The U.S. Department of Justice files federal criminal charges against ship operators and a manager connected to the 2024 Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Multiple outlets report that the charges relate to the March 26, 2024 collision involving the container ship Dali, which lost power and struck the bridge. The crash kills six men who were working on the bridge. NBC News and other reports describe the DOJ bringing 18 charges involving the companies Synergy Marine Pte Ltd and Synergy Maritime Pte Ltd and one of their managers, with prosecutors alleging misconduct and obstruction. The New York Times describes the case as part of the legal fallout following the collapse. Coverage also notes financial and planning implications for the bridge replacement. Two outlets cite Maryland officials’ estimates that replacing the bridge would cost between $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion and that a replacement is expected to reopen to traffic in late 2030. The reports focus on the federal charges announced by DOJ and the circumstances of the 2024 collision and resulting deaths.
