we will begin in baltimore where the urgent search and rescue mission has shifted to recovery efforts following yesterday's tragic bridge collapse. last night the united states coast guard called off the search for six missing people who were on the francis scott key bridge when it was struck by a containership after that vessel had lost power. those individuals all part of a construction crew who were filling potholes on the bridge directly above where the ship hit, they're all presumed dead. though none of the victims have been publicly identified, they are all believed to be immigrants from el salvador, guatemala, honduras, and mexico. we're also learning that moments before the collision the ship's crew issued a mayday call that allowed authorities to stop traffic before impact. likely saving many lives with just seconds to spare. >> hold all traffic on the key bridge. there's a ship approaching that just lost their steering, so until we get that under control, we've got to stop all traffic. >> c13 dispatch the whole bridge just fell down. everybody, the whole bridge just collapse

jay gray is in baltimore for us. what new have we learned? >> reporter: well, they've pulled the voyage data recorder and are getting snapshots of what was going on before and during the time that ship slammed into the francis scott key bridge and it crumbled into the waters below. we know that alarms were going off at the time. they've also pulled audio recordings, which they are working to analyze and clear up the muddled sound on that. the ship lost power and propulsion just minutes before the accident, and we had heard that. now we know that investigators are spending a lot of time, i'm told, inside the engine room on the ship right now. they are back on the ship for a second day. they want to figure out how that loss of power, how that loss of propulsion happened, and why black smoke was billowing from the stack of the ship just before impact. we also know that they continue to interview the crew on board, 21 crew members, most from india. they are still living on the ship, by the way, and they are cooperating fully with this investigati

is congress now having a conversation about getting money to baltimore? >> i would say initial conversations, katy, but i have a lot of questions here. i have done some initial reporting on this since secretary buttigieg made those remarks just a short time ago. here's what i would tell you. the infrastructure law created this emergency relief fund and put into it $100 million a year from 2021 to, i believe, 2026 or 2027. that emergency relief fund is for the rebuilding of roads wrecked in disaster or through other circumstances. federal loads, by the way. this bridge would clearly qualify. now what i'm not entirely clear about, i'm looking for clarity, and hopefully someone will see me and give me clarity, whether this can be used for cleanup. buttigieg makes interesting points, there are a long line of projects that need this money. there are horrible disaster, but there are lesser disasters around the country, and those need repair as well. number two, how much will this cost? i don't know the answer to that. i know in 2007 when the bridge collapsed in
