News 3 is following through with a new development in the deadly bridge collapse in Baltimore in March.
The ship involved, which spent months in Norfolk undergoing repairs after the collapse, left Norfolk Thursday.
“There are two earthquakes that happened today,” civil rights attorney Billy Murphy said at a news conference Thursday held to discuss a lawsuit related to the bridge collapse.

Attorneys representing a man who survived the Baltimore bridge collapse are making their case.
“Earthquake number one was when the government found so many problems that were ridiculous problems that should’ve never occurred. Earthquake number two, they feel so strongly about these problems that they are seeking punitive damages,” Murphy explained.
At Thursday’s news conference, the attorneys reacted to the federal government’s $100 million civil lawsuit against the owner and operator of the cargo ship Dali.
