What were the direct causes of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse and its immediate consequences?

On March 26, 2024, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland collapsed after a collision with the container ship Dali, resulting in the death of six construction workers. The NTSB determined that a lack of a vulnerability assessment, considering recent vessel traffic, prevented proactive risk mitigation strategies. This assessment would have identified the bridge's risk exceeding safety standards.
