The City of Baltimore has released a report stating that the ship that collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge was not seaworthy when it left port. The report alleges that the ship, named the Dali, was operated by an incompetent crew and that warnings about the bridge’s fragility had been disregarded.
The report is based on an investigation conducted by the city’s Department of Transportation. The investigation found that the Dali had a history of safety violations and that its crew was not properly trained. The report also found that the ship’s captain had ignored warnings from the Coast Guard about the dangers of sailing under the bridge.
The city’s report is the latest in a series of investigations into the bridge collapse. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is also conducting an investigation into the incident. The NTSB’s report is expected to be released later this year.
The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge has had a significant impact on the city of Baltimore. The bridge was a major thoroughfare for both cars and pedestrians, and its collapse has caused significant traffic delays. The city is currently working to repair the bridge, and it is expected to be reopened by the end of the year.
In the meantime, the city is urging residents to use alternate routes to cross the harbor. Several ferries have been added to the city’s transit system to help accommodate the increased demand for transportation.
