you will have law enforcement ag agents from baltimore area and surrounding areas or you will have also dive teams, experts in the water that know how to do a search and rescue of this nature. i can tell you, it is dark here in the baltimore area right now and that is an enemy of the rescuers because they only have so much light they can see in the area and that illuminated the area best they can. morning will bring on certainly another kind of scenario of where they will be able to find out more about what is going on. i can tell you, you are looking at a mass casualty incident where it is reported up to 20 individuals or more could be in the water. while it is in the 30-degree range here, it is very, very cold here and that water certainly would also be cold. some stage, while they are doing now is search and rescue, this may very well turn into a situation unfortunately where there is only search of the waterways for casualties. >> todd: that is horrific and our prayers are that is not the case. we had been reporting a press conference and latest sources tell us the press conference

area, but there are some pretty major airports in the area, and so the baltimore washington internationalrt has been telling people to use alternate routes if they need to get to the airport this morning. so this could cause some pretty significant headaches for folks in the area as well. >> i wanted to ask more about this area. my understanding is it serves as a substantial link. what's happening around the boroughs? >> again, this is a key bridge that is utilized by people in this area around baltimore. it's not the only bridge that's there, so it's not a situation where, you know, people are completely cut off, but it will definitely make a commute more difficult. this is also a relatively -- as you can see, this is not over the top of a highway. it's not in the middle of a city. but this is a bridge that is utilized be i a lot of folks in the baltimore area on a consistent basis. >> jarred hill, thank you for this information. we appreciate this. >>> let's go live now to our nicole sganga who ease 's live ground. i know you just got there, but walk us through what you're seeing there.

it's going to impact act not just baltimore or areas around baltimore will impact a lot of the east coast. so what you have is the secretary of transportation in dc working with the governor and his emergency management teams has transportation teams, to see what alternatives would be available. i already know that notifications are going out to the private sector about them getting alternative routes because you don't want a lot of votes coming to this area and sort of hanging out because obviously they can't do anything right now and so this is not, this is this is a big deal in the sense that we have infrastructure and transportation systems that rely on bridges not falling down. let's just another words. they rely on the system staying up. the alternatives tend to be limited. and then i guess i should say the third major factors of course how people will live in the area. the alternative routes are not ideal and so both the governor, local jurisdictions as well as the private sector, are going to have to be flexible in terms of getting people into cars, getting them into work. we know

area, a huge amount of infrastructure and transportation has been inhibited today. the one point i want to make, there is no good time ever for an accident like this. this accident occurred at one:30 in the morning, there were six workers on the deck of the bridge, repairing potholes but this occurred at a time when there were not 37,000 vehicles during the day and that's one blessing get, not a lot of cars moving back and forth. neil: boeing in the news, a heap of trouble, the ceo leading a couple of other top executives. what do you think now about where boeing goes, confidence in air travel has been tested as a result? >> for a long time boeing has been a good company and the board has stepped up and listened to the airlines and listened to the public and listened to other groups and has decided boeing needs new leadership, leadership that will place a big emphasis on safety, developing a safety culture, that is what people want, they want to know when they board an airplane manufactured by boeing that it's the safest plane possible and the board made a decision

it is as iconic an image as you will find in the baltimore harbor area.you see how that thing folded like a deck of cards, did you ever think i wonder how solid this thing is? it looked pretty fragile when it went down. >> it did. when that hit that support, one of the main supports to the bridge, only one thing was going to happen. it was going to collapse. how can we prepare in the future working with federal, state and local partners, we have to work together. this is a catastrophic event. we need a solution to work this out. we have trade atlantic as a partner. this is a deport and a lot of people don't understand deport, we have 50 feet depth, we have more opportunity to bring in more and bring it out. now we have a partner at old bethlehem trade point atlantic, good people that work together and we need to do that now, we are at point of a catastrophic event that has happened and we need to move forward and work together. >> lawrence: you're a senator by day, your actual profession is steel worker. what does this mean for the industry there? >> just

and there are some vigils in one of the latino areas here in baltimore yesterday. >> brian: i saw one of them interviewed didn't speak a word of english. >> ainsley: there was the reporting that officials used sonar technology and did detect cars in the river and so you were thinking oh my gosh there are even more people? what about those drivers? now they are thinking that those cars belonged to the construction workers and there was nobody in those. >> steve: the audio that griff played a little snippet of, you can actually hear the people who were working the bridge say we haven't been able to get ahold of the construction crew and before you know it, next thing you know the entire bridge is in the water. >> brian: right. >> lawrence: thanks, griff. >> brian: to another fox news alert. nbc dropping former rnc chair ronna mcdaniel as a paid contributor. the move comes less than a week after hearing hiring was announced. >> carley: mcdaniel is reportedly exploring her legal options after finding out about the termination through media reports. >> steve: don't you hate it when that ha

in the baltimore area cars find theirselves in the water. have you drownings. you have stuff like that. so, unfortunately, these guys are veterans. there is an unsaid toll emotionally on going to recover bodies. i have a good friend that had to go dive on an airplane crash over in bahrain when an airplane crashed and 130 people passed away. he said it was terrible. so our hearts go out to these guys that are in the water trying to rescue these people. hopefully they can get them early, in a couple days their bodies will transform a lot and it will be a different situation. >> kayleigh: our hearts goes out to up to 20 people who might be there and of course those search and rescue trying to find them. when you look historically at bridge collapses. you go back to 2013 in mt. vernon, washington, what you find is an oversized truck crash into the bridge. 2007, mississippi river bridge collapse. it was a design flaw. 2005, it was hurricane katrina in new orleans and then really you go back to tampa, florida as i mentioned in 1980 where you had a similar large vesse

then after seeing what happened in baltimore, many in the bay area wonder, what are our bridges builts is mornings on two. >> we're so glad you're here. good morning. i'm gasia mikaelian i'm andre senior. >> thank you for joining us. today is wednesday, march 27th. we had a nice day yesterday. we're starting out with sun today. things are going to be changing though. so let's turn things over to steve paulson who's tracking it all for us. >> some sun. but most locations will see increasing clouds here. so we're getting the low and higher clouds, 40s and 50s. i do think we get most a break in the morning unless you're well to the north, but that system will be here for most by this evening. so goodbye blue sky, increasing clouds during the morning, some sun, any light rain would stay north, but for majority it will be later this afternoon. if not tonight, 5060 on the temps. well, i have high hopes. the commute is smooth, but let's ask sal himself. >> i well, it is a little better than it was steve and all it took is time. right now at the bay bridge. we can see the traffic at the toll

this morning in baltimore, we do have a few showers moving through the area. the wind has picked up somewhat from yesterday at this time, water taps are staying relatively a consistent around 48 degrees. so upper 40s, current air temperature at 44 right now, and you can see on this radar, there are some showers building just to the west of the baltimore and dc suburbs. so we'll expect those to move in between 09:00 and 10:00 a.m. this morning, coastal flood advisory still in effect, high tide this morning around 8:00, 53 and then we'll start to see that reversal of the tide. here's the chesapeake bay so potential for some rip currents for the rescue operations, the recovery operations going forward so that it consider there's the rainfall in the forecast temperatures will top out into the lower '50s for the base. so this is part of a larger storm system, bringing rain to the east coast, maybe some stronger storms today across the eastern sections of florida, heavier rainfall into the carolinas particularly north carolina. and then you can see the wet weather o
