Isn't it therefore so anomalous that the initial collapse can not be heard on any recorded footage, including the yamorous duo trespassing at Fort Armistead. You'd think that splash would have been legendary. In fact, the splashdown of the relatively tiny imploded chunk is far taller and made more noise than the recordings (and recountings) of the initial collapse. Anomalies galore.

Trusses are hard. If you blow each charge at the same time, you can't get momentum going in one direction to have stuff fall away from the ship. If you delay some of the charges to get momentum going in one direction, then the truss becomes unstable and therefore unpredictable in its motion. Those charges are usually connected via det cord not individually remote controlled for reliability and safety. That way they either all go off or none go off. The last thing you want is for one of the charges to not go off. Then you have to treat it like a hangfire in a firearm. Dangerous stuff. If you need a delay, there are special devices you can insert inline with the det cord that will delay the propagation by a very short period of time. The length of the det cord can also be used to create a delay.

depends who does the job. I bet the Army Corp did this and not a specialist firm. The top end companies have different means of controlling the sequence of explosions. It is not uncommon to have two separate circuits to each charge to insure proper timing especially in jobs like this where they might have a hangup. Something like a truss of this nature in particular they would be very careful to have backup to avoid a hangup that world be very very difficult to clear. This job was clearly not done by a top company and the result shows it. The government does everything low bid. sometimes you get the low bid result.

What you are missing is that a second vertical beam on the harbor side was only blown on one side towards the harbor. There was a comment over the marine radio recorded by Micorcan Mullet that this was intended. It acted as a fulcrum and turned the highest steel section bayward as it fell. The beam structurally failed by stripping a side off of the vertical beam all the way down to the bridge deck. It kept the higher section close to the bow when it fell over but importantly kept it going away. This was obvious on a helicopter zoom view that was circling the Dali after the blast. It's the only piece of steel still attached to the roadway on the Dali. Alan,, PE, D.WRE, USCG/US Army Corps of Engineers (ret.)

Ай бұрын

@@cranberrysauce61 Exactly right, from the News camera coverage from the south-east, the top section very abruptly went east. Where did this momentum come from? Gravity would have pulled it straight down. The only possibility was an internal force not obvious at the time. It's only in the post-mortum analysis that there was an incomplete beam blast on the Dali. Someone looking at the results from the water stated over the Marine Radio that that was intended.

The upper members weren't the major concern. The bridge deck and the lower members had to be sheared off far enough away, so that as it fell, the weight of the entire remaining bridge section did not rake down along side the ship and pierce the hull. I think the results looked excellent since the main section settled nicely onto the bottom, and the individual section slid off and ended mostly vertical beside the ship.

The shrapnel is mostly those protective blankets that were used to catch the metal. The ones that traveled the furthest probably had pieces of metal in them. I’m sure those blankets are made out of Kevlar and all sorts of space age fabrics. They are quite heavy.

The 'shrapnel' is all the rubber blankets designed to catch the liquid copper from the cutting charges. It takes all the force from them, so it flies pretty far. They are pretty clean cuts, so there's no steel flying around.

Well hello Dali, you're looking swell Dali.

Super Mega impressed with the camera work. Crisp Clear. Well done!

I was watching 3 streams today - STL, Minorcan and the AP. And I saw Jeff on all of the chats. 😁 Here to see what angles I missed... and the algorithm.

all in all, i say it was a successful demolition. the goal was to cut the truss to smaller bits for the cranes to easily carry out. on the original video on DVIDS it says " to create multiple, smaller sections, which allows salvors to use cranes and barges already on scene to remove these sections of the bridge and ultimately remove the M/V DALI from the channel" so the plan was always use precision cutting then use the barges to remove the pieces and then float the dali to move her. plus if you analyze the animation you realize there are several inherently flaws with it, like the shape charge detonations do not line up with the parts the truss is cut up, and the unrealistic physics on the part of the truss that is resting on the dali. so it an animation of the gist of what was going to happen and not a simulation of the expected out come of the event.

Actually the truss debris left on the bridge was intentional. Captain Andy caught a radio transmission to that effect a few minutes after the BOOM. Think about it, they had all those smashed containers under the roadway and truss. They didn't want that mess rolling into the bay, so they purposely severed the top from the bottom, allowing the top to roll into the bay. The pieces left behind are still holding the smashed containers in place, but the pieces left are much more manageable now that the tremendous weight is gone. That's a really great report you've put together for us tonight. I was chillin' with you in Captain Andy's Live Chat when this all went down. You've pulled a lot together in a short amount of time and it came out well, Thank you Jeff.

Another great video, the steelwork seemed to go away from the hull as planned.

That was a pretty accurate actual result of what should have happened. I don't think for a minute that the cement road way and steel beams under the cement would be drug off the ship. That will have to be removed the slow way. There may have been some structure left on the ship but it was minor compared to what was there before the detonation. There is still a tremendous amount of weight in that cement, the rebar and steel beams under the cement. There was a great view of the ship in one video that showed just how much lower the bow is than the rest of the ship. Great job on the videos Jeff and thank you for keep us up to speed on whats happening.

That demo looks successful. Now they can clear the bow of the heaviest debris.

Jeff once again great video.

It will be interesting to see if this thing is floating in 2 or 3 days like it has been stated on Andy's page. The ship is still nose down hard on the river bottom, and looked like it gained no buoyancy when the truss section came off.

The small amount if truss still on the Dali was most likely left so that the charge would not impact the containers near it, as they need to be insurance investigated. They can remove the one girder either with cutting torch or just remove it with the dockside cranes. I agree that anything in the water can be removed with the claw as if it is rigged properly, it can cut as well as grab.

Right at 13:44 notice the huge warped, wilted, distorted girders hanging from North Pillar. What melted them?

Hi as regards the crew of the Dali, I have a suggestion to watch. Karavir Singh KZread video: Inside the Accommodation of the biggest Maersk ship. It's quite an eye opener as to what it's like to live aboard these container ships.

In some of the views it appears that the falling pieces get hung up on the remaining piece in the river, preventing the stuff on the boat from moving as expected. The sound of the hotel being demolished was muffled because the explosions were inside the hotel. The bridge was all outside, with only the outside of the beams covered with blast maps. I'm guessing it is all 1 sequential fuse, with parallel lines to ensure all blasts happen. There are special fuses that can be inserted to create delays.
