It has been 35 days since the bridge collapsed in Baltimore, USA, but 20 Indian crew members are still trapped in the ship. The accident took place on March 26. Because of this, a part of the Baltimore Bridge collapsed and fell into the water. There were also casualties.
Indian crew members are still present on the crew
Had the accident not happened, the crew members would have reached their destination Sri Lanka. But they are forced to live in a cargo ship off the coast of the American port city of Baltimore. Jim Lawrence, a spokesman for the Dali-owned company, said the Indian crew members were still in the crew and their morale had not dropped.
Tourists can stay for one more month
Lawrence said that in addition to his duties on the ship, he is also assisting with the ongoing investigation into the accident. He is also being counseled continuously. The Indian embassy has refused to release information about those still on board. Experts say all of these could remain on the ship for a few more weeks or months. When they are let go, priority will be given to those members who are junior.
