MARGARET BRENNAN: For more on the recovery following last month's collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, and the plan to rebuild it. We're joined now by Maryland Governor Wes Moore. Governor, welcome.GOV. WES
Well, I think first the state is still heartbroken. We lost six Marylanders. Just yesterday, we recovered the body of- of Maynor Sandoval, and in our hearts, continue to be with the families and with all of the families. But we also know that we've got a long road to recovery ahead of us. But that road, and that recovery is now happening. You know, the- the- the enormity of this collapse cannot be overstated.
To have full functioning. And that means being able to not just- not just continue the maritime operations that we have. And also, it's understanding how important that port is not just to Baltimore, but to the entire country. And right now, if you look at the Port of Baltimore, we have operations that are taking place by a truck and by rail. It's just- it's the maritime operations that have come to a halt.
That's exactly right. So- so basically, what he's saying is, and I'm thankful to the President for saying that this is going to be a national response to something that is a national tragedy. And at the same time, if people need to be held to account for what happened, they must be held to account. There's an- there's an independent NTSB investigation that's taking place right now.
