IN HOLLYWOOD, I’M DAVID DANIEL. THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON ON WBZ. NEWS 8 TODAY STARTS NOW. WE DO NOT WANT TO INJURE ANY OF THESE FIRST RESPONDERS IN THIS RECOVERY EFFORT. WE ABSOLUTELY WANT TO BE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED IN THIS SEARCH. TEAMS ARE RETURNING TO THE WATER RIGHT NOW AS THEY CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR SIX PEOPLE WHO WENT MISSING IN THAT BALTIMORE BRIDGE COLLAPSE. WE’LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THOSE FIRST RESPONDERS ARE FACING. YOUR MARYLAND TOUGH, YOUR BALTIMORE STRONG. AND WE’RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS TOGETHER. PRESIDENT BIDEN ALREADY PROMISING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL HELP WITH THE REBUILDING OF THE BRIDGE HERE. MORE ABOUT WHAT THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER FEDERAL LEADERS ARE SAYING. PLUS, NEW THIS MORNING, A CRASH LEAVES FIVE PEOPLE DEAD IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, INCLUDING A BABY. WE’LL SHOW YOU WHAT LED UP TO THAT ACCIDENT. AND RIGHT NOW, WE ARE STARTING THE 6:00 HOUR WITH A LIVE LOOK IN HARRISBURG. YOU SEE THOSE CLOUDS? AND THE RAIN IS ARRIVING IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. GOOD MORNING. I’M MATT BARCARO. IT LOOKS ALMOST OMINOUS OUT THERE. I’M KATELYN SMITH. WE’VE GOT REGINA CHECKING ON SOME CRASHES THROUGHOUT THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY THAT YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THROUGHOUT THE MORNING. WE’LL SEE HOW THEY’RE DOING. LUCKILY, MOST OF THEM HAVE CLEARED, SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. THAT IS GOOD NEWS. ALL RIGHT. AND WHEN’S THE RAIN GOING TO COME. AND THEN CLEAR. WELL IT’S IN SOME AREAS THIS MORNING. OTHERS ARE STILL DRY. BUT WE WILL SEE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS, SOME EVEN BRIEFLY MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. SOME OF THAT AIM TOWARD LANCASTER RIGHT NOW AS WE HEAD INTO THE MORNING COMMUTE. SO RIGHT NOW YOU CAN SEE ON OUR LIVE LOCAL EIGHT RADAR NETWORK, HEAVIEST RAIN RIGHT OVER CRESWELL. IT WAS OVER CRALEY. IT’S HEADED TOWARD MILLERSVILLE AND THEN INTO LANCASTER, WHERE THERE WAS EVEN A RUMBLE OF THUNDER WITH THAT LITTLE CELL EARLIER THIS MORNING IN YORK COUNTY. SO WE STILL HAVE SOME HEAVY RAIN IN PARTS OF NORTHERN LANCASTER COUNTY HEADED TOWARD SCHAEFFERSTOWN IN LEBANON COUNTY. TEMPERATURE CHECK. LOTS OF 40S OUT THERE. SO A MILD START TO THE DAY AND WE’LL SEE ON AGAIN. OFF AGAIN SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 50S OVERALL TODAY IT LOOKS LIKE THE WETTEST OF THE WEEK. BUT THEN THE WINDS PICK UP BEHIND THE SYSTEM AND WE’LL BE DEALING WITH THAT AT THE END OF THE WEEK OKAY. ALWAYS SOMETHING. YEAH ALWAYS SOMETHING. YEAH. SO IF YOU’RE WATCHING EARLIER THIS MORNING THERE WAS A CLOSURE ON INTERSTATE 83 IN YORK COUNTY. THAT’S RIGHT ON SOUTHBOUND HEADED TO BALTIMORE. BUT THAT HAS SINCE CLEARED UP. SO A BIG THANK YOU TO OF COURSE, THE FIRST RESPONDERS. SHREWSBURY VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY WORKING HARD TO CLEAN THE AREA UP. WE KNOW THAT IT WAS A MULTI VEHICLE CRASH THAT STOPPED THAT ROAD. BUT NOW IT IS GOOD TO GO. YOU SHOULD BE OKAY IF YOU’RE HEADED TO BALTIMORE ON INTERSTATE 83 SOUTHBOUND. JUST A LITTLE SLOW THERE, BUT IT’S CLEARING UP PRETTY RAPIDLY. SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS. WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ROAD CLOSED IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, WESTERN CUMBERLAND COUNTY THAT I DO WANT TO PUT OUR ATTENTION ON. ROUTE SIX, 41 MAIN STREET. BOTH WAYS. SO IF YOU’RE HEADED THAT WAY, JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. WANTED TO TAKE A PEEK AT OTHER PARTS OF THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY? HERE’S A FRANKLIN COUNTY FOR YOU. AN INTERSTATE 81. LOOKING GOOD. THERE YOU CAN SEE. DEFINITELY IT IS A RAINY START TO THE MORNING AND TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR COUNTY HERE. LOTS OF RAINDROPS ON THE CAMERA THERE, BUT VERY BUSY ON INTERSTATE 83 AT 114. SOME DRIVE TIMES FOR YOU 422 EASTBOUND IF YOU’RE HEADED FROM HARRISBURG TO LEBANON, THAT IS A 35 MINUTE DRIVE. WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER CHECK ON TRAFFIC FOR YOU COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN A LANCASTER TOYOTA TRAFFIC REPORT. THIS MORNING. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE BIG STORY OUT OF BALTIMORE, WHERE A CONTAINER SHIP CRASHED INTO THE KEY BRIDGE, CAUSING THAT BRIDGE TO COLLAPSE. AND OUR LIVE TEAM COVERAGE AGAIN THIS MORNING. JAY SCOTT SMITH BACK OUT IN BALTIMORE WHERE HE SPENT HOURS YESTERDAY. THERE AS WELL AFTER THAT COLLAPSE HAPPENED AND GABRIEL THOMAS STANDING BY WITH THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THIS COLLAPSE FROM THIS COLLAPSE, SPECIFICALLY ON THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY, WHICH DOES MOVE CARGO UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST THROUGH THAT BRIDGE TYPICALLY. LET’S START WITH JAY. HE’S IN BALTIMORE, AND JAY AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR AT 6:00. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE RECOVERY EFFORTS WERE SUPPOSED TO START BACK UP. YES, INDEED. MATT. AND GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY FROM BALTIMORE. A LITTLE MORE THAN 24 HOURS AFTER THIS CATASTROPHIC COLLAPSE OF THE KEY BRIDGE IS JUST ABOUT A QUARTER MILE FROM WHERE WE’RE STANDING RIGHT NOW. AND AS MATT MENTIONED, JUST AFTER THE TOP OF THE HOUR, THE COAST GUARD DID BEGIN THE GRIM TASK OF TURNING THIS FROM A RESCUE MISSION INTO A RECOVERY MISSION. NOW, THE SIX MEN WHO WERE ON THAT BRIDGE WERE WORKING ON POTHOLE REPAIRS AT THE POINT OF IMPACT AT THE SHIP HITTING THE BRIDGE RIGHT AT ONE OF THE SUPPORT BEAMS, DESTROYING THE 47 YEAR OLD KEY BRIDGE ALMOST INSTANTLY. NOW THE SHIP ACTUALLY LOST POWER A FEW MINUTES BEFORE IMPACT, AND IT WAS A DISTRESSED MAYDAY CALL FROM THE SHIP THAT WAS ABLE TO ALERT AUTHORITIES IN ENOUGH TIME TO STOP TRAFFIC FROM COMING ON TO THE BRIDGE, THUS AVERTING AN EVEN LARGER TRAGEDY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR THOSE SIX WORKERS, IT’S ASSUMED THAT THEY DIED AFTER FALLING 185FT INTO THE FREEZING WATER BELOW. AND THE TEMPERATURES IN THOSE WATERS AT THE TIME, BY THE WAY, WERE AROUND 47 DEGREES. AND IT’S THE WATER THAT MAKES THIS RECOVERY EFFORT SO TREACHEROUS. NOW, THERE IS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DEBRIS IN THE WATER FROM CONTAINERS HANGING OFF SHIPS. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE SHORED UP. WE’RE GOING TO WORK WITH STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND HOW TO NAVIGATE AND ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF HAVING BRIDGE STRUCTURE IN THE WATER. THAT MAY BE SHARP, THAT COULD PUNCTURE A SUIT, THAT COULD PUNCTURE AN AIRLINE. ALL OF THESE ARE THINGS THAT WE MUST TAKE OUR TIME WITH. NOW, WHILE WE ARE FOCUSING OBVIOUSLY ON THE RECOVERY EFFORT FOR THE SIX WHO WENT MISSING, THERE WERE TWO SURVIVORS MIRACULOUSLY IN THIS. ONE OF THEM DECLINED MEDICAL ATTENTION YESTERDAY. THE OTHER WAS BRIEFLY HOSPITALIZED. BUT WE HAVE NOW HEARD HAS SINCE BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL. NOW, THERE’S ALSO A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INTO THIS FROM THE NTSB, AND WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT COMING UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUR. BUT HERE IN BALTIMORE, I’M JAY SCOTT SMITH. LET’S HEAD BACK TO THE STUDIO WITH MATT AND CAITLIN JAY. THANK YOU. BALTIMORE MAYOR BRANDON SCOTT AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS ACROSS THE CITY JOINED TOGETHER LAST NIGHT. AS YOU SEE HERE, TO PRAY FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS COLLAPSE AND ALSO TO PRAY TO FIND THE BODIES OF THOSE SIX CONSTRUCTION WORKERS. THEY ARE ALSO CALLING ON THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE STRENGTH FOR THE FAMILIES OF THOSE WORKERS. I’M SADDENED BY THE LIVES THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS. I KNOW THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH IT, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A WHILE. THIS WAS A VERY TRAUMATIZING SITUATION, AND SO WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS COMMUNITY FOR THE DAYS AND WEEKS TO COME. THE VIGIL ALSO HONORED THOSE FIRST RESPONDERS WHO WORKED THROUGHOUT THE DAY YESTERDAY, WHO ARE BACK OUT AGAIN THIS MORNING SEARCHING FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL MISSING, TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT THE COLLAPSE OF THE BRIDGE HERE. CERTAINLY THIS WILL HAVE A BIG EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY. AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY SPECIFICALLY IN BALTIMORE. AND EVEN BEYOND THAT, NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIEL THOMAS IS HERE AS WE CONTINUE OUR TEAM COVERAGE NOW, GABRIEL THE AMERICAN TRUCKING ASSOCIATION ESTIMATES 5000 TRUCKS A DAY CARRYING $28 BILLION IN GOODS WILL HAVE TO BE REROUTED AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE WAS ONE OF THREE WAYS TO CROSS THE BALTIMORE HARBOR, AND IT HANDLED 11 MILLION VEHICLES. A YEAR. TRUCKS THAT CARRY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS WILL NOW HAVE TO MAKE 30 MILES OF DETOURS AROUND BALTIMORE BECAUSE THEY ARE PROHIBITED FROM USING THE CITY’S TUNNELS, ADDING THE DELAYS AND INCREASING FUEL COSTS. NEWS EIGHT SPOKE WITH SOME TRUCKERS YESTERDAY AT THE PENNSYLVANIA WELCOME CENTER ON INTERSTATE 83, IN YORK COUNTY, ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE COLLAPSE. ONE TRUCKER FROM ADAMS COUNTY EXPECTS MAJOR TRAFFIC BACKLOGS ON ALREADY BUSY ROADWAYS. THEY HAVE TO DETOUR BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T USE THAT THAT BRIDGE ANYMORE. SO THAT’S GOING TO AFFECT THE TRAFFIC ON 695 AND 95, BECAUSE THAT’S YOUR ALTERNATE ROUTES THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE. NOW, SINCE THAT’S GOING TO BE SHUT DOWN AND WHICH WHO KNOWS WHEN THAT’LL EVER BE FIXED AGAIN. WE SPOKE WITH PENNDOT WHO SAID THEY DO NOT EXPECT THERE TO BE ANY IMPACT ON TRAFFIC HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. BACK TO YOU. WE’RE GOING TO SEND ALL THE FEDERAL RESOURCES THEY NEED AS WE RESPOND TO THIS EMERGENCY. AND I MEAN, ALL THE FEDERAL RESOURCES THAT WAS PRESIDENT BIDEN VOWING THAT THE KEY BRIDGE WILL BE REBUILT. HE MADE THE BRIEF REMARKS YESTERDAY FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, SAYING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL PAY FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION AND THAT HE EXPECTS CONGRESS WILL SUPPORT THAT PLAN. THE PRESIDENT ADDED THAT HE PLANS TO VISIT BALTIMORE AS SOON AS HE CAN. U.S. TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG. ALREADY VISITING BALTIMORE, TALKING TO THE PEOPLE THERE. HE WAS AT THE SITE OF THE COLLAPSE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, DOUBLING DOWN ON THE PRESIDENT’S SUPPORT AND ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THAT COLLAPSE WILL HAVE ON THE REGION. THIS IS NO ORDINARY BRIDGE. THIS IS ONE OF THE CATHEDRALS OF AMERICAN INFRASTRUCTURE. IT HAS BEEN PART OF THE SKYLINE OF THIS REGION FOR LONGER THAN MANY OF US HAVE BEEN ALIVE. SO THE PATH TO NORMALCY WILL NOT BE EASY. IT WILL NOT BE QUICK. IT WILL NOT BE INEXPENSIVE. BUT BUT WE WILL REBUILD TOGETHER. AND PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO ALSO OFFERING SUPPORT. IN A STATEMENT, A SPOKESPERSON FOR THE GOVERNOR SAID THAT HE HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MARYLAND GOVERNOR WES MOORE AND THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION IS READY TO DELIVER ANY HELP NECESSARY.
