Today's top story: The National Transportation Safety Board provided an update on the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse investigation, nearly one year after the tragic incident. In a press conference, the NTSB revealed that the Maryland Transportation Authority never conducted a risk assessment on the bridge that could have identified vulnerabilities to a catastrophic collapse. This oversight has raised questions about infrastructure safety protocols in the region.
