Investigators also determined there are 13 damaged containers aboard the cargo ship that are being inspected for any potentially hazardous materials."There is minor sheening on-scene. Booming has been ordered and is staged but will not be placed until search and rescue and dive operations are complete. The amount of potential oil spill is 1.8 [million] gallons of marine grade diesel," according to the document.During a White House press briefing Wednesday afternoon, Vice Adm. Peter Gautier, deputy commandant for operations for the U.S. Coast Guard, said the cargo ship was loaded with 4,700 containers, 56 of which contained hazardous materials."Most of these things are things like mineral oils and, even though they're hazardous, we've determined that there really isn't any kind of threat to the public," said Gautier, adding that the two containers that went into the water did not contain hazardous materials.



Two bodies were found in a submerged truck, Maryland State Police said Wednesday.ByKevin Shalvey and Bill Hutchinson ABCNews logo-Wednesday, March 27, 2024 8:02PM

BALTIMORE -- Two bodies were recovered from a red pickup truck found in the water near the middle span of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, Maryland State Police said during a press briefing.The two men were located by divers shortly before 10 a.m. Wednesday, according to Roland Butler Jr., superintendent for Maryland State Police. The truck was submerged in approximately 25 feet of water, he said.Since the collapse, crews have been searching the water for six people who are now presumed dead.The two victims found Wednesday were identified by police as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, a native of Mexico who lived in Baltimore, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, a native of Guatemala who lived in Dundalk. They were both construction workers, authorities said.One was identified by a driver's license in his pocket and the other by fingerprint, authorities said.Just hours before the Tuesday morning commute was to get underway, the crew of a massive cargo ship leaving Baltimore harbor lost propulsion and control of the vessel, causing it to crash into a support column of the Key Bridge, triggering a catastrophic collapse of the 1.6-mile long span and sending vehicles and people into the water, officials said.The transportation disaster unfolded about 1:35 a.m., prompting a major emergency response from Baltimore police, firefighters and the U.S. Coast Guard as authorities estimated that up to 20 vehicles went into the water along with several workers who were part of a maintenance team fixing potholes on the span, officials said."I can tell you, our sonar has detected the presence of vehicles submerged in the water," Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace said at a news conference early Tuesday.Maryland Department of Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said the depth of the water in the area where the crash occurred is about 50 feet.What we know about the missing workers-We learning more about those who have died as the search continues for the remaining missing workers in the Patapsco River.The workers were part of the maintenance crew repairing the asphalt on the bridge.Miguel Luna, who was originally from El Salvador and was a married father of three children, and Maynor Suazo Sandoval, an immigrant from Honduras, according to Court Appointed Special Advocates, a group that works with immigrants.The group said Luna is a married father of three children, who has lived in Maryland for more than 19 years.Other workers who remain unaccounted for are believed to be from Mexico and Honduras.Imagery from underwater drones shows "an abundance of twisted metal and debris" from the collapsed Key Bridge, making it unsafe for divers to enter the water, according to a new assessment of the situation from the Department of Homeland Security obtained Wednesday by ABC News.According to the report, "one truck and trailer" has been recovered from the water and a vehicle remains hanging from the metal structure of the collapsed bridge.Investigators also determined there are 13 damaged containers aboard the cargo ship that are being inspected for any potentially hazardous materials."There is minor sheening on-scene. Booming has been ordered and is staged but will not be placed until search and rescue and dive operations are complete. The amount of potential oil spill is 1.8 [million] gallons of marine grade diesel," according to the document.During a White House press briefing Wednesday afternoon, Vice Adm. Peter Gautier, deputy commandant for operations for the U.S. Coast Guard, said the cargo ship was loaded with 4,700 containers, 56 of which contained hazardous materials."Most of these things are things like mineral oils and, even though they're hazardous, we've determined that there really isn't any kind of threat to the public," said Gautier, adding that the two containers that went into the water did not contain hazardous materials.Gautier also said there was no sign that the container ship was leaking fuel or was taking on water.At the same White House press briefing, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that while there is no estimate yet on how much it will cost to rebuild the bridge, he said it "will not be quick, easy or cheap."'We're with you,' Biden tells Baltimore residents.During a press conference Tuesday afternoon from the White House, President Joe Biden said he had authorized federal resources to be used in the search and rescue operation."We're incredibly grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rushed to the scene. And to the people of Baltimore, we want to say, we're with you, we're going to stay with you for as long as it takes," said Biden.The president echoed local, state and federal officials who said investigators have found no evidence linking the incident to terrorism. Biden called it a "terrible incident and accident."Biden pledged that the federal government would pay to replace the bridge, which was built in the 1970s at the cost of $110 million, the equivalent of $500 million in 2024 accounting for inflation.President Joe Biden delivered remarks after a cargo ship struck Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse.Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said at a news conference Tuesday morning that rescue crews are doing all they can to save lives."To the victims of this tragedy and their loved ones, all our hearts are broken," Moore said. "In the face of heartbreak, we come together, we embrace each other."The FBI, which arrived at the scene an hour after the incident, confirmed that no link to terrorism was involved, according to Bill DelBagno, special agent in charge of the FBI's Baltimore field office.Power issues reported before crash-Emergency officials said eight people were initially unaccounted for and two were rescued. The University of Maryland Medical Center said it treated one patient rescued from the bridge collapse and that person had been discharged from the hospital. The other person rescued was not injured, authorities said.Two of the construction workers who were on the bridge and survived, including one who ran from the bridge and the other who fell into the water and swam ashore, according to the latest internal Department of Homeland Security briefing obtained by ABC News.According to a Coast Guard memo obtained by ABC News, a harbor pilot and an assistant aboard the cargo ship reported the power issues that prompted multiple alarms on the bridge of the vessel and loss of propulsion. The pilots were operating the ship, not the ship's captain, according to Wiedefeld.Biden said local authorities were alerted of the pending disaster and closed the bridge to traffic before the crash, "which undoubtedly saved lives."Officials said the container ship was moving at a speed of 8 knots, or about 9 mph, when it struck the bridge. They said the disaster could have been much worse had authorities not stopped cars from going onto the bridge.Moore described the crash as "unprecedented.""To hear the words that the Key Bridge has collapsed, it's shocking and heartbreaking," Moore said.All workers on the container ship were accounted for, according to the Coast Guard memo.Moore said there were no structural issues with the bridge, saying it was "fully up to code."It remains unclear what caused the loaded 984-foot container ship, Dali, a Singapore-flagged vessel, to crash into the bridge about a half hour after it began its intended journey out of the second-largest seaport in the Mid-Atlantic via the Patapsco River, under the four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge, named after the amateur poet who wrote "The Star-Spangled Banner" in 1814.The National Transportation Safety Board was sending a team to Baltimore to investigate the crash.The White House said that after learning of the incident, Biden convened senior members of his team for a briefing on the bridge collapse. During the briefing, the president directed his team to ensure all federal resources be made available to assist in the ongoing search and rescue efforts, White House officials said.Previous deficiencies found on cargo ship-Danish shipping company Maersk chartered the Dali cargo ship, a spokesperson for the company told ABC News in a statement."We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected. We can confirm that the container vessel 'DALI', operated by charter vessel company Synergy Group, is time chartered by Maersk and is carrying Maersk customers' cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard the vessel. We are closely following the investigations conducted by authorities and Synergy, and we will do our utmost to keep our customers informed," the Maersk spokesperson said.The Dali cargo ship had two deficiencies since it was built in 2015, according to records from the Electronic Quality Shipping Information System (Equasis).The most recent deficiency was given on June 27, 2023, during an inspection in the port of San Antonio, Chile. The deficiency was for "propulsion and auxiliary machinery" concerning gauges and thermometers, according to Equasis. The other deficiency was given in 2016 for "structural conditions" concerning a damaged hull "impairing seaworthiness."The records show that the last inspection of the container ship was on Sept. 13, 2023, in New York.Dramatic security video captured the vessel striking one of the main support columns holding up the center cantilevered section of the bridge, causing the span to break apart in several sections and sending twisted metal into the water onto the bow of the Dali as black smoke began to pour from the vessel.Multiple vehicles plunged from the bridge at the time of the collapse, the Baltimore City Fire Department said.Just minutes before the crash, the video showed traffic flowing on the bridge, but the traffic almost disappeared before impact.After reviewing traffic cameras, Maryland transportation officials confirmed "no vehicles [were] transiting the bridge at the time of the incident," according to the latest internal Department of Homeland Security briefing obtained by ABC News.The pilot who was at the controls of the ship "is currently undergoing post-accident Drug and Alcohol Testing," the briefing said.The Dali "remains impaled in the bridge," the document said, adding that several shipping containers with undisclosed cargo fell into the water. There is hull damage above the water line of the vessel, but the ship is maintaining watertight integrity," according to the document.Had the crash occurred a few hours later at the height of the morning commute the bridge would have likely been packed with commuters. The bridge is part of the heavily traveled Interstate 695 linking Baltimore to Washington, D.C. An estimated 11.5 million vehicles cross the bridge annually, or about 30,000 per day, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.The bridge, which opened on March 23, 1977, had just celebrated its 47th anniversary.The crash shut down the seaport, which serves more than 50 ocean carrier companies whose vessels make about 1,800 annual visits to the port, according to state officials.ABC News' Victoria Arancio, Alex Grainger, Sam Sweeney and Felicia Alvarez contributed to this story.

Dispatch audio from Key Bridge collapse sheds light on timeline of incident-WBAL logo Updated: 5:07 PM EDT Mar 27, 2024-Blair Young-Digital Editor

BALTIMORE —The dispatch calls from the Maryland Transportation Authority Police show just how close the Key Bridge collapse came to being an even worse disaster.The transcripts of the audio from early Tuesday morning show the police only had a few minutes to shut down the highway as the bridge was on a collision course.A call goes out just before 1:28 a.m.:Dispatch: "I need one you guys on the south side, one of you guys on the north side to hold all traffic on the Key Bridge. There's a ship approaching, it just lost their steering, so until you get that under control, we got to stop all traffic."An officer reports that he stops all the outer-loop traffic from entering the bridge shortly after 1:28 a.m.:Officer: "I'm holding traffic now. I was driving but we stopped prior to the bridge so I'll have all outer-loop traffic stopped."Shortly after that call, an officer asks about the construction crew on the bridge.Dispatch: "Is there a crew work on the bridge? ... There's a crew up there. You might want to notify whoever the foreman is, see if we can get them off the bridge temporarily."Just before 1:29 a.m., an officer declares the inner-loop of the beltway closed and says he will check on the crew.Officer: "All inter-loop traffic is stopped at this time ... Once you get here, I'll go grab the workers on the Key Bridge."Less than 20 seconds later, the initial call of the collapse comes in.Officer: "C-13 dispatch. THE WHOLE BRIDGE JUST FELL DOWN, start whoever, everybody, THE WHOLE BRIDGE JUST COLLAPSED!"Another officer would confirm the collapse, and dispatch attempts to confirm if traffic was stopped. Officer: "That is correct."Dispatch: "Do we know if all traffic was stopped?"Officer: "I can't get to the other side; the bridge is down. We're going to have to get somebody on the other side, Anne Arundel County, MSP, to get up here and stop traffic coming north down on the Key Bridge."

National--Baltimore bridge collapse raises many issues for Transportation Secretary Buttigieg-March 27, 20248:02 AM ET

Transcript-DEBBIE ELLIOTT, HOST:The collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge is raising a variety of issues, from the safety of critical infrastructure and the impact on supply chains to the challenge of reconstruction. Joining us to discuss these issues is the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. Secretary, thank you for joining us.PETE BUTTIGIEG: Good morning. Thank you for having me.ELLIOTT: So by now, many of us have seen the dramatic images of the Key Bridge collapsing into the river below. What can you tell us about the investigation into what happened? BUTTIGIEG: Well, as you said, the country has seen the images. I can't describe to you what it was like to be at the water's edge, looking at the proportions of that wreckage. And first and foremost, our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives. The Coast Guard and NTSB are independently investigating, and I can't speak to any details of the investigation.What I can say is that going forward, we need to do everything to help Maryland rebuild that bridge and reopen that port. And that's what the president has committed. And it's what I emphasized as I spent time yesterday with Governor Wes Moore, who is providing outstanding leadership with compassion as well as clarity here. This port is the top vehicle handling port in the United States. There are other ports on the East Coast, but nothing like it in terms of its capacity. So this presents an immediate supply chain challenge until we can get that channel back up and running. And of course, the bridge is something about 30,000 vehicles depend on every day. So we're marshaling all of the federal resources that we can bring together to help Maryland get that bridge back up.ELLIOTT: You know, President Biden has said the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge and that he expects Congress to support that. Given how sharply divided Congress is, particularly in this election year, is that a realistic promise? BUTTIGIEG: I think, look, the president's hope and expectation is that this will be a bipartisan issue, and there are some things that just can't get caught up in left and right, Democrat and Republican. This deserves to be one of them. And if that sounds optimistic or naive, I would point out that the infrastructure package itself is something that passed with bipartisan support. And there's a reason why the single biggest category in that whole package was roads and bridges. If that was possible in 2021, then I believe it's possible in 2024. We're already mobilizing all of the resources we can put together short of what requires an act of Congress. But for anything that does require an act of Congress, we're going to be appealing to members of both parties to make sure the funding is in place. Again, this isn't just for Baltimore. The whole country counts on the shipping that goes through that port. And that 695 bridge connection is important to the entire region as well.ELLIOTT: Do you have a timeline for how long reconstruction might take? We spoke with a civil engineering professor, Ben Schafer, earlier today, and he said it could take years.BUTTIGIEG: Well, the original bridge took about five years to build, but we want to do everything possible to make sure this takes place as quickly as possible. There is no exact precedent for this. There was the Minnesota bridge collapse. That was not because it was struck by anything. It collapsed because of design issues in 2007. That one took about 14 months to reconstruct. But again, it's too soon to know how similar or how different the engineering challenges are going to be. What we do know is that in addition to the project of getting that bridge back up and running, we can't wait for the bridge work to be complete to see that channel reopen. There are vessels that are stuck inside right now, and there's an enormous amount of traffic that goes through there that's really important to the entire economy.ELLIOTT: We only have about 30 seconds left. Does this accident have the administration looking at new ways to secure America's critical infrastructure? BUTTIGIEG: Well, one thing we're paying a lot of attention to right now is resilience. That's another feature of President Biden's infrastructure package - the first time ever that we've had a dedicated program to make our infrastructure more resilient, whether we're talking about issues like this, seismic issues - we're retrofitting bridges around the country to be better withstanding earthquakes or climate issues. And that will continue to be a focus going forward.ELLIOTT: Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, thank you for your time.BUTTIGIEG: Thank you.
