Baltimore Bridge Collapse: 8 Indian Crew Members Return Home, 13 Remain in US

The aftermath of the recent Baltimore bridge collapse continues to unfold, with the focus now shifting to the fate of the Indian crew members aboard the cargo ship MV Dali, which was involved in the incident.

Eight Indian crew members have chosen to return to India, while 13 others have decided to remain in the United States, according to recent reports. The decision was likely influenced by a combination of personal circumstances and the ongoing investigation into the bridge collapse.

The MV Dali was carrying construction materials when it struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge on June 16th, 2023, causing a significant structural failure. The incident resulted in no fatalities but left several individuals injured and caused substantial disruption to traffic in the Baltimore area.

The crew members’ return to India comes at a time when the investigation into the bridge collapse is still ongoing. Authorities are focusing on determining the cause of the accident, examining the ship’s navigation, and evaluating the bridge’s structural integrity.

This incident has brought to light the potential risks associated with maritime transportation and the critical importance of safety protocols. It also highlights the human element involved in such events, with the lives of the crew members directly affected.

The future of the remaining 13 crew members in the US remains uncertain. It is unclear how their status will be affected by the ongoing investigation and the potential legal ramifications of the bridge collapse.
