Engineer Charged Over Bridge Crash
Description
The chief engineer of the cargo ship Dali now faces federal charges for allegedly failing to report a dangerous fuel pump defect that contributed to the bridge collapse killing six workers. Prosecutors say the faulty pump—lacking a backup—caused a critical power loss after the first blackout, leading directly to the crash. Meanwhile, a $2.25 billion settlement has already resolved claims with Maryland, while remaining legal battles center on economic damages for businesses and governments still negotiating settlements. A trial for the ship’s operator and superintendent is scheduled for October 27.
