On the morning of March 26th, the Dali cargo ship lost power and rammed into a support pier on Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. The collision caused one of the bridge’s spans to break and fall into the water, killing six construction workers on the bridge at the time. The wreck has also blocked one the busiest shipping lanes in the United States. The Honors College will present a panel of faculty with expertise on engineering, labor history and supply chain to discuss the impact of the accident. Wednesday, April 24th, in GEAR 258.

Faculty who will provide context and lead a question-and-answer session include:
Michael Pierce, Labor History, University of Arkansas; Gary Prinze, Civil Engineering, University of Arkansas; Marc Scott, Supply Chain Management, University of Arkansas
