Safety investigators to probe whether dirty fuel contributed to Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse
Fox News
A probe into the bridge collapse in Maryland will include whether contaminated fuel played a role in a ship losing power and crashing into the bridge.
The lights on the Dali began to flicker about an hour into the ship's trip early Tuesday. A harbor pilot and assistant reported power issues and a loss of propulsion prior to the collision, according to a Coast Guard briefing report.
"The vessel went dead, no steering power and no electronics," an officer aboard the ship said Tuesday. "One of the engines coughed and then stopped. The smell of burned fuel was everywhere in the engine room and it was pitch black."
