Amazing crew of people making this happen....has to be extremely dangerous work....
I spent 27 years on the ocean. You speak a mariners vocabulary and give a lot of information. You also give excellent videos on all the important stuff. The news channels do a very poor job. I watch all of your videos.
Thank you for saying that!
FAKE NEWS reporters don't know their @ss from a hole in the ground.
America is a wonder. That we can clean up that disaster so quickly, with amazing cranes and world class equipment, amazing talented engineers, no one getting killed, think about it. The rest of the world can’t do anything like this. America is so great ❤️🕊️
Well said!
I look forward to more. The quality is great. Your commentary is extraordinary. No substitute to video of workhorses disentangling, dissecting and transporting the massive bridge pieces! Thanks also for explaining what we are seeing.
Thanks, will do!
NICE job Capt!!!!!
Glad to see you on the water!
PS - you got close enough to give us a good view of the wreck removal
Thanks for the great video on the Mullet!
Our pleasure!
I was always hoping we could get up closer and see the action. I enjoyed all of your coverage on the Golden Ray and looking forward to everything you can do here from the Mullet. Excellent video, Thanks Captain Andy.
Hello again Captain Andy. I enjoyed watching your coverage of the Golden Ray a few years ago. Glad to see you covering the Key bridge.
Thanks for the coverage.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for your coverage of this disaster.
Too bad nobody will tell us who greenlighted the Dali as seaworthy when it's electrical problems were not resolved at dock? I mean this ship was gi en the ok for a 27 day voyage halfway around the globe yet it couldn't get out of Baltimore without destroying it's bridge. This entire incident was 100 % preventable if all federally mandated laws, protocol and safety regulations were all followed. The Dali called for 2 escort tugboats while in channel but somehow they disembarked from the sides of the ship before the Dali reached open water. Why? Coincidentally the Dali lost main power, then backup power and finally emergency power as well failed. Whoever was in command dropped the anchor causing the ship to veer starboard
Mayday was alerted. Bridge (mostly) cleared. Collision. Bridge collapses. 6 men dead . 2 survivors.4 bodies recovered. 2 still missing. Answers please?

@@user-co7fb6qe5w The NTSB report will be *very* interesting!
Capt Andy thanks for highlighting the equiptment and folks involved in this complex salvage and recovery operation. Your the best at getting us up close with explanations for a land lubber like myself; stay safe and countinue your coverage Sir.
CapAn, you're doing an outstanding delivery of info. Images have been crisp. Especially when the weather cooperates. Look forward to your updates.
Much appreciated!
Glad to see you and the mullet on the job! Stay safe up there!
Thanks, will do!
Just so you know there are no rivets in the bridge. I watched them build it. It's all nut & bolts. Also notice that none of the joints failed just a testament to how well she was built. Those connections were stronger than the steel itself. Still good content, keep up the good work.
Once again the Minorcan Navy signals in more useful information about site! Thanks and carry on!
Thanks for the information. Shows the amazing skill of the bridge builders of the day.
That was a question I had. Seems rivets fell out of fashion, probably too hard to get consistent tension, and furnace/driver/bucker is tough work.
This is more like I want to see. I enjoy seeing how the bridge is taken part and pieces picked up from the floor of the river. It is interesting to watch the work being done and see how hard these people work.
Thank you, Captain Andy,
I love all your work. I especially enjoy hearing all of the sounds, water slapping, boat engines, etc.
Excellent video Capt Andy! So glad you're there!
Glad you said "east bank". None of that "right/left bank" like the yahoos covering the Ukraine conflict.
Thank you so much Mr Jones really appreciate your work
Thanks for much better audio 👍
Thanks for keeping everyone updated! The news doesn't cover much of this. Im guessing there is not enough drama or politics involved.
my grandfather worked at Bethlehem steel at sparrow point his entire life after getting out of the navy. he retired from sparrows point and they eventually shut down and cut everyone pension. all them guys that got laid off would be happy to see sparrows point back up in operation smelting down all this steel from the bridge, unfortunately most of the workers have since past away
Amazing to see the work of the divers who can find where and how to attach chains when the terrible visibility makes them almost blind. Can't imagine the stresses on these beams that can be released by the cutting torches! A seriously dangerous job! 😳
Thank you so very much Captain Andy; your videos are amazingly close to the disaster site, and they mesmerize us into a feeling that we are at the site watchi g physically all that you describe!!!!! God bless you.
Thank you for posting your videos. When they first announced they were bringing in huge cranes I was hoping I could at least get a glimpse of the ongoing work. You are providing more than I ever expected. Looking at this machinery I have to force myself to look at the windows of the tugboats, excavators and such and picture a man standing there just to get a grip on how huge all of this stuff is. It's really great to finally see our tax dollars working so hard. So thank you sir and please be very careful.
Thanks for the kind words and I appreciate it. I enjoy being able to share these videos with the Minorcan Navy!
Very nice reporting, thank you! 💥 💙💙💙
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done my brother awesome video as always Andy keep up the great work
Thanks 👍
Nice to see progress on the jobsite.Can you imagine the scrap value of all that steel
Scrap Steel is traditionally around $6.00 per ton. Plus the cost of remelting it & smelting into steel once more. That's Major Mongo Fuel and/or electricity costs.
So, virtually nothing.
The need is to remove the wreckage from the Channel.
This is one of the best views and commentaries I have seen and heard. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks!
Amazing machinery and processes there. Besides the tremendous cranes, even the barges capabilities to support all that weight is impressive. Nice work sir.
Keep up the good work! I watched the golden ray and enjoy your videos!
Thanks! Will do!
Thank You , you're work at informing viewers is 2ND TO NONE! 🙂
I appreciate that!
Superb work! Thanks so much
Glad you liked it!
It's amazing to see all the equipments coordinated movement. Love the close ups especially the tugs. Great video Captain Andy. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you for the update! It's very appreciated. ❤
You are so welcome!
Amazing thanks for letting us know what is happening down there. Praying for everyones safety
You bet
Fascinating…. thanks!
Our pleasure!
OMG!!! Glad to see you are on the scene
Thank you Andy
Thanks Captain Andy.
It makes me feel secure to see how difficult it is to take apart this old bridge. Sometimes we think bridges are not secure like watching this one fall.
This is getting very interesting, and your coverage is much better than anyone else's that I have seen.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information and explanations...
My pleasure
Great video!! ❤❤❤
Thank you!!
You don't get any idea of how big the pieces and the barges are, until you spot an actual person! Wow!
It is massive!
Ol Chessie has those aft ballast tanks to the brim!
Keep up the good work......Jay
The excavator with the grapple has 2 bucket cylinders. Unless that's a custom stick, that makes it a PC1250. 125 ton class machine. The shear carrier doesn't look much smaller. Atlantic Coast Dismantling does a lot of work off barges.
This is exactly what I wanted to find, thank you.
It would be really "kool" to see the "plan" that shows all the cuts and the resulting "picks" as someone has determined they will be attached. This one had "Pick 3" painted on that gusset plate. Greart video Captain !!! Thank you. Glad to see you are there in person with your boat. I'll offer the same salutation back to you under the circumstances. STAY SAFE !!!
Blessing from Louisiana
If this was the UK we would probably still be inspecting it so you have to admire the speed to get the port open again.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Really great video, audio and commentary. Good to see things moving along.
Much appreciated!
The rectangular elements are HSS (hollow structural section), the beams are WF (wide flange).
Thanks for piping in! When the Minorcan Navy can help out with the discussion, they always do!! Carry on!
@@MinorcanMullet Thank you, Captain, for sharing your knowledge of the marine environment.
Thanks for sharing. God Bless you and be careful.
Thank you too!
Great video
Wonderful video!!❤❤❤
You are so kind
@@MinorcanMullet your video makes me feel the size of the bridge!! Very impressive!
Great pictures
Lol, so good to hear that familiar voice 👍I followed you every step of the way down in Brunswick with the Golden Ray...took near 2 years to get rid of that mess !! I bout wore out that pier on St Simons Island 😛
This should be cleaned in maybe 6 months ?
Outstanding sir, you brought the Mullett up from Brunswick? How cool is that.
Can you give us an idea of the size of the STRUCTURAL MEMBERS used there please?
ie: breadth x depth, plus thickness. And maybe an idea of how long it takes to cut through a single member.
That might give people an idea of what a mammoth task the whole process is.
Great work from all involved.
One end of this section was broken off, the other were cut
Fantastic!!!!!
Many thanks!!
The bridge pieces were not riveted, they were welded then bolted together with high-strength bolts.
On of our Minorcan Navy personnel advised us of that earlier in the comments. That's what I really like about this comment section, we can get the information right!
I see the ship owners have claimed General Average which a maritime law that spreads the costs of recovery and salvage across all of the companies that are involved in the charter and ownership of the Dali
Hard to wrap my mind around that declaration, but I think the move was expected by all.
In essence, that is what insurance is; spreading the load and cost of risk.
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw a post today where someone stated the goal is to move part zero(atop the Dali) next. Apparently 40 more containers, and that piece on the Dali are the next focal points. Maybe that will help you score a scoop soon. Thank you for your time and information.
Part 0 isn’t the part that’s on the ship, it’s the part next to pier 18, north of the two major pieces that were removed a few days ago.
@@jasperkalen7571 I simply shared what was posted in a parties video. I have no clue where they got their info.
Amazing video❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Great video 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Unbelievable. Be safe
Man power must be amazing
Awesome!😊
Thanks, no apology needed for the fog. It is what it is !
How about removing and selling some of the bolts as a fundraiser for the families of the fallen workers who passed??
I’m sure people will be lining up to buy those
Thanks,,,,I worked on these jobs,,,,,,,❤ Like he said, you can't get the feel to its next to it and you cut lose ,,,,be safe boys IRON WORKER 👷 LOCAL 70 😇
What's really sad is that this was a well built bridge taken out by what will probably turn out to be someone negligence.
I wonder how they are dealing with the lead paint on the steel? Bridge was built in the 70’s and they used lead paint on all steel back then.
PERHAPS YOU MAY FIND RED LEAD PRIMER AS WELL!
@ 3:27, pause and zoom in. The fasteners are nuts and bolts.
good video, I count over 14 cuts
Who is doing the cutting and hook up on these pieces under water? My hat goes off to everyone of these folk!
SOUNDQUALITY has an 18-part series on what happened
Great. Thanks. Are you able to see the condition of the steel inside the beams?
好了不起的工程！第一次见到这么大的海上吊车，壮观！
Just found you, like your way of explaining. Thx. What will be done with all that steel? Is it recyclable?
I'm not sure where the steel is heading, but I'm sure a recycling plan is in place
Probably China
Excellent video s.
Watched your videos on the car carrier Golden Ray?
Thanks for reenlisting with the Minorcan Navy!
Tug boats are by far my favorite maritime equipment. Seems the barges can take more pieces before moving?

It’s going to take 10 years to remove the wreckage of the Key bridge and construct a new bridge. This was how long it took Caltrans to remove and re-build just the west span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge which was damaged in an earthquake and also by a ship colliding with it.
Maybe do a video about the whole team ? ICS, Incident Command System ? Unified Command ? Who does what ? A BIG diagram of who does what ?
A bunch of guys with boats and cranes don't just show up...
We will work on a visit with Unified Command a bit later. They are tasked with a sizable project of the utmost importance, the safe removal of the Dali and Key Bridge. I would rather they concentrate on the task at hand
@@MinorcanMullet I was thinking more of an academic white board, as available in the ICS courses,(ICS 200, 700, 100, rather than interviews.
Like what is the role of the Corps of Engineers, the Coast Guard, the private companies.
Any spokes person for any of these entities should be able to explain. That's their job.
Yes, PLEASE don't take any time away from the critical job people.
When do they cut away the bridge from the MSG ship
Great to see CROFTON THERE as a local Va beacher! Unfortunately
Their team has a STRONG line up representing here!
I bet them guys have a better plasma cutter than one from Harbor Freight. 🤣 Thanks for the video and Have a great day but don't start talking like them northern folks. God Bless
I bet you did not know that most folks in Baltimore were on the Southern side in the War Between the States?
Do you plan to put all this video together as a time lapse once they are done?
No plans so far
Captain, how close do they allow you to get to the bridge work? Thanks for reporting
The safety zone is 2000 yards. I set the chart for 1.25 miles. Keeps the boat outside the zone with a bit of room to spare.
WOW
How far from site is the camera sir ? ! Great job !
2000+ yards
Is there any investigation or examing of the steel pieces. When the bridge fell I saw 4 different locations along the top of the bridge that had sparks flying ? Just saying.
I believe the sparks were from the electrical circuits, lighting, that was on the bridge. There were street lights and navigational lights.
rivets? i thought i saw bolts and nuts but i'm not there.
