- NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy briefs the media on the NTSB investigation of a cargo ship striking and subsequent collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.
First thing she does: Talk about the families of those impacted. Absolute respect.
Chair Homendy continues to impress. Sadly she and her team have had a lot of work lately.
She is obviously not a young person. Props to her for going out in a harbor patrol boat and climbing what looks like 20 feet or so up the side of the ship on what amounts to a rope ladder.
I absolutely adore she and the team…they’re amazing!
She is a professional. So nice to see and so appreciated. Bless her heart for taking the time to share sincere condolences for the families impacted by this tragedy.
If more agencies had the integrity, bridges wouldn't collapse. I think the Dali should have been met in the ocean by local tugs.
Any time I see anyone from the NTSB on tv, they seem pretty stressed out and tired. Just wanted to send some big hugs to everyone at the NTSB, seems like a pretty difficult job all around.
The NTSB team rocks. Proud of paying taxes to support such an amazing team of people!
They have a tough job and then when you have to deal with a guy like Trump who had 10 stacks of paper on his desk! Bragging about deregulation and the regulations are what keep corporations from killing us!
It has to be hard when your job every day is dealing with death and disaster.
They literally have to pack a bag and fly to a new city then spend all day in meetings or out in the the field. When the touch down its work 110% for several days straight. So yah they tired when they do these briefings. Thats on top of the heavy topic
Thank you to the hard working NTSB team for making travel safer for all. Hopefully the federal government will finally give you the enforcement authority to do what you recommended to make all our lives safer
A comprehensive and well-presented briefing from the NTSB chair. I am grateful the government has such a high caliber of employee.
Could you imagine if Karine Jean Pierre was the NTSB chair?
TY NTSB! This is what a governmental agency should be - compassion and facts. No speculation or blame. Kudos to this team.
Well done, NTSB, and thank you.
Thank you to all first responders who showed up and are doing their level best to keep it together and find as many people as they can. And to the NTSB personnel who drop everything at a moments notice to investigate these matters. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to all those affected by this tragedy.
Sounds like 95 seconds between the general emergency call and impact. Amazing that they managed to get the traffic off the bridge.
Nobody removed traffic from the bridge. Just a matter of stopping traffic from entering the bridge.
It was because there was a work crew on the bridge. That meant there was a cop stationed at each end of the bridge to guard the work crew. All they had to do was radio through to those 2 cops and tell them to stop anyone from driving into the bridge. They could act immediately because they were already there. It doesn't take very long to drive across once you are already traveling so most of the vehicles already on the bridge just drove across and didn't even know anything was up until afterwards. But they didn't have a 3rd officer on hand immediately to go and evacuate the bridge crew, so they all went in the river and only 2 out of 8 survived.
NTSB doesn't mess around. Especially with dumb questions.
what time stamp?
@@unclepauly3205 IDK about it being a dumb question. But I appreciate 34:16
There are NO dumb questions but there is censorship of free speech when a pertinent question is asked!
I love Homendy and all she does! This woman is so thorough as a professional as well as so HUMAN; she is a true representation of a great leader.
What an excellent job by the NTSB already. Compare this with NIST at Champlain Tower South where so much digital evidence was lost even after NIST were on site.
You haven't seen yet how much data will be "LOST" in this investigation - whatever will be necessary to coverup what they want to coverup!
NTSB have done alot of work already this year
Some of those reporters have no idea what the NTSB does. Looking at you WBAL.
Most reporters have no idea… period.
Seriously, it's really unbelievable those reporters couldn't take a few minutes to learn about what the NTSB does b4 this briefing
You can include the Coast Guard on that.... most news sources I see keep qouting and citing the Fire Department. Not trying to downplay the FD, but it's the CG that has the assets and jurisdiction over the water and to do and lead the job. Not much you can do with firetrucks from the shore...
It seems that reporters are hired because they know what questions not to ask, and judges keep their jobs by knowing what questions not to answer.@@Sashazur

There is also a record button provided in the bridge unit so that after pushing button (say during starting of any incident like collision or grounding), the recorder will start recording a new set of information from that period of time.
It's true that the FSK bridge had no structural redundancy (truss bridges are very vulnerable) but even so, any kind of bridge will collapse when a support is completely removed.
The problem here was that there was insufficient protection to the piers from ship impact. Two years before this bridge was completed, a large bridge in Tasmania suffered a collapse due to ship impact and then the Florida Skyway Bridge in 1980 should have prompted the Baltimore authorities to retrospectively install better protection. I'm afraid complacency has a large part to play in this disaster.
Spot on. Even at the time of the erection of this bridge it was known that piers require protection from ship impact.
There was one dolphin on each side of the main piers. They would have protected against a ship going straight on but too far over. Because the Dali turned towards the pier at the last minute and was traveling at a relatively steep angle, it snuck in behind the dolphin. There should have been a series of dolphins covering all probable angles, not just straight on.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 .. Rubbish. They were lane markers. No where near large enough for.protection.
The NTSB did a great job in Pittsburgh! Very very impressed. Proper scientific fact finding. Whatever the cause they'll find it.
Easier said in hindsight but at this point it seems somewhat obvious - especially if we learn there were known power issues with the ship - that having the tugs stick with the vessel until was through/past the bridge would have been prudent. Since the standard latency for backup power response is 45 seconds, anything within 45 seconds of the ship becomes at risk of being struck and if those things are thinks like critical interstate infrastructure, logically you’d absolutely want the tugs escorting to a point beyond the bridge. Bummer.
Ships the size of this one have more than one power plant.
I was a Chief Engineer on board a ship with the similar fuel pipelines & auto back flush filtering equipment(with a manually operate able emergency bypass manual filter )
A probable reason could be malfunctioning back flush filter ; if the manual filter is not primed it could cause an airlock which can interrupt fuel to electric generators which will obviously stop the main propulsion engine. 3 power outages point to that…..etc.
So the only way to stop or deviate the ship is by one of the steering motor(which is supplied by the emergency generator)
In this case another “brake” are the 2 ship’s anchors; question is were they dropped…….
As ship managers operate on a shoe string budget ( the reason the owner’s do not want to run it)…..as compared to a U.S flagged ship which has more than double people on board . Even the spares are limited; the vessel super. Is also overloaded with handling 5 ships all at different time zones 😢
Hence the crew doesn’t have enough rest hours & they are fibbed for keeping their jobs!!…..
So no proof will be found but the top 4 posts would loose their jobs…….etc.
The Chinese have dedicated youngsters trained by Marine Chief Engineers & Masters to nip things in the bud; U.S. is far softer in their inspections.
I'm very curious as to whether there was engine power at any time after the initial alarm(s)????
In the NTSB’s systematic analysis please don’t forget to ascertain that the port anchor windlass brake is actually set. While it may have been dragging anchor, it is still part of the puzzle.
Get over yourself. The anchor would never do a thing. It is a literal hail marry.
If the ship's Deck and Engineering Logs have been kept honestly, they should record previous power failures, their cause and actions taken to fix the problem.
I have seen lots of their investigations and conclusions. I hope they are able to do a solid professional job with a minimum of political interference so they can do what they do well.
They typically can. They’re a non political organization and have said such. Even politicians understand that their job is stressful and improves safety for all
Dream on, there are NO Non political agencies left in the Regime.
Does crew and pilots have drug and alcohol testing as quickly as possible, as is done with surface transportation accidents?
Yes they typically do
Within 2 hours of any incident for alcohol. Drug test can be later
Seems like pier protection for the bridge, or in this case, lack of adequate pier protection, should be an important part of the investigation.
Not necessarily. The bridge had pier protection already, and there are very few ways to bring a 110k GRT ship at 8 knots to a dead stop within only a couple shiplengths (This is hard for navy vessels designed to do so). You can view the daytime photos, the bow of the ship that hit the bridge had minimal damage.
The bridge isn’t for the Pier…it is for the travelers. It affects the Pier because is it the only area where Vessels can get in/out. This has nothing to do with protection…security is very high there.
@@Schaden-freude There are transmission lines running parallel to the bridge and their towers had better protection than the bridge. In this case, I said "lack of adequate pier protection". By "adequate" I mean placing piles or sheet piles or some concrete structure into the river bed some distance from where the piers are to be located. Then fill with riprap, concrete or whatever to create small islands with the piers in the middle. If that would have been done here, the ship could never make contact.
@@DavidJohnson-tv2nn Again, not necessarily. You are severely underestimating the force that can be applied by that vessel. What you are suggesting would be adequate for a ship half the tonnage. It ran the entire gauntlet with its anchor dragging below and it still tried to move past the pier after knocking down the bridge. These are not vessels that stop in a shiplength.
@@Schaden-freude I'm not an engineer, but I imagine that 100 feet of riprap surrounding the bridge pier would be quite heavy. If that isn't sufficient.... a concrete structure with walls 5 or 10 feet, thick, then filled with riprap. The point is I'm sure there is an engineering solution.
Another cheaper alternative... Make sure these large ships have tugboat escorts. Or... A combination of better pier protection and tugboat escorts.
We can't allow an accident like this to happen again. Hope you can agree with that.
a VDR or voyage data recorder is an instrument safely installed on a ship to continuously record vital information related to the operation of a vessel. It contains a voice recording system for a period of at least last 12 hours (for VDRs installed post-July 2014, the period of the integrated details recorded is 48 hours as per the MSC Resolution 333.90). This recording is recovered and made use of for investigation in events of accidents in a compressed and digitised format.
The crucial part is to find what hapoened, the cause that led to the crash,
The ship lost power while approaching the Bridge head , but power to the steering was restored when the emergency Generator started , that feeds power to essential equipment inc the Steering gear/motor ,
Now the key lies in the fact that as the ship was aporoaching the Bridge it veered to the right heading straight for the bridge pillar , & the ship had a good 8 knots & over momentum at that time the power was lost , thus cannot be a reason for the ship to veer to the right for the heading of the vessel does not depend on the propulsion but on its momentum , before which the funnel emitted black smoke , This was caused by some action taken by the ship , which can said to be the Error , that led to the crash ,
If a large engine is attempted to start at full power after stopping; there normally will be black smoke due to not enough air from Turbos + aux. blowers.
There are many way that a situation can occur where a vessel hits a Pier or Pier Base. I suggest that it is almost impossible to identify all of these situations and prevent them. Bridge piers have been hit in the past and will be hit in the future.
It is actually quite easy to assume the forces involved and to build a structure that will stop any collision effecting the bridge structure.
Cost, today, should NEVER be a factor on what type, size and positioning of such protection structures are installed.
If cost has been a factor in this case then criminal negligence charges should be brought.
3 factors at work here...
1 - Main propulsion went out, so little to no steering...
2 - Wind, as evident from the smoke blowing near horizontal...
3 - Tide low/going out. The result of this there is a large current coming from the Curtis Bay Channel (to the right rear of the Dali). This current pushes the rear of the Dali to the port side, making it appear to "steer" to the right, into the bridge stanchion.
These 3 events combined resulted in the Dali striking the bridge structure first, then aground on the stanchion island itself.
It really is astounding that poor maintenance practices leads to the tragic loss of life time and time again.
The VDR at least must record the following:
Date and time (SVDR)
Ship’s position (SVDR)
Speed and heading (SVDR)
Bridge audio (SVDR)
Communication audio (radio) (SVDR)
Radar data (SVDR)
ECDIS data (SVDR)
Echo sounder
Main alarms
Rudder order and response
Hull opening (doors) status
Watertight and fire door status
Speed and acceleration
Hull stresses
Wind speed and direction
So, the VDR doesn't tell us anything about propulsion, like prop RPM???
As an electrical engineer involved in shipbuilding i would assume a proper VDR should monitor information on mais switchboard and emergency switchboard energized Yes or no and steering gear and rudder particulars..
I can't believe nobody asked about how common is it for the VDR to stop recording sensor data for minutes...
What is in the water causing the discolorations?
Does Baltimore use the river water for drinking?
I would like to know how badly damaged the bow of the ship is? Has it taken on water? And, what is holding it up? The ship appears to be sitting level in the water which would mean that either hull is still water tight or that the bow is sitting on something that is supporting it. Even more so in that there is a large chunk of the collapsed bridge laying across the bow.
I think the bow is sitting on whats left of the bridge support structure. would not be surprised if it is hard aground.
The bow is so heavy with debris that it's sunk to the bottom.
@@RevUnstableBoy That is also my best guess. But, I would still like to hear that confirmed from the experts doing the recovery.
They’re on it…go NTSB

There seem to be talk on social media, about this Container Ship, having circle breaker issues?
Directly because of the number of "Reefer - Boxes" onboard, keep tripping the vessels electric circuit breakers.
That is all the time, plus this has been going on for some time too, maybe since before the Container Ship arrived in the Port of Baltimore too!
Or it is to do with the high number of Refrigeration Shipping (10ft, 20ft, 30ft and 40ft long) Containers, that have been loaded onboard this Container Ship too, more than this vessel's electrical system can or could handle maybe safely?
So has been tripping the vessel's onboard electrical Circuit Breakers, all the time and for at least 48 hours before. The Container Ship left the Container Terminal dockside, in the Port of Baltimore too?
Also not only was the Container Ship Captain and Chief Engineer, plus all the crew onboard aware of this, so was the Ship's Owners and Shipping Operators too!
As well as the Port of Baltimore Authorities Officials, also the Container Terminal Management too.
Were equally aware of this information too, with some asking and the suggesting now too. This Container Ship, should not have been allowed, or given official permission to sail.
Until this Circuit Breakers issue, had been fully addressed and resolved plus corrected and repairs had been officially sign off on too. The Container Ship was safe to go to sea, that is under her own power too?
Which makes you wonder if anyone told the NTSB investigators about this, or has these NTSB investigators found this out for themselves too.
Or the NTSB officials, will now be looking into this Electric Circuit Breakers issues onboard this Container Ship too?
Because if there is a Circuit Breaker issue on this Container Ship, also proper repairs have not been carried out too?
Then there should still be a Circuit Breaker Issue, onboard this Container Ship now happening as well?
If the "Reefer's" onboard were causing the Electric Circuit Breakers to trip, then someone trip to share the loading across different Ship's electrical supply Circuits.
All they could have done is expose other onboard electrical supply circuit breakers, to equally start tripping too.
There by causing a ship wide electrical blackout, as seem to have happened on this Container ship.
Before the Container Ship colliding with this bridge piers and support columns, or caused the collision to happen!
As a direct result of a ship wide blackout, from these tripped Circuit Breakers connected to "Reefer's" onboard.
So causing total loss of power to ship's propeller, also the Ship's rudder plus the Ship's bow side thrusters too!
I didn't appreciate what a mess the ship itself is in. The bridge tends to take most of your attention.
Wash your hands, make sure your bearings are greased, and for the love of god keep electrical connections clean.
The questions were less stupid today.
Lord have mercy
No pier protection. Big issue.

such sass XD
on a bridge over 50 yrs old, fenders should have been installed 30 yards out long ago. NTSB looking out for safety ???
I think we all know loss of power is the main contributing factor in this incident. So the big questions will become why did the engine fail and why did the loss of power affect the ship when things like steering are typically on battery and emergency generator backup?
That will be the main focus of the investigation. We'll just have to wait for the results.
No, we don't a know that. Some of us are not making stuff up with no factual evidence.
She asked for one question only and all these idiot reporters have two.
Why didnt the bridge ever get updates like fenders or dolphins etc ?
that requires money to do and people hate spending money for infrastructure.
@@RevUnstableBoy yet infrastructure bill
you mean H.R.3684? passed in the end of 2021? the one that approved funding for upgrades to stuff like bridge safety? the one that will take years, if not decades to fully realize?
@RevUnstableBoy no I'm referring to lessons learned after the Tampa Bridge accident ...... as from strict regulations passed or not that's of concern too.
Wonder if they were switching fuel. Maybe it wasn’t preheated enough when they switched fuels and it stalled the engine. Just a guess. Stalled engines and generators tripped out when the engines stopped. Dropping the anchor turned the boat into the pier.
Winch motors probably running trying to stop anchor chain from freespool situation may have tripped power supply
Hmmm, it wouldn’t really make sense to me. This Vessel arrived here Saturday, unloaded through Monday, and was leaving Tuesday morning. It’s only about a mile or so distance between the Port and the Bridge.
More than likely an airlocked or contaminated fuel main.
You don't swap fuels until you're far enough from the shore that environmental rules don't apply.
Just a friendly suggestion:
Have more microphones to record properly questions. There would be no need to repeat questions and we could hear them
It is 2024.
I've been yelling about this since 2020, when the pandemic pressers had terrible audio for reporter questions. The WMAR-TV feed is much better.
How can these incompetents not invest in a wireless boom microphone with all that tax revenue? If I can afford it, so can they!
Then you pick up the noise from reporters typing, clicking pens, taking pictures, coughing, and potentially feedback since the podium is amplified in the room. That would be fine for a high dollar production where they can spend weeks editing the sound tracks to get the sound quality just right. But for a press conference where they want to get it out to the public, repeating the questions makes more sense.

Most major ports in the world require these large ships to have a tug escort them under/past critical infrastructure until they are out at sea…..if the pilot onboard had a tug alongside, that tug could have pushed the ship away from the bridge piling and avoided bringing the bridge down.
Varies widely by port, ship, ship owners, ship capabilities, regulations, etc. Many ships are fully capable of operating without need for tugs even in tight spaces.
Search for port timelapse videos or cruise ship time lapse and you’ll see many operate without tugs.
The regulations should change now. If you're not going to use tugboats then crew need to be in the steering room on standby in case of emergency...until the ship is past critical infrastructure.
@@FreedomForMaryland Crew being in the emergency steering room would have made zero difference, they lost all electrical power, at least twice, which is what operates the hydraulic system used to control the rudder.

How come the black guy didn't say anything ? ...did I miss it ? .....
I was practically screaming at my screen watching this. What is done to help insure the integrity of any evidence, recordings or computer systems?? From what I gather, IF this was a nefarious act, the crew could be out there erasing or modifying anything they want.
There's zero indication this was an intentional act.
Keep in mind there is a pilot on board in addition to the normal crew. The pilot is an employee of the port of Baltimore. So if there were any nefarious intentions by either the pilot or crew, there would be immediate finger pointing by either party.
I understand these things. That is why I I added the IF to my comment. But even if the whole event were totally accidental, this does not prevent a worker from hiding his/her actions in order to save face.in many other accidents, such as car crashes….whatever, police very quickly work to save raw evidence as the painstakingly record what happened. This event is at least slightly worse than a car accident.
@thomthumbe Yeah... the same way Tucker Carlson, and Alex Jones prefaced their BS with "if" statements. Which is EXACTLY what you are doing. You continue to press on with your unsubstantiated narrative. Keep pounding on your facts until they fit your bias beliefs. Piss off.
Did she really become animated and excited when she talked about entering the ship and she could smell the food the crew was cooking?
How high, how many feet high, was the jacobs ladder that Chair Homendy and all the others had to climb up and down ?
Here's what happened. When the power went down the pilot lost steerage as it is a fly by wire system. He then called for full astern. That is the plume of black smoke from the funnel. That was a mistake. When the ship engaged full astern it began what we call a prop walk. The stern moves to port and the bow moves to starboard. There was too much way on the ship to stop before the bridge. It was doing 8kts prior to the power outage and 6kts when it hit. If the pilot had not engaged astern it would have continued on its course through the middle of the span.
When I look at the ais timeline, it was already drifting away from the centerline of the channel and was headed for at least a glancing blow with the pier. I agree, the full astern might have made it worse, a more direct hit... But we need to focus on learning what happened instead of assigning blame, imo
@@rbryanhull Blame is not intended. The pilot was put in a very difficult situation. It's an accident. This has happened to me.
@@rbryanhull no it wasn't. It started veering to starboard when astern was engaged. That's when the speed began to drop and the heavy black smoke plume appeared when it throttled up. Then the prop walk began.
@@rogerprout5574 In this case, the pilot was grossly incompetent!
@@Hogger280 NO!! Why? Explain. Put yourself in his place. Power goes down, bridge approaches. What to do? Full astern? Most would do that. I have been in that stuation. I would have let the ship drift through gap it was heading on.
When the Pilot put the Ship in full reverse and Caused the Front end to walk the dog, why didn't he wait like procedure says to? If you want to Aim a ship that is SINGLE PROP there are steps to take, They didnt do any.....
Yeah, that is a problem. They lost steerage by slowing down and the tide coming out not helping. Perhaps if they had gunned it when the power was reinstated they might have been able to steer away. Still, I wasn't there and hindsight wasn't available to the guys who were.
I actually saw it on the news live when it actually happened it was a horrific site it crumbled down like Legos from a single cargo ship

BRUH

The videos from the event clearly shows that the ship had a much slower speed than 8 knots.
Someone is lying.
How can you tell what speed the ship was going? Do you have radar assisted eyeballs?
No, that's misperception from the camera angle. The GPS says 8 knots.
Yes, someone is lying. And that someone is cshlater.
The captain waited too long to drop the anchor and only dropped one anchor.
If the captain immediately dropped both anchors would have slowed the impact lessening the severity and most importantly would have given more time to warn bridge workers so they could get off the bridge or escape to a safer location on the bridge that was NOT part of the steel structure, therefore avoiding going into the frigid water.
The biggest failure was not having proper pile protection on a fracture critical bridge design especially after a similar accident occurred in 1980 to the Florida Sunshine Skyway bridge.
I studied that accident and bridge failure in great detail in my college engineering classes back in the day.
I have decades of forensic failure analysis engineering experience and there is no excuse for not have proper bridge pile protection, called dolphins, which would have deflected the ship direction away from hitting the bridge pile.
No force could have suddenly stopped the ship’s incredible mass at play, especially at 10 mph, wind and strong currents.
Deflecting the ship’s direction from a direct pile impact while doing all possible to slow its forward movement is key to prevent loss of life and environmental catastrophe.
Monday morning quarterbacking.
@@MERLE1593 And your qualifications are?
FYI, the road workers that died allegedly were illegals that didn’t speak English hired by the contractor who was allegedly was hired by the State to fill pot holes on the bridge.
Apparently the illegals did speak English thus not understanding the spoken English warnings to get off the bridge.
Dropping both anchors would not have helped. The momentum of this 91,000 ton vessel @ 8 knots is no match for the 2 anchors

Never seen so many NTSB news conferences in my life. This is what happens when infrastructure goes woke.
How many mega projects interstate bridges have you seen collapse in your life? The latest comparison to this incident is the 1980 Skyway Bridge Collapse, over 40 years ago.
Get them to explain how the bridge rails are different widths in the video of the collapse. Get them explain how Lorries disappear and leave a black cloudlike residue in the video. Get them to explain how lorries appear and disappear and reappear in the video. get them to explain how workers repairing the concrete were where traffic was travelling across the bridge. get them to explain how the lights of the workers did not move when the bridge collapse was at 45 %.. get them to explain why the ship was not lit up from all the lights along the dock line. Get them to explain why the video has been CGI rigged. GET THEM TO EXPLAIN WHAT REALLY WENT ON AT THIS BRIDGE because what we have seen is all bullshit.
I guess you have never seen a low res internet video before.
@@RevUnstableBoy You GUESS wrong. I have seen plenty digitally altered videos as well.
@@eastcoastuk1120 you literally just asked how workers can be repairing the concrete with traffic on the bridge... you don't know how lane closures work but you want me to believe you are an expert on video compression?
@@RevUnstableBoy I am not asking you to believe anything. I just pointed out that this video has been altered. WHERE was it filmed from DO YOU KNOW.? IT has to be from the middle of the river. VERY convenient for this event though. IN UK the bridge would have been closed if repairs were being undertaken. TRAFFIC diverted to another route. I do not know how that works in USA. It is just one of my questions that maybe you could answer. BUT you can't because you do not know LANE CLOSURES were in place.
please explain how you "know" that the video has been altered beyond editing for time? also, a man named Mike Singer had set up the web camera to capture ships coming in and out of the bay... very easy to find that info. and how do I know there where lane closures? well it is common practice that when working on a roadway to close down the lanes you are working on, and since we see road maintenance vehicles on the bridge (as seen by the flashing yellow lights) we can safely deduct that they must of had some sort of closure. and the fact that we saw other traffic on the bridge prior to the impact means the roadway was not closed completely, therefore they had to only close one or more lanes to allow work without blocking traffic. not really that hard to deduce.
Why is there so much praise for this false report? These people are READING. Saying a bunch of nothing... Stuttering, messing up the lines. NOT TALKING TO THE PEOPLE, READING LINES TO THE PEOPLE.

She's expected to release info. as it becomes available. Otherwise the conspiracy theorists would go, well, even nuttier than they already are. "Are" going to well before this incident!
