Justice Department files $100M suit against Dali owner over Key Bridge collapse

Sept. 18 (UPI) -- The Justice Department Wednesday filed a $100 million lawsuit against the owner and operator of the container ship Dali that brought down Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.

Justice Department U.S. Attorney for Maryland Erek Barron said that the 985-foot Dali's owner Grace Ocean Private and manager Synergy Marine "recklessly cut corners in ways that risked lives and the economic well-being of the nation," when it struck the bridge on March 26.
