I want to talk about something that happened last week.

It's really, from what I've seen,

one of the biggest events on American soil

in several years, the single event.

This was the tragedy of the Francis Scott Key Bridge,

was hit by a container ship and you know if you haven't seen it by this point well here's some here's some news to check it out

All right this morning a stunning bridge collapse at the port of Baltimore this nearly thousand This nearly 1,000 foot long cargo ship called the Dolly hit a main structure of the Francis

Guy Bridge.

The bridge collapsing right into the harbor waters.

The governor of Maryland has declared a state of emergency.

The moments before it hits this structure, the ship looks dark. It looks like it's lost power.

The ship had alerted harbor authorities to an emergency. They had lost power.

Police quickly blocking traffic at both ends.

Shortly thereafter we saw that massive shock from that explosion, concrete coming off of the pylon,

water splashing off of the ship, and then now we know that the Francis Scott Key Bridge no longer exists.

Authorities are trying to rescue at least seven people who were doing overnight work on the

bridge. They're believed have been tossed into the waves.

We're talking about one of the biggest ports in the country has been effectively

crippled as a major employer more than 15,000 direct jobs, 139,000 jobs rely on

this this port here and again it's been effectively shut down.

The economic impact of the Port of Baltimore does not just impact the state of Maryland.

It's over 51 million tons of foreign cargo. It's the largest in the country.
