"Biden announces visit to Baltimore port after deadly bridge collapse, as cargo ship's owner seeks to limit liability"

President Biden will visit Baltimore to survey the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, as a small channel has been opened to allow limited shipping at the Port of Baltimore. The White House also announced the opening of two offices to help affected small businesses apply for federal relief loans. The U.S. Coast Guard has opened a temporary channel for commercial traffic, with plans for two more, while divers face challenges in surveying the wreckage. Attorneys for the companies that own the container ship involved in the crash have filed legal documents seeking to limit their liability, as the crew remains aboard the ship assisting investigators. Volunteers have delivered supplies to the mariners, including WiFi hotspots, DVDs, and homemade muffins.
