New allegations in deadly Baltimore bridge collapse

What are your thoughts?

The city of Baltimore is suing the owner of the ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month, claiming that the vessel was “unseaworthy”, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court on Monday and obtained by The Independent.

The Dali hit the structure on 26 March 2024 after it lost power, sending at least seven construction workers into the Patapsco River below. Six of the men died, while one was saved from the waters.


Attorneys representing the Baltimore mayor and city council claim that the incident should not have happened and the crew on board the ship knew that the vessel’s power supply was down.


“Even before leaving port, alarms showing an inconsistent power supply on the Dali had sounded”, the suit states. “The Dali left port anyway, despite its clearly unseaworthy condition”.

I mean these arent allegations, there was a report that said they were constantly making repairs before the ship was even allowed to dock. The owners should 100% be on the hook for the damage. It's their ship.
