Thanks for sharing this with those of who had errands today...nice to see the CG on the ball...it didn't take them long to intercept!!!
Well said! Observe the Safety Zone!
"Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest."
This isn't the Reflecting Pool Forrest.
I saw that live, and I was impressed that they didn't take him aboard and tow his kayak. It appeared to be a very professional encounter.
Cudos to the coast guard!
I thought the same but came to realize "why go through all that work and hassle? Just follow him to shore and nab him then."
He obviosly didn't mind the exercise anyway.
That is what I thought they would do. Probably didn't want to deal with the nuisance.
More proof, you can't fix stupid.
I'll bet it was a one way conversation, the USCG talking and the kayaker listening.
Doubtful. People who do blatant, arrogant and entitled things like this are never quiet.
They must've woken up this morning looked in the mirror and and asked, what can I do to commit pure idiocy? If anyone wanted to know if USCG was paying attention even if you don't see them.
This was hilarious to see LIVE today! THANK YOU ANDY
I was wondering when the lunatics would start showing up at the site.
I cooked a steak yesterday and when throwing away the absorbent pad they put under the meat in the Styrofoam tray the meat comes in, I noticed that the words "Do not eat" were printed on it. I guess you just always have to assume that someone somewhere hasn't got a lick of sense.
Hilarious because u would think nobody would eat it but as it stands u might get a meatball who will try to suck the blood out of it...GROSS
Just when you think nobody could be that stupid.
Unbelievable.
A second thought Andy, just a thought, maybe one our local news outlets would be interested in this.
By all means send it
That was a real hoot and yes I'd love to know what his thinking was.
A few rafters missin, yep!!
👍🤪
(This one goes into the "saves" playlist)
I'm a local. I have a playlist of his videos to keep in my book of history that I write from Baltimore. Since I have spent my life here studying everything that I am not supposed to know I changed the title to "This Life is NO Accident."

One of my fave quotes is from *BLAME IT ON RIO* (1984). It is when a man isn't thinking what he is doing . . . you can be sure he is doing what he is thinking.
CG: - Can we help you?
Kayaker: - No, thanks, i'm just browsing.
CG: - Ok, bye!
Good job Coast Guard 👏
I'm sure the name on that kayak is "Entitled"
“ sneaking along next to shore “ is what I would have tried…when I was young and dumb.
Amazed they didn't arrest the kayaker and haul the kayak on board. I guess the patrol boat wasn't big enough.
I thought the same but came to realize "why go through all that work and hassle? Just follow him to shore and nab him then."
He obviosly didn't mind the exercise anyway.
I do Big DOT type construction on the water and this always happens. No matter what barrier you put up or how obvious that it is that you’re doing construction there people will always feel it’s OK for them to do whatever they want
As a local, I have questioned about private boat owners and wondered if they were allowed to leave where they are tied up IN the harbor to go out to sail. There are a lot of private piers and docks on that side of the bridge.
The Coast Guard has opened up windows of opportunities for recreational boats to come and go in the past week or so. If I remember correctly, it was a one hour window on one day, not sure about others. Quote from AI: Recreational boats can use the Sollers Point Alternate Channel to depart the harbor from 6:30 a.m. to 7:15 a.m., and to enter the harbor from 7:15 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.2.
In the evening, outbound vessels are allowed to transit from 6:00 p.m. to 6:45 p.m., and inbound boats from 6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.2.
This arrangement marks the second opportunity for boaters since the bridge collapse three weeks prior2.
The temporary channel was first opened for a trial run, allowing a number of recreational vessels to relocate. (end of quote)
Sounds reasonable.
According to the Marine Safety Bulletin dated 11 May 2024 due to ongoing salvage operations Sunday's rec. vessel opening has been rescheduled for an earlier time. The Captain of the Port has established an transit plan for such vessels to transit the safety zone. Traffic will be one way at a time during one period: Sunday May 12th, OUTBOUND 10:00 am to 11:00 am, and INBOUND transits will be permitted from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. The Unified command or COTP may cancel these time periods an any time for safety reasons. Mariners must monitor VHF channel 16 and 81A while transiting the area. (no word if kayakers can get by with two tin cans and a waxed string, or if they should just wing it).
Just because you can… doesn’t mean you should…. - mom 😃
I was amazed when I saw it from start to finish on the live stream.
Whomever was the kayaker was probably saying "you're taking my rights away" what is wrong with people? Great coverage of the tugs, cranes and the coastguard. Coastguard was quick at turning kayaker around. 😊
It takes all kinds, don't it?
Man I swear the older I get, the less surprised I am at the stupidity of some people. Watching the stream live last night was fun.
Interesting. They turned him around and sent him off on his way. Must have had a really good "story".
The law can be funny for some and heart breaking for others.
Trespassers in my area have to be notified on the 1st offence. A police report is best, but a picture of their ID and text/note on the 1st offence is about all you can do legally. The 2nd trespassing offence can see an arrest, bond, court date and dismissed with court cost.
Smart move not keeping this "members only"
👍🤠
He should have received a huge fine and a night in jail for being an idiot. But, entitlement. 😡
So they let the trespasser leave with a stern talking to. Guess what, more and more AH's will start pushing the envelope. Then someone will be injured or killed and lawsuits will fly. Put the guy in jail pending court on monday. It's sickening how rules and laws are nothing to SOME people
It is funny but at the same time something could have happened to him/her and we don’t need any more casualties.
this is awesome!
A taco short of a combination plate.
Wow
Always has to be one.
He or she just cruising on by like its nothing im glad they didnt get hit by a barge or a tug
The kayaker should’ve been taken into custody, the kayak impounded and the idiot fined for being stupid
This was clearly a Sovereign kayaker. He was not paddling he was traveling. We'll assume PFD
Is this the KAYAK lady that you Alfred & Derek has lunch with?!? 🤣😂
Even if the bridge didn’t collapse, kind of unsafe thing in the middle of the channel
Who in their right mind would ever kayak through that area even BEFORE any of this occurred? Suicide because of the traffic!
He knew
Kayak enters Stage Right.
Your videos are great I would like to know what the stack is in the background I have saw this several times. Ravens fan but from Pennsylvania
Condenser stack at Brandon Shores power plant
If the water was warmer, maybe try snorkeling .
Your first trip to Maryland? You think this is interesting you should drive on some of the roads!
Too funny!
At least it was moving.
wow i have no words that are safe to say here
❤
Crazy Man ""Crazy "" for sure !!! 🤔🙄😵😵👍👍👍👍👍
Key Bridge
The kayaker's name is Warren. Warren Eejit.
People are dumb. I wouldnt even attempt to go anywhere near there.
😮
BZ, Coast Guard!
I bet he had a selfie stick. I think that's the Baltimore Police Marine Unit, not the coast guard.
Hard to tell from the distance, but you can bet the CG was notified!
Or a GoPro.
Are they going to demo the bridge this afternoon?
Delayed until tomorrow.
That took balls
I say it was a test run to see how close u can get before they catch u. What if the ship owner gets some crazy person to take explosive up to ship to get rid of evedince
Yikes!
The real question is …. How did he get that far without being challenged ???
Difficult to see I would say.
lol what do you think they told him!?😂😂
.. "you can't paddle here" 🤣
Yo! Bonehead! What the F do you think you're doing here! You've got two options!
1. The Graybar Hotel
2. Return from whence you came, now!
Choose wisely!
Why do you ASSUME that it was a HIM?
@@wildbikerbill6530 lmao that would be classic
@@polishchachafishing I'm betting my account is pretty close to the truth. The choices given were few, to the point, and stark.
I was out of town and just saw this. What a moron. I hope he’s gotten a ticket. Some people are so nosy they don’t care if they are putting their lives in danger.
Could kayaker have done this prior to the bridge collapse?
I'm unsure whether to blame this incident on boater entitlement/arrogance or simple ignorance. In any case the Coast Guard reponded swiftly , and 'instructed' the kayak owner how to quickly exit the restricted area. Perhaps he was surveying the site with the intention of returning to get a close-up view of the blasting......... ?
The telephoto lens make the kayak look closer to the wreck than it actually might be.
Doesn't make the kayaker look any less stupid than they actually are already though...
He went well past the No Kayaks Allowed sign…. 😃
At least all 6 bodies have been recovered.
Could this guy be number 7?
Probably told him where to go and gave him a warning too.
Disrespectful. ....well, at least the "entitled" one scooted along out on his way again!
everyone out there figuring the worst, right? I mean, after 9/11 there was an old guy out crop dusting that got pinched for using his plane during the "no fly" time and being completely off-grid he had no idea he was treading on that temporary rule. They let him off with a warning.
One born every day...
Nothing less than a1,000 dollar fine 80 hours community work cleaning the shoreline right there.The money can go to the FUND the coast guard or other LEGITIMATE NON PROFIT CO for a small monument for those that lost their lives.You know the drill.BALTIMORE mayor are you listening?Just a thought.
What's the smokestack? It wasn't smoking the other day.
That is a coal fired power plant
It’s the Brandon Shores power plant in Curtis Bay. Google the name and you can see images of the power plant with the (standing) Key Bridge in the background.
@@taramriley5665. Good to hear they still burn coal. Winters here are still way too long and cold. Looking forward to that global warming!
@@tomrogers9467 from what I understand they will be closing that plant. The industry I work in provides electricity to work mine equipment (conveyors, etc) as long as mining is going on, I'll have a job
Is that a coal fired power plant?
Yes, Brandon Shores Generating Station:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Shores_Generating_Station
What would Jimmy McNulty have done about this?
Who is Jimmy NcNulty?
If he'd gone at night he would have slipped right by.
Possibly like a thief in the night as if nobody is watching
Was he even picked up on radar?
Lifting slings could have been a little lower on the thruss be carefully of not losing a crane good job guys
Not too bright.after talking to the CG, much faster paddling away.
I noticed that too
Kayak guy could have landed in jail. Put himself in danger. Coast Guard should have made example of him.
There always is one.
It may include some swearing also ??????
Silly kakyaker trying to push the limit he could have been arrested or caused himself some serious injuries or death
some people are not smart.
She'll be fine... Nothing to see here...
Isn’t Darwin supposed to handle these types of problems?
Hopefully no PFD
Yes, but Darwin's method takes a few generations.
Some self entitled Karen who thinks the rules don't apply to him.
No more STUPID than wanting to rebuild the bridge, instead of the smart thing and building a "TUNNEL" having a HUGE OPEN UNRESTRICTED Shipping channel and Open for future mega ships. You can't reason with Stupid .
Can't transport hazardous materials through a tunnel. Tunnel makes absolutely no sense where transportation of hazardous material is necessary.
Politicians don't like tunnels, "nothing to see here". Move along. They would rather spend far more of our tax money on monuments with their names on them.
At least the kayaker wasn't arrested. At least for the moment we are still an open society.
Hi is not the crane or slings hook on block wear and rear HOOK TIRED
Self entitled ID10T
He got one hell of a fine.
That's what he gets. Kayakers should be required to have a license or something. They are just people who can't afford a real boat. Those kayaks are dangerouse to other ships.
Three stupid opinions expressed in one short comment, well done.
Stupid human trick.
Kayaker was quite safe in his MAGA Hat
Omg every body freak out there's os an kayak on the water ...seriously you guys make it seem like allies landed who cares
Exactly!
Was that Joe Biden in the kayak? They have been looking for him. 🛶⛴️
