Investigation continues into 4 electrical blackouts on ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse
SUMMARY: The container ship Dali experienced electrical blackouts before leaving Baltimore's port, which were different from the power outages that led to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, killing six workers. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incidents, with the ship losing power and crashing into the bridge. Initial findings suggest that maintenance issues and changes to the ship's electrical configuration may have played a role in the accidents. The FBI has also launched a criminal investigation. The ship is expected to be refloated and guided back to the Port of Baltimore.

SUMMARY: A barge struck a bridge pillar in Galveston, Texas, causing oil to spill into surrounding waters and closing the only road to Pelican Island. The incident occurred when a tugboat lost control of the barges it was pushing, resulting in one barge hitting the bridge. No injuries were reported. The collision caused oil to spill into the bay, prompting cleanup efforts. The bridge, rated as “Poor” in a 2023 federal inventory, will remain closed until deemed safe. The incident occurred weeks after a cargo ship crashed into a bridge in Baltimore. Plans are being made to provide transportation for those stranded on Pelican Island.
