The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which occurred on March 28, 2024.
The FBI opened a federal criminal investigation into the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse on March 26, 2024 in Baltimore of USAaccording to the Washington Post, citing two US officials.
The investigation will focus at least in part on the freighter Dali and whether its crew left the port of Baltimore knowing the ship had serious problems with its systems, the Post reported.
Remnants of the bridge still lie alongside the freighter.
Last week the head of the US National Transportation Safety Board separately told Congress last week that he had interviewed key personnel on the cargo ship as part of his investigation into the crash.
Work to clear debris and restore traffic through the state’s shipping channel continues after the massive container ship lost power and crashed into a support pylon last month, causing the bridge to collapse, killing six bridge workers .
When it comes to restoring the bridge, Maryland’s governor warned that there is “a long way to go.”
The state has asked the federal government for an initial $60 million, and the US Department of Transportation has announced the “immediate release” of the amount.
According to newsit, after the tragic event, President Joe Biden pledged that the federal government would cover the full cost of restoring the bridge.
Because of the accident, the port of Baltimore – the ninth largest in the US in terms of activity – has suspended its operations.
By the end of May they hope to have normalcy back in the Port of Baltimore.
