Those poor families. My Condolences and Prayers are with them and all the workers clearing the mess
100% Bidens fault
the ship is very large thats why it stuck
@@richardjohnson8009 jI’m po
some brave certified construction divers will be working day and night....May all go smooth and RIP to the lost souls
Thank you for a straightforward report without premature fault finding.
Negligence‼️
It’s quite obvious that Singapore launched this attack because we are banning tik tok. They need to be questioned at the UN and shown some freedom
@Whatnok 😂🙄🤡 The ship lost power. You literally don't have a clue.
China behind this to slow import/exports
Viewers should know that Marine Heavy-lift Cranes are those which can lift 1,500 tons or more. This crane that is now on scene and being touted as such a capable tool for the job ahead of this salvage operation is simply a medium-lift crane and of course the largest available (not under contract or performing other work) on the East Coast. The "heavy lifters" can handle loads in excess of 14,000 tons but are also so large that they may not be able to clear the channel bottom at only 40 to 50 feet deep.
I would imagine in a channel that's only 50ft deep, they can't bring in massive marine cranes normally used for oil rigs, etc.
One word-Mammoet
Floating people in that have never done this kind of project before is going to get people hurt.
The water is 2 shallow for those massive cranes that can lift things like sunk wrecks.
Thats why I stated they need expert Navy divers to do underwater splodey things -- BUT YT pearl clutched and deleted common terms to describe these activities, b/c they're punks.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Baltimore and the families of those still missing.

The ones still missing are stuck in cars under the steel of the bridge Overtop it
My job is linked to port activity. In fact, every single job in Trade Point Atlantic is linked to the Port's Activity! Container Port is one of our main carriers that bring us shipments from the Port! I suppose I will be seeing far less of their driver's in the coming weeks dropping trailers until the Port is re opened. I have been down in Myrtle Beach on vacation while this occurred. I drove back and fourth over the bridge quite often, and my wife commuted over it for work for over 15 years! Condolences to the families of those workers :(
Well, they're getting stuck-in so downtime for any port-related workers should be minimal. 👌
Granted the event seems suspicious We do live during interesting times
Take the opportunity to maintenance the heck out of the port facilities and infrastructure. Just because there are no ships to load and unload does not mean there is not a myriad of work to do at the port.
Zackly.
😢😢 so sorry for the family that have lost they love ones who were working on the bridge
The force that hit that bridge was strong, I live in Dundalk about 8 minutes from this bridge driving, and I felt like this was a big storm or tornato the windows of the house felt like shutters like they were going to break for the force of the wind and some of my neighbors felt like an earthquake magnitud four, the houses shaked.. I imagine the harbor tunnel at 95 probably has been demage but nobody talk about it. This was like an earthquake magnitud around our neighborhood also 895 tunnel structure probably has beeen demage by the force of the impact. I hope transport Administration can inspect this tunnels.
If this port was so important and vital to the infrastructure why wasn't there protection around the bridge in the water
There's a 700 foot wide channel and it's stood for more than fifty years. Most bridges don't have concrete islands in front of the piers. New ones probably all will, but that's thousands of bridges that would have to be upgraded.
Because 150000 ton cargo ships did not exist when the bridge was built 50 years ago
@@GWNorth-db8vn The bridges where I live are older than this bridge. In the 70s, they got reports about this type of thing happening. The city built extra concrete support around the pillars. Because that wasn't enough, they built rock islands around the concrete. The city went a step further and made it so no boat of substantial size, is allowed to go through our harbour without tugboat assistance. Especially, while it is mandatory for the local pilot to have control of the vessel.
I live in a city that has 400,000 inhabitants compared to Baltimores 500, 000. I live in a country that has lower tax brackets than America, with 1/8 of the amount of people paying taxes. Yet we can afford to make our bridges stronger, and implement safe use of tugboats while the local pilot is in control. Plus, we have universal healthcare. So, it's not because the un-United States can't afford it. It is just the fact government doesn't care if its people die, due to their lax infrastructure.
Look at the powerlines in this video. They have more protection than the bridge had. That is pathetic. Those powerlines are worth more to the government than a bridge, with people on it. Seems a little backwards to me.
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 Because in the last 10 to 15 years they could have absolutely put rocks or concrete dolphins in the water around the base
Because they are cheap. In Amerika safety comes last. Did Boeing build that bridge?
We need an extra port built on each coast. US infrastructure is sadly underfunded and not keeping up.
I don't think the Port of Baltimore has had any real attention in decades. Did you ever see the show "The Wire"? There was a whole season of that show about the Port of Baltimore and the whole premise was that the port was so underfunded that the Stevedores union there had to resort to corrupt dealings with an international drug cartel in order to be able to lobby politicians(who were also very corrupt, it being Baltimore and all...) to get the harbor dredged so they could get more ships into the port so they could have better job security and hire more people. In the end they got busted and the harbor never got dredged.
I don't know if any of that happened in REAL life but I bet the harbor still hasn't been dredged.
Elon, Bill,Soros and all billionaires are coming to the rescue...lol just kidding they are getting greedier
Biden's massive infrastructure spending bill was going to fix all that. What happened to our tax money?
Yeah Joe sent your money for your infrastructure to Ukrook I mean Ukrane!
@@benjaminfishbeyn1996Which county? Hazard county?
My condolences and prayers to the bridges family. That poor bridge didn’t have to end like this.
Especially Lloyd, Beau and Jeff.
@@geniferteal4178 Nice 😊
It didn't have
I'm amazed the largest crane on the eastern seaboard is 1,000t. The largest floating crane in the Netherlands (a country the same size as Virginia) is FOURTEEN THOUSAND TONNES!!!
I am not sure that crane would fit. This site is only 50 feet deep. This isn't a deep ocean salvage operation
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 I don't think he was suggesting that it could be use, he was jyst comparing size.
@@orwellboy1958They definitely were suggesting that American cranes are inadequate for the job, and they should have larger ones doing this. No need for you to make up reasons or excuses for their statement.
In an emergency you take what's available...
I am sure they have larger but they are in use.
My heart goes out to all involved 💔
The main issue would be to ensure that the weight of what is being moved doesn't topple the crane, especially when it is windy. Safety is the main factor. All angles need to be considered to ensure a safe work environment if there is a 24 hour work schedule. 😊
That's the largest crane barge on the east coast? It's sad that those reporting don't know better.
Largest AVAILABLE from what I understand.
@@joewoodchuck3824 I know, cnn reported that the first one was the largest in the world, i laughed at that.
@@captbad9313Right!?! From the largest in the world, to the largest on the eastcoast. 🤦♂️ Then even in this story, if went from the largest on the eastcoast, to the largest floating crane on the eastcoast. That's still wrong.
When in actual fact, it is just the largest close by crane. There are floating cranes, with larger capacity for lifting, working on the windmills offshore from Martha's Vineyard. It can lift 1,600 tons.
Oh, and it only has a draft of 19 ft, for all those about to say it wouldn't be able to go in 50 ft of water.
You know the owner of that crane got a major 🦴er when he heard the bridge fell down.
The crane is owned by the US Navy.
Cutting steel under stress is very dangerous,go safely people,god bless all involved from Australia...
Cars, coal, and sugar? That's quite the combo!
And containers.
An extremely explosive combination - Dont worry - Im sure they have adequate dust suppression just like they had adequate ship deflectors and tug escort for the bridge - oh wait...
Don't threaten me with a good time
Our prayers are with all the families ... How horrific!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.......
The crane has to be in an exact position to be able to pick up the entire 1,000 lb! I had an opportunity to work on the largest crane in the world, capable of 1,200 lb! You're lucky it's already set up! It took us two months to assemble that big one! Good luck guys!!
1,200 pounds is puny.
Do you mean 12,000 tons? Even so, that would not be the largest crane. I believe the largest is capable of 22,000 tons.
The largest Marine Crane is the "Sleipnir" which completed a record lift of 15,300 t (15,100 long tons; 16,900 short tons) for the topsides of the Leviathan project for Noble Energy, in September 2019.
1,200lb?
I hope the work you were doing was no more than making coffee for the people that knew what they were doing.
My lawnmower weighs more than that
Very tragic 😢.. my heart goes out to the victims families .. RIP
that crane is tiny. It's a start, but they need much bigger crane barges than that.
The water is only 50 feet deep at the site. Much larger cranes may not be able to operate there. This isn't a deep ocean salvage operation
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 Asia is full of massive crane barges that are designed to work in shallow water. Are there any in the Gulf of Mexico like that?
@@noelwhittle7922 how many of those large barges have cranes that can lift thousands of tons? And how many weeks would it take to move one to the port in Baltimore?
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 this job is going to take months.
So tragic all around.
Bet you the started the route as soon as they saw the news.
for the ships waiting to enter, seems a much more logical step to have them re routed to Elizabeth and Miami
That is not the biggest crane , biggest floating crane is parked under Bayonne bridge here in NJ , it’s the one that has 2 arms masts , and was used to place entire section of the road while construction of Tapanzee , Goethals and Bayonne bridges ,
Idk gotta believe this is cheaper closer, and for the most part
I see one of these crane going in the water
It is called the “I Lift NY Super Crane”. It’s max load equals 12 Statue of Liberty or 5.4 million pounds.
@@benjaminfishbeyn1996 max lift capacity posted is 1929 tons, so yeah easy 2000 tons
It's also known as the Left Coast lifter. I passed by it a few times when it was working on the Tappan Zee Bridge. I know the two Operators that were running it. Great guys.
Thank God hope they clear this up soon so we can have bridge rebuilt as quick as possible
Feel so sorry for the workers and there family’s
Prayers for you and your family’s.
If that’s the largest crane you can find, you have a problem ~
I doubt there is 3 to 4 thousand tons resting on the bow of that ship.
Might be the full weight of the entire mangled piece draped across the bow.
May god be with the familiar of these construction workers who lost their lives
God.
God bless the family's ❤💯🙏🙏🙏💯
Perfect example of Here you have legal residents all spanish hardworking men Doing their their jobs .
Uh...Interesting comment except that most were not legal. Plus...what is the point you are making?
What makes you say they are in the USA legally? They can get a drivers license in MD zero problem. If this was a private contractor they hire “undocumented” people all the time.
Doesn't matter one bit anyway. @@jonathantaylor6926
So hard working they were sitting in the truck.
Cheap Labor
My condolences to the Families..😢
Falcon 9 rocket? How random.
Yeah. I don’t even know what it’s for.
It had the same impact force as almost 50 million chickens running full speed.
Dude I thought the same.... How can the average viewer understand that comparison? Hahahaha
@@NotExpatJoe 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Those divers are risking there lives cutting up all that steel under such great tension. Those sections are 5 times the weight limit of that crane. Someone needs to invent a structural holding device so that after the beams are cut they can remotely disconnect it. It's either that or start using demolition charges. The Governor needs to tone down the dramatics and stop telling people to do it quickly or more people will die. He needs put the Commander of the Army Corp of Engineers in charge of press conferences.
He DID say “I want it done fast, I want it done RIGHT”.
And the Commander Corp of Engineers ALSO said they would prioritize safety…
So stop with your own dramatics…
@@ernestgalvan9037 The Governor is using the opportunity to make a show out of it now that he is finally on prime time.
Exactly
I would imagine that that crane will be used to install moorings for the larger cranes when they arrive. Then it will be used to service the main cranes, hold equipment etc whilst the main cranes hold the bridge parts.
The Cashman Company is a large operator of marine salvage cranes and everyone of theirs is "not available". I'm hoping one or two of the world's heavy lift cranes can get here and help as some of them can lift 10,000 tonnes. Godspeed to all involved. Stay safe.
The emotional stress and guilt the captain is going through must be intense with poor soles lost
He’s a radical Muslim he’s probably dancing right now
I do like the comparrison to the Falcon 9 Rocket, like a Rocket ship hitting the support tower, only with no Power.....lol.
With seven cranes, they'll have the channel back open in few weeks.
I'll be back in a few weeks to laugh at you, this is gonna be a huge slow effort to fix could take a year or more, millions of tons of steel to be moved/cut all while recalculating weight/load area after each cut/move, and a lot of work will take dive teams in very hard/dangerous conditions, then they got to rebuild a new bridge too(although ships may be able to move in/out while its being built)how do you come up with these W.A.G.s?
@@SpectreOfChar Incorrect RandomDudeOne is correct. They are saying a month. That will be cleared and open to ship traffic in 2 weeks.
It will take months to reopen the port of Baltimore.
Really? You used the Falcon 9 to draw comparison the amount of force it hit with? That isn't really a thing that most people can comprehend. Who edited this crap?
Made sense to me. You don’t have to be able to do the math to know it’s a CRAP TON of force.
Exactly what I thought.
I thought exactly the same thing 😂
hey they had two choices to try to explain the force of the collision: one rocket motor or a quadrillion rhiinos. they chose something people could relate to...
Figures it’s cbs they are just as bad as cnn
Those poor guys. Baltimore needs to step it up.
They can't. Too corrupt.
Those 6 construction workers. Their families should receive a lifetime pension from the state of Maryland for life. The governor and Mayor get one, so why not the families??????
Is that the one that rebuilt to tappan Z bridge?
*AS A EUROPEAN* its utterly inconceivable to me that the 15,300 port workers would not just continue to be paid port open or not...
The fact you have to put in wage protections is symptomatic of the reason this happened in the first place - PENNY PINCHING AND DEREGULATION
NO ship deflectors and NO tug escort past the bridge. Save every single penny cut every cost remove every regulation to MAXIMISE PROFIT
This country doesn’t care about anything outside of profit. You should see our stores, long lines because major companies want to hire 1 cash register while 4 other registers are unoccupied. At a time when a lot of people are struggling to find jobs.
@@Salute51_6 - LITERALLY since I wrote that comment my friend in the US, an IT manager for a very large company just told me - ALL 35 of her staff have just been fired. They are outsourcing the whole IT function...
They are paying themselves a lifetime pension. Save money anyway you can. It's all about the Pensions. $100K dollar a year teacher and cop pensions in Maryland. Broke state government
If that’s the largest crane we have then we’re in a world of trouble.
The largest cranes available at the time.... The ones that's not set up and working, and on a waiting list... The largest the Navy had available in that area.... The USA's biggest may not even float in 50 ft of water... ?
You need need crane on barges to be able to operate in shallow water like this. To bring in large sheerleg cranes that can lift 2000-3000 tons from Europe or Asia takes to long time
Titles are often misleading. Nowadays news, you can't just believe the title. 😅
Read please “Largest crane ON EASTERN SEABOARD’
NOT the ‘largest crane we have’
@@ernestgalvan9037 Glad they fixed the title.
included in bridge redisgns how about a REQUIREMENT that ALL shipping around major bridges requires tugs to escort to limit the risk ot out of control cargo vesesels
Safety first please
It can only pick 1000 tons at a time, this guy doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about.
God bless and be with you all. The bridge of tomorrow
Better call Mammoett Salvage. They DO have the correct cranes for this work.
@alanbeckham9093 Yes but Mammoet is a Dutch company and we are the best in everything so we cannot call them.
The point you are making is sadly true. We are falling behind in everything technical, we have destroyed our industry and engineering but we have gained in wokism.
@@pindapoy1596has it occurred to you that the site may be too shallow for such huge cranes? It only 50 feet deep at the site
Also the largest cranes may be busy elsewhere? And even if they were called it would take weeks to get those huge cranes to the bridge collapse site.
People who whine about wokeness often don't even think straight
How do you know what the correct cranes for this particular project is? Have you inspected the bridge or the site? Do you know how deep or shallow the site is? Have you consider that mammoet may not have assets nearby and it might take weeks for them to get there?
@@enadegheeghaghe6369the salvage is going to take a while. Do you think it is a better idea to get a good crane to make it go faster or is your pride too high to allow foreign help?
@@pindapoy1596 Do you think such cranes are sitting around, not being used?
The bigger heavy-lift cranes tend to be booked for months to years ahead of time.
Even if one was not being used, it takes time to prepare them and then cross oceans to the job site. Just getting one from Europe to the US would take a week of sailing.
How about the owner of the ship pay for lost wages
“This is going to be a long road.”
The second something happens like this, the state calls the government for help. So it's obvious to me that Maryland has no money in the bank for even a small disaster. Too much money being spent paying themselves a lifetime pensions for retirement
You can have it done quick and not safe or safe and slow you can't have fast and right
"Huge Problem": Pentagon's Rapid Wartime Response Cargo Ships Trapped In Baltimore After Bridge Collapse
Rimano al vostro Aggiornamento. Grazie.
So how many years will it take to build ? Also why doesn't the owners of boat pay for the damage ? They have insurance so do the owners of the bridge.
Ummm. Have you even tried to follow the story? Or, are you looking for quick blame and “solution “? Ugh. Humans are doomed. We suck.
Insurance takes time and the bridge is owned and operated by the state.
This bridge will be at least a 5 year project to replace.
Biden wants tax payers to pay for it, 10% for the big guy
Legal battle could take years, its better for federal govt to pay now and took the insurance claim later since they need the port working asap.
What a nightmare
The bridge lacked collision protection
Do you really think most other bridges are any better protected?
State governments cut costs to pay themselves a lifetime pension plan for retirement. It's all about the Pensions. Just follow the money
Give those workers a broom and clean up the port. How about a new paint job. Not sit arouind waiting for a handout. It shouldn't take longer then a week to get the channel cleardso shipping can start. Much longer to clear the Dali and rest of the bridge.. The Dali will need to go into some kind of repair yard and be off loaded .
Oh noooo the tunnel is now on fire too!
What! Really!
Prob one crane each for a tie off for people to rig and cut sections, while supporting the main area and the pieces being cut. Be lucky to get 6 cutouts a day. So sketchy with waves and weather.
You should give the salvage folks a call so that they will know what to do.
@@roberthenry9319More so the blow down folks much safer to use cutting charges
Prayers
monster crane coming for the rescue!
Of course they'll rush to get it all, but the priority should be a shipping lane for at least some of the traffic
The port of Baltimore is more important than the bridge
Things like this don't get done quickly.
The port of Baltimore will be down for months just getting the debris removed
the people waiting for the parcels on the container 💀
shame unreal good luck be safe
What has happened is saddening with the loss of life, and loss of income to some, but, in regards to having a stable port, a bigger port for shipping, would it not be more beneficial to look at a newer area away from the main bridge that services the city?, may those lost R.I.P
i wonder if they have called for the left coast lifter it can lift 1700 tons
Anyone notice how the power line supports were protected from ships but not the bridge supports
@bp30656 I noticed it but thought that the power line was built after the bridge and probably safety requirements were different at the time. Nevertheless congratulations to both of us.
Yes, because re-stringing a powerline costs $1 billion and takes 6 years (not).
@@pindapoy1596there was nothing to stop protective dolphins being added retrospectively to the bridge, at zero disruption to traffic.
@@pindapoy1596The bridge I live near is older than this one was. It has way more concrete around it than those powerlines. Also, around each hugh chunk of concrete is an island of massive car sized rocks. Plus, whenever a local pilot is needed to control the ship, tugboats must be used to help, just in case. I don't see any of that here. It's pathetic how people are defending how little was done to prevent this.
@@stephengrimmer35 You are totally correct. What remains to be clarified is why the work was not done. I have my own ideas about sending money to Ukraine rather than taking care of our own needs but that is another subject.
They need to do this imaging work in order to direct the cranes, etc to where to immerse equipment for the clean up...they can't just go stabbing around in dark water hoping to connect to debris...that wouldn't be efficient or safe.
I don’t know where the media gets their info. This is nowhere near the largest floating crane on the east coast. It’s simply a 300 ton crane on a barge. The large crane have yet to arrive. They will be the 1000 ton crane they say this is.
SSCV "Thiealf" (14.000t) or SSCV "Schleipnir" (20.000t) can both operate in shallow waters and is what it takes to do a job like this , - not the other toy cranes, - and both Panama regs..
Someone really need to calculate the amount of force at collision
Salvage job fits Heerema Sleipnir crane vessel with its 20000 metric tons lifting capacity.
It’s a semi submersible crane with a huge draft, it can’t operate in shallow water like this

Good luck!!
OMG, no cars, coal or sugar. How will the east coast survive?
How will the state of Maryland pay their pension funds for retired workers??? LOL
Never heard How many ships are still out in the water waiting to come in..?
Here's what happened. When the power went down the pilot lost steerage as it is a fly by wire system. He then called for full astern. That is the plume of black smoke from the funnel. That was a mistake. When the ship engaged full astern it began what we call a prop walk. The stern moves to port and the bow moves to starboard. There was too much way on the ship to stop before the bridge. It was doing 8kts prior to the power outage and 6kts when it hit. If the pilot had not engaged astern it would have continued on its course through the middle of the span.
They should be required to have tug boats both in and out of the port and the the Bay. Along with the failure of the state and city to properly protect the bridge from ships hitting it.
@@kevinwagner3416 I agree, through the bridge at least. There are buttresses there. If the side of the ship had hit it would have been fine. It was the overhang above the bulb that took out the pillar
Apparently it takes five minutes for the engine to stop at that speed, then it has to be cranked into the right position and started in reverse. They couldn't have put it into reverse that fast.
@@GWNorth-db8vn No. The ship was idling at 8kts. I know, I've done it. Lets see what the report says
@@rogerprout5574 - I haven't, of course. That's RUclips wisdom that makes more sense than a pilot throwing a ship in reverse and making his rudder ineffective. We'll all seen enough about Titanic to know better than that. Yup, we'll have to wait and see.

Is that really the biggest floating crane in the US???? 1000 ton lifting power It is small!
I know by head 4 cranes here in the Netherlands that are mutch bigger. The Sleipnir of the Heerema company has 20.000 ton lifting power. The Hermod and Balder have over 6000 tons, and the Rambiz 3600...
Shhhh......... America likes to think it's bigger and better than anyone else.
who is on site to co-ordinate this unfortunate collapse...Someone who knows how to control all the bosses has to be obedient to one who says you do this, etc...without egos getting the way..This is serious work, not for wannabe heroes..
They have a long road ahead to a new bridge. I hope it’s not built hastily.
Where are the emergency floating bridge to put in place, so the traffic keep go on.
They can use non Union scab immigrants for bridge construction just like they used for filling in potholes. LOL
It will be years before all the red tape is satisfied to even start reconstruction. That is IF the leftists even allow a new bridge to be built. They have stonewalled other bridges recently. The key to reopening the harbor is clearing the wreckage. Road traffic can just go around.
I wonder why they didn't use tugboats, in the biggest harbor of Europe Rotterdam they use them until ther are no obstacles.
They just need to go back to a ferry system. Ferry vehicles across the water.
There was once a ferry there

This is a scene straight from a movie I can’t believe this happened
My research shows that the real owner behind the company is British Virgin Island Shell Company.. Which owns Grace Ocean, who owns the ship
Two factors always takes presidence over all that is continually overlooked or ignored!!! Prevention is better than cure!!! Risk management!!! Informed decisions where every factor has been evaluated and measures of prevention!!! The vessel has been under maintenance hours before this incident!! Do not cut corners to save time and cost!!! No concrete/steel structure to protect the "Load Bearing" Supports!! I taught it stange that the bridge collapsed during the crash by viewing the video footage, but what is done is done!! Prevention is better than cure!!! You can repair/replaced the steel structures, repair the vessel, but you cannot undo the lives lost!! Prayers for comfort for the families and loved ones who have lost their own 🌹❤️
Hope the other cranes on the way are larger. For that job they are going to need a marine heavy lift crane not just one of the largest land-based cranes on a barge.
Do you have access to one somewhere in your garage that you can lend them?
@@roberthenry9319 unfortunately no ! But there are a couple almost as large as what has already showed up in Baltimore here in Nova Scotia, Canada. That's on the East Coast of North America.

They will scrap the whole entire bridge
