Baltimore, MD - Apr. 15, 2024 - (WBALTV) The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, focusing on whether federal laws were followed and the circumstances leading up to the incident. Mayor Brandon Scott announced a partnership with law firms to hold responsible parties accountable. The container ship Dali, involved in the crash, experienced power issues before striking the bridge. Three bodies have been recovered, and search efforts continue for three others. The bridge's collapse blocks access to the Port of Baltimore, impacting trade and necessitating the opening of temporary channels for commercial vessels. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aims to reopen the permanent channel by the end of May.
