The Singapore-flagged Dali container ship lost power, adjusted its course, and started smoking before hitting the Baltimore bridge on its way from the Port of Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka. The incident involved the ship losing propulsion and crew notifying officials of losing control, with a reported failure in the ship\'s machinery being the \"most likely\" cause of the crash.
