FBI opens criminal investigation into Baltimore bridge collapse

The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge with federal officials wanting to know if the crew was aware that the cargo ship that rammed the bridge last month had been malfunctioning before it left port. CBS News' Nicole Sganga has more.

The F.B.I. is amazing, they're going to investigate

[KillerTyphoons]

Check where the ship came from and get them to pay for it, tax payers should NOT have to foot this bill. Remember biden wants to pay for this using the citizen's money.

[robertmartin]

There should be maintenance history and log records of the captain, crew and company that operates and owns this ship. Just like the Titanic and Captain Smith who had two serious accidents on vessels he operated before Titanic..

[OBBUNNY]

The government should be responsible for the burial of the men who lost their lives on this bridge. My condolences to all their families and prayers for the 2 that are still missing.

[stevenarmer]

There's absolutely no reason why tax money should be used to rebuild that bridge. That shipping company has insurance for just this reason

[kathymelko]

Will come to a screeching halt when we find the federal government is to blame

[scwps]

No one will be prosecuted unless they are a Republican.

[greghammett]

How about this? They said they didn't need tugs for this ship, but they're using tugs for all the ships now? Tells you the Port Authorities were irresponsible. They should be fired and replaced for safety sake!

[RonWilliams-yvcc]

My question is this: if the FBI determines criminal acts, does that relieve the ship's insurance carrier of liability?

[Tboyhoot]

Hope it's not the republican side of the FBI. They'll be investigating forever if it is! (from and ex democrat)

[Pilotpaulie]

Bad things happen. There’s not always someone to blame.

[greghammett]

Add'l thought, NO OTHER SHIP would have done this much damage to this bridge. It happens to leave port at the least traffic hour of the day without escort? JUST TO MANY WHAT IF'S!!!

[calci]

Why though? Is it negligence? The owners probably knew. They should be charged but they’re gonna use the crew as scapegoats.

[cyeszin]

Lol but Biden said there was no foul play involved on day one 😂😂😂😂😂

[GregMartinez-gr]

Well ya the cargo ship was used to knock down the Bridge stop telling lies and they need to take responsibility for their actions and not charge the taxpayers with ther attack

[PhuccinAyee]

Yea, they need to charge, prosecute, and convict the captain of the DALI.

[jmartin]

Make sure they check out the E6 MURCURY that was in the area to see if they have any idea why the ship lost power

[Grimoire]

That crash was deliberate. The ship "lost power" while on a collision course with the giant support pillar then last minute the power comes on it makes slight corrections " looses power" again and hits the pillar head on pretty much.

[hime]

That Ship is gonna be sitting in the same spot for years.

[bigtime]

We shall rename it JoesephofGenocide Bridge.
