The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into the deadly collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge that is focused on the circumstances leading up to it and whether all federal laws were followed, according to someone familiar with the matter.
The person was not authorized to discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.
The FBI was aboard the cargo ship Dali conducting court-authorized law enforcement activity, the agency said in a statement Monday. It didn’t elaborate and said it wouldn’t comment further on the investigation, which was first reported by The Washington Post.
Meanwhile, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott on Monday announced a partnership with two law firms to “launch legal action to hold the wrongdoers responsible” and mitigate harm to city residents.
The massive Dali left Baltimore’s port in the early hours of March 26, laden with cargo and headed for Sri Lanka, when it struck one of the bridge’s supporting columns, causing the span to collapse into the Patapsco River and sending six members of a roadwork crew plunging to their deaths.

To everyone who called us “conspiracy theorists” for saying this attack looked intentional, I hope you feel stupid

All smoke & mirrors, they have to go through the motions of an investigation just to appease the ones who know it wasn’t an accident. Nothing will come of it.
The feds have no authority to do this.
This investigation is going to be just like the Epstein & P Diddy investigations
They will get all information
Act like they are doing something
But in reality they are covering up and taking care of any lose ends
This will go nowhere
Because they are involved

The agency has opened a criminal investigation into the bridge's collapse that will focus on whether the crew of the ship, named the Dali, knew that its systems had issues when it left port, the Washington Post first reported.
