Plane still stuck due to debris
This incident is being investigated by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Part of the bridge is demolished in an attempt to free the crew members. Let us tell you that after the incident, the plane got stuck in the debris and due to heavy pressure, it became difficult to rescue the people trapped in the plane. Officials hope this will help the crew reunite with their families miles away. These people are staying on the ship because the ship is still stuck due to the debris of the bridge.
Now, a preliminary report from federal investigators released Tuesday says 'The Dolly' had suffered two power outages before the disaster. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report also details two blackouts ten hours before leaving Baltimore.
Indian crew members trapped in the plane
Please note that due to visa restrictions and investigations by the NTSB and FBI, the crew is unable to land. The name of the crashed cargo ship is 'The Daily'. Jim Lawrence, spokesperson for The Daily's owner Grace Ocean Pvt Ltd, recently told IANS that the Indian crew members were on board the ship and in good condition.
“In addition to performing normal duties onboard the ship, they are also assisting in the investigation and ongoing rescue operations,” Lawrence said.
In April, the FBI launched a criminal investigation targeting the plane, with agents aboard The Dalkey as part of the investigation. Rev. Joshua Messick, executive director of the Baltimore International Seafarers Center, told PTI that the crew has been virtually cut off from the outside world as their cellphones have been seized by the FBI as part of the investigation.
Phones delivered without SIM card and data
Messick told the BBC that the crew were given SIM cards and temporary cell phones without data. According to a BBC report, they also received care packages from various community groups – which also included Indian breakfast and food.
The NTSB said Daly was just 0.6 miles from the bridge when the electrical breakers that operated most of the plane's instruments and lighting suddenly shut off, causing the first blackout.
It lost propulsion and steering and began to deviate from direction. Crews managed to restore power briefly, but when the cast was only 0.2 miles from the bridge, the lights went out again.
US President Joe Biden promised to rebuild the bridge last month and said a new channel would be open to shipping traffic by the end of May.
