The National Transportation Safety Board has recovered the “black box” data recorder from the Singapore-flagged Dali cargo ship after its collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning, as confirmed by NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. The crash, occurring around 1:30 a.m., prompted an immediate investigation by the NTSB.
In an early morning Wednesday conversation with CNN, Homendy shared her insights into the ongoing investigation: “We did have some investigators who boarded late last night to begin to look at the engine room, the bridge, and gather any sort of electronics or documentation. But really it was very late, and so we are returning today to continue that work and to also have our highway team begin to look at the structure.”
CNN further probing about the recovery efforts aboard the Dali led Homendy to reveal, “So right now, we do have the data recorder, which is essentially the black box. We’ve sent that back to our lab to evaluate and begin to develop a timeline of events that led up to the strike on the bridge, and we hope to have that information to share with the public later today.”
