The lawsuit, filed in Maryland, provides the most detailed account yet of the cascading series of failures on the Dali that left the vessel's pilots and crew completely helpless in the face of looming disaster. The mechanical and electrical systems on the massive container ship had been 'jury-rigged' and improperly maintained, culminating in a horrific power outage moments before it crashed into a support column on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March.
This tragedy was entirely avoidable, if not for the companies' decision to place an 'ill-prepared crew on an abjectly unseaworthy vessel.' They decided to cut corners in ways that risked lives and infrastructure, all to benefit from conducting business in American ports.
