100 Million Settlement Reached in Baltimore Bridge Collapse Caused by Cargo Ship

The owner and manager of the cargo ship that caused the fatal Baltimore bridge collapse have agreed to a $100 million settlement with the U.S. government. The settlement follows a Justice Department lawsuit alleging poor maintenance of the ship's systems, leading to a power failure and a deadly crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, killing six. The incident halted commercial shipping at the Port of Baltimore for months until it fully reopened in June.
