Marine investigation 2: Risky bridges
In the second episode of our detailed look at the shipping accident that destroyed Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, we look at why this structure was not able to withstand a strike by the container ship Dali. Engineering experts explain that recommendations to conduct risk assessments were not applied to many bridges built before those standards were created, and they describe the steps that US agencies will need to take to prevent another deadly casualty.
