As massive cranes lifted pieces of the Key Bridge out of the Patapsco River around them, as divers searched the debris-filled waters for bodies below them, and even as explosive charges detonated, breaking apart millions of pounds of steel right above them, the 21-man crew has remained on board the Dali.
Their only face-to-face interactions have been with investigators and salvage crews.
"I've been communicating with them via WhatsApp about weekly. The last time I was in touch with them was this morning," Reverend Messick, port chaplain and Executive Director for Baltimore International Seafarers' Center, said. He's been providing support to the Dali crew since the collapse.
He says the shipping company that owns the Dali, Synergy Marine, is taking good care of its crew.
The Unified Command is expected to re-float the Dali early next week, and move it from the channel. Then the men on board should have a chance to get off the ship, likely five at time. They'll have to be escorted by Rev. Messick and his team. Messick said he’ll find out what the crew wants to do, and where they want to go once they’re able to disembark.

Amazing how they can just hold those men as hostages. How is that not illegal?

At least the captan should face the American Justice and be charged with involuntary man slaughter if the investigations prove this wasn’t a terrorist act or foul play.

I thought at least some crew members already left. I didn't know the ship had sunk.

I hope they have good insurance.

Who's the clown that decided portrait was the choice? Is this the same individual that decided it should also be cropped? It's like toddlers were turned loose with a Fisher Price video editor. I'm surprised at the lack of 80's transitions.
