Summary of U.S. Justice Department lawsuit alleges ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse was 'jury-rigged' and improperly maintained
The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the owner and manager of the cargo ship Dali, alleging that they recklessly cut corners and ignored known electrical problems on the vessel, leading to a catastrophic power outage and the deaths of six construction workers. The lawsuit claims that the ship's mechanical and electrical systems were 'jury-rigged' and improperly maintained, and that the companies' decisions led to a horrific power outage moments before it crashed into a support column on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.
