>>> WE ARE STAYING ON TOP OF THAT BREAKING NEWS OUT OF BALTIMORE THIS MORNING WHERE THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSES AFTER BEING HIT BY A SHIP. YOU CAN SEE THE DRAMATIC MOMENT THAT THE BRIDGE FELL INTO THE WATER. SEARCH AND RESCUE EFFORTS ARE UNDERWAY. TOM COSTELLO IS THERE IN BALTIMORE. THE FIRE CHIEF SAYS THIS IS STILL A SEARCH AND RESCUE. >> THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 1:30 IN THE MORNING AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SEVEN PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE WATER OR THEY BELIEVE ARE IN THE WATER. THE TROUBLE IS, THE WATER IS ABOUT 45 DEGREES, IT IS ABOUT 32 DEGREES OUT HERE ON LAND SURVIVABILITY, GIVEN THE COLD AND THE HYPOTHERMIA RISK, WE ARE TOLD IT MAY BE AN HOUR. WE ARE MULTIPLE HOURS INTO THE EVENT AND IT IS STILL AN ALL OUT SEARCH WITH HELICOPTERS IN THE AIR AS WELL AS THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, MARINE ASSETS, LAND ASSETS AND THE COAST GUARD. IF YOU FOLLOW THE ROAD, GO UP THE ROAD, YOU WILL SEE THE BRIDGE. THAT IS IT. THE BRIDGE ENDS RIGHT THERE BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN CUT DOWN BY THAT CHIP. LOOK TO THE RIGHT AND YOU WILL SEE CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE DECK. THOSE ARE THE CONTAINERS ON TOP OF THE SHIP THAT ARE STUCK IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THIS ONGOING EMERGENCY. THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? SOME LOCAL AUTHORITIES ARE TELLING US THAT THE SHIP APPARENTLY LOST ITS ABILITY, LOST POWER AND LOST THE ABILITY TO NAVIGATE. WE DON'T KNOW HOW THAT HAPPENED AND WE DON'T KNOW WHO SPECIFICALLY WAS PILOTING THE SHIP AT THE TIME. WHEN YOU COME INTO MAJOR HARBORS AND PORTS IN THIS COUNTRY, THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP AND THIS WAS A SINGLE POOR VESSEL, THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP HAS TO STEP ASIDE FOR A LOCAL PILOT TO GET ON BOARD AND NAVIGATE THROUGH THE INTRICACIES OF THAT PARTICULAR PORT. IS THAT WHAT HAPPENED HERE? WAS IT A LOCAL PILOT AND HIS OR HER ASSISTANT THAT WAS ON BOARD THAT CHIP THAT APPARENTLY RAN INTO THE PYLON? AMONG THE QUESTIONS, HOW IS T POSSIBLE THAT A CARGO SHIP COULD TAKE OUT SUCH A CRITICAL SUPPORT COLUMN FOR THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY BRIDGE WHICH IS A CRITICAL BRIDGE IN BALTIMORE AND HOW COULD THE ENTIRE BRIDGE COLLAPSE AND BE SO VULNERABLE TO A SINGLE PYLON BEING TAKEN OUT? AN AWFUL LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THIS HAS BEEN A MASSIVE RESPONSE EFFORT SINCE ABOUT 1:30 A.M AND THEY ARE STILL SEARCHING. TWO PEOPLE HAPPENED TAKEN OUT OF THE WATER AND ONE IS IN VERY SERIOUS CONDITION AT A LOCAL TRAUMA CENTER. THE OTHER ONE DID NOT NEED ANY MEDICAL CARE AT ALL. >> THE MARINE GROUP SAYS ALL CREWMEMBERS ON THE SHIP INCLUDING THE PILOTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR, NO REPORTS OF ANY INJURIES BUT OFFICIALS HAVE SAID THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET ON THE DECK OF THAT CHIP. THEY DON'T KNOW IF IT IS SAFE RIGHT NOW, RIGHT? >> Reporter: THAT IS RIGHT. THEY NEED TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE ON THAT SHIP BEFORE ANYBODY GOES ONTO THE SHIP. THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT MIGHT BE A RISK TO RESCUERS WHO MIGHT GET ON THE SHIP. IT APPEARS TO BE SEAWORTHY. IT IS STILL SITTING WHERE IT HITS THE BRIDGE. IN THE MEANTIME, BECAUSE THEY KNOW EVERYBODY ON THAT SHIP SEEMS TO BE OKAY, THEIR FOCUS IS VERY MUCH ON THE ALL-OUT SEARCH FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE WATER. IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THEY ARE LOOKING FOR RICH CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO WERE DOING CONCRETE WORK ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING. SOME OF THEM MAY HAVE GONE INTO THE WATER BUT THERE ARE ALSO CARS IN THE WATER. THE SONAR HAS DETECTED CARS IN THE WATER. WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT BE IN THOSE WATERS. AT 1:30 IN THE MORNING, IT IS PITCH BLACK IN THE WATER AND THE FIRST TEAMS ON THE SCENE WERE STRUGGLING TO GET
