there are different types of insurances. the ones with credit cards, IIRC, is for delays, not interruptions. maybe you should look into other insurances that will cover your trip being interrupted in the sense that you cannot continue on it.
i took out this kind of insurance for a big trip through asia where i had to make connections between airlines that were not on the same PNR.
