Indictment ties ship operator to Baltimore Key Bridge collapse that killed six

Federal prosecutors charged the operator of the container ship M/V Dali and a shore-based supervisor with conspiracy, obstruction, and false statements over the Key Bridge collapse that killed six workers. The indictment alleges the ship used an improper flushing fuel pump that led to power outages, and that officials concealed its use from investigators, contributing to the disaster and delaying a safety response; civil claims and a multibillion-dollar bridge replacement project area ongoing.
