Hello from Buffalo NY. Been watching for a couple weeks now. GREAT coverage you are giving the world to watch. Started watching because Sal recommended your channel. Gotta applaud EVERYONE that's involved in this MASSIVE operation. it Blows my mind to think about all the planning and logistics it takes to get a job like this done. This 'IS' America at its BEST.... No matter what , (good, bad, big, or small)...... We CAN & WILL get the job done. God Bless EVERYONE that's involved in this operation. Keep up the GREAT work.. THANK YOU, and Be Safe.

So appreciate your coverage-I check in twice daily. ProudMayladescendant

I too watch every morning to see the news of the ship’s progress in morning and evening ! To bring me up to date as to see the progress of the recovery of the ships movement ! Please let us know when they plan to move the ship !

Can we give it up for all the tug boat captains out there working hard!

The workers are doing a fine job with zero injuries. As far as containers, there still hazemat materials on the starboard side and under the steel sticking up.

I saw that they didn't put charges on that steel Because of those hazmat materials/containers. I wish I could remember where I saw that..but they are having to remove that steel with as little damage to those containers as possible.

I can’t believe there’s only one 1000 tonne crane available and it has to do the main straight lifting and ‘claw’ work. Where are all the other major cranes up to 20,000 tonne lifting capacity for the worlds most important salvage job?

There is much larger, more capable equipment in Singapore, and elsewhere in Asia, that could likely have that mess cleaned up in a week or two. Jones act certainly prevents that.

I thought the Jones act only affected the transport of goods. There are several 10,000t plus capacity floating cranes in Europe. Why isn’t this part of the discussion?

Thank you for everything

When are they are they planing to move the ship ? Do they have a plane for a time to move the ship out to a docking area so they can remove all the Debre In the channel area ? Or are they waiting for a opening in tide or debre to clear the ship of material on it ?

Good evening sir from the uk

Servant16731 Andy for your info the ship has 10 tons of water pumped in the bow to keep it in the mud and yes there is a lot of debris weight on the bow also but when she ready to move they will pump out the bow and it will rise./

From what I've heard since the livestream ended-----the claw came up with a bigun.

The Audio sounds good on my end.

What is that beside the claw???

That ship sitting there really slows everything down, hopefully they can get it out of there pretty soon

Why propulsion is on same circuits as rest of vessel looks like a bad string of Christmas tree lights

Battery gets low which makes the headroom of the audio get lower so it becomes easier to exceed the headroom of the audio which causes clipping distortion. Clipping distortion may cause a dynamic range limiter to dip your audio level during the clipping event.

@MinorcanMullet

I don't monitor the audio. Too much latency and the crew lets me know pretty quickly when the wheels come off

like u said not a lot going on,why is it that the steel upright on the bow has not been removed ,surely that would have been the first lift to do, so 3hrs of nothing i am sorry to say

I've been watching since the bridge collapse. I see another of Crain booms sitting idle just wondering why .

Is the Dali still aground or did she float when the weight was lifted?

Doing what ? Driving the tugs around ? They should have stayed with the ship until the ship cleared the bridge ! In case of a problem that was caused by loss of engine power as it happened a mile or so more would have prevented the crash ! They should make it a law that the ships that size should be escorted out of the bay and be out in ocean waters ! The ship wasn’t clear of the bridge supports !

You would think at least one crane would have a magnet on it. Seems like it would be quicker..

Are they planning to open any of the containers ? Or just shipping them out to there destination marked on them when they first saw the cars sticking out of one or two of the containers that were broken open ! Some word was that the cars were stolen and were headed over seas as stolen cars from the Baltimore area ? They had license plates on them checking to see if the cars were stolen !

What are they talking about when they talk about spuds??

I see the channel, the round thing isn't there now, it was big enough to set the claw on,it had tires around it I thing!

Wonder if this “claw” could have lifted that Russian sub worked on by the Glomar Explorer?

These barges and cranes are sure in tight spaces.

Why did the ship change coarse to the starboard. It was a big change of coarse. Not explained in the NTSB report.

It lost electrical power and there was a fuel pressure problem too. The wind and tide just took over.

this is like watching paint dry not much debrie being removed

Why have they not used the claw to remove debris from the bow of the ship is that to hard

Could they use the smaller cranes to remove cargo containers ? They will need to do that to lighten it anyway.

🤣😂🤣😂 if they started the day of the wreck pulling of containers with cranes and chains putting them on a barge and then pushing it to the port to unload they would still not have them all off 🤣😂🤣😂 A good Port Crane Operator (specially equipped with a spreader bar for picking up containers) does about 25-30 continents an hour, there’s 4700 +/- containers on the ship

Watching from the UK a great site BUT please don't over talk so much when the VHF radio communication is talking 😊

why they dont load down the containers

Why does the "claw" move so slow?

Nearly four hours and the only way it’s live is sea birds flying about I’d sack the lot and get some workers in

Its like watching paint dry

I bet the crane hire guys are rubbing their hands take it steady lads we’re making a fortune here

they might have divers in water to pin point where to drop it

The armchair minions never end.you have to go slow and safe
