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.

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.

The Dali was headed for Norfolk, Va., to have roughly 1,500 cargo containers off-loaded to reduce draft then undergo continued salvage and repairs from damage caused during the bridge collapse.

The huge container ship that struck the Key Bridge had electrical problems the day before it left the Port of Baltimore, according to a preliminary report released Tuesday by federal investigators.

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.

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.

Workers are still removing pieces of the Key Bridge from Baltimore Harbor, but the fight over who will pay to replace it has already begun. Past accidents offer some clues about how it could play 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.

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.

Maynor Suazo Sandoval left Honduras when he was 20 and built a new life in the U.S. He is one of the missing workers from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge.

The Key Bridge collapse is upending life for countless people in the Chesapeake region. Residents say it's not just infrastructure — it's their identity as people who live close to the water.

The bridge was built mere yards from where Francis Scott Key watched the British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814, inspiring him to write the song that would become the U.S. national anthem.
