The FBI has launched a criminal probe into the Baltimore bridge collapse that killed six construction workers.
Agents will investigate whether the 22-strong crew of the Dali knew it had serious systemic issues before they left the Maryland port on March 26.
Meanwhile Baltimore's mayor said the city is brining in outside firms to 'hold responsible all entities accountable for the Key Bridge tragedy'. It comes just three weeks after shocking footage beamed around the world showing the 110,000-ton cargo ship ram into the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The huge smash caused it to collapse on to the vessel and into the freezing river,

We still do not know anything about either the captain or the pilot. We have not seen them interviewed etc. This is not some big state secret. Let's hear what they say about what happened. Maybe they can explain the ships apparent turn to starboard.

I'm surprised the FBI has the time, considering all the Americans it has to persecute.

The FBI Stasi investigate everything these days. There are no local or state police investigations. The FBI always gets their man---lying to the FBI.

I'm not saying that this ship should have been operating at the time if there were mechanical/electrical problems
But in speaking with a friend who spent several years as an officer on Great Lakes vessels, power outages do happen and he dealt with several. Normally, you're out in open water with nothing around giving you time and space to fix the problem. When you're leaving harbor and going under a bridge it's a different ball game.

When the FBI thinks that citizens trying to talk to and speak publicly to their school board are "domestic terrorists", I don't believer ANY sort of fantasy stories that these dangerous clowns come up with.
Frankly, the FBI saying "criminal" is, to me, convincing evidence that it is just a stupid, incompetent accident.
The FBI's credibility is NEGATIVE these days. Whatever they say is almost certain to be the opposite of the truth.

Sure hope there isn't a President Donald John Trump supporter in the wood pile. He'll sure as heck get the Boston shuffle.

Has the FBI decided to go straight and do what they are supposed to do?
Only two men responsible for that huge vessel?

hmmm, the inference seems to be that the bridge collapsed on its own so, someone must have missed the part where this huge cargo vessel struck the mid-section support island of the bridge which seemed to be right in mid stream of the river and such an impact brought down the bridge at a double time rate of disintegration
it was really quite stunning to see that structure collapse so rapidly

Only to lend "credibility" to the official report.

If the FBI goons are getting involved they must think that there were some J6 protestors who were crew members.

If the FIB is investigating, that means there's a cover up going on. I'm sorry congressman, I can't answer that question as it may interfere with an ongoing "investigation."

My advice to all the crew members: Don't be Martha Stewart. Don't be the fall guy for trick questions. Don't answer any questions without a lawyer. Don't chat about it with "chance-met" people. Don't talk about it with associates. Don't even talk about it with friends. Someone's scalp needs taken to prove the FBI's relevance, and it can be for murder or it can be for misremembering an answer already given, they don't care which.

the ship is known for having had electrical problems before.
we were told the captn. is ukrainian, supposedly w/ a minimally-trained crew from india... to save money?
when it was built, key bridge didn't include the protections around the pylons.
perhaps we don't hear much about it, b/c joltin' joe popped out of the basement to say
he'll cover/cover over the whole tab--with federal taxpayer money, and the feebs.
what's wrong w/ an insurance investigation?
