3:27 am
this is a cbs news special report. i'm tony dokoupil in new york. back on your screen, coming on the air with more on the catastrophic bridge collapse in baltimore because officials are about to hold a news conference as the sun comes up in baltimore and we get a better picture of what remains of the francis scott key bridge. that is the cargo ship striking the pillar and the ship striking the bridge around 1:30 a.m. local time. the bridge is now in the water, and the baltimore fire department says seven, up to 20 people may be in the water now. rescue efforts are underway. we're hoping to leadership more from this news conference. it's underway now. let's listen in. >> we began to receive indications that a ship may have struck the key bridge. we got further information through moultiple calls that portions of the key bridge had actually collapsed. at about 0150 hours our first
3:28 am
unit arrived on scene and reported a complete collapse of the key bridge. we were also given information at that time that there were likely multiple people on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that as a result, multiple people were in the water. we were able to remove two people from the water. one individual refused service and refused transport. essentially that person was not injured. however, there was another individual who has been transported to a local trauma center that is in very serious condition. at this time, we have multiple air assets from the maryland state police as well as the baltimore police department as well as multiple marine assets from around the region, including baltimore city, anne arundel county, baltimore county, as well as multiple local and state police agencies,
3:29 am
national resources police, bpd special options unit is in here, maryland state police is here. we have multiple resources. we are still very much in an active search-and-rescue posture at this we will continue to be for some time. we have a large area that we have to search. this includes on the surface of the water, subsurface, as well as on the deck of the ship itself. we believe at this point we may be looking for -- we may be looking for upwards of seven individuals. that's the latest information we have. however, what i will say is the information that i'm giving you right now is as of right now, what we know right now. this is a very large incident. it involves a very large footprint, multiple agencies are operating, therefore, information is subject to change
3:30 am
as we get more intel and as our crews work through the morning. othe over the next eight to 12 hours, you'll continue to see our air and maritime assets functioning out on the water and in the air above. we need to do damage assessment of the ship itself before we can board that ship, and we need to continue our subsurface search, which is including different types of sonar. we have side scan sonar. we have other sonar capabilities here. we have under water uavs that we're working with, and throughout the night, we've also been working with infrared technology, both from the air and on the water's surface. i'm going to wrap up here with just saying this continues to be a search and rescue operation. it continues to be a very dynamic operation with multiple local, state, and federal resources involved.
3:31 am
with that, i'm going to turn it over to our mayor, mayor brandon scott. >> thank you. thank you, chief. everyone, this is an unthinkable tragedy. we have to first and foremost pray for all of those who are impacted, those families, pray for our first responders, and thank them, all of them working together, city, state, local, to make sure that we are working through this tragedy. this is an ongoing active research that we're having right now. we're going to continue as you heard from chief wallace for as long as we have to be doing it, we'll be doing it. but we have to think about the families and individuals impacted, folks who we have to try to find and save. this is what our focus should be on right now, and we're going to continue to work in partnership with every part of government to do everything we can to get us through the other side of this tragedy. and with that, i'll turn it over
3:32 am
to the county executive. >> thank you, mayor scott. i think we all awoke this morning to an unspeakable tragedy. as the mayor indicated, we know that there will be families, individuals impacted be i think regardless of what happens the rest of the way out. so i would just echo the mayor by imimpraying for those impact. they've been conducting not only search -and-rescue operations bt planning for additional ones as the sun comes up. the work they do cannot be understated. i want to thank them for all they're doing and what they'll be doing in the hours and days ahead. we know we have a long road ahead not just in the search and rose skew but in the fallout following this. we have our attention on the search-and-rescue efforts currently, and we're here
3:33 am
alongside our partners in the city saying they have our full support, just like we want to thank our state partners for the resources they've offered up as well as the federal partners who have already reached out. the mayor and i talked to the governor. we heard from the secretary of transp transportation. we thank everyone and, again, this is an active situation and we want to thank the chief and the teams for all they're doing. with that, i'll turn it back over to you. >> thank you. we'll do some q and a right now. >> chief, can you tell us where the crew of the ship is? you also mentioned, too, that two people were rescued. who made the first 911 call? and there were reports there was a crew on the deck of the ship working at that point. can you confirm any of that? >> the latest informing we have on the crew of the ship is
3:34 am
they're still on board the ship. there's been comments between the ship and the coast guard. so as part of the overall operation, we communicate with the coast guard on the ship. your other question? >> who made the first 911 call? >> i don't know who made that call. >> are there other workers on the deck of the bridge at this point? we heard that information. can you confirm this? >> we're being told there were workers on the bridge. we have yet to confirm that. we'll work eta to get that information. >> about how many cars were on that ship, last question -- on the deck of the ship at the time of the collapse? >> i don't have a number. i can tell you the sonar has detected the presence of vehicles submerged in the water. i don't have a count of that yet. >> chief, you mentioned of the number of individuals you're looking for. we heard as many as 20 individuals. can you painting a picture of
3:35 am
how many actually fell into the water, how many you might be able to rescue and how many migh vehicles? >> i'll start with the last one. as far as the number of vehicles, i don't know the number yet. as far as the number of people between seven and 20, that's been a dynamic count throughout the morning given the fact we haven't nailed that number down. we do believe at least seven are involved in that. at least seven. >> that fell into the water. >> yes, ma'am. >> i know you said the crew was accounted for with the coast guard on deck. do we know if any of the crew members may have been in the water? >> we do not. [ indiscernible ]
3:36 am
>> so, we'll be guided by our dive teams. we will determine what the temperature of the water is. the other issue we have out there, this water is current influenced, so right now we think the tide is coming back in. that adds a bit of a challenge to us also. we can certainly dive in these conditions, but we have to take a lot of factors into play, the fact that there may be trauma involved. i have been in the water an extended period of time. also, remember, we're battling darkness. it's quite possible we have somebody there we have not seen yet, and as they work closer to the debris field, you know, they'll obviously make those determinations. but we're going to rely on the experts, which our dive masters that are here, our dive team, to tell us when they believe we've reached that nonsurvivability rate. >> thank you. >> yes, sir. >> chief, was there any indication there was a problem on the ship? was there any attempts at a
3:37 am
mayday or anything so far early on that could point to you that something went wrong? >> we do not have that information. with regard to the investigation, i would refer that to law enforcement. my focus since 1:40 this morning has been that rescue operation. >> so far there's been no caution of any kind of emergency dispatch came from the ship beforehand? >> i have no information about that, man. >> were you able to talk to the pilot? the pilot on the vessel? >> the pilot on the vessel? >> yeah. >> we have not been able to talk with the pilot on the vessel. we have not interacted. >> can you tell us about these victims? >> i don't have -- [ indiscernible ] >> i don't have age and gender on either. one patient refused service. really, they weren't injured. the second patient, however, was
3:38 am
seriously injured and is at an area trauma center. >> are you confirming there's at least seven? >> we don't know that they're part of the seven. the patient is injured seriously enough we've not been able to debrief the patient. >> the number, did that come from a witness? >> no, that was initial information we got as we were arriving on the scene. that number, as i said earlier, has fluctuated. that seven has been a consistent number. >> how many agencies are here assisting right now? >> oh, wow. dozens. i mean hopefully hartford was here, d.c., anne arundel, and a lot of the agencies are here by
3:39 am
virtue of fact they may have specialized equipment. >> you have been listening to a news conference with james wallace, fire chief, baltimore city fire department, who told us they have pulled two people from the water so far, one in good condition, the second now at a trauma center nearby, hurt badly enough they have not debriefed him. they've also been able to locate vehicles in the water using sonar, the chief said. we're joined now by former ntsb chair robert sumwalt. thank you for being with us. what stood out to you? >> tony, at this point, as they indicated, they're really at the search-and-rescue phase. that will have to come first before any ntsb or coast guard investigators get involved in this. >> you know, robert, they describe the situation as dynamic. they're dealing with tides. it's a search and rescue operation. there's a surface area they're looking at, a subsurface area they're looking at, and also the
3:40 am
deck of the ship itself is an area where they might find people. when you think about the scope and the scale of this event, where does it fit in your experience? >> well, i dealt with over 200 accidents when i was at the ntsb, including being the chairman, and this is certainly a -- first of all, it's a rare event and a sad event. my thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have been affected. i agree with the police chief there. the number of casualties is going to be a dynamic number. it's going to change. and unfortunately, i'm afraid, it's going to increase. >> we heard a question from somebody there at the press conference about the pilot, you know, the driver of this ship that struck a pylon. they haven't been able to debrief that pilot, but it sounds like -- and we haven't confirmed it -- it might have been an american who was at the
3:41 am
controls there. how does that fit into your approach to investigating this? we might have local people behind the driving of the ship as opposed to an international situation? >> well, you're exactly right. in the united states and across the globe, they use local pilots to direct the navigation of the ship in and out of ports, so there will be a u.s. pilot on board who is giving commands to the helm, and so from the international perspective, i can't tell you anything about that, but what i can tell you is, yes, there is a u.s. pilot who was on board that ship. >> wow. that deepens the mystery here, robert, i have to say. at the hour of the morning, they just left port, you can't say that the person who was on that ship did not know the waterways if it's a local person. so we're going to be looking at that. add to that, was it a mechanical
3:42 am
problem, human error? so much. thank you for your time. we'll have more coming up on "cbs mornings" at 7:00 a.m. this has been a cbs news special report. i'm tony dokoupil in new york. h overturned roe v. wade and sent the issue of abortion back to the states. >> you overall too many cases, and the law will turn into chaos. and before you know it, you won't know what the law is. >> you say it's unprincipled. >> what is the principle? is the principle that you think those cases decided then were really wrong, egregiously wrong, totally wrong, and how are you going to decide that? >> and what we now see in the states, you predict chaos. >> well, i've seen it.
3:43 am
>> reporter: breyer says because there was a new conservative majority, he couldn't seek a compromise with chief justice john roberts, who wanted a middle path to try to save roe, saying states could not ban abortion between 15 weeks. >> you might have considered that. >> i certainly would have considered it. i certainly would have considered it. i might have joined. >> reporter: breyer argues the case shows the problems with the conservative approach, where judges look at the words of the law or how the constitution was originally understood whenas originally understood when it was written. instead, breyer advocates considering the purposes, consequences, and values of the law. it's a war of ideas, but breyer rejects accusations the court is political. >> the political people desperately want to say that the judges are deciding on political bases. i don't think that's true. i think -- >> people do say that now. >> i know that. >> that is a narrative about this supreme court. you don't believe it? >> no. >> reporter: disagreement is civil, especially in private when just the nine justices meet to discuss cases.
3:44 am
>> nobody speaks twice until everybody has spoken once. >> why is that important? >> it's important because then everyone feels they participated. everyone feels that the others have a chance to listen. >> listen. >> in 28 years, i have never heard a voice raised in anger. i don't think ever. it's polite. >> ever? >> i can't think of ever. >> not even bushes versus gore >> no. i think they were wrong. >> but you didn't shout it. >> no. >> how is it now? >> i think it's similar. >> still? >> i think it's not perfect. nothing's perfect. >> reporter: though he no longer walks these halls to talk about cases, he's still hoping to persuade. >> i think you've written this book also for three of the new conservative justices. >> i might like it if they read it, yes. >> reporter: and encouraging young people to have hope. >> they say, well, what should we do? i say, what should we do? get out and participate. but you want me to be detailed? i'll tell you something. i'll tell you a secret.
3:45 am
it's not my world anymore. it's yours, and you're the ones who will decide how to keep it together. so go out there and do it. >> reporter: now, justice breyer was really valued up here for his collegiality. he still sees his former colleagues a lot. the week he interviewed them, he had just had lunch with them all in the justices' private dining room. he says it's really important to keep your perspective, that these newer justices are young. they are going to be here a long time. and if you look back at the court over the decades, sometimes it can change. >> that was jan crawford outside the supreme court. in lighter news, spring break is here for millions of students, and if you haven't booked your trip yet, kris van cleave has some last-minute travel deals. >> reporter: play ball. the aiello family is spending their spring break taking in spring training in arizona. >> it's our spring break, and they got to see some players, get some signatures. >> reporter: they're among the
