The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has shifted its focus to supporting the families and individuals impacted by the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy emphasized the importance of prioritizing the well-being of those affected during a press briefing following the devastating event.
Homendy stated that the NTSB will collaborate with the Coast Guard and other agencies involved in search and rescue efforts following the collapse, which occurred after a container ship struck the bridge early Tuesday morning. A team of experts will conduct a comprehensive investigation into various factors leading up to the crash, including nautical and vessel operations, safety history, human performance, and engineering aspects.
