Investigators said recorder data was "consistent with a power outage", and the recorder also picked up commands to the crew to drop anchor, presumably aimed at slowing the vessel
A sailor among the 20 Indian nationals whose cargo ship lost power and rammed a bridge in US' Baltimore received stitches, before he returned to the damaged vessel, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said today.
"There were 20 Indian crew members. One was injured. He was treated, and given stitches. He has now returned to the ship," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters today.
New insights into the fatal disaster emerged a day after the massive Singapore-flagged container ship Dali sailing out of Baltimore Harbour bound for Sri Lanka reported losing power and the ability to manoeuvre, before ploughing into a support pylon of the bridge.
