looking for ways to generate their own energy, which could include a push for nuclear energy plus renewable power like solar and wind power. >> astronomers say the earth is likely to experience solar storms over the next two years. every 11 years, the sun's magnetic field flips, meaning its north and south poles switch positions. solar activity changes during that cycle, and it's now near its most active. astronomers say solar storms can affect many things, including the electrical grid, gps satellites and undersea cables. >> way back in 1989, there was a major power outage that affected the northeast, and that was due to the effect of a solar storm. >> astronomers say another possible effect of a solar storm

is the northern lights may be visible in some parts of the u.s, coming up here on mornings. >> on to the nine. a stunning bridge collapse in baltimore has rescue workers in the water right now searching for several people who are missing. we'll update this developing story next. what happened just before the crash and the early effects of the disaster. this as we wait to hear from the president, who is expected to address the situation, live in the coming minutes. then, after a car versus pedestrian crash that killed a family of four in san francisco's west portal neighborhood, there's been a lot of focus on the design of the intersection where it happened, what early reports indicate about whether or t it's an

it looks like we're on tap for a pretty nice day weather wise across the bay area, but things will be changing a little later on this week. we want to get back to that developing story out of baltimore. we've been following for you on mornings on two, and that is where dive teams have been deployed to rescue people in the water following an accident overnight, a bridge collapse there. fox's rebecca castro is live from the scene with the latest update from there. rebecca >> andre. search and rescue crews say they're looking for at least six people at this hour. they fear plunged into the water when that bridge collapsed. these were construction workers

who were working on filling in potholes on the bridge when it went down. but there were also other concerns. there could be more drivers in the water to the francis scott key bridge, plunging into the patapsco river in baltimore on tuesday after officials say it was struck by a large container ship. the crash causing multiple vehicles to fall into the chilly water. the city's fire department says some people have been found while the search continues. for others, the preliminary investigation points to an accident. >> we haven't seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack. >> the incident unfolded around 1:30 a.m. local time. video shows a ship called the dolly appearing to crash into one of the bridge's support beams, causing parts of the structure to snap. the owner of the vessel says it was headed to sri lanka. all crew members, including two harbor pilots, have been accounted for, with no reported injuries as the channel is only 150 yards. >> so it's really tight through there. but something had to be

massively awry for them to run into the bridge. >> the bridge spans the patapsco river, which leads to the port of baltimore, a major shipping port on the east coast. vessel traffic into and out of the area is suspended, as officials say the focus remains on finding those still missing. >> we're going to continue to work in partnership with every part of government to do everything that we can to get us through the other side of this tragedy. >> president biden has been briefed on the collapse and is set to give remarks any minute. andre rebekka's, we try to understand more of what happened here. >> we understand that eight construction crew workers, as you said earlier, were on that bridge at the time. so the two people that were rescued were part of that team. >> yes. there were two people that were rescued early this morning. one of those was uninjured and the other one was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. and as we understand, those two people

were part of that construction crew. >> and the mayor of maryland said that once the word got out that the ship was losing control , people blocked cars from entering the bridge. do we know of any people beside the construction? workers were on the bridge at the time, or are the vehicles in the water right now, which, according to a report, the vehicles belong to, the construction crew, fell into the water, were there any other people that were affected by this that were driving across the bridge at the time? >> that is something that we've been pressing officials here on the scene for answers on. and what we've been told by the maryland secretary of transportation is they just don't know that right now. if there were any other vehicles on the bridge outside of that construction crew. >> now, we understand that the transportation secretary, pete buttigieg, is heading to that area. any information yet on, on, on when he's expected to get there today. >> we don't have that information. we do know that he is planning to come out here. and we also are, as i mentioned,

we're waiting to hear from president biden, but we're also waiting to hear from the national transportation safety board. they're staging actually right behind me and getting getting ready to give a press conference as well. and we expect to hear more updates from them on what could have possibly caused this horrific tragedy. just a stunning story to wake up to this morning, especially, you know, people here in the bay area watching it because we drive across so many bridges in our daily lives. >> rick castro reporting for us live there in maryland. rebecca, thank you for that update. and as rebecca mentioned, we are waiting for president biden to speak on this incident. any minute now. you're looking at live pictures from inside the white house right now where the president could be speaking here within the next half hour or so. we will, of course, bring that to you live. if it happens during this newscast. and you can stay up to date anytime@ktvu.com and the fox local app as well. here in the bay area, the first report by san francisco officials on a crash in west portal that killed a family of four finds the design of the intersection is not to blame, according to the chronicle. >> the report by the san francisco municipal transportation agency says the intersection has several improvements designed to protect

pedestrians. it was march 16th. the 78 year old woman hit a family of four waiting at a bus stop. san francisco's da brooke jenkins says that her office is waiting for more information before making any charging decisions happening today. >> a call to keep firefighters safe from cancerous chemicals in san francisco. so there's now a push to get new fire gear. ktvu james torres explains what city leaders in san francisco have planned. >> san francisco city supervisors are calling for a change to new fire turnout gear for its firefighters. they say they've learned that the fire gear is full of carcinogenic pfas chemicals, which are often linked to cancer. the city's fire department reports more than 300 firefighters have died from cancer since 2006. a recent study from the national institute of standards and technology says during routine wear and tear of their gear, firefighters are much more exposed to these pfas forever chemicals than the average person. the city's fire union president says he's planning a rally today to not only bring

awareness to san francisco, but for firefighters across the country. >> it's very close to our skin, you know, we're in super heated environments, over time, the material can break down. and then, you know, we're finding that it's coming directly into our bodies and so, you know, that's just the latest piece of, information that we've received at that rally, city supervisors will call for legislation requiring the fire department to find and use new turnout gear that are entirely pfas free. >> union president floyd rollins says right now, six san francisco firefighters, himself included, are testing out prototypes to meet that standard. city supervisor will hope to make that official as soon as possible, hoping that the fire department can have equipment that is pfas free. by the summer of 2026. they say that rally will begin on the steps of city hall starting at 12:00 noon. reporting in san

francisco, i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> what a feather. federal agents raided homes in los angeles and miami, owned by music mogul sean diddy combs. homeland security agents conducted the search and investigation yesterday, reportedly looking for laptops, flash drives and other evidence that could tie combs to alleged crimes. he's been accused several times of sexual assault and trafficking, and many recent civil lawsuits. >> there's an awful lot that's not clear, except sean diddy combs had an awful lot of armed people invading his house in los angeles and miami. there have been rumors like this for years, for decades, about this kind of behavior from him, i don't know whether they're true or not, you know. yes. he could be an unpleasant person. that is that is widely available on video. a lot of really successful people can be, innocent until proven guilty. one would hope. >> it was a couple of hours of

she did not have access to the video, they started attacking her. >> they grabbed me here and dragged me around the wash house and punched me. >> wilde called oakland police when officers arrived. they cited one of the women but did not make any arrests. the owner of the laundromat says she does not understand why at least one of the women was taken into custody. >> if someone gets assaulted like that, i always thought it's maybe a felony at least taken in to be questioned. not like detained for questioning and then let go. >> now, wilde has worked at that laundromat for 27 years, but has not gone back since the incident, saying she's afraid the women will return. >> oaklanders came together to help a woman who was left with nothing after her car was towed. jade burnette and her two children had been living in the car but found shelter during recent winter storms. that's when her car was towed, according to oakland police, because the registration had

expired, fees racked up once the car was in storage. opd paid to get the car out through its victim tow fund. but once burnette went to pick up her car, she found a whole new set of problems. i cried because there's pieces missing off of my car. >> all this was it was just hanging. you can see down below. i watched how they they picked the cars up with the forklift and they were shaking. these cars. >> she says two of her tires were flat. the driver's side window was smashed. that's when others who'd seen our report on burnett's plight last week jumped in to help the owner of a local tire shop donated to tires . a local reverend is allowing her to park at his secured church parking lot in west oakland. >> some bay area schools are struggling to hire enough staff for their on campus kitchens, according to the bay area news group. such workers are more in demand than ever in california. in 2022, california became the first state in the nation to provide free breakfast and lunch to all school children, regardless of income. the state has allocated more funds to cover the additional cost of preparing the meals for the 20

2223 school year, a statewide survey found 12% of all school staff. actually, we're going to toss right to president biden making a comment now on the bridge that was struck by a container ship, a cargo ship, this morning. let's listen in in baltimore this morning at about 130, container ship struck the francis scott key bridge, which i've been over many, many times commuting from the state of delaware. >> either our trainer by car. i've been in baltimore harbor many times, and, the bridge collapsed, sending several people and vehicles into the water, into the river and multiple us coast guard units, which are stationed very nearby. thank god, were immediately deployed along with local emergency personnel. and the coast guard is leading the response to the port where representatives from the federal highway administration, the fbi, the department of transportation, the army corps of engineers, as well as maryland officials. in baltimore, police and fire are all working together to coordinate an emergency response . officials at the scene

estimate eight people were unaccounted for. still not still were unaccounted for. that number might change. two have been rescued, one without injury and one in critical condition, and the search and rescue operation is continuing for all those remaining as we speak. i spoke with governor moore this morning as well as the mayor of baltimore, the county executive united to both united states senators and the congressman and my secretary of transportation is on the scene. i told them, we're going to send all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency. i mean, all the federal resources. and we're going to rebuild that port together. everything so far indicates that this was a terrible accident. at this time, we have no other indication, no other reason to believe there was any intentional act here. personnel on board the ship were able to alert the maryland department of transportation that they had lost control of their vessel, as you all know and reported. as a result, local authorities were able to close the bridge to traffic before the

bridge was struck, which undoubtedly saved lives. and our prayers are with everyone involved in this terrible accident and all the families, especially those waiting for the news of their loved one. right now, i know every minute in that circumstance feels like a lifetime. you just don't know. it's just terrible. we're incredibly grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rushed to the scene, and to the people of baltimore who want to say, we're with you. we're going to stay with you as long as it takes. and like governor said, your maryland tough, your baltimore strong, and we're going to get through this together. and i promise we're not leaving. here's what's happening now. the search and rescue operation is our top priority. ship traffic in the port of baltimore has been suspended until further notice, and we'll need to clear that channel before the ship traffic can resume. the army corps of engineers is on the spot, and is going to help lead this effort to clear the channel. the port of baltimore is one of the nation's largest shipping hubs,

and i've been there a number of times as a senator and as a vice president. it handles a record amount of cargo. last year, it's also the top port in america for both imports and exports of automobiles and light trucks. around 850,000 vehicles go through that port every single year, and we're going to get it up and running again as soon as possible. 15,000 jobs depend on that port, and we're going to do everything we can to protect those jobs and help those workers. the bridge is also critical to for travel, not just for baltimore, but for the northeast corridor. over 30,000 vehicles cross the francis scott key bridge on a daily basis. it's virtually that well, it's one of the most important elements for the economy in the northeast and the quality of life, my transportation secretary is there now, as i told governor moore, i've directed my team to move heaven and earth, to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge as soon as humanly possible. and we're going to work hand in hand with

the support of maryland to support maryland in whatever they ask for. we're going to work with our partners in congress to make sure the state gets the support it needs. it's my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge, and i expect the congress to support my effort. this is going to take some time. the people of baltimore can count on us, though, to stick with them at every step of the way until the port is reopened and the bridge is rebuilt. you know, we're not leaving until this job gets done, not leaving until then. so i just want to say, god bless everybody who everyone harmed this morning and their families. and may god bless the first responders who many of whom risking their lives and, i'm going to the reason i'm not going to take a lot of questions. there's remaining issues that are open that we got to determine on what's going to happen in terms of the rescue mission and the like. >> but i'll do you plan to go to

baltimore, sir? >> and if so, how quickly i do and as quickly as i can. >> you said the federal government is also going to pay for the repairs. i'm just curious. this was a ship that appears to be at fault. is there any reason to believe that the company behind the ship should be held responsible? and then also, you mentioned that be. >> but we're not going to wait for that happen. we're going to pay for it to get the bridge rebuilt and opened. >> what did you make of your decision not to attend this meeting this week? >> oh, i don't want to get we got plenty of time to talk about ralph. >> you mentioned the port. the port? can i ask about cars? about the port? >> president biden, speaking several hours after a disaster unfolded in baltimore. in the overnight hours, a ship lost power, hit one of the bridge supports on the francis scott key bridge. that bridge collapsed in dramatic fashion. we've all seen the video many, many times now. there are sort of twin operations right now. number one, there are six people still missing unaccounted for. many of them believed to be bridge workers who are repairing potholes. at the time that incident happened. the search is on for them. the president also spoke at length about reopening that bridge and getting the port

back up and running. also very critical. >> yes, he's talking about the federal government is actually going to be heavily involved here in pain to get the bridge. you might have heard there rebuilt. they're not going to wait yet for the company that owned the ship that ran into the bridge and caused this damage. they're going to get it up and running. by the way, the president is saying the bridge is an important economic engine for that. that area there, as well as the port which is shut down right now for the time being until further notice. while the search operation continues to find the six remaining people that have been missing, the construction workers that have been missing right here. but the port operations, while that remains shut down at the moment, of course, this is going to be a big impact because 15,000 people have jobs in that area. but of course, the search for the survivors here is also just as important as well. the president says he will be visiting the scene but gave no date on when that will happen. but we do know that that transportation secretary pete buttigieg is also heading to the scene right now. >> we'll stay on top of this developing story, bring yo more

ball and let the law handle his former interpreter with a new interpreter at his side, ohtani spoke briefly to reporters during a news conference at dodger stadium. ohtani did not field any questions during his 12 minute address, and said he has never bet on any sports and didn't know what his former interpreter had lost millions of dollars from gambling. >> up until a couple of days ago, i didn't know that this was happening. the first time i knew about this gambling. it pays. gambling was during the, after the first game when we had team meeting in the clubhouse. >> ohtani accused his former interpreter of lying to him for years and stealing millions of dollars. ohtani says authorities and his lawyers are investigating the theft, and he says he is cooperating with the investigation. today's the final

game of a brief two game bay bridge series. >> giants will host the a's at oracle park. first pitch is at 505. last night, the giants beat the a's in the first game of the exhibition series 4 to 1. the giants hit three solo home runs, including a pair from back up catcher tom murphy. meantime as the a's keep pushing to move to las vegas, attendance at their games keeps dwindling. >> it's rough. bring them over to our side. the only bay area team now probably won't be going to very many games, but i'm not going to be a giants fan rooted in oakland, right? >> what's dinner like at their house? >> hahaha. >> the a's lease at the coliseum expires at the end of the season . we don't know yet where the team will play next year. ace could stay in oakland, maybe play in salt lake city, even sacramento. >> yes, they may come to sac. yes, yes, they may come to sac. so yes, i'm excited about that too. i don't have to drive this far. >> the regular season begins thursday, as will host the cleveland guardians. giants travel to san diego to take on the padres, one of las vegas's oldest casinos is in its final days. >> the tropicana is closing

after more than 60 years on the strip. it's set to close in anticipation of the hotel and casino being torn down as part of the plan to build a ballpark for the a's, we got a look inside the casino as it prepares to shut down. some people were there to take it in one last time. >> definitely expected to see more people out here to see its final days right now it feels eerie, like it feels like an imitation of what it used to be. a place that should be, you know, full of life and vibrance, just kind of slowly decaying until it inevitably falls. >> the tropicana was once one of the most important and popular hotels on the strip. back in vegas's first heyday in the 50s and 60s, the hotel and casino will close for good in just about a week. >> a business card signed by steve jobs from 1983 was sold at auction for more than $180,000. it is believed to have broken a world record for the highest price ever paid for a signed business card. organizers say it was authenticated and sold in pristine condition. the authentication process includes an examination of the item, an
