earlier i spoke with jennifer homendy chair woman of the ntsb. take a look.med that? >> we still have to confirm that. we do have a download from the voyage data recorder that we've sent back to our lab to evaluate the data and begin to construct a timeline of events which we hope to have later today. >> rebecca: can you tell us anything more about what went wrong here? >> we've seen all the reports and heard the reports about power losses and striking the bridge at the time when a number of workers were on the bridge. it's still something we need to confirm, make sure that we're looking at all the evidence and the data to begin to construct that timeline so we know exactly what occurred when. >> rebecca: well before this incident and of course after. and speaking of that bridge, it was apparently rated as fair during the last inspection. what can you tell us about that? >> yeah. overall our records from federal highway shows that it was rated as satisfactory overall. so we aren't looking at the structure today. we will be boarding the vessel at some point to

ntsb chair jennifer homendy criticized boeing to a senate committee wednesday. >> boeing has not providedthat we have requested numerous times over the past few months. >> reporter: investigators' initial findings determined that four critical bolts that literally hold the door to the jet's fuselage were missing. boeing says it had provided the detailed information including a full list of individuals on the 737 door team to the ntsb. but adds in a statement, if a door plug removal had not been documented, it would have no documentation to share. today after a long inspection process, the plane involved in that blowout along with the entire fleet is back in the air. now, the ntsb chair did confirm that those inspections did not turn up missing bolts on other max 9s i service. an audit of boeing's manufacturing line found multiple instances of failure to comply with quality control procedures. it's giving boeing 90 days to implement a plan to address those issues. boeing says it is doing exactly that. back to you. >> tom costello, thank you so very much. >>> up next, how do you write an im

>> griff: well, we learned from the ntsb press conference last night from the chairwoman homendy she was saying there is some leakage out here and they have got a team trying to control it to monitor it to keep it from effecting anybody. we do know that's going to be a situation that we hope to hear more about a little bit later because, obviously, that is raising a lot of concerns when people hear that. >> rachel: thank you, griff. >> brian: maybe that explains why the thing hasn't been moved yet. >> rachel: 56 containers lithium and eye on batteries. this waterway was important not just for these kind of containers but also cars and farm equipment. so they're saying it could effect farming, harvest. they are scrambling to find other waterways other routes to get those types of equipment through. >> brian: incredible. 18 minutes after the hour. carley shimkus you have the news. >> carley: i certainly do. tomorrow marks one year since "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich was detained in russia. the "wall street journal" newsroom plans to public reading friends and colleagu

it is a modern version of these voyage data recorders, and so i asked the ntsb chief jennifer homendy what they're hoping to glean from that black box. here is the conversation. you recovered the so-called black box for ships. what does that tell you? >> it tells us quite a bit. it is one of the newer voyage data recorders which provides a greater number of parameters, everything from, you know, positioning the ships, speed of the ship, what might have been occurring at the time with respect to power, operation. >> reporter: yeah, that's critical right there. propulsion. might the black boxes provide any details on data about whether and how and when the ship lost power. there is this theory, the ntsb chief said, they are looking into this theory that perhaps the ship itself had contaminated fuel that may have led to the ship losing power, and then, of course, its ability to navigate and slamming into that structure that holds up the bridge. by the way, the engineering experts across the board have reiterated to us that given the speed, roughly 9.2 miles per hour at the time, and give
