A loose electrical cable is found on ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse
Briefly

Investigators uncovered a loose cable in the Dali's electrical system, which could have triggered the loss of power responsible for its tragic collision with Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The Dali's steering failure was linked to an earlier error when a crew member closed an exhaust damper during maintenance, stalling one of the ship's diesel engines.
Documents suggest the Dali's electrical issues began while still docked, raising questions about the crew's handling of the ship's electrical configuration before departure.
A preliminary report noted multiple power issues before and after the Dali's departure. New records provide detail on how these failures likely led to the disaster.
