Engineer Faces Charge Over Bridge Crash
Description
The chief engineer of the M/V Dali, Karthikeyan Deenadayalan, faces federal charges for allegedly failing to immediately report a hazardous condition to the Coast Guard before the bridge collapse that killed six. Federal prosecutors and Deenadayalan have agreed to a deferred prosecution deal — the charge could be dropped if he complies with all terms. The case hinges on the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, a 1972 law meant to safeguard maritime operations. This agreement underscores the critical need for accountability and protocol adherence in shipping — and the high stakes when safety rules are ignored.
