An electrical failure aboard a container ship sent the vessel on a collision course with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the bridge to collapse. The collapse occurred in 2024 and killed six construction workers. US investigators concluded their probe on November 19, 2025, finding probable cause for the disaster. The National Transportation Safety Board determined the ship lost electrical power because of a loose signal wire connection. The loss of power caused the container ship to malfunction and lose course, leading it to strike the bridge. Investigations continue and additional details are expected.
