Businesses hindered by bridge collapse should receive damages, court filing argues

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Baltimore publishing company has filed a class action claim arguing the owner and manager of the massive container ship that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month should have to pay damages to businesses impacted by the collapse. The claim was filed Thursday on behalf of American Publishing LLC.
