National Transport Safety Bureau investigators are carrying out their work on board the stricken Dali container ship that's stuck in the Patapsco River, days after it hit the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge. 

On Wednesday, rescuers in Baltimore recovered two more bodies in the search for the construction workers who were killed when the vessel collided with the bridge in the early hours of Tuesday, destroying it. 

Meanwhile, the Dali's 22 man crew are still on board the boat, with no date set for when they can disembark.  

An official said that divers located the bodies of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 36, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, inside of a red pickup truck that was plunged 25 feet into the frigid Patapsco River after the impact.

A day earlier, workers named two other victims as Miguel Luna, 49, and Maynor Suazo, 38. 

Their colleague, Jesus Campos, who was not working on the fateful night, earlier told the media that the group were on their meal break at the time of the crash and that two were in a work truck. 

Maryland State Police Superintendent Col. Roland L. Butler said while announcing the location of the bodies, that rescuers had 'exhausted all search efforts' as the debris has made the underwater crash site too volatile.

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy was asked during the press conference about the supplies that the crew on the ship have. She joked: 'The cook was cooking when I got on board, it smelled very good, and I was very hungry.'  

Video released Wednesday showed NTSB investigators moving around the vessel, taking photos and surveying the wreckage left after Tuesday's disaster.  

The 22-man crew are all citizens of India. One suffered minor injuries after the collision. The ship was en route to Sri Lanka from Baltimore, a voyage that would have taken 27 days. 

The ship was carrying 56 containers filled with 764 tons of hazardous materials, including some flammable and corrosive items.  

More is being learned about the victims of the bridge collapse. 

Alejandro Fuentes lived in Baltimore, Dorlian Cabrera lived in Dundalk, Maryland. All of the members of the construction crew were from Latin America. They all worked for a company named Brawner Builders. 

'He was always so happy to be able to share what little he was able to make over there in the United States. Everyone else always came first,' Suazo's nephew, Hector Guardado, told the Washington Post. 

Soon after 1am on Tuesday morning, the Dali smashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, destroying the structure entirely.

Miguel Luna's son, Marvin, said that he didn't know about the bridge collapse until his friends called him. 

Eighteen years ago, Sandoval set out on his own for the U.S. looking for opportunities. 

He had worked as an industrial technician in Honduras, repairing equipment in the large assembly plants, but the pay was too low to get ahead, one of his brothers, Martín Suazo
