The in-depth story of the Francis Scott Key Baltimore Bridge collapse on March 26, 2024.
Four minutes and seventeen seconds — that's the amount of time the MV Dali crew had from the first total blackout to the moment of impact. It's a frantic race against gravity as the 984-foot containership barrels toward the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge, and it ends in tragedy.
With the collision caught on a live stream, word of the tragedy spread fast…and so did the questions:
Why did the ship hit the bridge?
Why did the bridge fail so catastrophically?
And who is to blame?
