NTSB Releases Preliminary Report on Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released a preliminary report on the March 26, 2024, collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. At approximately 0129 Eastern daylight time, the 947-foot-long Singapore-flagged cargo vessel Dali, carrying 4,680 containers (56,675 metric tons), lost electrical power and propulsion while departing Baltimore Harbor. The resulting collision with the southern pier of the Key Bridge caused a significant portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, with parts falling onto the vessel's forward deck.
