The Singaporean-flagged cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore this week was involved in another accident several years ago‚ according to newly unearthed video. Reuters reported that the 1‚000-foot Dali hit a port on July 11‚ 2016‚ as it tried to leave the North Sea container terminal in Antwerp‚ Belgium. The ship reportedly suffered damage that was serious enough that it impacted the ship’s seaworthiness‚ causing the ship to remain docked for a long time while it underwent repairs. WATCH: The ship has been inspected more than two dozen times and has recorded two “deficiencies‚” according to records obtained by CNN. “In June of 2023‚ in San Antonio‚ Chile‚ the Chilean authorities gave the DALI a ‘deficiency’ for ‘propulsion and auxiliary machinery — gauges‚ thermometers‚ etc‚'” the report said‚ according to Equasis records. The National Transportation Safety Board gave details about this week’s accident in a newly released timeline. The ship departed Seagirt Marine Terminal at approximately 12:39
 a.m. By 1:07 a.m.‚ it had entered the Fort McHenry Channel. By 1:24 a.m.‚ the ship was underway on a true heading of approximately 141 degrees in the Fort McHenry Channel at an indicated speed over ground of approximately 8 knots/9 miles per hour. Roughly one minute later‚ “numerous aural alarms were recorded on the ship’s bridge audio‚” the NTSB reported‚ adding‚ “Around the same time‚ VDR ship system data ceased recording‚ however‚ the VDR audio continued to be recorded using the VDR’s redundant power source. Around 01:26:02‚ the VDR resumed recording ship system data. During this time‚ there were steering commands and rudder orders on the VDR audio.” “Around 01:26:39 the ship’s pilot made a general VHF radio call for tugs in the vicinity of the DALI. MDTA data from around this time indicated the pilot association dispatcher phoned the MDTA duty officer regarding the blackout. Around 1:27:04‚ the pilot commanded the DALI to drop the port anchor and issued additional steering commands‚” the NTSB continued. “Around 1:27:25‚ the pilot issued a radio call over the VHF radio and reported the DALI had lost all power approaching the Key Bridge‚” the NTSB stated‚ adding that at roughly 1:29 a.m.‚ “the ship’s speed over ground was recorded as just under 7 knots/8 miles per hour. From this moment until approximately 1:29:33‚ VDR audio recorded sounds consistent with the collision with the Key bridge.”

The Taliban vowed in a message to the West over the weekend that it will soon return to stoning women to death in public. “You say it’s a violation of women’s rights when we stone them to death‚” said Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada‚ according to The Telegraph. “But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public.” “These are all against your democracy but we will continue doing it‚” he continued. “We both say we defend human rights – we do it as God’s representative and you as the devil’s.” The publication said that these remarks are the most extreme that he has made since the Biden administration effectively handed over control of Afghanistan to the Taliban during President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdraw from the country in August 2021.

They are against Sharia and clerics’ opinions‚ the clerics who toppled Western democracy‚” he said. “I told the Mujahedin that we tell the Westerners that we fought against you for 20 years and we will fight 20 and even more years against you.” “It did not finish [when you left]. It does not mean we would now just sit and drink tea. We will bring Sharia to this land‚” he continued. “It did finish after we took over Kabul. No‚ we will now bring Sharia into action.” A U.N. report from last year found that 37 people had already been sentenced to stoning under the Taliban regime and that more than 100 had received sentences for “crimes against God”‚ according to Fox News. Some of the punishments included lashings and having walls knocked down on individuals.
