After being stranded on a cargo ship for 12 weeks following a tragic incident that led to the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, some of the crew members may finally be able to return to their families. Attorneys for the City of Baltimore and the ship's owner and manager have reached a deal that could allow eight crew members to fly home as early as Thursday.
The crew, consisting of 20 Indians and one Sri Lankan, has been unable to leave the ship since March 26 when the vessel lost power and caused the bridge disaster, resulting in the deaths of six construction workers. While investigations are ongoing to determine responsibility for the catastrophe, none of the crew members have been charged in connection with the incident.
