The National Transportation Safety Board is set to vote on its findings into what caused a massive container ship to crash last year into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which collapsed and killed six construction workers.
A loose wire on the ship Dali may have been responsible for the power outages that eventually led to the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge in 2024, according to the NTSB.
New images from airport security video shows the UPS plane's left engine detach from the wing moments before the deadly crash.
A small label installed on a wire when a giant cargo ship was built may have triggered a chain of events nearly a decade later causing the ship to slam into a bridge and collapse into the water.
In the preliminary report, the NTSB also references the 1979 crash of American Airlines Flight 191, noting that the DC-10 involved in that accident experienced a separation of the left engine and pylon assembly during takeoff. The agency highlights the event as a “similar” historical case in which the engine-pylon structure detached from the wing.
