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?

@@MinorcanMullet your video makes me feel the size of the bridge!! Very impressive!
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.
Great video
Outstanding sir, you brought the Mullett up from Brunswick? How cool is that.
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.

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 ?
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.
Great pictures
What's really sad is that this was a well built bridge taken out by what will probably turn out to be someone negligence.
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!
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
Ol Chessie has those aft ballast tanks to the brim!

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

In essence, that is what insurance is; spreading the load and cost of risk.
Thanks, no apology needed for the fog. It is what it is !
Who is doing the cutting and hook up on these pieces under water? My hat goes off to everyone of these folk!
Great. Thanks. Are you able to see the condition of the steel inside the beams?
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.

Tug boats are by far my favorite maritime equipment. Seems the barges can take more pieces before moving?
Just found you, like your way of explaining. Thx. What will be done with all that steel? Is it recyclable?

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.
SOUNDQUALITY has an 18-part series on what happened
April 28, 2024 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.

@@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
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.
@royreynolds108
Ай бұрын
I believe the sparks were from the electrical circuits, lighting, that was on the bridge. There were street lights and navigational lights.
WOW
rivets? i thought i saw bolts and nuts but i'm not there.
