A preliminary report by federal safety investigators has revealed that the ship responsible for the collapse of Baltimore's Key Bridge had a series of electrical blackouts leading up to the collision. The report indicates that the vessel suffered two electrical blackouts the day before the incident, followed by two more blackouts that disabled critical equipment.
The findings suggest that the ship may have been experiencing significant technical issues prior to the collision, raising concerns about the vessel's operational safety. The blackouts likely contributed to the ship's inability to navigate safely under the Key Bridge, ultimately resulting in the tragic collapse.
