State leaders argue that the cargo ship was not fit to sail on March 26, and its owner, Grace Ocean Private Limited, and manager, Synergy Marine Group, failed to take precautions to prevent the crash.

FBI agents boarded a vessel managed by the same company as the cargo ship that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.

Investigators found a loose cable that could have caused electrical issues on the Dali, the cargo ship that lost power and struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the span to collapse.

Organizers secured the necessary 10,000 signatures to bring the question to voters as a ballot initiative in November. The proposal is loosely modeled on a program implemented in Flint, Mich.

The detonation marked a major step in freeing the Dali, which has been stuck among the wreckage since it crashed into one of the bridge's support columns shortly after leaving Baltimore on March 26.

After weeks of preparation, crews are scheduled to conduct a controlled demolition to break down the largest remaining span of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland.

The Baltimore County Police Department confirmed the identity of the sixth victim, 37-year-old José Mynor López, after salvage teams located his body Tuesday.

What a new bridge over Baltimore's Patapsco River will look like is still very much a matter of speculation. But one design stands out.

Following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last week, the city's 39 year old mayor, Brandon Scott, a Black man, stepped out to address the crisis. Hours later, a tweet went viral calling Scott a "DEI Mayor." To which Brittany and her guests, NPR's Gene Demby and Alana Wise, say "wait what?" The three dig into the racism lurking under the surface of this kind of rhetoric.

Then, as March Madness reaches its final nail-biting stages, Brittany takes a look at the reality of "student-athletes." What may feel like an accurate descriptor of these players is actually a legal classification that bars them from asking for worker's compensation and other benefits - benefits usually given to employees. Brittany is joined by sports business reporter Amanda Christovich and Assistant Professor of Legal Studies in Business at Boise State University Sam Ehrlich. They discuss how the recent news of Dartmouth men's basketball team unionizing opens up doors for broader conversations around how we value "work."

The House Freedom Caucus has said environmental and union wage regulations should be waived if federal money is used to rebuild Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Experts said if the Key Bridge had been fitted with more robust collision-prevention structures, the collapse might have been avoided. Records indicate the protections weren't significantly altered.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore called the recovery operation "complex" after a ship smashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Officials have not given estimates on when the river will reopen to traffic.

Federal money and resources are flowing to Maryland as authorities scramble to remove the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. But they acknowledge the effort will not be easy, cheap or quick.

The Port of Baltimore, normally one of the country's busiest, is in limbo due to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. For those who work on the water, business is far from usual.

The likely first step will likely be securing the massive container ship that brought the bridge down on Tuesday. Then, clearing debris from the shipping channel.
