## Resource

The chief engineer of the cargo ship Dali has admitted to a federal safety violation, acknowledging he knew about a deadly fuel system flaw that led to the ship losing power and crashing into Baltimore’s Key Bridge in March 2024, killing six workers. Under a deferred prosecution deal, he could avoid charges if he meets conditions. Prosecutors say the faulty pump lacked a backup, and management allegedly covered up the danger. The ship’s operator and a senior employee are also indicted. The Port of Baltimore was shut down for nearly three months. The NTSB blames an electrical issue and says better warnings might have saved lives. The full investigation is ongoing, exposing a tangled web of responsibility as legal proceedings continue.
