NTSB released preliminary investigation, the main engine automatically shut down and the rudder was inoperable.
BALTIMORE — The cargo ship Dali that caused the collapse of theblackouts before even leaving the Port of Baltimore, federal investigators say.
Investigators did not say if those power issues had anything to do with the blackout that caused the ship to hit the bridge and its immediate collapse. Adding that a full investigation could take over a year. At 1:25 a.m., when the Dali was just over a half mile away from the bridge, a primary electrical breaker that fed most of the ship's equipment and lighting tripped unexpectedly, causing a blackout. The main engine shut off after the pumps lost power and the ship lost main propulsion, meaning its propeller stopped.
