Twisted metal, debris and thrown barrels: photos reveal the interior of the ship that crashed into a bridge in the USA; Video | world

The images are from an inspection conducted by the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The agency sent toxic materials inspectors and engineers to inspect the ship.

It is possible to see Twisted pieces of the bridge Which decreased after Dali's crash. There are also torn metal sheets and Deformed parts of the structure.

There are also barrels scattered across the deck of Dali's ship. This is one of the reasons why inspectors entered the ship: there are fears that the contents of these toxic barrels could leak into the river water. In excerpts from the NTSB video, liquid can be seen on the deck of the cargo ship.

Inspectors also visited the flight deck and tested the facility's panels.

After the bridge collapsed, two people died after falling into the Patapsco River, and four others were missing and may have died, according to authorities. They were workers working to maintain the bridge.

Jennifer Homendy, director general of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the agency is investigating whether the use of inappropriate fuel somehow caused the ship to lose power, leaving it out of control.

The ship, a Singapore-flagged container ship, had just left the port of Baltimore heading to Sri Lanka. But minutes before hitting the bridge, the commander reported that he had requested control of the ship.
