\"'Heroes':<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The container ship that rammed a bridge in US’ Baltimore, causing it to collapse almost entirely and sending cars and people plunging into the river below, was manned entirely by a crew of Indians. This was confirmed by shipping company Maersk, which had chartered the Singapore-flagged container ship, named Dali.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a report by news agency AFP, several vehicles and nearly 20 people are believed to have fallen into the Patapsco River after the 300-metre-long vessel crashed into one of the legs of the bridge. The ship had a crew of 22 members, all of whom were Indian.\u00a0Quoting the Synergy Marine Group, which manages the Dali, a report said all crew members had been accounted for and none of them were injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Footage showed lights going out on the ship just before it rammed a leg of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a portion of which collapsed on the vessel itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Maryland’s governor said the ship, which was moving at a “rapid” eight knots (nine miles per hour), issued a Mayday call moments before it collided with the pillar of the bridge and this helped saved lives as some road traffic could be stopped.<\/p>\n

“These people are heroes. They saved lives last night,” Governor Wes Moore was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
