A safety probe into the bridge collapse in Baltimore, will include whether contaminated fuel contributed to a cargo ship losing power and crashing into the bridge.
A safety investigation into the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland, will include whether contaminated fuel was a factor in a cargo ship losing power and crashing into the bridge. Investigators had not boarded the ship, a 948-foot-long container ship called the Dali, as of late Tuesday while it remained stuck on a pillar of the collapsed bridge, and the vessel could stay there for weeks.
The bridge collapse is expected to result in a multibillion-dollar string of insurance claims, covering the loss of the structure itself, the disruption to businesses using the port and more, according to insurance analysts. Victims of the crash could also file claims against the ship operator. The bridge was built in 1977 for more than $60 million, which is around $300 million today when adjusted for inflation. The Wall Street Journal contributed to this report.
