>> cnn's breaking news welcome to lead. >> i'm phil mattingly in for jake tapper today in this afternoon, we are live in baltimore, maryland, where just behind me, just over my left shoulder is the scene of today hey, is horrific bridge collapse. we just got an update state and federal officials on the ground here who confirmed there is still an active search and rescue operation underway in the river. now it's not clear how many people are still missing. official said earlier today but six people were unaccounted for, although a baltimore city council member told cnn just moments ago, at least one body has been pulled from the water. now this all started just before 130 eastern this morning when according to maryland's governor, a cargo ship issued a may day call then the crashed into baltimore's francis scott key bridge. president biden says, all signs point to this being an accident, something state and federal officials have repeatedly said the same video showing lights on the ship flickering on and off just before it veered off. course in smashed into the bridge. maryland transportation officials are heard on radio traffic just moments before impact, scrambled to clear cars what are you guys on the south side? what are you guys on the north side? hold on. traffic only khyber is there's a shift of has just lost their steering so he had under control. we got out all traffic, all interlude traffic stop at this time once you've gave here, i'll brad the workers on key bridge and then stopped the outer loop this is the whole region as well. now sart sorry, whoever everybody, the whole really is just the last >> biden pledging earlier today, the federal government will do everything possible to get the port reopened and the bridge rebuilt as quickly as possible, including footing the entire bill >> we're going to spend 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. it's my intention federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge and i expect to the congress to support my effort >> we have teams and reporters were looking into every single aspect of this catastrophe. we start off with cnn's pete muntean, who's here with me it's been interesting listening to federal and local officials talking about the investigation which is on the way, not a ton of details including whether or not there's a black box and will they get access to that black box? that will be so critical for them? and right now, the search and rescue operation is continuing and good can hear the helicopters overhead, but investigators are really trying to give that search and rescue operations some room, which is really slowing down this initial part of the investigation. although we are getting some really early indications about what may have led to this crash that led to this bridge collapse investigators have new questions about the final moments before the crippled container ship dali veered off course and into baltimore's key bridge, the 911 calls to stop traffic frantic as steel and concrete plunged into the potassium go river below its higher key bridge in the harbor. i advise hold on. traveling from committing through the bridge advisors in the entire team for its has fallen into the harbor >> officials say the dalai set sail at 12:28 a.m. under the command of a port of baltimore pilot who boards large ships as they navigate the 700 foot wide channel security video shows minutes before the impact the lights on board, the dalai shut off twice, then the bow swung right, briefed by the coast guard, maryland congressman dutch troopers berger says the crew experienced power issues and a loss of propulsion with alarms on the bridge blaring. the preliminary investigation points to an accident. we haven't seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack. >> key to investigators will be the ships black box mandated by international law, a voyage data recorder captures parameters like headings, speed, and water depth, as well as the condition of the engines, thrusters, and rudder the recorder also captures crew conversations on the bridge. key to investigators probing what caused the crew to apparently lose control. >> it will be critical. it's so critical piece of our investigation, which is why we have a recorders team here are the latest data shows the dali was traveling at a speed of eight knots, roughly 90 miles per hour asked enough to trigger a disaster that could have been much worse, undoubtedly that made a call from the ship, saved countless lives. i mean, there have been collapsed as a bridges in the united states where there wasn't made a call and obviously many vehicles went into the water and dsb jair, jennifer homendy says it's too early for her teams to verify those early reports of propulsion >> issues on board. the dalai also too early to find out if there were any structural issues with the bridge. although maryland governor wes moore insists it was completely up to god, it's been fascinating just how much still needs to be learned. federal, state, local, you were talking about coast guard helicopters. we continue to see flying over us a lot more work to go. and governor wes moore making clear, still a search and rescue effort, pete muntean, keep us posted as you learn more. anytime, i want to go now to tom foreman from cnn, tom walk us through how this all went down very early this morning. we know that the ship pushed away from the dock around 12, 30 or so now, bear in mind this is about as toll, not quite as tall as the chrysler building. if you stood around in like this three football fields in length, about a half football field wide. and it weighs a tremendous amount empty. it's more than 100,000 tons. so we know that after it took off, guided by two tugboats and headed down toward the briggs and the bridge. should one of the first key visual signs, the lights flickering off on the ship? as it approached the bridge, will loop that around. you can see it again at this point, it was lights flicker off there are still car is going across the bridge. everything seems more or less normal as far as we can tell, that was at 01:24. next big sign, the boat is closer, the ship is closer. look at this big plume of black smoke coming out of it here is that part of just some kind of emergency operations or is it related to what's going on? we don't really know entirely. we just know it's an unusual sight. xia, giant black plume of smoke coming out of there. and i want you to notice this moving right here right now, because this is getting very close and what you're seeing here now at 126 is the last vehicle to go across here that's apparently a semi-truck that was passing right about the time that it was coming in, 12653. and then look at this one you see the full collapse happening here so that's when it all came together in the end for whatever else was going on before there this part happened in a very rapid few minutes, fill and even though the boat was only moving about nine miles an hour, that was more than enough with that kind of weight and forced to have this impact, phil back up a little bit. >> hi guys >> are you okay with that box out? >> the can i ask and watching how the ship was actually moving and not knowing how it's supposed to move, it certainly was not in a good position. do we know about the exact course the ship was supposed to be off? >> yeah, we do actually, because when you think about the way that ships move, it's very much like cars on a road. they're not using all this water out here. they have very specific paths that they would follow very much as airplanes follow specific paths in the sky. so when it left the dock up here and started out this way, guided by tugboats job out here. it was basically following write down the proper channel according to the maps that they're supposed to follow. it should have gone right about here, but you'll notice that if i clear that away, the issue in part is that there's a little jog here. if it had kept going this way it would have just gone beyond that why it didn't go there. that's what we don't know >> one of the many unanswered questions we hope to be answered in the days and weeks ahead by investigators, tom form. and as always, thank you very much. just moments ago, transportation secretary secretary pete buttigieg joined a news briefing near the collapse side. he discussed the path to rebuild it. baltimore's key bridge. he also acknowledged that the extreme emotional toll of this accident on the community she also recognized that this is an excruciating de for several fantasies who went to last night having it be a normal night and woke up today to news that no one wants to receive >> baltimore county executive johnny olszewski is here with me. i want to start at that point what the community has been through. we just heard governor wes moore talk about the response both from those from baltimore, from maryland, but also outside as well. what's your sense of how the community is doing right now? >> yeah. i mean, anytime you have a tragedy like this, it is very personal and is very painful. and at the local level, we are seeing and hearing from not just our first responders who are doing heroic actions but also our community members who are hurting right now. both those family members who have been immediately impacted by the collapse, but also communities that have relied on an have connections to this bridge. it's been a very difficult time and i'm grateful for the ways in which people are coming together support each other at this point, it was striking here with transportation, transportation secretary say this is no ordinary bridge. this is i want to get it right here basically cathedral of american infrastructure. it's what you know about the skyline. i drove over it on my way down in new york just yesterday the question right now, wes moore making very clear, the governor still a search and rescue mission. i think you look at the temperature of the water and just how much time has elapsed. the worst fears i think is what initially comes to mind. is there still a real belief that of those that are unaccounted for, they could be found alive as long as we have any glimmer of hope, we're going to continue to do this as a search and rescue mission. we have federal state, and local resources all working very closely together at all levels i've talked to the governor, i've talked to the president. we have our local resources at play, and we want to make sure we exhausted every possible option to find the remaining six individuals we believe that were on that bridge when it collapse. >> when you look at when you've seen the video, for those who maybe don't understand just how one busy this port is, just how much of irregular thoroughfare it is what most concerned you about what you saw it. do you think this is a one-off, just an accident or their broader concerns here >> i mean, initial reactions is that this was clearly an accident anytime you have this kind of tragedy that affects lives directly and certainly livelihoods for months and potentially years to come. it's concerning but that's why we're supported this thorough investigation we hope and we expect a lot of these answers will come out in the days and weeks ahead. we're here to provide our full support to make sure we have those answers to address those questions that are out there. >> you spoke to president biden earlier today. what was his message? his >> message was were here and i got to tell you how relieving it is and what what a relief to have a president who has your back? but when you're communities up against the wall and facing this kind of crisis to say, i'm here to make sure that you have all the federal resources you need to reopen the port to rebuild the bridge, and to have whatever you need in terms of search and rescue missions. so i just was grateful that he reached out and for his overwhelming commitment to this community here, we heard from center of in-car and the dean of the congressional delegation talking about the fact that the immediate concern obviously is those that are on accountant search and rescue mission, but very shortly thereafter, you're thinking about this is a major thoroughfare for transportation. there's millions of cars that go back and forth as bridge. also the port is kind of a central artery >> two supply line issues as well. what kind of support is going to be needed? you have a sense right now of dollar figure of how long it's going to take to get things back up and running. >> i think all that will come >> known as we sort of do the investigations, see how it will it will take to clear out the the shipping channels again, i think our first priority is the search and rescue mission that is top of mind, but we know that we also have to quickly also open up those shipping lane channels so that we have our port reopened and then ultimately address the transportation challenges of having a bridge replace. so this is not a short-term answer. this gonna be a long-term solution where we need all of these federal, state, local partners and the community at the table. but we're ready to do what we have to do it to respond to this absolutely heartbreaking crisis. >> a question about it, federal officials making clear and i think community around as well, it will be here as long as it takes baltimore county executive, johnny olszewski. thanks so much for your time. appreciate it. >> we'll see you in an hurt from the families, the workers that were on the bridge when it collapsed, what they're saying about this awful scene? that's ahead >> plus >> a structural engineer called into some of the worst tragedies in recent memory, including 911, florida's surfside

right there, devastation, the collapse of the francis scott key bridge in baltimore, that scene is just over my left shoulder. if you look behind me, are were a couple of hundred yards from the base of the bridge? sure. bet a bridge that was urgently shut down after a ship ran in to the base of the bridge, collapsing it in mere moments in just a moment, i will be joined by the city's mayor of just participated in a news conference with federal and state and local officials who will be walking over to our camp. cameras shortly ahead of that discussion. i want to start though with alan kill schumer. he's a structural engineer. he's investigated other disasters disasters, including the collapse of the pedestrian bridge at florida international university, 911 at the pentagon, and the oklahoma city bombing. we appreciate your time and your expertise, sir, can i just ask him off the top? >> you watch >> the video of this horrific scene. the bridge collapsed so quickly. so rapidly should the bridge have been able to withstand even a ship at this scale running into it well, the answer is, bridges and buildings are designed for certain forces. all right? if the forces that are exerted on those structures are greater and what they're designed for then after a bit, the factors, the safety long or help what happened to this bridge was there was a guy named newton and he said that force equals mass times acceleration. so you had a large mass, even though it was only going 8.10 miles an hour, it was moving it hit the bridge in a spot where it's like if i came up behind you and knocked your knees out from underneath you from the back. you're going to fall down is nothing you can stop you from falling down. that's what happened here. >> the bridge used to be supported between two points you take one point out, it no longer is appointed and the next place is double that dimension away again, it can't possibly survive that type of impact in that location it's a really critical point, in particular because people were talking about looking at the safety record of the bridge >> you think >> back to the bridge collapse of minneapolis back in 2007 as well. what you saw doesn't make you think this had anything to do structurally with the bridge other than the ship hitting it at the absolute one? horst point >> i don't know anything about the condition of the bridge, but the federal highway department and other agencies are maryland highway department have all kinds of various inspections that have to be done on a regular basis. those inspections would show if there are flaws and their determination nations made as to whether there serious dangerous, et cetera, if they're bad enough things get shut down. i believe that this appears to be from what you see, only the wrong thing happening in the wrong place with the ron force? >> is there a way to protect. i mean, given those dynamics which seem won one in 1 million to some degree, is there a way to protect against something similar as they go through the process of rebuilding this bridge over-simplified once you understand the maritime channels, you could around the peers of the columns of the pedestals, whatever you want to call the verticals you could build a large big diameter concrete thing that wouldn't allow anything to hit those columns that would hit the concrete thing first, if you look at the chesapeake bay bridge over the chesapeake bay, it has some of those things to stop things from hitting a much smaller votes. you'd have to put a very large concrete coffer dam around the outside way outside of these columns to stop a vehicle like this is shipped from actually hitting the peers themselves in a moment where there are a lot of questions still an answer to a lot of theories out there. this is really important information valuable at that. we appreciate your time, sir. as always. thank you. >> no sweat. thank you >> as i noted, the baltimore maire headed over

>> welcome back to the lead live near the scene of the horrific bridge collapse in baltimore. parts of the key bridge falling into the river early this morning after his ships slammed in to the bridge that river and that bridge critical thoroughfares for the city of baltimore and the surrounding area, the baltimore beltway. it is a critical port, but it's also where millions of cars go back and forth throughout the region is incredibly important element of this region in its entirety, people to just the transportation secretary saying is essentially a cathedral of infrastructure, saying it's critical to the city skyline now, the region is in shock to some degree, but also in the midst of both a search and rescue operation and an investigation into what went wrong. there has been shocked by the dramatic images. there's also been a reaction, including pro sports teams from the baltimore orioles, quote devastated by the news we've also seen news from the baltimore ravens saying the grateful for the first responders and local leaders who are on the scene. the washington commanders bring out a statement saying, quote, our hearts go out to those affected their families and all of baltimore in a collective message from the washington wizards, wnba's mystics, and nhl's washington capitals, all standing and quote solidarity with the city of baltimore. well, i'm joined now by the baltimore mayor, brandon scott. sir, we appreciate your time, mr. mayor. i know it has been one heck of a de there's no question about that >> first. and most important question when you talk to members of your community how are they doing right now? >> what people should again, this is an unthinkable here. speak of a tragedy >> when you think and live in baltimore >> on this bridge, as iconic we don't know a time. many of us, this ridge is older than me without looking through that harbor are looking up into the harbor in sienna iconic bridge. of those videos hurt because we think about our residents that will own that bridge. those folks that were actively searching for right now and their families who are holding them on the hope that they'll walked back into the door later on >> the governor wes moore making very clear as explicitly as he could, it is still a search and rescue operation. we see the coast guard helicopter captors that are still flying over us and across. we see the boats still just a couple of hundred yards behind us in the water and the bridge. what news have you been given about those who are unaccounted for how many and whether or not anybody has been recovered at this point? >> listen, we are still looking actively for six folks. i've been across the water with a my fire department with the coast guard with the county fire department with the states so we have dive team to the police departments. everyone is working here together from president bonding and his team secretary buttigieg, govern a more myself, the county decorative. this isn't full team effort to find these individuals in help of baltimore in his community rebuild. but today, our focus is right at and rightly so on those families, on those individuals that were actively searching for you mentioned the six that are unaccounted for our reporting is that they were working on the bridge which at the time do we know anything about kind of what they were doing and why they were still there when there was such an urgent and i think an externally impressive effort to keep people off the bridge in the worst moment. well, >> listen, efforts were made and we have to be very clear. there was some heroic efforts made by first responders to stop extra an ongoing traffic to go onto that, bruce, they save lives those individuals who we are actively looking for, were simply out there doing work to improve transit for every other person who takes this bridge consistently over 30,000 a day, we have to honor them by doing in them right. and looking for them and bringing bringing them back home. so that their families can have these rebuilding effort. >> there's no shortage of support right now. we just saw you're with federal, state, local leaders. the danger and the risk in moments like this is people move on. it. this will take a long time to recover. do you have any sense of what your community good. he's going to need in this process going forward, we'll go through that. we'll go through that process, but no one's going to move on >> i've heard >> directly from president biden, everyone in the world saw him say it he's going to be here to see it through his administration is going to be here to see it through. i know that our governor and our city and our county and our other state and congressional leaders are going to be he here to see it through. this is baltimore. we overcome challenges and we overcome folks doubting us all the time. we have to be reminded that this key bridge it's named after francis scott key, who wrote the national anthem. sitting up least not too far with a bridge is behind this because folks were taotie. this country in doubting this city that is not something that i would do if you're a betting person, don't bet against baltimore. we will build back better and stronger together quickly because i know you have no shortage of things going on in the i first met you at the white house when the president months ago, probably years ago. your conversation with him today, what was that like? >> well, this listen well, you know the president very well. it's just about the president name woody is a honest in the best president in my lifetime and someone who understands them importance of not just this bridge with the city and who has a true, true love for making sure that the federal

maryland, but also from federal and state officials, but also that that search and rescue mission is very much still underway. mr. governor, we have seen that the coast guard helicopters are flying by every 20 or 30 minutes. we know that there are shifts in the water divers is as do we have any sense about who is missing? and their potential whereabouts at this point >> thank you so much. and i can tell you that the support that we've received not just across the state, but from around the country and around the world has been truly overwhelming and the thing that we know is that for the, their, their eight individuals who we knew were directly impacted at the at the time of the collapse of one is currently in shock trauma receiving treatment for their injuries. another one i've actually had a chance to speak with and we still have six that are unaccounted for. and so it's not just that our heart goes out to their family members. that we are praying for their safe return. and this is still very much an active search and rescue campaign that we are using every resource at our, at our disposal. to be able to help address. but in addition to that we know that in this time that the maryland is going to focus on keeping this a search and rescue mission and try to return, return these individuals back to their families. >> respecting the privacy of a personal phone call. but can you share any of the details from the conversation you had with the individual? who was on the bridge and was recovered on harm >> yeah, it was it was a pretty remarkable conversation where, as he said but for the grace of god, that he was there he talked about the moments before and how, and how close that he physically was by being captured because when you saw the moments between when the crew called for a may day and the moments that the bridge actually collapsed we're talking we're talking seconds. and so his ability and the fact that he is safe, the fact that myself and the lieutenant governor had to had had the opportunity to spend time with them it really is pretty miraculous when you consider what happened, the speed and the intensity of which had happened last night? >> so often i feel like using the word miracles hyperbolic to some degree, certainly not in this case. >> did he say did they see >> the ship given how fast things were happening, did they actually see it approach? >> yes. so it's in the individual actually shared share with me that he did see the ship that it was coming and that's the thing for for all these brave workers who are working in challenging conditions. they saw ships happening coming every single night. that was a normal routine but when you see the size, the enormity of that kind of vessel coming at the speed that it was at. and even the slightest adjustments that you saw. here means a difference between a successful passage and catastrophe. and unfortunately, what we saw last night was a, was a catastrophe and so the back the ships were coming, was not an unusual occurrence for our workers who are bravely working, working in those conditions but what happened last night and the catastrophic events that happened last night is really what happened when you saw that breakage of power and the inability to share the ship yeah. >> i think bear scott put it best. we said these people were working to fill potholes to make transportation better when this all happened, can i can ask just quickly before i let you go for the community, what do you need? it made clear you've got federal support, you've got state, local support, everybody around you, as well as private sector support as well. what do you you need right now in this moment what we need >> right now is for the community to keep their priors coming continue to pray for these families continue to pray for the individuals, continue to pray for for for baltimore for the state of maryland. we say we are we are maryland tough and we are baltimore strong. but the prayers that are coming from all around the country and all around the world they are felt and they are going to be necessary. this is going to be a long journey and it's going to be an expensive journey. it's going to be an important journey that we don't just rebuild, but we truly build back in a way that reflects the power and the, and then the certainty of this community. and so we're, we're grateful for our federal partners, for our local and state partners, for the private sector, for philanthropy, for everybody who continues to be engaged and continues to pray for baltimore a long road ahead. >> no question, but i search and rescue >> mission very much still underway. governor wes moore, we appreciate it. thank you >> thank you all >> there's much more to come

collapse. we're just spoke to maryland governor wes moore who confirmed six people are still missing helicopters can hear them often in the air behind me, divers are in the water searching for those people. there'll be much more from the scene here in baltimore ahead. but first, we want to turn now to our health lead the majority of us supreme court justices appeared this morning skeptical of a nationwide ban on a popular abortion pill now the high court today hearing arguments centered on mifepristone, one of the two drugs widely used to terminate early pregnancies. it's also utilized to expel remaining fetal tissue after a miscarriage. today's arguments not only brought hundreds of protestors on both sides of the issue is also an incredibly rare event in which the us food and drug administration and the pharmaceutical industry very much on the same side of things. this is the first abortion-related hearing or was the first abortion-related hearing before the supreme court's since the conservative majority eliminated the constitutional right to abortion nearly two years ago, cnn's paula reid is here to walk us through the legal arguments and cnn's make terrel will give us the medical facts and data paul, to start with you, is it too early to say this is shaping up to be a win for abortion care advocates based on what we heard this morning. >> well, based on what we heard this morning, fill, it appears the justices are gonna be unlikely to restrict access to mifepristone for now, a during the oral arguments, justices across the political spectrum appeared skeptical that this group that brought the lawsuit even has standing or the right to due south. this is a group of conservative medical officials and advocates all anti-abortion advocates who argue that they may at some point have to offer medical assistance or treat someone who's had complications from mifepristone and that's why they want to restrict this broaden access to the drug. but the government push back on that saying, look, you haven't actually suffered a harm. there's no imminent harm and there's also, as some of the justices pointed out as well, federal religious exemptions that you can avail yourself up. now there's another issue that justice gorsuch pointed out. it's concerned about allowing a small lawsuit to balloon into some national journal issue. so we expect this decision in june, which of course, you know, fill it will be the heart of the presidential campaign season >> yeah, plenty of politics involved, at least outside the supreme court. meg, can you explain to people how commonly is this drug use? here's how does it actually work? >> yeah, it felt increasingly commonly we just got new data showing that a medication abortion accounted for 63% of all abortions accounted for in the formal health care system in 2023, there were more than 1 million abortions in that year. so that's more than 600,000 people poole who access this medication. it's a regimen of two drugs, mifepristone, the one at issue here in this case, as well as miser postel. this has been approved by the fda since 2000, up to ten weeks of pregnancy it is 95, to 98% effective >> it's also >> used, as you mentioned, for care for ms carriages. now, in terms of the safety which was a lot of what's being discussed in this case, studies have shown that there are 0.3% risk of major complications using medication, abortion fill. so this is a drug that's been on the market for 24 years in the united states. and the record researchers say, is strong >> it's critical research has these arguments and we await a decision in the months ahead, paula reid, meg tirrell. thank you both very much and joining us now president and ceo of planned parenthood, alexis mcgill johnson. we appreciate your time this morning. i want to start where we left off his case brought by a group of anti-abortion doctors that claimed mifepristone is a danger to women. i want you to listen tau erin hawley, describe things after the oral arguments she's a senior counsel arguing against krista >> without question, the fda's actions had made taking chemical abortion drug's less safe >> today, i >> argued before that state supreme court on behalf of doctors and medical associations who appointed this, these harms firsthand. >> the fda >> violated federal law and its duty to keep women say which us is your organization or health care providers that you work with documented any persistent >> or dangerous side effects of mifepristone? >> no josh and look, i mean, the reality is that we know through multiple studies at the fda has conducted had been privy to that. mifepristone has been used safely and effectively by over 5 million people in the united states alone for over 20 years 70% of plan and parenthood patients choose to use mifepristone for their abortion care in i think what the i happen to be in the courtroom today, which was an incredible honore to hear the argument and also to really see how much the justices we're struggling with. the very hypothetical nature of the plaintiffs argument for standing and how that would balance with a remedy that would in an essence effect all people across the country, not just in states where abortion bans are currently restricting access to mifepristone. but in states like new york and california and illinois that many people across the entire country have come on, come to rely on medication, abortion four, there their health care. and i i think it was very, very surprising even now, and jarring quite frankly to hear the plaintiff's attorney tried to make an argument once again, that they would be her plaintiffs would be subject to a harm when in fact, it is the abortion bans that have resulted from the dobbs decision that in fact are really harming the patients. and also, i believe the providers as well so when you walked out of the courtroom earlier today, it seems like you were confident that this case will break your way when the decision comes >> i felt confident on the arguments. i felt confident with the questions and the skepticism that was that was raised as i just put, and i also really reminded that this is the same court that delivered dobbs. this is the same court that i was a conservatives super majority that was appointed by former president trump, who is himself proclaimed interest in seeing a national abortion ban. and that continues to concern me and i think concerns should concern us all well i think the lack of standing that seemed to be a through your questioning and the lack of real and any discussion around the merits because the science i think was so convincing should give us some measure of security, but that only is when we are in a system and a structure you know, with a, with a court that quite frankly, i think has has has demonstrated that it is willing to go outside of those various notions in its rulings we only have about ten seconds left, but you mentioned the presumptive republican nominee. do you feel like this issue will be a determining factor in the 2024 campaign? >> oh, it already is josh i mean, we we have seen abortion rights be on the ballot since the dobbs decision in earnest nationally, as you know, every state where we have had abortion valid initiatives, reproductive freedom is one and we will continue to fight to make sure that happens alexis mcculloch johnson, we appreciate your time today. thank you >> you wael here in baltimore back here in baltimore, the search and rescue operation now, in our 15 after the collapse

francis scott key bridge key. francis scott key bridge collapse earlier today, six people still believed to be missing the search and rescue mission still underway. cnn's sandi freeman is with me now and danny, you spoke to members, family members of workers, who were on the bridge when it collapsed. what are they saying? >> yeah. i mean, in essence, fill those family members who knew a number of people who are on that bridge when a collapsed are stressed, they're very upset as you can imagine, that is still waiting for answers. we've been hearing all of these press conferences and still like you said, six folks still missing at this point. but we do have a little bit of information about what they may have been doing up there. first off, we know that they were working for the company known as broader builders. it's a local construction company, just about five miles up the road and i should say that brown or builders has declined to comment on this particular story so far. but the first one they spoke with, she said that she had to immediate family members who are on that bridge that morning that are still missing. she didn't want to share their names when i spoke with her. but she said that her uncle worked there for many, many years. i loved working there, loved being a part of the construction community. two other one when we spoke with said that one of their family members actually was one who survived, but they said that even though he was released from the hospital, still just not okay. because you can only imagine the emotional and mental distress from being a part of what happened early this morning. now, i should note that the secretary transportation, you've been speaking about it already noticed that the people that were up there on that bridge overnight, they were not talking, they were not fixing major infrastructure problems. they were not rebuilding this bridge. they were doing every day jobs of filling in potholes, doing repairs to make drivers lives easier. so again, just between that knowledge of what they were doing and just the family members and their distraught nature at this time. it's a tough moment for this community. >> tough >> moment, critical reporting as well, doing jobs that matters so much to the community. danny freeman, we appreciate your time as always, my friend. thank you. and cnn is continuing coverage, the bridge collapse in baltimore
