Excellent reporting. Not only is there significant bridge structure below the river surface there is also strong current to factor in. Very impressed with this news crew and editing staff. 👍👍👍
Don't forget the wind, the tide and the swell. This has to be a very dangerous undertaking.
@@siralleycat9141all of which took control of the ship once it lost power, and rammed it into the bridge despite anchors having been dropped to try and hold it in position.
That is such a dangerous job to clear all that! Just stay safe!
Yes it is very dangerous. Their will likely be more deaths to come during this salvage.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing on RUclips.
Those divers are amazing.
I am hoping for the BEST! To the crews.....please be safe!
Hats off the first responders when it took place as me and my co worker who was behind me were in that Bridge at 1:10 am passing the crew that was on the bridge we load at Holcim which is right behind the Key Bridge. Such a tragic event.
Those containers weigh over 4 tons a piece empty. If they're loaded they can be 30 tons.
@@Torq-wy2cr Because they have to be cautious. Very difficult to pull multiple containers at once. You don't see them doing it even at the docks. Pulling too much weight at once from the bow could upset the ship's balance, and create more problems.
@@Torq-wy2cr The weight being lifted from the ship affects its buoyancy, which could suddenly shift and cause a big heavy things to unpredictably dislodge/fall. They have to be meticulous and precise in exactly what they do, where they do it, and how they do it so that nobody has to lose their life or be injured. The same goes for sections of the bridge that they have to cut away with torches, which alter the weight and balance of the section being worked on.
Ignorance is bliss.
@@Torq-wy2cr Where are you people getting that weight from? A standard 40 foot steel can has a tare weight of over 8k pounds
@@sergeanttrucker Comedic.
@@bryanp.1327 Oh please, grow up. They would have to move 20 odd at a time to have even minimal impact.
it's not that easy, kudos to those brave hardworking people
Thank you for updating us (from the UK). Please keep these reports coming on a regular basis (weekly?).
Good job worker u guys are Amazing 🥰🙏🌹🙏
G day from Ontario. Boy o boy that is heavy looking stuff. Thanks for showing
👍😆 G'day and Hello from Baltimore.
Good report. Jessica Babb speaks so well. Her speech is clear with good intonation.
they have to be careful of removing to many containers because of the bridge still on the ship shifting.
Well done guys.
Excellent team work.
Nice job on the camera. The last video I saw (from a different TV station) was so shaky, I was getting seasick watching it.
Please stay safe all. It looks dangerous but the crew appears very professional and dedicated.
The weather sucks when trying to work outside. If weather modification was stopped it would be a huge help to every construction project on the planet. For people that are so educated some really bad choices are being made by a few that effects us all. If the atmosphere is pumped full of a mixture of metallic material to reflect the sun back to the ozone it would cause twice the damage to it possibly. If it reflects light and heat on top side back away from earth then it's not rocket science to realize it will reflect light and heat generated from earth will be reflected back to earth and not allowed to escape. I first noticed how the glare on certain nights was noticeably worse. Everything from road signs and head lights to even the sky is much brighter even on cloudy nights when the moon is blocked by clouds. If you live in heavily populated areas you may not notice as much. The newer street lights are so bright you can't see past them in those areas. I live outside of town and my closest neighbor is close to a 1/4 mile away and there's just a couple of house's so I can say first hand the light pollution we produce on earth makes this harder to notice. Other things that have been strange for the past few years is seeing lots of fog in the freezing temperatures, I can only remember it being foggy in warmer temperature's when humidity is up. Hearing thunder in the winter months. Try shining a bright spot light or laser pointer into the sky and you will notice millions of reflective particles in the atmosphere. We breath this in, it settles in our water supplies like rivers and lakes even your bottled water is sourced from the earth. Life needs water and clean water. Our vegetables have shown signs of heavy metals in them. Government study's will argue this but documents are released from years passed where most things denied are brought to light 30 years later. I don't have the answer just common sense and a voice to bring attention to it and hopefully someone with a solution will eventually notice. I'm no environmentalist but have daughters in young adulthood and I'm afraid of what the future holds for them if we don't stop these practices now. The amount of pollution from the planes alone out weighs all the cars they blame us for doing the damage with . Just pay attention. If you research use something besides Google. It's filtered to show you what they want you to see. Laugh and say tinfoil hat but if you pay attention you will want one for yourself.
Right on
A project? What a set up!
You guys are heaven sent🎉...a God send.
Jesus words spoken.
Go the extra mile, give to those who can't help themselves 😢.
A new roof and guttering for them, New chimney will keep them warm an dry.
Great job guys...
❤from New Zealand supporters 😊...
Asia would already have it CLEANED UP and Starting to Rebuild!
Hats off to our Coast Guard!
Both a cement column and road pavement resting on the bow. Amazing.
Is it not good that the bow is resting solidly on the bottom of the channel
considering all the challenges involved?
Sounds like the Gov. is trying to take some kind of credit for the salvage operation(s). Where was he when they should have been planning better to prevent a disaster like this? Allowing a FULLY LOADED 100,000 ton ship to go down that channel at 8.5kts is simply insane.
He's putting on a show for the next position he wants in government.
Goes to show how the system and infrastrcture has NOT kept up with more recent years' developments with ships getting much bigger and heavier
GEEZ, the ship's power failed and rammed the bridge!!!!!
@@pennynickels5216….abley assisted by wind, tide and surge. More to the point, what caused the ship to lose power? It had only just left the port on its way to Sri Lanka. Wouldn’t it have been a good idea to make sure everything worked before it made the middle of the ocean and failed.
Is the governor supposed to personally check ships departing port?
I’d guess travelling at 8.5kts is to counter the tide and surge?
How come no tug boats?
Ever consider reading the initial account that explains what happened? You might consider doing this rather than trying to sound like an expert.
Please cover this question: Why was such a huge heavy ship aimed at a bridge pier when it lost power??? I know tricky currents may have been a factor. Are there any required protocols in place to prevent this kind of major disaster??? IMhO: That ship should have been aimed between the bridges piers in its' own lane, and NOT at a bridge pier. Where any such protocols violated by that ship's Captain ??? 🤔
Short answer is Yes. Two Baltimore Harbor Pilots were on board they were in charge of guiding the ship out of the port. There are Dolphins in place on all four sides of the approach. What you don't see is the ship just missed the one Dolphin as it came up to the bridge. Only protocol not in place was the added cost of Harbor tugs that many other harbors use.
@@stunick1573well I still believe that tugs should have been assisting the ship beyond the bridge...but money seems to have been the issue as usual.
Let me give go at your question: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!!!!!
Losing power the ship most likely drifted of course. It was bever AIMED AT THE BRIDGE
Without power, large ships like that just become a huge sail.
Can't find Jennifer Homendy's NTSB Congressional Hearing this week
(2nd Week of April 2024) on The Francis Scott Bridge accident nowhere
You would think C-Span, Washington Journal, RUclips, Congressional Websites
would have this available for those interested in finding out about the Preliminary
Findings as they apply to the US Coast Guard, Bay Pilots, and maritime protocols.
Search Senate Commerce Committee. Select hearings. Select April 10. The Committee Chair also posted the full hearing on YT under a different name and one of the financial YT channels posted it. May want skip past any Senators grandstanding and the other nominee for a different commission.
Prelim findings expected 1st or 2nd week of May.
Another government conspiracy? My guess is that you find "suspiciousness around every corner? Get help.
I hope there aren’t people stashed in those containers. Or animals.
i think on the next phase they will have to bar the whole bridge section that fell of, then pump all the water out, should make it more safe and quick recover of the debris underneath.
I’ve never heard it mentioned but what is the concern that an accident or misstep could damage the Gali causing it to sink?
Please don't forget about the 3 souls still down there somewhere. I know I would feel better after the 3 bodies are recovered so their families can have some kind of peace. I hope they find the bodies before they open the main channel to ships.
An empty container weighs 2.25 tonnes
This governor has already won office. I am wondering if he knows it. Perhaps he would be far more effective in his role as a leader of the WHOLE STATE if he were to stop treating this collapse as an opportunity to start running for the next term and let his appointees and public servants focus on what is happening here so he can move on to the work of serving everyone. An effective leader delegates to those he has judged as competent. If there is no competent point person he can single out for the job of focusing on this project, What does that say about his ability to find and acquire the talent needed in any Administration? As a society, we refer to a Governors team as an administration: Perhaps someone on the team can inform him they are not a campaign committee.
What is Baltimore going to do about the traffic from The Preakness (horse race)? How is that going to affect the salvage cleanup of the Baltimore Bridge? The easiest thing to do would be to "flip" The Preakness and The Belmont Stakes.
Zero impact on the Preakness.
Pimlico racetrack northeast of Baltimore, Key bridge southeast.
Check both on a map.
bridge building 101: sufficiently protect bridge piers in the water from collission by ships....!
Containers weigh anywhere from as much as a small car to a full size pickup truck
these workers need that mail call sergeant to make them work faster, hurry up, we don't have all day now.
YES ! SPAGHETTI IS EXACTLY HOW I WOULD DESCRIBE IT !
It’s actually more like pappardelle, but I don’t think that has the same ring to it.
Like playing REALLY big Pick Up Sticks, with deadly consequences
It's a tough, dangerous job, and it will just take weeks, maybe months to clear away all that steel and concrete.
More haunting is the last driver across before it collapsed.
Show more details of the work itself, and less talk from politicians talking about it.
Containers are still on? Wtf
The work to remove and replace it will last for years. The concrete pilings that are still holding up the road are useless as well and will need to be rebuilt. Godspeed
And how do you know that?
@@tommak6516 my entire life career working in concrete and major construction
very diffucult work for diver's
Pretty sure they meant "steady progress" in the title.
Probably written by the same guy whose weekly report says his tasks are “in process”.
@@eddieafterburner They fixed the typo😁
1:00 what they are planning is to basically close down the port or ports in sparrows point and dundalk seeing that it would useless to have any in sparrows point or dundalk without the bridge. They may have plans to rebuild one close to glen burnie and annapolis. Because the Bridge that size will take about 20 or more yrs to build. So they are delaying the clean up hoping to get government funding for a new bridge and new ports.
Oh wow I thought they had already recovered all of the victims,this is even more sad.
The crew of the Dali being all-Indian is the least surprising thing ever
It seems a tunnel would be a better solution than a bridge in such an important shipping channel. I wonder if that is being considered. Kudos to the skill of the people working to clear the channel.
Still stuffing around with it, just lift the bridge off the bow of the MV so I can be moved back to port and repaired and have the containers unloaded.
Amazing a Fox report without innuendoes.
Find the boys first😢
I didnt see anything going on,,,The dali still has the same amount of containers on it
LISTEN to segment , they explain this.
watch the news. Yesterday I saw about a dozen containers already on a barge and it seems to take about 30 minutes to move each one. Like a game of Jenga, you don't want to knock the stack over.
Haven't you heard the US Government is paying, translation, take as long as you can, stretch the project out. More money that way.
@@stunick1573 Also way something negative. People are just so damn cruel these days.
Instead of paying by the hour, they should pay by the container. Probably speed it up.
"Just one empty container that's sitting on the vessel can have a weight of over one and half tons".
A full size shipping container weighs in at 4.2tons. Maybe he was only thinking of small containers?
I think there is lack of knowledge an confusion of equating kg with lbs. An empty 20' std weight is 2050 kg or 4500 lbs, a 40' weighs 3750 kg or 8250 lbs. For info, one metric ton, also called a long ton, is 2200 lbs.
I’ll be dead before the new bridge is open for traffic.
There had to have been more than 3 missing men and also if everyone was warned why werent the men driven off sooner
That night when the Daly ran away there were tugs available but unused. At about 1:40 am the tugs were dispatched- after the fact. That waterway is incumbered with obstacles, especially around the bridge . Dropping the ball. The cost will be staggering.
Escort tugboats were indeed called and engaged. Don't know why they disembarked before they got the Dali to open sea? Coincidentally the Dali lost all power moments after the tugs left her sides. I'm still awaiting a factual and honest answer as to who greenlighted the Dali as seaworthy enough for 27 day voyage to SriLanka halfway around the globe without resolving the electrical problems it was experiencing at dock?
In my opinion, they should unlock the ship and use it to transport their own containers. Is ready! Then do the cleaning.
You do know that’s not a option for them to do so they still have bodies and a truck down there witch could further damage the bodies or vehicle you would have to physically be there to see what I’ve seen and been through that morning.
Very poor editing. Just a split second of this and another split second of that. Plenty of face time on the reporter tho.
Love the hot pink tie.
Sure Baltimore harbour knows now. Common sense rule a mamoth cargo ship should have 4 large tugboats 2 on each side to prevent this from happening
What happend between Kai Jackson and WJZ?
Seeing him was the larger news item for me.
Great report. At least I didn't see the governor campaigning for the next term or heaven forbid, president.
There's nothing new. They are going to keep those bigger checks as long as possible.
Was an accident waiting to happen and it did happen !
Who's insurance company is going to pay for this, NOT THE FEDS!
The Feds will pay for it up front, just so they can get ship traffic moving again, so the nation's economy doesn't take more of a hit. Then the Feds will go after the insurance companies.
Goddamn there is so much work to be done.
Even if we have to pay for it.
There WILL be a nice one finish again.
AMERICAN ENGINEERING COMPLETED IT IN 5 YEARS IN 77'
i bet we can make a nicer looking, BETTER BUILT one
in less than 3.
Fight me on that, this is America goddamn it.
How does one "make steady process"? What is steady process? Is it editing your work?
They need to keep the governor in his office and not on TV.
Then you would complain why he's not on TV explaining things enough.
@@28704joe wrong, they could have someone other than a politician. Like the person that is telling others about the progress. Put the main guy on... When there's news. Not everyday or two. This will take a long time.
How else do you expect the governor to get cool swag with the state seal and his name emblazoned on it that he doesn't have to pay for?
The same guy or gal that briefed the governor can provide the same briefing to the media. Save the BS, give the facts. I can guarantee that in the event that a reporter asks an unscripted question, that the subject matter expert will be called to answer.
Moore can be paraded out to make notification when the last bodies are found.
This is the start of a run at becoming President one day.
@@johnnyallen843 probably true and that's why he needs to be gone. It's obvious to most people that he's using the tragedy for that purpose.
I think that the key thing to remember is that it's all going to take time.
Like the Governor for Maryland is saying is it's very dangerous and very complex the work that needs to be done.
Also need to keep an eye on the weather forecast because the rough stuff ain't much good in this kind of environment.
Best of luck to the guys who are out there day in, day out trying to unravel the huge mess.
I also realise that there's still 3 bodies to be found.
Hopefully sooner rather than later for the friends and family of those concerned.🤞🙏
Except the dangerous work is done with CRANES, it's not like a bunch of guys are rapelling down the side on ropes and harnesses hand lifting stuff off LOL!!!
I live here, the weather has bee. Awful, hindering much progress.
@@pennynickels5216 that's exactly the point I was trying to make, obviously progress hasn't really been what they had hoped for.
@@HobbyOrganist cranes and very strong winds don't really mix, think about trying to move the shipping containers with strong winds swaying them around especially somewhere open and exposed like that.
1:05 first step would be to unload the trailer containers using small vessesl to reload on another cargo ship nearby in front of the wreckage. Cargo ships are unloaded using cranes to lift the trailer containers in a few hours. They aren't even doing that which is really fishy. To the point that I think all this was planned or they want Biden to actually rebuild the bridge while the wreckage is being removed. Or they are trying to permanently close down the port dock and build a new one in lower sparrows point or near glen burnie.
The old "all of this was planned" syndrome🙂 I know several people who have got a bad dose of that too.
@@carelgoodheir692well now with the threat of Iran war over Isreal, they have been forced to quickly move the fallen bridge because they transport military equipment using the ports around there and its near washington. So if Iran were to launch anything at US, US use one of thes ports to get military weapons. But in sense, yes to avoid delaying getting a bill passed to get a new bridge they would of had to gone to various steps to even get an approval to tear down the bridge which would of been an unlikely no, so with them taking down the bridge making it look like an accident, they get instant approval and they even got biden to approval federal money for it.
@@carelgoodheir692 well if you realize it would of been impoosible to get a approval to build a new bridge even if they had evidence that the bridge was too old. With them taking the bridge down as if it were an accident, they get instant approval to build a new bridge. With biden stepping in, they are going to get a new bridge. Not that it really mattered since they were getting wealthy off the tolls.
Those massive steel girders, drooping over that north pillar, evidence another kind of energy, like the diredcted kind...
What progress is being made in finding the criminally negligent perp that caused the power failures? Last word from NTSB was that they may take TWO years to determine the cause. That is unacceptable. Why is the Captain not held as a material witness? Why all the media on the repair and so few on investigating the cause? What happened to investigative journalism?
probably the same reason they don't allow cameras in court room. They don't want to talk about the investigation details before they reach a conclusion.
Prlim report expected 1st or 2nd week of May.
The manager is busy Karen. You'll have to wait.
If you stopped talking and listened to the news you would know the answers to all your questions. The number answer is - IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!!!
Because the captain didnt manage or run the ships' systems
If this was Japan it would have been cleared a week ago and the bridge would be well on its way to being repaired
Now find out what the biggest crain on the east coast was actually built for back in the 70s

Why the hell is the governor making all of these comments. Doesn't he have enough issues to deal with in the state of Maryland. Talk about grandstanding. This is a task that you can delegate. He needs to go and sit down in a corner somewhere and what for updates from one of his aides.
So no word on why the ship turned into the bridge? Something smells about the reporting of this incident.
Oh, do keep up. The electrical systems on the boat are being investigated.
The ship didn’t deliberately turn into the bridge, if you watch radar tracking from that night. It was doing normal course corrections to stay centered in the ship channel, and lost power during one of these corrections.
The ship turned into the bridge because the propeller was a right handed propeller and when power was lost, there was no rudder. As the propeller was slowing down it was turning the ship to the right. The biggest factor was the wind was blowing south. I am a longshoreman at Baltimore. I have seen ships blown loose from their mooring by high winds. They are sailboats in high wind.
Why are you in the dark???😅😅
Why don't you comment on what the incompetent owners are doing and what is happening to the cargo? The engineering issues are common knowledge.
The ship owners were not piloting the ship, some idiot was
@@HobbyOrganist the ship owners are still responsible in many ways but maritime law insures the limits of their liability, which will end up as ZERO. This was a giant FUBAR, fools rushed in and the USA has more fools and are eunuchs . The demential ice cream man will print money for it and the mayor is using it as a photo opportunity The shippers using the Dali are also screwed.
@c123bthunderpig sounds about right 😑
Seconds to bring it down....months to fix????
Probability years. Destroying is always easier than constructing.
Why is the governor explaining anything? Is he qualified in Marine salvage?
In road crashes
👍
The Japanese would have that cleared and open by now. Get the finger out and work harder.
We need them to try something. Us longshoreman, truck drivers, state port workers, and all associated workers are dying. The empathy is over, and our employers are cutting costs. We’re losing our living, and it’s not really even started yet. Please just try something
Who attacked us?
1.5 tons em try 4 ton empty
Typically an empty 20 foot shipping container weighs between 3,970 - 4,850 lbs and an empty 40 foot shipping container weighs 8,340 - 9,260 lbs
So figure 2 tons for a 20 foot and 4-1/2 tons for a 40 foot
One and one half tons is only the weight of an average American car. 3000 Lb. Some weigh close to 2 tons. What is the big deal with lifting one container?
So if the Federal gooberment pays for a new bridge, it should be 100% free to cross!
Seems to me that the shipping company and/or thier insurance should cover these costs
KBDL TV Tommie Clark is gorgeous! :8)
Are there not magnets like they use in scrap yards that could be used to lift containers? Be faster and safer.
It's nice of everybody to pay for our bridge here in Maryland fjb and all that voted for him
2:26 ONE......AND....A......HALF....TONS .. so, a Camry 👍😎✊
Yes, on a 100,000 ton ship with chunks of a 4,000 ton bridge sitting on it, moving a few dozen containers isnt going to affect the balance, the ship is grounded on the river bottom as it is.
