When the Dali containership struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the deadly collapse triggered an NTSB investigation into U.S. infrastructure. The safety agency wanted to see if other bridges could be susceptible to similar strikes.
About two weeks ago, the NTSB identified 68 bridges across 19 states that should conduct a vulnerability assessment.
