Key Bridge collapse: NTSB talks Dali disaster
The Baltimore Banner5 days
A single loose wire caused this preventable tragedy that killed six workers. The NTSB found the ship's crew responded quickly but couldn't overcome the electrical failure in time. Maryland officials failed to conduct basic vulnerability assessments that could have protected the bridge from ship strikes.
This disaster exposes America's crumbling infrastructure crisis that threatens the entire economy. Nearly one in 10 bridges are already compromised while Americans take 178 million trips daily on deficient bridges. The US spends half what Europe does on infrastructure, creating inevitable catastrophes.
