The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on March 26, 2024, after a container ship named Dali struck one of its support pillars. The incident resulted in the deaths of six construction crew members and two unaccounted victims. The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the matter, focusing on potential violations of federal maritime law and whether the ship's crew was aware of any technical or operational issues before leaving Port of Baltimore.
The Dali, a 985-foot Singapore-flagged ship, had experienced apparent electrical problems while still docked in Baltimore. The National Transportation Safety Board is also investigating the incident to determine the cause and evaluate safety measures.
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has announced plans to take legal action against the owner, charterer, manager, and manufacturer of the Dali. The city seeks accountability for any liability limitation that may apply in this case.
The FBI's involvement in the investigation is separate from the NTSB's efforts to determine the cause of the bridge collapse. President Biden and Maryland Governor Wes Moore have pledged to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions leading up to this tragic event.
In a related incident, more than two dozen barges broke loose from their moorings on the Ohio River in Pittsburgh and floated downstream, causing damage to Peggy's Harbor marina and striking the Sewickley Bridge. The Coast Guard is working with local authorities to contain and salvage the vessels.

The article reports on a ship that caused a bridge collapse and mentions that the ship experienced electrical problems while still docked. However, the author does not provide any evidence or details about these alleged electrical problems beyond stating that 'alarms went off on some of its refrigerated containers, indicating an inconsistent power supply.' This is selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position without providing context or information about other potential causes of the bridge collapse. Additionally, the article mentions an FBI investigation but does not disclose any sources for this information beyond 'a person familiar with the matter.' This lack of transparency and attribution is a form of emotional manipulation as it creates a sense of urgency and importance around the investigation without providing any concrete evidence or details.
