Largest Section of Bridge to Date Removed
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 апр 2024
- The Dali collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge clean up effort made a significant lift of the debris on Sunday. The salvage group Donjon Marine removed the largest section of the bridge to date with the Chesapeake 1000 crane. The Bridge Collapse Site is presenting incredible challenges, but Baltimore Harbor is expected to be reopened by the end of May.

The magnitude of this project is overwhelming. Thanks for showing us what it takes to get the job done. 👍
It would be easy to get depressed. They just have to do what they can, one step at a time. They are very likely to fall behind schedule as the work is highly unpredictable.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Gets anything done
No it isn't. Your lack of understanding does not change the complexity of the world around you.
@@Look_What_You_Did So this just looks like an ordeinary everyday clean-up job to you?
April 18, 2:41 Pacific time, viewing from Pleasanton, CA. I lived in Ellicott City for 32 years.
You don't really understand the sheer size of the structure until you see the up close videos of people next to it. It's mind blowing.
I had to go down to trade point Atlantic the Amazon side to get pictures with my phone you get a real up close understanding of the destruction 😢
The steel members are about 1” thick and 3’ square HSS. !!!500 lbs a foot. !!
I work construction. We used cranes with 3 and 400 foot booms. They used 12 or more semi trailers sized concrete counter weights on the back of the winch house. Some of those cranes in the video could have lifted the weights to be put on the biggest crane we used.
The towers were 300 plus feet we're working on. Now imagine a crane to set that 300 foot tower..😂. Usually, the crane is twice the structures height.

My husband doesn't understand my interest with this whole scenario, from the crash on, but I, as a former structural engineering technician, am just fascinated. Thank you for your reports!
Captain Andy, we are greatful for all you are doing. You have come a long way since the Golden Ray.
The tug boat guided tour was awesome
Thanks are not enough.
Also thanks to the cooperation of all the people that are involved.
God bless you.
Keep all safe.
Thank you so much! So many of the relationships I developed during the Golden Ray removal are still vital to the understanding of the process going on in Baltimore.
This is the only coverage worth watching of the work being done. I salute you sir!
This is truly a massive operation, the people doing this work are truly skilled!! You don't realize how huge these pieces are thank you for your content.
What a ballet of cranes, dredges, tugs big and small, and other craft. The Chesapeake 1000 takes center stage with its big lift. Thank you for filming this. Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.
Your kind words capture the scene perfectly. Feeling the pain of Baltimore is real for me, and hopefully these images will help those affected
Captain Andy, the video clarity, fantastic audio, editing and even the background dove and water sounds are absolutely awesome. Many thanks for being there to show all of us what exactly is happening - minute by minute. Stay safe. Blessings. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🚢
A masterclass in salvage at scale in the US..thanks for posting keep up the great work. One thing people may not notice is the Dali and how she is holding up with the added weight for the amount of time.
She's not holding up it's hit the dirt at the bottom it's why they can't move it till the weight is taken off it.
@@Bigdog1787 so by holding up...I mean no bow collapse with the extra tonnage and damage she sustained...thanks
I imagine it helps that she has her bow driven hard into the mud below.
@@chuckgriffith4539Well It crushed as far as it was going to crush. I'm figuring by the time it got to that point it was semi supported by the bottom mud at the other end.
@@Bigdog1787 ..well done big doggy i hadn't thought about that...i just assumed it was held fast by the collapsed bridge section and the stern anchor.hadn't thought about the ship bow actually bottoming out.
Amazing professionals. Thank god we have people who know how to do this.
Captain Andy, thank you for the time, and dedication to bring us sightseeing and sounds of a historic salvage. We often fail to realize the magnitude of an operation due to superficial coverage of an operation. This is very interesting.
Thanks for all the time you have spent to bring this bit of the cleanup effort on the bridge. By far the best footage we will see, keep up the great work.
Really like the format : time lapse + radio chatter + natural sounds. Subbed !
That's worthwhile watching! Progress of a monumental task! This process is exactly what we need to see. Thanks...
Always a good up-to-date presentation from you. The Baltimore news people need to learn something from you. Thank you, again!
Yes continue providing videos, these people doing this work are very professional and good at what they do! Thank you
Awesome video! This is fascinating to watch. It shows the massive effort required to resolve this catastrophe. Thank you, keep it up!
Ahoy Captain. Your far better than the media. Thank you so much. Awesome information. Stay safe now. x
Greetings from the west coast! I'm a crane "junkie" and love watching these cranes position and do their work. A mechanical ballet! On land this would be difficult to cut, separate and move, now put this on water and you have an entirely different set of variables to work with. True professionals. Nice to see! Hopes for continued safe work conditions and a valuable lesson in protecting our delicate infrastructure! One suggestion is for a wind sock for your microphone on those windy days.🙂
Thankyou for showing the magnitude, and the intricacy of this project. The tugs and other boats look like toys.
Wow! I really loved being part of the LIVE steam of this day with you and we saw some amazing coverage, but the overall clarity and the editing here in this version are Top Notch! Well done Captain .. Well Done Sir!
You're the best!
Really appreciate the detail you bring to showing us this recovery. Please don't ever worry about showing too much, there's always fast forward on our part although I have to admit I don't use it as much on you as I do on some. Looking forward to watching through your lens this whole operation.
Captain Andy, what an incredible sequence! Got to love the morning dawn light!
Loving all your great coverage of this! Picture and audio quality are fantastic too. Thank you! 😊
Really nice job of editing. The lift is very subtle in real time. Also appreciated the ongoing work of the Cashman claw bringing up debris plus the man basket checking the rigging etc.
The dance is amazing to watch, I appreciate your videography!
I would like to know how the engineers decide where to make the cuts on the debris to prevent shifting of the structures while they're removing pieces. I know weight determines some size restrictions, but if you move the wrong piece at the wrong time you create a dangerous situation.
Crane operators with experience make the engineers look good.
Real life Jenga.
WOW!! Amazing! This is just so awesome to watch these skilled people do this work!! And to be able to learn about their craft!! Thank you so much for providing❤👍this GREAT coverage!!😊
You really get a sense of the amount of work that is going on and the great people that are cleaning up this mess. Great idea to fast forward. Please keep up the great work
Good stuff !! Still amazed at the size of this bridge and the massive lifts and coordination! Army COEs are truly professionals! They always do things right!
I am in awe at the skills of all of these people, & they did it w/out having to study the situation for 6 months. The engineers, the boat captains/pilots, crane operators, people on the ground & on the ships---it makes me pretty proud (not that we're the ONLY country that could do this---but I'm proud that we can!). This is like watching that t.v. show Highway Through Hell---you are watching someone do the impossible! I've never watched your channel before, it just popped up, but I would definitely watch more & would love more detailed explanations of the equipment & exactly what they are doing, at least, when you can tell!
Cool footage, thanks for taking the time to share with everyone.
Thank You for the coverage, it’s the best!
Fantastic pictures!!! Great editing. Thank you
Such a better channel to watch when compared to a StreamTime Live.
All praise and thanks to all the skilled watermen/women in their efforts to restore the bridge and waterway. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your insightful videos. Powerful movement, outstanding skills and work going on, thank you everyone!
Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing. I liked watching the clamshell bucket tugging on debris while the big crane made its lift. Didn’t realize the crane barge traveled with load on it.
You are doing a great job reporting the goings on. I am from Saskatchewan, Canada and it is 3:AM almost. Gaston
Thanks so much for this video. Thanks to everyone who posts these video updates. Unlike many, my entire livelihood hinges on the resolution of this situation, and it calms my anxiety a bit as I see progress encouraging me we may hopefully get back to work soon.
Brilliant video Andy. Those guys have amazing precision and skill. Stay safe and healthy.
those crane operators are top-notch,that piece of bridge wasn't even moving during transfer,what skill!
You hit an interesting nail on the head with your comment that this is well planned! Biggest Jenga puzzle ever.
Thanks for the update
Thanks bunches for the upload bro I been trying to find some one covering this way more than the regular news was first time watching your content
I've been sitting here this morning watching this video. It is almost mesmerizing .. the colors the variety of boats .. the 'dance' of boats, machines and man.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for the amazing video. Sending prayers to the families of the victims and praying that these workers are free from any accidents 🙏🏽❤️
Best footage I've seen related to the bridge. It seems they are tackling more parts of the bridge at the same time which takes an extreme amount of planning and everyone on the same page. Thanks for your efforts!
Thanks for doing this for us. We appreciate your efforts.
Thank you for your coverage.
Thank you for posting these in progress video's, I find them interesting. The skill, knowledge, magnitude and accuracy of moving the huge structures is like a very delicate chess game with NO mistakes aloud. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! It is amazing how big those pieces are!
It really is!
So much going on. You have to be everywhere 👀to watch it all going on. Really moving things along at the moment. Pushing their deadlines. Thanks for letting us see this all going on right now 👍 nice weather day today. 🌞 cheers from SA 🇿🇦
Yes, I love to see how they are going to get the bridge sections out of the water. Love how you show the work, Thanks.
Awesome video. Shows so much work being done. Real progress
That metal is huge, and the barge men are very talented. Thanks for letting us see the work.
Yes thank u for showing! Happy to see sunshine for such a LARGE job, also sad. Unbelievable watching it fall like tooth picks & harder to watch the removal… it will take a long time. My prayers R with all involved 🙏🏻
Thanks for this video, it was very interesting to see how to remove these large sections.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The great work that is done by Everyone is appreciated. This is very interesting to watch. Thanks for posting
Amazing crane lift work and movement of the barge! Great video. Pieces so huge!
Much recognition has been given to the first responders and rightly so. They are true heroes. But now it's time to recognize the ongoing efforts of the crews who man the cranes, the tugs, all of the support boats, the divers and their support crews, the NTSB, USCG, USN, ACE, et al. They too are no less heroes going into harm's way. God Bless them and keep them safe from harm.
Thank you for this wonderful, clear video!
Thank you!!🇺🇸
The logistics, physical and administrative, are staggering. The smooth, so far, cooperation between several local, state, and federal government agencies, maybe a dozen (maybe more?) prime contractors and who knows how many sub-contractors, suppliers, etc. has been truly impressive.
Great idea to speed up the video and use only radio traffic as the audio. Excellent video.
Watching all of the coordinated movements and lift booms related ti lift reach and weight stability reminds me of learning many of these principles when I was a kid playing with my Erector Sets.
This cleanup job is insane. Just incredible job everyone is doing 🤯
As many others have said, awesome work and please keep doing your vlog from this project. Was early subscriber of channel and the Golden Ray video's quality and content was so far above anyone else. Thanks so much for your efforts.
After retiring from Crane's and rigging or just operating in general I really enjoyed this and hope you film more most people on here does understand the magnitude of such operations great video
I have been following the work on this site, we are not privy over here in the Uk to such information and videos, thank you and great work
I enjoyed the video and the length. Thanks for getting out there and making it happen.
Thanks to you guys for showing this segment I know the public was looking out for a day by day report. T V NEWS was not doing that so hat off to you guys
As a former seaman I am stunned by the complexity of the operation. Some very clever engineering solutions are needed here. A massive job.
Thanks for the upload.
Thank you very much!
Wow. Just fascinating. Thank you so much for this. Just proves with the right tools and planning anything can be accomplished.
Absolutely Amazing video! Thank you for posting. Also Thank you for all the men and women working on clearing all the wreckage .
Thank you too!
Busy busy day, lotsa picks. Thank you!
Thanks this is a great video please keep them coming.
Amazing. Thank you.
I’m going to explain something I haven’t seen mentioned in any reporting. Where each span rests on a pier, there is a bearing area that allows for expansion and contraction. This distance of travel is designed for anticipated heated and cooling. The impact of the Dali caused the spans to exceed this designed travel.
Thanks for that interesting information.
Yes but in general terms, the expansion and contraction joints are along the bridge (lengthways) and the Dali struck the bridge and moved the deck sideways, right-angles to the normal direction of movement due to heat/cold
@@cmartin_ok only on the two spans on that pier. In either case they exceeded the allowed bearing travel.
The spans on the impacted pier appear to have dropped straight down onto the Dali.
Amazing! Thanks for this
THANK YOU FOR GREAT DETAIL VIDEO
Wow, what a concert of machinery and minds! Great footage!
Thanks you Sir love the coverage of this
awesome video Thank you for your help to view this work being done.
Captain Andy deserves an Oscar the size of the smoke stack in the background for this magnificent video! 👏
Excellent work capt. Keep em coming
Keep the good work up and I enjoy it all. Thank you for taking the time.
Nobody of us,,,can't; imagine the tragedy of those two lost their loved one; s and the overwhelming size of this salvage operation ,,,RESPECT ♥ and stay safe ,,,Greetings from Norway
Thanks for sharing this.
Great job! I like watching lift parts of the bridge! Thks
2 👍👍I live in South Texas and enjoying watching this video and others that have been posted. I find it Very interesting to watch the clean up of that bridge. And still praying the 3 lost body's will be found for thier familys.
Keep up the good work.
thanks for showing this
Thanks for your excellent videos and commentary!! 👍🏻👏🙏
Thanks for the information before showing the video. Seeing the operation of such dimension was fascinating. Amazing what skilled workers can accomplish.
Thank you too!
They moved it so gracefully and gently you almost forget the massive amount of weight hanging from that hook! Congratulations to all !!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS !!!!
Yes, definitely want to see more like this!! Amazing!!
Thank you, keep working.
Excellent coverage Captain. Keep up the great job
😊
Great job Capt please keep it coming
I am Completely amazed at watching all the working operations , of the many different Powerful Cranes lifting those Very Heavy sections of The KEY Bridge's Steel girder Skeleton !
My wife and Myself lived in the Glen Burnie and Anne Arundel country Up until 1996 when We were Relocated to North Central NC . WE were heartbroken when We heard and Seen what happened To What We Passionately Thought was At One Time A Truly Modern Marvel of The Engineering World 🌍 ! WE Really enjoy watching Your Videos .
