The MV Dali cargo ship with 20 Indian and one Sri Lankan crew members collided with the 2.6-km-long four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26. The accident resulted in the death of six crew members and the FBI and federal agencies in the US have launched investigations.
For the time being, the crew has been given SIM cards and temporary mobile phones without data included. "They just can't reach out to the folks they need to, or even look at pictures of their children before they go to sleep. It's really a sad situation," said a US Coast Guard Admiral.
