Regarding why the dali didn't move. The AP just had a brief interview with the lead person from the army corps of engineers. He answered a question by saying they had recently pumped 10,000 tons of ballast into the bow of the Dali specifically to keep it from floating. The demolition crew setting off the charges was on board the DALI with the crew, which was ready to control the vessel in the event that it had refloated.

The most of the weight, bridge concrete deck and traffic barriers, are still on the ship. The pieces which flew off were light steel members.

Thanks for the info on the ballasting. I wondered why bow did not begin to rise after the bridge railing were blasted and released from the forward deck area.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE TIME &ALL THE VEDIO. I JUST CAME ACROSS I 95 U CAN SEE IT CLEAR AS DAY. IT'S A BLESSING THAT THE BRIDGE WASN'T LOADED DOWN WITH TRAFFIC. I CROSS THAT BRIDGE TWICE.

Thank you for this video. I think you're correct that the bow didn't shift. If you line up the top of the big solar panel next to the pylon with the hull of the ship there doesn't seem like any change in the ship's attitude. Between all that junk to be cleared and suck of the muck where the ship is stuck I guess that's to be expected.

Amazing Thank you for your hard work.

Those shaped charge cutting explosives certainly did the job, with almost surgical precision. They cut through thick steel like a hot knife through butter. A major step forward toward moving the Dali and the full reopening of the port. Are they planing to remove the road deck before they try to move the Dali, it must still be a huge weight across that bow section.

@MinorcanMullet

14 күн бұрын

I would think that would be the best option.

Tinittus kid......welcome to the club bud

Thank you Captain Andy for the great stream today.

its pretty staggering to think all that weight didn't cut the front of the Dali off altogether - i guess the containers acted much like a cushion absorbing the impact, but then you have to also consider the large chunk of concrete laid across the bow even with all that weight, i doubt the Dali will rise that much if at all, she is resting nose down in the mud i understand, and with that mass of concrete on board, i reckon she will stay nose down until she can be moved i kept my curser registered on the Dali during the demo, she didn't even flinch, still a mass of weight to shift, but now i wonder if they will need to remove the concrete remains of the pier, she could be unstable with that chunk still onboard great coverage Captain Andy

I just heard that the reason the steel is still standing on the deck is because there are broken containers at the base with flammable material in them. That is probably why I saw an arial shot shortly after the boom with firemen on the deck.

Wonderful job Capt Andy..........Jay

No thank you, you're what made it real! After all this whole thing is about a whoops.

Remind me of old time Live TV

Reading, hearing and seeing your stream loud and clear from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada.

re: "Did the Dali rise up?" IMHO, slightly. Before the demolition, the upper right-hand corner of the solar panel shows no blue hull above it; it is exactly in line with the gunnel upper edge. After the charges, there is a slim line of dark blue hull visible above that corner of the solar panel array. At this distance, is that about 1 or 2 feet of rise?

@RIPPERTON

14 күн бұрын

It DOES rise slightly. Rmbr half a millimetre on your screen is a meter on the Dali. I used the skyline of the containers against a black dot on the pole/mast in front of the ship. Its darker down at the solar panel and the edge of the gunnel is a bit blurry. The Dali is still sucked under by the mud, it will unstick itself in an hour or two.

@mlt6322

If you wind the video back to just before the blast and look at the small crane arm just left of the solar panels you see debris hanging off the ship and after the smoke clears that debris is about 6 ft higher above the crane arm.

He also said that the current plan is to leave the roadbed on the DALI until it is docked back in the shipyard and remove it there, but that could possibly change after they do all their inspections

Thank you for battery change update your all good 👍 with me seeing what your doing

Great sound and video up here in North East pa

The first morning I slept till 5 AM in months and I missed it. sigh

WJZ has the best copter video of the demolition today, they were upwind of the bridge, not obscured by the smoke. Meanwhile, WUSA copter is still on scene, people boarding the DALI and now up on the bow inspecting the results

Awesome wait a long time but it was well worth it 💥💥💥

Skip to 38:13

Yes it's all good

When you look at the top of the containers against the transmission tower, there was no discernible rise after the demolition.

Sounds great

well done sir

37:30 and the bridge is off the bow of the ship.

we hear you!!

Looking good in Nashville TN

It's a plan undoubtedly concurred by the salvage master; USCG; port of Baltimore, MD; MD dept of Trans; etc. With controlled explosions, the ultimate goal of accurately displacing material. You know Sal, in the end, regardless of all the "mistake proofing" everyone hopes for the best and prays for the rest"😮

38:13 charges go off

I bet tonite, they’ll have a giant “mullet fry” 👍🏼😀👍🏼 yumyum

The ship didn't budge.

Yip it's a cliff hanger, thanks for covering

Good to Northern Ontario

Just checked PBS coverage showing STARBOARD side. Bow never moved

Well, it is still down at the bow, which has extensive damage on both port and starboard sides. All they have to do now is get the remaining steel work off thd bow and that piece of 4 lane highway off. It's certainly not sea worthy, the bow is almost severed off. Its going to be a while before they sail.

It didn’t appear to have raised the bow of the ship any. Hopefully they can get it unstuck from the mud and moved.

Can actually see the Dali rise up slightly after the blast. Using a mark on the pole in front of the ship against the containers on the ship.
