- The video and images supplied by Unified Command show up close the damage to the ship. It's not a walk in the park for Salvors to prepare the ship to be removed from the site.
Some of these images have been modified to give viewers a sense of scale of the job that lies ahead. Thanks to Unified Command for suppling these images for us today.
Thanks for joining the Minorcan Navy and being a part of this historic salvage.

Was just thinking how many times I've driven over that patch of roadway. Still--STILL--hard to believe it's all gone. Thanks for your coverage, sir.
You bet
Oh it ain't gone - they know where it is...
Me too still hard to believe. I preferred to take the tunnel, however, when there was tunnel congestion or an accident in the tunnel I then drove over the bridge.
As a former deckhand on merchant ships these images of the damage are horrifying. Imagine the amount of force it took to break that mooring winch into pieces as if it were made of plastic. Thank you for the upload.
Many thanks, Captain Andy. Appreciate all you do in poor weather as well. Awesome video. Blessings. Sherry 🥰 🙏 🚢
Thank you kindly
I had seen these images & video but it's MUCH better seeing them when you are narrating.
Thanks Captain Andy. You and all of the workers involved stay safe. God Bless.
Thank You for this first hand close look. It’s sad lives were lost but looking at this devastation I’m so thankful it wasn’t worse in the cost of lives. Thanks Again!!
You are very welcome
Glad you had a safe journey Cpt. Andy. Just imagine the terror on the bridge, when they realized they weren't gonna make it. Clearing the bridgework and roadbed off of the Dali, will be an engineers nightmare. Thanks for what you do Cpt. Andy and have a safe trip back. Looking forward to the live stream.
Your coverage of this entire tragic event is superb. Thank you for bringing it to us all. I’m eager to view it every day. Those who are physically working round the clock are fantastic.
Thanks, Captain Andy. You are my go-to source since the Golden Ray.
That bridge isn't made of thin metal. That steel is 1, 1-1/2 and 2 inch thick girders, possibly thicker in some spots. Not easily cut. It takes time. Thanks for the video. Jon
This puts it into perspective the size and scale of this job
Captain Andy !! Great work as Jeff used your video to show the "WEEKS"" 553 moving that portion of the bridge off the DALI !! Onward to 50K subscribers by the time they get the DALI clear of the channel !!!
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for your commentaries! It's appreciated alot!
You are so welcome!
There is a IMO (International Maritime Regulation) that requires all ships have a certain amount of visibility in front of them. That is why the older container ships have a slope on the height of the container stack as you move towards the bow. This is why the newer ones have the pilot house forward (the 18k plus TEU ships). If you want to see something, take a look at the Bob Hope class LMSRs - They had to cut the bridge off and elevate it one deck to get the visibility in front of the ship. Thanks again Capt Andy! Ex - shipbuilder and Maritime College Graduate...
Thanks Captain Andy ❤
You are so welcome
I have not seen any of this footage before...Astounding does not describe this damage !! I'm surprised the entire bow was not severed. I know you're glad to be back in Georgia for a few days and sunny weather 😎
Lol...went over to the Jekyll pier yesterday, caught 3 flounder and a bucket of crabs...had a nice breeze from the SW and about 85° It was really nice over there. Look forward to you getting back to the Dali and thanks for this great update!
Me either
Thank you Captain~~Stay safe everyone
"it's just a huge mess" That is the perfect description of what is on the M/V Dali's bow.
Thank you for the Awesome Pics, Amazing!!❤️❤️❤️
Our pleasure!
On Board. Mr.Andy. I been watching you for the last 2 days I was just stay quite. Stay Safe Mr.Andy
Great video THANK YOU for sharing it with us.
Our pleasure!
I got a chuckle during that earlier video when you were laser focused on the big crane slinging that big claw around. Hundreds of tons of steel hanging on the Weeks passing by unnoticed.
It did exactly that. I wasn't watching the telescopic camera, missed it until I started editing.
Great shots and info. Only a Transformer could move this out of the way. This shows what a daunting task.!!!!
This was great.... gives a really good appreciation of the massive scale of both the ship and the bridge... that column supporting the bridge just cut in half looks like a small house upl close.... man!! This was carnage
This old Coastie thanks you for your efforts. Have a safe passage.
Of all I have seen this was incredible! Massive catastrophe. Really like your videos and updates. Thank you!
Thanks!
Welcome!
Cameras on the bow or not, doesn’t matter. The ship had lost power, no propulsions or steerage. At that point, the ship was going to go where it wanted to go.
Thanks for sharing
Great Footage! Thanks!
Thank you too!
Hey Andy I hope you are enjoying your time up there. I look forward to you getting back to shrimping around Jekyll and St. Simons. Congrats on 30K subscribers. If you start talking like them Northerners I'll tell you it's time to come home.🤣 Thanks and God Bless
Love your work on this, been following from the beginning.
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
@@MinorcanMullet was that you in the last frame? I see you're known to some as Capt Andy?
excellent images. This cleanup is going to take a very long time. The engineers were probably scratching their heads "Huh..."
In awe! Thanks,
That ship was constructed properly...very solid peace of machinery
one of the best channels about this... video and pictures and little talking... great stuff
Thank you , enjoyed!!
👏👏👏👏👏CONGRATULATIONS!!! You surpassed 30,000 subs!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Enjoyed the video really something to see
Unbelievable video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you too!
Amazing footage of the carnage. Everything looks so massive but when there’s a crash they just crumple. Thank you and cheers from Australia .
Thanks for the GREAT videos!
I love seeing your pictures
Thanks for showing that detail, cause that's where My interest lies. I saw some of it before, however, this one had more detail than the other one they showed. Very Very good. I used to work at a printing factory, and in one of the torn containers, you could see big rolls of paper, and I knew right then, that at least for that container, is probably going for a printing factory somewhere, and now, well, it's trash I suppose. I wonder what will happen to all those containers of Stock? Did you know they have containers way down underneath the Deck of the Dali, that's even more containers. Wow! Thanks Minorcan. Terry
They will file insurance clam's and scrap all that stuff once the Dali is moved.
oh, ok, that makes sense. Thanks for your input.
Fantastic videos, Thanks for posting
Great video, thank you!
These days with cheap 4K cameras, you'd think they would have it ringed with cameras.
Any word on the stolen cars exposed in containers?
The images of thick steel and heavy concrete twisted into pretzels is amazing. The sight if the spalled concrete and twisted rebar inside the broken pier is also interesting. I image it will be highlighted in engineering schools for some time to come.
Thank you for the close-ups and the assembly and cutting of the video tour of the Dali. Much obliged.
Do you remember a kids game from years ago called “pick-up-sticks”. Deciding which girder should be removed next reminds me of that game. 😂😂😂
This video shows how dangerous the environment is in which the workers are operating. Obviously great care needs to be exercised in order to ensure the safety of the workers, even if this delays of the operation and incurs more cost. It is essentially that there are no other injuries and deaths.
Great footage of how damaged the Dali his and all that debris from the bridge structure still resting on ship itself, keep up the great work, big thumbs to your RUclips channel!
👍👍😉❤️
Fantastic explanation, I think there’s a few people that comment on this bridge collapse that just do not understand the enormous size and weight of some of those bits of metalwork, they seem to think it should all be cleared by now. They cannot comprehend that a salvage job like this has to be done in a sequence for safety and not to cause more damage to the ship. If one of those sections of metalwork slipped it could rip the side of the hull out and let it fill with water creating an even bigger mess. Plus, have they found the last workman’s body yet? If not he still has to be carefully searched for beneath all that hanging steel.
Found him today. Latest posted video.
Outstanding!
hey Captain Andy, great you been able to share these images from Unified Command, very interesting stuff and pretty epic to see the scale up close and personal - its a dangerous game of Jenga pulling this puzzle to pieces, its so impressive to see how the ship and the containers helped to absorb the huge stresses put upon it when the bridge collapsed, you have to consider how everything worked in favor of saving the ship and managing to keep it upright - can you imagine where we'd be if the Dali had capsized, ye God's it would be such a huge mess, at least this way the ship and vast majority of its goods can be salvaged along with the bridge's steel
i'm not surprised at the use of cutting charges as i mentioned a few times before, it makes perfect sense to do some of the work remotely and keep folk out of danger, these cuts are going to be crucial and i'm sure there has been so much thought gone into this process, plus i think its good to see things getting blown up, i just hope the careful planning will prevent any of the major trusses from hitting the ship anywhere about the waterline, all calculated in i'm sure and as with building detonation, cable will be put in place to keep parts from going astray - this will make an epic documentary when the time comes, and of course it goes without saying lives were lost here, but will never be forgotten, as with all these disasters from around the world
Thanks for the fascinating pictures
Great explanation, thank you! 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video great footage From UC keep up the Awesome work and dedication
I can't imagine how loud that was when it all came down. I don't think I've seen any footage that includes the audio of the collapse.
The crew had quite a jolt.
Amazing content!!
Glad you think so!
det cord is used for all kinds of cutting
Well, it has to be a little stronger than det cord to 100% cut the metal.
Yes, det cord will be used between the charges.
Yes, det cord will breach a door with a little help or cut wood, but it would just blacken these beams.
Math and timing for the controlled explosion will be done and verified 3-4 times. Each blast will have an engineering drawing.
❤hello Captain Andy
doin' a greatjob Capt!!!!........ don'y be gone too long!
woah
More than likely, they’ll cut the parts of the bridge from either side of the ship and leave the section that’s on the ship itself to remove the ship from the site. The section of bridge on the ship can be removed from another location
We gotta realize that that Bridge span on the boat is a full FOUR LANE HIGHWAY wide.
Hey brother, it looks like they are taking a piece at a time , to safe guard yourselves, and not sink or damage the ship more then it is. 😊😊😊😊
The containers absorbed very much of the impact of the bridge falling.
Great work!! You just explained the rationale about your music. I understand and I’ll take it into consideration
Captain Andy, Disregard my request to identify the JAMES vessel. It is a barge used by Don Jon. Thanks for your great participation in this salvage operation.
Bowfront view will be either electronic or be supplied by one of the ships officers or the captain's mate during shoreside operations or whenever such control is required and infos are then transmited to the bridge.
Stationed of course at the fore.
Thank you for all the updates. Any idea when you will be returning to Baltimore?????
Just imagine If this heavy equipment wasn’t available to remove the massive pieces of the bridge!!!!
Excellent coverage and update on what's going on with the Dali.
On a different note, have you ever competed in the Ernest Hemingway look-alike competition?
You would think that a ship that size would have multiple, high resolution TV cameras to show all sides of the water around it. Not only for monitors on the Bridge, but with software to analyze the video streams for anything that could cause a collision with anything.
Construction of such vessels are quite safe and professional..
It's about transportation, not entertainment.
@@lisette2060 Only am idiot would consider the use of a navigational aid comprised of video cameras and monitors on the bridge to be entertainment. They would only be used while in port, unless they encountered trouble during a voyage.
I suppose that all of the monitors that I used to maintain in US Army Air Traffic Control towers were used for video games, instead of weather data?
Cool stuff Mullet!
Thanks!
In places it’s hard to tell what is bridge and what is ship on the video from the bow of the Dali.
That WAS part of a windlass albeit cast isn't truly impact resistant. The other pieces of deck that ripped open above that from the road bed and bridge sure looks to be 2" thick and just tore like paper.
This Will Take Time..Lots Of 24/7 Work.
Any idea as to what shot across the trees in the background???
Their making V-cuts Where they are going to be placing shape charges to cut the steel.
The Dali was known to have electrical problems long before even getting close to the bridge.
Boy, I don’t see how there going to move that ship in four days, that’s a massive amount of rubble & steel to move, hope everyone stays safe
Yeah but the clean-up after the terrorist attacks of 911 took one year!
are there cameras on the bow to help the with the view when underway? instead of guessing what's beyond and below all those containers when in motion.
Something known as compas, maps and radar are long used successfully in this industry ...😉
Wow
I believe the ship was saved from worse damage by all those containers acting as a crumple zone.
How many shipping containers are they high and across namely near the front of the ship?
It makes me nervous just watching those guys walking around in there.
Who are the people we see working? Where do they come from and who exactly do they work for?
They don’t have cameras on the bow to see in front of the ship?
Can the Dali be repaired? At what cost?
Do we have fire works on the 4 of July ?
Why is the bridge set so far back from the bow giving the Captain zero visibility of the front . I’ve seen some new ships with the bridge right in front . .
👍😁
How do they know what to cut next?
Salvage engineers study and advise.
Is there still one worker missing? 😪
When they were cutting some of the structures, they were dropping them in the water. Putting a chain on the piece when it is above water eliminates all the fun of trying to find it in the murky water. Unless they WANT to leave the bottom of the channel covered in debris.
I don’t think it’s deep enough to leave debris in the channel. The ships are so heavy in the water I think it’s only a few feet clearance.
0:45 install an action camera on the forecastle with a monitor on the bridge
Is the ships crew still on board? How are they eating and are they allowed to be off of the ship?
The crew are still onboard the ship. They have power, food and water. The crew is not allowed off the ship.
