Emergency generator was activated before collision

Unfortunately, I believe it will be difficult to establish facts about this incident. There is missing data from the MV Dali's black box. I will keep investigating and close these out as reliable info becomes available.

@Yoae I don’t think you should feel too much pressure to resolve these quickly. There will be official reports coming out in the coming weeks and months, and I don’t see any harm in keeping many of these open until verified by a credible source, for example the coast guard or NTSB investigations.

It's too late for me to edit it now, but in the "overload trip mechanism" option, I meant to refer to an "over SPEED trip mechanism", as described here.

Hope you don't mind me adding all the options, @Yoae - I'm also not seeing the option to resolve them (not to say that I'd resolve any at this time, just to say that I think you're the only person with power to resolve) so I hope I'm writing these clearly enough that you'll be able to settle them at close.

@Jwags I closed out one possibility. It is hard to verify anything about this incident so far. If you have any reliable sources with answers, please let me know.

We already know the ship lost power either partially or completely.
