camera. maryland governor westmore says this cargo ship lost power and sent out an emergency. mayday call. >> officials reacted quickly getting on the radio traffic bridge. just moments later, the ship hit baltimore's francis scott key just collapsed while the mayday call gave officials a critical few moments to shut down traffic on the bridge. a construction crew filling potholes on the bridge was plunged into the water. first responders rescued 2 people. one is hospitalized. the other unhurt. >> that's 6 more are missing. the search and rescue operation is our top priority. president biden sent federal officials from the fbi transportation department and army corps of engineers to help local leaders were going to work hand-in-hand with support of maryland to score maryland. >> and whenever they ask for the bridge in the port shutdown for now, a devastating blow to travel and shipping in the region. the president biden says he wants the federal government to cover the entire cost of rebuilding the bridge with the people of baltimore count on

firefighter sheared off a support on the sunshine scribd the sunshine skyway bridge in tampa bay, florida, dropping 1400 foot section of roadway into the water below. 35 people died there. and here in the bay area, bridges are critical part of daily life for many people. but after seeing what happened this morning in baltimore, a lot of people might be wondering what protections are in place to prevent an accident like that from happening here. kron 4 s charles clifford got answers from caltrans. caltrans says that they are keeping a close eye on the events unfolding in baltimore with the key bridge. >> they also say that our bridges here in the bay area are fairly well protected against ship strikes, but admit that they can't protect against every kind of accident. there are a large toll bridges in the bay area. container ships don't pass underneath all of them. but every bridge has protections built into their foundations. well, a ship strike is rare. caltrans says that possibility was taken into consideration

when the bridges were built or retrofitted. we have designed the bridge with this. the all of our bridges with this in mind. bart ney is a spokesperson for caltrans. every one of them has a protection device around it. that's a fender system. >> that either is completely different than the bridge foundations themselves or it's designed to absorb the energy and accidents do happen on november. 7th, 2007, the costco, goosen container ship struck the delta tower of the western span of the bay bridge. in that case, fenders around the tower foundation absorb the energy from the strike and prevented the bridge from suffering any major damage. but caltrans does admit that they can't plan for every possibility in the event that a large ship struck and badly damaged a bridge. they say they would move quickly to protect the public caltrans, which shut down the toll plaza at the golden gate division of the chp would go right into operation and closed the freeway. so you would have access to the bridge. now in the case of the costco boose on it was eventually determined that the bar pilot who is in command of that ship was at fault in that crash.

but for now on treasure island, charles clifford kron, 4 news. and as for the golden gate bridge, it features the most robust ship collision protection of any bridge on the west coast. >> the north tower is partially on land, meaning that a large vessel would run aground before it collided with the pier and the south tower is protected by a concrete fender that extends 40 feet deep. that fenders filled with sand. similar to a highway crash barrel. it is 27 feet thick at its base providing significant protection against collisions. and when this bridge collapsed today, kron 4. sent out a breaking news alert, a viewer, so make sure you download the free kron. 4 mobile app to get push alerts sent right to your mobile device. >> firefighters have knocked down a house fire in san jose. the fire department sharing
