About this episode

A.M. Edition for March 26. The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapses after a large containership crashed into it, sending vehicles and people into the water and cutting off traffic on Interstate 695. Plus, the Dominican Republic looks to a border wall to contain the crisis in neighboring Haiti. The WSJ’s Santiago Perez discusses what this means for the broader region, including the U.S. And, after a series of high-profile production blunders, some manufacturers are on a quest to eliminate errors. Luke Vargas hosts.
