Alex Delsordo, owner of the Hard Yacht Cafe located on a marina close to the Francis Scott Key Bridge, said one of his employees heard the collapse, which was "like a train going through".

He was providing coffee and food for the first responders - police, fire crews and divers - who have been at the cafe since around 03:00 local time to "fuel up" for the operation.

Newhour's James Menendez asked him what he and his colleagues have seen and heard.
