"FBI Launches Criminal Probe into Baltimore's Key Bridge Collapse"

The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into the cargo ship that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, with agents boarding the ship to collect evidence and data. The probe will focus on events leading up to the ship's departure from port and whether there was prior crew knowledge of potential mechanical problems. Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott announced legal action against entities responsible for the tragedy, as the city takes steps to address the collapse. The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating, while President Joe Biden has emphasized the need to rebuild the bridge promptly due to the Port of Baltimore's economic significance.
