Loose Electrical Cable Found on Ship Linked to Baltimore Bridge Collapse
Baltimore, MD – Investigators probing the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge have uncovered apotentially crucial piece of evidence: a loose electrical cable on the cargo ship Dali that struck the bridge. This loose cable, according to documents released Wednesday by the NationalTransportation Safety Board (NTSB), could have caused electrical issues leading to the ship’s power outage and subsequent collision.
The NTSB documents reveal that disconnecting theproblematic cable resulted in an electrical blackout on the Dali, mirroring the ship’s state as it approached the bridge on March 26th. The Dali, en route to Sri Lanka, lost power and veered off course, ultimately impacting the bridge.
While the NTSB documents don’t include any analysis or conclusions, they highlight a significant potential cause for the bridge collapse. The investigation is ongoing, and the board will release a final report with its findingsat a later date.
The NTSB spokesperson declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
This discovery sheds light on the potential chain of events leading to the catastrophic bridge collapse. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact role of the loose cable and any contributing factors.
