You are getting some great pictures and videos.. You are the only reporter I fully trust. It is being reported on other channels that the bow section of the Dali was deliberately flooded to hold it down. I know you stated that was a possibility, but you didn't state it as an actual fact. Also some KZread channels are reporting that the Unfied command is saying they are going to attempt to move the ship without first removing the heavy debris from the bow. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It just makes handling the movement of the enormous ship more difficult. They last thing you want is a large piece of heavy debris falling on to a tug boat that's pushing the Dali around.
@JoeLinux2000
14 күн бұрын
@MinorcanMullet , I'm here to watch the progress, and how they are going about it. Obviously the people operating the heavy equipment have significant experience, which you have pointed out many times. I feel you are the most consistent reporter providing significant detail. This goes back to your reporting on the Golden Ray which as very detailed on an almost daily basis. Nobody else was covering it as well. Now we have Dr. Sal reporting regularly too, but he's actually relying on you for some of his material. I think he provides more of an overview of marine shipping and port operation in general, along with the operation of these very large ships. He actually worked on them and is knowledgeable about the maritime industry as a whole.

The early NTSB accident report, on this Baltimore bridge accident, is helpful and interesting over what lead to the container ship hitting the bridge and causing the bridge collapse too. It seems multiple circuit breakers, went off line for some reason, not once but twice within a few seconds or minutes of each other. Which cut power to engine pumps and rudder systems, which lead to the ship engine automatically shutting down too. So the bridge crew had no control over steering or propulsion too, so the container ship hit the bridge basically.
@user-di4kv9yk3g13 күн бұрын
nice coverage Captain Andy, i'm guessing most of the debris was the rubber matting used to dampen the outgoing blast, it did a great job, but even if its just rubber, you don't want to be near it, it can ruin your day, i was surprised normally with such charges, wire fencing is used to prevent debris escaping to far i did gather from a CNN report, the top man, think he was the Army Engineer said the Dali had its forward ballast tanks flooded to keep the vessel down during the blast, this would ensure she stayed in place during the blast and prevent her bobbing up and down, i guess with the remaining debris (especially the remains of concrete pier) on top of the bow, she might be a little unstable, so the next few days of clearance will be very interesting to see what they do - some great planning there i think credit to all concerned in this operation, i know we Brits generally laugh at Americans, coz you just love to blow stuff up, hehe, but i also think credit to the ship builders of Dali, she is definitely a strong vessel having taken such a horrific blow and i wish her future travels around the globe will be a breeze after this nasty affair

This kind of reminds me of controlled demolition in mining. If you slow those charges down on video, you can see the flashes as they create holes and then guide rock into the holes. A friend of mine is an explosives chemist, and the company they work for builds wireless detonation systems where the detonators are all connected via fibre optic cable.

Came to your channel because of another channel "jeffostroff" highly recommended you... and he couldn't have been more right! Fantastic coverage! And from a mile and a half away! I tuned in during the live chat that you were trying to do, but there were problems with that until you killed it and went back to the standard coverage. During the live chat, there was somebody in the background talking and I think the world got a proper introduction to Dundalk (a part of Baltimore). All of Maryland knows this accent and there have been numerous sayings that we use that reference Dundalk. At one point you said... "we are live... maybe a little more live than I want to be...", I absolutely lost it! I don't want to joke about another mans hardships... but by many of the comments, he was keeping a lot of us entertained. I would however like to see how he spells "boat"... because his annunciation sounds like "baooout". I'm sorry my man for poking fun at you... it was a cheap shot. But it's all in good fun. I hope you get whatever is going on in your life straightened up. But my compliments again to you Capt. for an outstanding job. I subbed so I can watch more of your work, from the north end of the Chesapeake on the Sassafras River. Perhaps we'll "see yous dooown the shore hun!" (a "Maryland" saying). Stay safe!

I don't imagine you or the tenants were doing anything wrong...they have the right to have guests and invited you to set up there...the owner is probably just sore because he didn't make a few bucks off of it...

You did a fantastic job of showing us the progress of clearing the debris from the scene. I still think these guys were stupid. They didn't use common sense when placing the charges. They should have had the entire structure rigged top to very bottom including the inner rails and the part that was on the ship ,not just select points. Otherwise the entire structure would have been blown to pieces and off the ship. Smaller pieces would obviously sink to the bottom of the river which is fine. It wouldn't need to be pulled out.

Andy, exactly how far away was your camera staged? Presuming you were there with the camera obviously, did you feel the blast? I ask because I got to witness the demolition of a large hotel on Clearwater Beach in Florida. Granted the demolition blast of the truss was tiny compared to the hotel demolition. We were able to view from just under 1k yards at 2700’ on our fishing pier, and I remember I could feel the blast from the different detonations, it went in about 4 or 5 timed stages. Impressive to say the least.

Watching on a Huge Monitor and with KZread Frame advance You can see quite the Detail. All that black stuff in the Air was the covering over the Charges. Thanks Much
Tat was amazing So clear and sharp in 4K. Thanks so much Captain , hope you're back soon safely
At 7:51 just before the general detonation there is a small horizontal flash just below the deck line under the missing front row of containers. Was that the initiation event? Did they use detonation cord?

You and me both!
You are getting some great pictures and videos.. You are the only reporter I fully trust. It is being reported on other channels that the bow section of the Dali was deliberately flooded to hold it down. I know you stated that was a possibility, but you didn't state it as an actual fact. Also some KZread channels are reporting that the Unfied command is saying they are going to attempt to move the ship without first removing the heavy debris from the bow. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It just makes handling the movement of the enormous ship more difficult. They last thing you want is a large piece of heavy debris falling on to a tug boat that's pushing the Dali around.

@MinorcanMullet , I'm here to watch the progress, and how they are going about it. Obviously the people operating the heavy equipment have significant experience, which you have pointed out many times. I feel you are the most consistent reporter providing significant detail. This goes back to your reporting on the Golden Ray which as very detailed on an almost daily basis. Nobody else was covering it as well. Now we have Dr. Sal reporting regularly too, but he's actually relying on you for some of his material. I think he provides more of an overview of marine shipping and port operation in general, along with the operation of these very large ships. He actually worked on them and is knowledgeable about the maritime industry as a whole.

Thanks Minorcan, for stopping the frame on the fireball, that was interesting. as I saw this video, I payed attention to the crew at the bridge of Dali, as they were also waiting for it to happen, also I couldn't tell if there were any Press members on the Dali Bridge getting footage of this special moment.

The shaped charge is RDX a Military explosive,When detonated travels at 27,400 feet per second.
Great view of the blast. Will be interested in how they deal with the girders still on the bow. Thanks Capt. Andy!

I'm not an explosives expert - but most of the flying debris was more than likely the black wrapping used around the areas where the charges were placed.
Andy, watched this on my Samsung 80" dude, awesome !! And yes, the splash when that girder hit the water was tremendous 😎

Go to 7:50 if you want to see the detonation and collapse sequence of the Key Bridge truss again.
It appears that the demolition dropped the lowest part of the truss and ricochet the upper part away from the ship. Great moves!

The early NTSB accident report, on this Baltimore bridge accident, is helpful and interesting over what lead to the container ship hitting the bridge and causing the bridge collapse too. It seems multiple circuit breakers, went off line for some reason, not once but twice within a few seconds or minutes of each other. Which cut power to engine pumps and rudder systems, which lead to the ship engine automatically shutting down too. So the bridge crew had no control over steering or propulsion too, so the container ship hit the bridge basically.
nice coverage Captain Andy, i'm guessing most of the debris was the rubber matting used to dampen the outgoing blast, it did a great job, but even if its just rubber, you don't want to be near it, it can ruin your day, i was surprised normally with such charges, wire fencing is used to prevent debris escaping to far i did gather from a CNN report, the top man, think he was the Army Engineer said the Dali had its forward ballast tanks flooded to keep the vessel down during the blast, this would ensure she stayed in place during the blast and prevent her bobbing up and down, i guess with the remaining debris (especially the remains of concrete pier) on top of the bow, she might be a little unstable, so the next few days of clearance will be very interesting to see what they do - some great planning there i think credit to all concerned in this operation, i know we Brits generally laugh at Americans, coz you just love to blow stuff up, hehe, but i also think credit to the ship builders of Dali, she is definitely a strong vessel having taken such a horrific blow and i wish her future travels around the globe will be a breeze after this nasty affair
Awesome
Great Video. It Shows How Big The Blast Really Was. The Steel Debris Went Very High. Also The Fire Plume At The Ship's Bow! I'm Thinking Some Steel Penetrated The Hull!!!

Fantastic capture Andy, I'm back onto night trawling back over here now.
....and the little puffs of smoke they promised... It was a huge cloud of Lead.
This kind of reminds me of controlled demolition in mining. If you slow those charges down on video, you can see the flashes as they create holes and then guide rock into the holes. A friend of mine is an explosives chemist, and the company they work for builds wireless detonation systems where the detonators are all connected via fibre optic cable.
Awesome video!

Came to your channel because of another channel "jeffostroff" highly recommended you... and he couldn't have been more right! Fantastic coverage! And from a mile and a half away! I tuned in during the live chat that you were trying to do, but there were problems with that until you killed it and went back to the standard coverage. During the live chat, there was somebody in the background talking and I think the world got a proper introduction to Dundalk (a part of Baltimore). All of Maryland knows this accent and there have been numerous sayings that we use that reference Dundalk. At one point you said... "we are live... maybe a little more live than I want to be...", I absolutely lost it! I don't want to joke about another mans hardships... but by many of the comments, he was keeping a lot of us entertained. I would however like to see how he spells "boat"... because his annunciation sounds like "baooout". I'm sorry my man for poking fun at you... it was a cheap shot. But it's all in good fun. I hope you get whatever is going on in your life straightened up. But my compliments again to you Capt. for an outstanding job. I subbed so I can watch more of your work, from the north end of the Chesapeake on the Sassafras River. Perhaps we'll "see yous dooown the shore hun!" (a "Maryland" saying). Stay safe!

Thanks for the play by play over time. In the past when I've done videos that I know will be sped up or slowed down, I used an analog clock, with a second hand, in the frame to easily see the passage of time. Don't know if something like that is possible in your set up, but it would make count down and such a lot easier for you. 'preciate all your efforts on our behalf.
It was fascinating to watch your live feed. One annoying part was that guy talking about his rental problems.
Amazing blast footage

If you looked closely at pre-det. photography? Magnetic sheets were covering the explosives. Holding the charges in place until they popped! I have seen and heard explosions! That was a pop! Decent report! Pretty loud! The plastic is your debris. Used to hang around the U S Naval Surface Weapons Center! Dahlgren Va. On the water as well as on land. Fun place. Heard the rail gun fire! Look that one up! The gun uses no powder!
Good job Captain.
Excellent, thanks! Referred here by Sal M., in yesterday's episode, where he showed your video of the detonation. Apparently it's not the original audio, as the sound is at the same time as the image, and cuts out right away as you resume narration. I'd love to hear the whole explosion, as it sounded from your vantage point, having read and heard some comments as to how much more intense it was than expected.

Looks like some removal will be necessary before the ship can move.
Looks like a lot of bridge debris stayed on the Dali. Lot of work to be done to refloat, she's still on the bottom.
Thanks, Captain Andy, for doing this...that shot of the fireballs at the beginning of the blast was awesome... I am curious...what was the "controversy" surrounding you on the day of the blast involving the tenants of the property? Was the owner upset? Maybe it's worth its own video to explain? I don't imagine you or the tenants were doing anything wrong...they have the right to have guests and invited you to set up there...the owner is probably just sore because he didn't make a few bucks off of it...

Nothing to do with me. Just unfortunate circumstances. Trying to help them as much as I can.
It looks like there are still huge parts of the structure on the ship. Yet the idea was to blow it up and get it off the ship. Am I looking at this wrong?
@MinorcanMullet
13 күн бұрын
No I don't think so. Maybe things didn't go as well as planned?
You did a fantastic job of showing us the progress of clearing the debris from the scene. I still think these guys were stupid. They didn't use common sense when placing the charges. They should have had the entire structure rigged top to very bottom including the inner rails and the part that was on the ship ,not just select points. Otherwise the entire structure would have been blown to pieces and off the ship. Smaller pieces would obviously sink to the bottom of the river which is fine. It wouldn't need to be pulled out.
Is someone documenting the removal of debris after the controlled detonation of the bridge? I was hoping someone would document the removal of debris prior to refloating and removing that Dali from the Channel.
Andy, exactly how far away was your camera staged? Presuming you were there with the camera obviously, did you feel the blast? I ask because I got to witness the demolition of a large hotel on Clearwater Beach in Florida. Granted the demolition blast of the truss was tiny compared to the hotel demolition. We were able to view from just under 1k yards at 2700’ on our fishing pier, and I remember I could feel the blast from the different detonations, it went in about 4 or 5 timed stages. Impressive to say the least.
