The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the cargo ship that slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused it to collapse in Baltimore last month, according to two senior law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation. The news was first reported by The Washington Post on Monday morning. Federal agents boarded the 985-foot Dali early Monday with search warrants.
” “The City of Baltimore will take decisive action to hold responsible all entities accountable for the Key Bridge tragedy, including the owner, charterer, manager/operator, and the manufacturer of the M/V Dali, as well as any other potentially liable third parties,” the mayor said in a statement. The Singapore-flagged cargo ship collided into a support pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge at 1:28 a.m. on March 26, causing the bridge to snap and tumble into the Patapsco River below.
