The US Navy will soon use barges with cranes to remove parts of the bridge. As the inquiry into why the crash happened gathers pace, investigators want to know whether dirty fuel played a role. Experts say contaminated fuel can cause a ship to black out, as the Dali did on Tuesday. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
