"FBI Launches Criminal Investigation into Baltimore's Key Bridge Collapse"
The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into the Dali, a container ship that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month, focusing on whether the crew knew about serious systems problems before leaving the port. Federal agents boarded the ship to conduct a search, and the U.S. attorney for Maryland emphasized seeking accountability for any responsible parties. The owner and operator of the ship have not commented. The pre-dawn crash resulted in the deaths of six repair crew members, and the criminal investigation is separate from the National Transportation Safety Board's probe. President Biden and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore have expressed their intent to hold accountable any potentially liable parties.
