"As A Result...": Biden's Shout-Out For SOS By Indian Crew On Ship
Description
New Delhi: US President Joe Biden praised local authorities for their prompt action during the accident at Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, one of the nation's busiest arteries that collapsed hours on Tuesday after being struck by a massive freight ship. He also made a special mention to the crew of the ship, all of whom were Indians.
"Personnel on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department of Transportation that they had lost control of their vessel, as you all know and have reported. As a result, local authorities were able to close the bridge to traffic before the bridge was struck, which undoubtedly saved lives," Biden said in his address.
"We're incredibly grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rushed to the scene," the US President added.
On Tuesday, the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali, departing Baltimore with a full cargo en route to Sri Lanka, crashed into a concrete pier supporting the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
Within seconds almost the entire bridge collapsed and plunged into what officials said was roughly 50 feet of frigid water below.
