The investigation into the cargo ship crash into Key Bridge could take up to two years, according to National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy.
"We have an amazing team of individuals who are focused on very specific areas of expertise and so I have no doubt that we will be able to pull this together in hopefully 12 to 24 months," she said Wednesday at a news conference.
She called the investigation "a massive undertaking" and said there are "many different components to the investigation."
"It's multimodal," Homendy said, noting that "this is not new for the NTSB."
"We've conducted other investigations of bridge strikes, bridge collapses," she said.
