Efforts are underway to remove the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Officials said reopening the Port of Baltimore is the top priority.
Andrew Middleton, the director of a ministry in Dundalk, Md., said he had been in touch with crew members aboard the Dali on Friday morning. The crew, which federal officials have said includes around 23 people, have been aboard the Dali since it crashed into the Key Bridge early Tuesday morning. Middleton said Friday that the crew requested WiFi and new SIM cards to communicate with family back home.
The ministry director said he knows the crew has a TV on board but was trying to figure out whether they had access to live local programming. Middleton said he is coordinating with other ministries and local companies to get WiFi, SIM cards and an antennae to the crew members. He expected the first delivery to go out Saturday.
