WASHINGTON — The container ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge had electrical problems the day before it left the Port of Baltimore when it was docked, according to a preliminary report released Tuesday by investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board.
The Dali experienced a "blackout" during maintenance about ten hours before leaving the port, the NTSB wrote in its report, when "a crewmember mistakenly closed an inline engine exhaust damper," causing the engine to stall.
