  • Jeff Ostoff shows you the latest video of a construction truck reported to be one of the missing construction vehicles that sank to the bottom of the Patapsco River at the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The video also shows more large debris and trusses that were hauled up.
    Highlights include moving another large section of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge truss, as well as moving the bridge truss over to Sparrows Point in the Baltimore harbor. Also discussed is the famous Mercedes I shipwreck in the backyard of Palm Beach socialite Molly Wilmot in 1984, which Donjon Marine successfully salvaged, as they are now doing today with their Chesapeake 1000-ton crane barge, lifting up sections of the Key bridge that are 350 to 450 tons.

    They barge the collapsed bridge debris to the new 10-acre laydown yard used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to process wreckage from the Francis Scott Key Bridge site. An estimated 50,000 tons of concrete and steel collapsed; once removed, the wreckage is sorted and transported two miles away by barge to Sparrows Point. Debris and wreckage removal is ongoing in support of a top priority to safely and efficiently open the Fort McHenry channel.

      I think the force of the water rushing in over the top of the roadway, vortices and turbulence during the sinking and maybe a suction effect doomed the workers on the bridge. I have no idea where the found the bodies, but I think it would have been extremely difficult to exit the vehicle until the road stopped sinking, and then once you exited you'd likely get spun in so directions as the turbulence slowly subsided. If you got the wind knocked out of you be the impact then you'd have basically air to find your way from 40 feet below to the surface.

      One of the 2 survivors was in this truck. The Crash Truck was was at the lowest point out of all trucks. I read that it wasn’t in the water as deep as the other trucks. The driver was able to get out of this truck because it had manual windows. He was able to roll down his window to get out. It is a miracle that anyone survived this catastrophe.

      @@jeffreymagyar3990 That is a barrier vehicle, and would have been parked upstream of the worksite. It is used as a barrier for errant vehicles. The vehicle is bigger and has the crash cushion apparatus on the back, Barrier vehicles in a static closure like the one they had, are unmanned. They are there to get hit instead of people. The people dying is a damn shame. I have done that work on bridges. Bridges, flyovers. and transitions are scary to work on, because there is nowhere to run. scottjohnson4241 was correct, about no one being in the truck. That truck looked pretty new. It is a total now. May be able to cannibalize parts for another just like it. The attenuator on the back can be salvaged by the company for another truck. That is a damn shame about the truck. New equipment is hard to come by, because it usually is replaced every 15 to 30 years. I worked for the state of California on the road, and I was driving a 20 year old water truck, that had 40,000 miles on it, but had like 75,000 hours on it.

    You said there were corrugated sheet metal panels pulled up from the site of the bridge collapse - I was a highway engineer in bridge maintenance and those panels are probably the heavy duty type called stay in place forms: the panels are placed on top of the steel deck beams and the steel reinforcing bars and concrete are then placed and poured on top. They're more expensive than plywood falsework but they save in the equipment rental, labor and disposal costs of removing the plywood.

    I could see clearly now why those workers died. There were hundreds of tons of steel truss collapsing on top of the crew, making their escape very hard or impossible. It was a soft landing for anything made of steel, but not for people, adding to that the shock of getting immersed unexpectedly in cold sea water. Mad respect for those who perished doing their jobs until their last minute, hope their families get compensation for their material loss, as human loss can never be made up for

    I have been watching for reporting to confirm that this video of the work truck is authentic since you posted it. I live in Baltimore and, believe me, this would have been of great interest locally and on the comprehensive local coverage of the bridge collapse if it were real. I am not a conspiracy person. In fact that is why I look for multiple sources when I see something that I question. I don't think it's a good idea to post pictures until you can say for sure where they came from.

    If you want a good example of cars riding down a falling bridge with little or no damage, check out the i35w collapse. Many cars were intact on the concrete above the water. I think the area of the concrete acts to prevent high velocity in the fall, as well as provided a cushioning effect upon hitting the water.

    The truck that was recovered was the last one in the convoy of vehicles because of the bumper contraption at the rear of it.
    The corrugated material was the stuff the roadway was laid on. It is much thicker than regular corrugated sheet for roofing, etc.

  • @ronhannink1968

    Jeff, if you look closely enough. The very last vehicle to enter the water looks like it may have launched a little. That would make a lot of sense, considering the magnitude and force of the bridge hitting the water on one end, and the other end snaps loose, creating like a catapult. Just a thought Ron

    Jeff,
    Not being a civil engineer I am not familiar with how the road deck is attached to the superstructure. I find it interesting how the road deck is so cleanly separated from the superstructure. It's also curious as to how little damage has been done to the superstructure.

    Presuming this bridge had them as well, has any video been released of the moments after the impact?

    And the truck went in backwards with a large crash attenuator attached to the back end, designed to prevent damage to the truck and passengers in the event of a collision from traffic. I've been doing crash reconstruction for 36 years.

  • @larrypatty8333
    @larrypatty8333 28 дней назад +2

    There's probably more damage to the truck than you can see from that angle of the video. It took a 200 foot drop to the water. That's why most of the dead will be found to have died from trauma, not drowning. The trusses are the easy part, they're sticking out of the water. The road deck is now embedded in the bottom of the river.

    Fascinating how many moving parts there are in dismantling the bridge. How do they know where to cut the beams so the remaining parts don’t topple over like dominoes? I’m amazed at how quickly they are getting it done. The department store heiress is so chic and mod! Love the Kennedy connection.

    Some commenters to this video seem to be saying that Chessie raised that truck. Fact: The first thing that Chessie did on this site was to lift a section of the truss. Also the second, and as of today the third. Chessie was NOT used to lift this truck, or any other truck, from the water.
