There is no word like "busied" friends. Busy is an adjective. Its not a verb. So it is also a mistake in that sentence.

Yes I agree with @Salman where future tense was used with by using time clause like they soon became busy.

I think it should be the crew was on board as it refers to a group n we use a singular tense with it.

Crew is a collective noun and it's used as a single unit so it will be The Crew Was.

@Parul is right.
Crew refers to a group of people.
The crew was on board.
Crew refers to a group of people.
The crew was on board.

@Santhosh busied is the simple past and past participle form of 'busy'.

Crew is already a group of people. Then why they have used crews?
