we expected the ntsb will launch a go team. we know a number of different agencies are working this. they are using night vision goggles. divers are in the water. and at the time of the collapse, there was a construction crew working on there. they believe that there are at least seven people, but there could be more in the water from that crew. now. also, in the moments leading up to this, it looks like traffic was slowed down a bit in the minutes before. there were a number of cars and trucks crossing at regular speed, but in the seconds before the crash, it looks like traffic may have been stopped or slowed down. were they able to give the bridge authority or the people who are in charge of the bridge, some sort of warning that they had lost control and that they were going to hit the pylons? we don't know that yet, but the good news is that it looks like there were fewer cars than there were just a few moments before the actual impact. >> that would be some good news. and hopefully those reports are accurate. that the crews
