I Watched The Workers Who Are Out Of Work At A Food Pantry Today! I Pray That The Work Gets Done ASAP.They Need To. Return. Work. The Don't Stop Coming In.God Bless Them!!!
I really miss the squelch knob on these new radio's. I look forward to your videos everyday. Yours are by far the best. I knew those men were going to finish that 35 ft channel ahead of schedule and they did 6 days ahead. I hope they all got big bonuses because they deserved it. Please keep up these great videos. Thanks
Do they get unemployment for the short term.
Not only do they know what they are doing, but know what has to be done. Props to all of the crews working down there both on the river and at Sparrows Point! Theyve gotten a lot done in a month! Im local and never thought ships would be able to leave port this quickly
You've been providing a great service that the drive by media isn't. A lot of the commenters don't understand the large safety zone, and need to use big lenses to get these shots. After watching your Golden Ray coverage, I was hoping you would do this, and it's excellent.
Man, that was a humongous piece of bridge! Love the way both operators worked together.
Thank God we still have this capability, we need heavy industry.
Watching the Cashman Dredge gives us a true picture of the often very arduous job this is. He is grabbing completely mangled pieces of steel and asphalt. Nothing he is attempting to dislodge is uniform and attaches itself to anything it can. I have been watching the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The Gordie Howe Bridge gives us picture of what these men face. The girders and beams as they've attached each piece on that bridge. The size of each and precision work involved. These men and women are attempting to dislodge each piece of debris that they can't see. Thank you for the content you bring. I have a tendency to lose my patience, until I am reminded of just how difficult this job is. That is what your content does.
Cashman is bringing in the cash! Hard earned and well deserved! Owning, managing, and the expenses on this scale is no Sunday picnic. Thanks again Minorcan!
Boom!
Our condolences to the families of those that perished. RIP.
Definitely very tragic.
The big lift cranes get more glory, but this pair has moved barges full of debris, steadily.
The machines can't do anything without a skilled operator. These operators must be the best in the world!
I was impressed by use of the old, old techique of "drop a rock on it". Old ways are sometimes best ways.
Wow, that passing boat really puts everything into scale. And That boat is yacht size to boot.
Most of this video is Pyatt's operator rassling with a huge submerged beam, tearing it away from the pavement it's fastened to. He finally gets it mostly loose at 10:30, and brings it to the surface, but some pavement material is still hanging on. He keeps rassling to break it loose from the remaining material, and finally swings it to the barge. Great sequence showing how hard this is!
I saw that clamshell bucket sitting on the dock last Sunday it was near a smaller 4 wheeled dock crane you don't realize how big that bucket is I bet it could easily pick up 2 of those cranes at once I bet it was atleast 60 feet tall an amazing piece of equipment
Really enjoying your videos, especially this one where I get to lean on the railing and gawk at the work happening in all its majestic gradualness.
Thanks 👍
I saw a picture where two men were working under the bridge roadway before it collapsed. Could the two remaining men be under the roadway, and that is the reason they aren't found as of yet! Also thank you for giving us the public to be able see the operation of removing all the Debree.
Because there were two survivors, one of which walked away, I think they know pretty much where the men were on the bridge. I heard the one that walked away was in his truck which had hand crank windows. We all need those hammers than can shatter the glass, but escaping something like this depends a lot on luck.
Always very impressive to watch the operator maneuver those Large clam buckets!!!
Fine job Andy despite what Joe says. Thanks!
Thank you for showing some of the dredging work that is happening.
Any time!
God bless these guys. They are true professionals 😎
Excellent video, looks like things are cleaning up faster than expected there .
Tedious n time consuming work but where would we be without heavy equipment and the operators who know what they’re doing!! Good jobs everyone!!
Great footage.......love these two
Hey Capt. Andy, your recorded vids are much better quality than your live streams
I guess your location has a very cruddy cell connection
Conditions for the livestream yesterday weren't optimal. Hope you enjoyed today's video
@@MinorcanMullet You don't know how something will work until you try it.
American people working together. Like it should be.
Stuff like this Amazes me, this guy's know exactly what they are doing 👍👍👍
Fantastic job guys, so interesting ❤ from a Aussie.
Glad you enjoyed it
The drop ball would slow down on hitting water .would it not be better to have pointed ball weight to generate faster speed of ball in the water to hit the submerged road surface .
@alundurbridge3880 I don’t believe that to be a good alternative. The point of the weight is going to cause a problem. There would be too much deflection on contact. The larger contact area of the regular drop ball is actually a benefit. Also with a pointed weight, how many drops before the point is distorted?
Not sure to understand how exactly they are getting things done but seems highly professional and great to see. Thank
Excellent video Andy. Thank you.
Very welcome
It’s like watching an Ant eat an Elephant!
Well, if he ain't moving, he's Fair Game...
When does "The Claw!" from Texas debut?
The 1000ton Hydraulic Grabber was shipped in on a barge and they maybe waiting on rigging item's.
Hi there. yesterday the cashman lifted up a huge girder. caroline
This is the video of that
The Cashman clamshell is very difficult to operate. It takes extremely good, repetitive coordination. Modern equipment makes it easier but it is still not easy. You have 2 spools of wire to control. One opens and closes the clamshell. The other lowers and raises the clamshell. if you don't do it together, the clamshell closes while you are dropping it to dig. Or the clamshell opens while you are raising the clamshell and dumps whatever you just grabbed. There are 2 spools of wire that you should keep properly wound up tight. You do not want a birds nest of wire on a spool or crossed wires that can damage the wires and spool when lifting. You have a brake on each wire to control as well. And you have swing levers (likely now joysticks).
I am not being critical. I have great admiration for the operators. The operator of the Cashman clamshell is very good. But, when you grab something as big and awkward as the girder, it is like the dog that caught the car. "Ok, dog. Now that you caught the car, what are you going to do with it?? Hummm??" Dog, -- while holding it very tight in its teeth, "I'm going to let go very, very, VERY gently once I know where to put it."
@larrylawson5172 You make some excellent points. I’m wondering if the operator has the benefit of cameras in the cab to watch the winches. That feature is found on almost all the larger size mobile cranes. The big crawler and all terrain cranes pretty much all have that available.As you mentioned, the crane operator never wants that kind of problem. I’m sure that incorrect spooling of wire rope could be dangerous if not noticed quickly.
Dale Pyatt is a modern diesel electric crane built in 2013. It has joystick controls. Very probable that the hoist and closing drums can be synchronized electronically. Expect that it is very nice to run. Buckets are quoted at 30 and 60 yards, but with normal dredging, the big bucket is lightly built to handle sand and workable mud. The red bucket we are seeing is a heavily built "rock" bucket, and is probably 30 yards. Rock buckets are often used to grab and place breakwater stones, so this application is well within its capabilities.
The yellow crane running the drop ball is a Lima 2400. It looks small here, but is actually a large machine when you get next to one. The last one was built ~1973, but quite a few are still working, many as dredges. Large cranes like this and most of the Manitowocs on site tend to have long working lives, as it is more economical to repair them than to buy newer machines.
Fascinating, thank you
I was on the edge of my seat …
Thanks Captain Andy.
Audio from the Dali video from the other side of the river...well done.
good info and video, thanks
You have incredible access and footage. Please think about editing things down, either telescoping or by subject.
Great video!!!❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Can the drone view the salvaged materials on the barge here or at the recycling yard ?
The girders under the roadway probably remain intact ?
True workhorse of the endevor. We've seen them fill up barge after barge of this stuff.
Well, Captain there has been some discussion on the YTs comment section.
And we were wondering about an estimate on the lifting capacity of Cashman's Dale Pyatt.
It isn't listed on the specification sheet, but it seems like a stout little crane.
any opinion/insight?
thanks for the video!
@jamesalles139 I’m pretty sure that someone mentioned that the capacity is 350 tons for the Dale Pyatt. That was mentioned 1 or 2 days ago.
Amazing that they can even see what they are pulling up. More daunting of a task than the Pearl Harbor salvage operation.
I don't think they can see a thing. I call it the "grab and fracture" method.
How about a slow pan of the cranes and other rigs and tugs on the site with info on where their home port is, the capacity of the cranes, hp of tugs (the triple stack aqua house tug is indeed triple screw 6,000 hp, saw it last week)
We keep hearing about the 1,000 ton, which is interesting, but how about details like what the other rigs are doing, the cubic yards of the clamshell bucket the Cashman dredge is swinging, the capacity of it’s huge short boom - wide for lots of lateral load, the weight of the headache ball they are breaking up the roadway with, the truck tire above it is a shock absorber for lifting the ball. I like equipment details. Thanks, enjoy your feed.

If they had some kind of huge cutters working parallel with the water surface maybe that would help. Looks like a big chunk of roadway was lifted out
Have all the maintenance/construction vheicles been located or removed yet? If they have and the missing 2 were not in them, then they are going to be a lot tougher to locate. If there was a strong current that night, they may have washed a long distance away from the debris.
Slow week........after the big lift, these two boys were about the only guys working and getting anything done.......I await a comment from Sam
That scoop is nearly the size of the little boats that keep going past! Is that the giant claws we saw last week, or one size smaller.
It's the Cashman dedge Dale Pyatt. The clam shell bucket has a 60 yard capacity.
@@MinorcanMullet Pretty sure that's the 30 yard bucket, very heavily built to cut through hard material and pick up objects. The 60 yard would be a lightly built "environmental" bucket for handling sand and contaminated material. We are on the Great Lakes, and get close (a few feet) to channel dredging every year.
Any word on when they're going to start using that other big grab they barged in?
great
Wow
Wish you were closer.
In cartoons, crane operators swing the giant iron headache ball all around. But it is mostly dropped straight down.
It is too uncertain to swing it around. One bad miss could topple a crane.
Wonder how deep the water is where they’re working??
It doesn't look like it is that far below the water. I am guessing it must be a good size debris pile
How does the crane with wrecking ball keep from spooning the reel
Brake
Skill. Running "friction" cable is a highly skilled job, such that most guys would rather run hydraulic.
Do you know how deep the water is where they are dropping the ball?
They are working in that channel area so the depth should be about 50'. The debris pile makes it shallower.
I can't see where the dredge has brought up anything and put it on a bardge. Seems like it keeps dropping in back down.
when are Thay going to get the bridge off the ship??
Low priority vs getting the narrow channel cleared to 50 ft depth.
any reason as 2 y the job is about 2 miles away can we not get closer,or is some jobs worth getting in the way
I can see some idiot want to get to close and adding to the death toll of this accident. Never underestimate the ability of humans to do dumb things in the name of curosity. We are much worse than cats in that regard.
Minorcan Mullet has negotiated with a local waterside landowner for a spot from which to operate his video and drone. I'd say he's done the best he could and was lucky to get the spot he has.
QQQ did they find all the bodies of the workes??
As of 26th 2 still missing.
Can you enable time stamps on your camera?
Why not leave your camera on all day so we can tune in whenever we want to see what’s going on
My camera equipment doesn't work like that
When are we gonna see that "Giant Claw" they showed us ??? In action actually doing something
thats the one. caroline
😊😊
Why are they not using Lidar technology to see the bottom of the channel?
Detailed sonar images have been published.
why is no closeups of the work? My camera can take pictures of the moon craters.
😵💫
We're lucky to have these crews but every major US harbor should have a Navy construction unit equipped and ready to clear blockage. Remember this proves it only takes ONE blockship to shut down this harbor and the next one could arrive tomorrow with an IED inside a container on the bottom of a stack. Blockships are an idea thousands of years old because they work, and our enemies do take notice. So do enemies of our allies whose harbors are also vulnerable. Truck bombs and drones are a drop in the bucket compared to the economic damage coordinated block ships can cause and the US is not ready.
Private contractors are better, since they do this all the time, and are scattered everywhere so that machines can get on site quickly. A Navy unit would be sitting around training most of the time, rather than getting OJT.
Day 34 still no answers to reasonable questions on why/who is responsible for this catastrophic yet very preventable incident if all federal laws, mandatory safety regulations and protocall were followed. Who was responsible for greenlighting the Dali as seaworthy when it's electrical problems were not resolved while docked? Ok'd for a 27 day voyage to SriLanka halfway around the globe yet couldn't make it out of Baltimore?
6 innocent lives lost and yet we don't have any factual and honest answers. Why?
Why the hatchman keep scooping and dumping in the same place instead of loading the debris on the barge ? Not questioning just that I am intrigued 😮
Breaking the mess up. Bridge pavement would be full of rebar, and fastened to the beams, very hard to pick apart.
why not use the navy trained dolphins to locate the last 2 workers
Government will ahve the shipping channel open in 5 months, real men will have it open in a Week....!
This is real men, and they are making fantastic progress considering the massive weight of the bridge.
Yes they cuss, just missed it. Fawk!
This strikes me as odd. Clear is the wrecking ball, dropping to the splash of the surface, presumably rendering big bits to smaller, flatter bits undersurface. Not at all clear what the dredge is doing. Appears as if detritus is being picked up, and then just dropped again. Can’t tell from this view at least, there is any intelligent plan to what is being done with the claw.
Picking it apart. Tangled mess.
@@SteamCrane Thank you. 🙂
Hard to believe the environmentalist haven’t stuck their noses into this project lol
They’re just shuffling th debris to the side? Money ,money, MoneyBaltimore screwed right in front of you. Dockworker I guess you can pick up a camera and film as well😮😮
I didn’t see any thing brought up ! Did see the other crane drop a dummy chunk repeatedly into the water , yaw paying for this chit ? L.o.l.
Ya gotta watch more than 2 minutes
Sorry but your video didn't show much
😳
It shows a lot to people who know what they're looking at.
look like they not sure what they are doing
bore................Bore....................BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAN, COME ON BUDDY! YOU SHOULD HAVE LET THIS FINISH THE LIFT AND DUMP OR STACK ? YOU SHOULD HAVE LET IT FINISH BUDDY! THANKS ANYWAY, YOU HAVE A GREAT CHANNEL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! BUT SOMETIMES THATS ALL IT IS, TIME!
JUST LOOK HOW OFFSET THE WIEGHT IS ON THIS HUGE PIECE OF METAL AND CONCRETE, YET IT DOES NOT EVEN MATTER WITH THIS BEAST! UNBELIEVABLE! ITS NOT EVEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE! NORMALLY IT WOULD TAKE A CLAW OR CRAIN GRABBING EACH SIDE, BUT NOT WITH THIS MONSTER! IF YOU DIDNT REALIZE IT YOU DO NOW!
Vital care must be taken to avoid contact with gas lines using the wrecking ball and the clam dredge. Always caution for the vehicles with victims anywhere near the debris to be removed. 🇺🇸⚓️
The Title should say the name of the bridge . it is not the Baltimore Bridge
If you get the opportunity, and I'm sure you'll make the effort, I'd like to see how that giant grabber gets hooked up to chessie and how it works. I'm surprised it is going to be hooked up to the chessie 1000 since it is a "stiff leg boom" barge and not a pivoting crane setup.⛓🔩⚒
Expect each lift will be very slow.
