Baltimore- Power on the Dali container ship went out shortly after takeoff on March 26, 2024. Unable to maneuver, the container giant crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Six construction workers working there died. It is now clear that the Baltimore disaster may have been triggered by “loose wiring.”
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said there may have been two people present before the collision Power outage on board Dali’s ship. One was caused by a “loose cable” and the other was due to a “fuel pump problem.” This keeps control over Container giant replaced.
NTSB investigator Todd Gianelloni said the crew routinely checked the wiring systems on the 299-meter-long container ship. However, there are no instructions on how to check individual cable connections. This would be very labor-intensive and inconvenient if done on a ship with thousands of cables, investigators said.

According to Gianelloni, the NTSB concluded that the loose critical line might have been found sooner if crews had inspected the connection with an infrared thermal camera.
