Biden says earthquake 'under control' as he departs White House for bridge collapse visit

01:00

U.S. President Joe Biden stated, "things are all right," following an East Coast earthquake centered in northern New Jersey, which shook skyscrapers and suburbs for several seconds. As he departed the White House for Baltimore to visit the site of the deadly bridge collapse, Biden said he spoke with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, "who thinks everything is under control.” The quake caused no major damage but startled millions of people in an area unaccustomed to such tremors. It diverted flights and disrupted travel on roads and rails during runway, bridge and tunnel inspections.
