Cargo ship that crashed into Baltimore bridge underwent ‘routine’ maintenance beforehand
THE cargo ship that lost power and crashed into a bridge in Baltimore underwent “routine engine maintenance” in port beforehand, the US Coast Guard said on Wednesday.
Divers had recovered the bodies of two of six workers who plunged into the water when it collapsed. The others were presumed dead, and officials said search efforts had ended. All were originally from Latin America.
Investigators began collecting evidence from the vessel, the Dali, a day after it struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
