[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 4240596, member: 41777"] The audio was still recorded just not the Voyage Data Recorder. Thirty minutes later, at[B] 1.07am[/B], the vessel entered Fort McHenry Channel. Numerous alarms were recorded on the ship’s bridge audio at [B]1.24am[/B]. Around the same time, the voyage data recorder (VDR) stopped recording the vessel’s system data, but was able to continue taping audio from an alternative power source. Two minutes later at [B]1.26am,[/B] the VDR resumed recording the [I]Dali[/I]’s system data and captured steering commands and orders about its rudder. That same minute, the pilot issued a very high frequency radio call to nearby tugboats requesting assistance for the stricken vessel. Data from the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) showed that the pilot association dispatcher called the MDTA duty officer about a blackout. At [B]1.27am[/B], the pilot ordered the [I]Dali[/I] to drop the port anchor, along with other steering commands. The pilot also issued another high frequency radio call, reporting that the ship had lost all power and was approaching the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A transit authority duty officer alerted two units — one on each side of the bridge — who were already on scene and ordered them to stop traffic, shutting down all lanes. [/QUOTE]
