It's much safer to let those trusses fall into the water and then grapple them later. If they tried to take it away when sections were being removed, how would they achieve a secure grasp of the section? In addition, it would be very likely to swing around after separation, risking killing the cutters. The crane cables would also be a hazard, if in close proximity to those people. Then there are risks from failure of cables. If a cable were to snap (and it has happened more frequently than people realise), it would whip around wildly, and could easily cut a man into pieces. I've seen a ship's mooring cable snap, and even though it was much smaller than that crane's cable, both ends of the failed section did a lot of damage, and a crew member had to jump for his life. Tensioned cables have a lot of potential energy.

Yes it is the time and money factor is why they left that beam go into the drink. Number one its cooled off and number 2 the water is not that deep there so its easy to to use a grappled or magnet crane to get it back to the surface.

Something suspended from a crane has the potential to swing in unpredictable directions when separated from a fixed anchor. Letting that beam drop straight into the water was the safest choice for the men in the basket.

A compromise would be to cut a hole into the beam, and attach a *_slack_* cable to the beam through the hole, long enough to let the beam fall into the water. The beam would have no risk of swinging, but it would sink only partway to the bottom, and the cable could be used to lift it out of the water, and haul it away. You could even attach *_two_* slack cables, one toward the top and the other toward the bottom. Then you would give them a lot of control when lifting the beam out of the water and onto a barge.

@tomlaurent8520

Problem is the impact of the beam hitting the end of the cable is effectively double the weight of the piece. (At least some of the impact factors used for design are as high as 2.0) I have seen impacts like that destroy cranes.

Don't support it with a crane: support it from other wreckage! Geez! I'm not even an engineer and I can think of all these things!

@patrickchase5614

Yep, you'd need to suspend it from multiple points in near-tension so that it can't swing, and that wouldn't be worth the hassle. With that said it seems to me that they could have attached a slack cable to it, let it fall into the water, and then used that cable to conveniently pull it back out. That would eliminate the risk of swinging while still saving the trouble of grappling it off the bottom.

SAAB's. Back in the late 80s I briefly dated a girl who was obsessed with SAAB's. We would be out driving around Melbourne and she would be spotting them and working out which model it was! To me they were just a funny looking car, but to her they were everything! Later on I had a neighbour who owned a SAAB, and he said that they were popular with pilots and I think that it had something to do with the way that the driving position felt like a cockpit. A few years ago one of our contractors had an almost brand new Bobcat stolen over the weekend from our other school campus, tracking device and all. The story was that it was probably in a shipping container and headed to China (or Africa?), so the problem is still ongoing. Anyway, none of these stories helped to get your car back which is a great pity but would you really want it back after it had been stolen? Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

The best way to remember is to understand how port and starboard got their names. Originally the rudder (or steering board) was located on the right side of a ship near the stern. As a result they had to moor the other side to the dock so they would not damage the steering board. Hence the left side became known as the port side and the right side became known as the steerboard side later becomming known as the starboard side.

Reminds me of an old sea captain. As weather would start turning rough, the captain would open his safe and pull out an old letter. He would sit and read it, and being filled with confidence would proceed to lead the crew through the storm. After many years of doing this the old captain died. The crew always wondered who the letter was from and what it said that gave the captain such confidence at the worst of times so they asked the first officer to read it at the funeral. The letter had one single line which read "Port is left, Starboard is right"

It makes it more incomprehensible how this ship could destroy this bridge in one fell swoop.

Jeff, there is an IAA (auto salvage auction) site on the south-west approach to Francis Scott Key Bridge. So likely these are flood/crash damaged vehicles going to Sri Lanka, to be repaired over there. So they have a few extra dents now, could still be salvaged for parts, assuming general average doesn't make it not worth sending them now.

They want to get the ship re-floated as expeditiously as possible. Fooling with a single piece isn't worth the time it would take since there are already many tons of debris on the bottom.

Just started watching your commentary on the salvage operation of the MV Dali. One thing that struck me immediately was your remark about why don't they try to trap or capture the pieces as they are cut from the wreckage. I don't know your education, work history or salvage experience. I won't insult you for being ignorant, after all, ignorance is just a lack of knowledge. I started in the USN right after graduation from HS in 1978. I retired from Ford Motor Co just a couple of years ago. I've seen a lot of machines crash and been involved in repairs, teardowns and "salvage" above the water. Rule no. 1: gravity is predictable, it goes straight down unless acted upon by an outside force. Try to tie something you KNOW is going to fall and predict the moments of inertia as the mass falls free is still beyond supercomputers. Cut it free, let it fall, stay away and stay alive. Rule no. 2: Nothing will do what you think it will. I've seen many times a salvage or "demolition" operation didn't go as planned. Even when the lifting equipment may be calculated to handle the lifted load, the center of mass may not be where you think the center of gravity is. What happens next is scary $#!+. I've seen steel balconies 25Hx35wx30L flip over 130 degrees in multiple axis as soon as that final attachment is cut. Rule no 3: Every entanglement is an unpredictable outside force on gravity's natural straight down pull. Depending on the time domain of each attachment reaching it's max load, a new moment of inertia is put into play. Things will violently lurch one direction or another. I've also been very close to incidents where improper, insufficient, or unpredicted outcomes are left out of a pre-job briefing. That resulted in large pieces of metal traveling in unpredicted directions, and the job crew could only watch in horror as a man's neck was slashed open by an I beam and he bled out in seconds. Rule no.4". Ensure the area below is clear of personnel, rope it off, post a watch to ensure no one wanders in, cut it free and watch it fall straight down. It's always cheaper to pick it up later, than tell a mother her husband won't be home tonight.

(Port) (left) (red) short lettered words that go together....(starboard) ..(right) ...(green)..... Long lettered words.!!!!!! That's how they taught us. And I was watching your cabinetry video.... And I noticed if I drill a pilot hole the wood does not split.... But one time when the head of the screw came down because it was tapered and I didn't counter sink it split.... But even if you cut a counter sink with a special tool.... That tapered head still can push that would apart and crack it the trick is light pressure... Watching closely when that head first starts to make contact... And I noticed some heads have teeth on them to help cut and relieve pressure.... What I do is I back off on my trigger and let alone...... the torque to drive the screw increases and it comes to a natural stop... And then if need be open the pilot hole up ....up by the head slightly so it can't push on very much material and split... My dad taught me to explain myself cuz he was an engineer like you..... I thank God for you guys....TGBTG... To God be the glory.... I'm a machinist and I have some welding experience.... I love your videos... I wait in great anticipation for the next video.... Super macho stuff. Just think if you wanted to build a crane that was bigger than that .....all you need to do is want to do it bad enough and have the money and you got it. I wonder if that claw has a sheer attachment.

Those empty cargo containers I mentioned the other day are good for something, stolen cars!

Stolen cars (expensive cars) are shipped all the time to foreign countries to be sold for profit. Especially Africa and countries in the middle east.

The blue box is a 20 yard dumpster that they must brought out on a barge to help clean up the bow of the Dali ?

Great close ups thanks. I like to remember the right side of the ship with the sound the word sta"R"board makes - "R" for right side. Lol.

Great shots. Great camera work.

@9:19 the chain looks like ship anchor chain, I happen to own one link of such a chain, the one link weighs 148 pounds!

How many of these vehicles are stolen vehicles being shipped out of the country.

Been watching too much Soprano's & Wired.

I’m retired out of being a heavy duty diesel mechanic in the international mining business and I’ve worked daily around steel, big steel. That I-beam they cut the steel is probably 1 inch thick and 12 inch or bigger in dimension which means it probably weighs in at 10 tons or more. It’s a lot easier to just let it drop into the water then to rig it to another crane then have it swinging around in the wind at the end of a steel cable.

FABULEUX TRAVAIL....COURAGE.. a gréât thank for all the people WHO ARE DOING THIS WORK..

What was the point of this video?

Click bait for sure.... Video views are $$.

All of you key board engineers should send in your resume I’m sure they would be dying to hire you with all of your experience and your engineering degree

Reasonable visuals. A healthy helping of exaggeration and some actual factual reporting mixed in

Fantastic... we have never been united like your country

What the heck! They shouldn’t just let that junk crash into the water!! 😮

way harder to pick up from the ocean right? why not chain and winch?

Did you see the big claw? It will be easier to remove all of the debris with that instead of rigging each piece individually.

@@mattharper588 really? the mud is REALLY thick and made of clay. so the way that fell it could of went in very deep creating a vacuum effect that the claw wouldnt be able to get out. meaning sending divers in a low visablity and very dangerous (sharp metal and rebar are some of the worst hazards as they can cut/trap you.) environment this to me was a job crew doing it as fast as they can(alot of companys get huge bonuses the faster they get it done), not seeing the huge amount extra work another crew will have to do(underwater recovery is 95% going to be a different company) anything under the water is 10 times harder to remove that spending and extra few hours rigging up a crane

Thank you for these. It's sad that I live in Baltimore and this is where I have to come to get any information

love your updates and your candor Good Job

I love the uneducated questioning why they let that piece fall. Do you not remember inertia from middle school science? Even the Chesapeake 1000 would struggle to safely capture that falling piece of steel. There are actual demolition engineers on this job- let them do their job without being second guessed by nobodies.

thanks great job jeff

( 2:01 Expediency in time)wonderful quote by the great master 🎉

Another gem of a video

Thanks again

In 7th grade I remembered it the opposite way. The word "Starboard" was longer and so it matched the longer word "right". I'm dislexic. 😂

The verticle portion may have been hard to rig too or would have took to much time to weld or bolt a safe rigging point to

Thanks for the "port/left" tip. 😊

Absolutely nothing in this video mentioned about any vehicle being STOLEN. HOW DID THEY ARRIVE AT THAT CONCLUSION. CLICKBATE

Thanks for pointing out the sense of scale - the two men in the basket vs the huge girder. What with the massive ship and the huge, huge bridge, its the scale of it all rhat i grapple with

First thing popped in my mind was the Sopranos episode where the cars were being stolen and shipped overseas 😮

I enjoy your video's. You have a of great pictures. Thank you for the video 📸📸📸📸❤❤❤😊😊😊

3:06 "Port is always left on the table" was the mnemonic I learned back when I worked in a Chandlery. Also Port 🍷is red, so that helps with the light colour coding.🚦

@2.52 Best way to remember..... The RED boat LEFT PORT.

Good Job on these videos! Made me think of a future Erector Set coming soon to a store near you 🤔

The way I remember port or starboard is the phrase " Is there any PORT wine LEFT".

Best way to remember starboard/port side: The rudder of a viking ship is placed in the right/ starboard side. Not to damage it at port, port always will be at "port side".

Its funny to me everyone thinks a car is stolen if its shipped in a sea can. In fact its cheaper to ship a single car in a 20 feet sea can than getting loaded on a RoRo vessel. As soon as the car is in the can, its handled as cargo, and not a vehicle, way cheaper to insure. Easier to load and unload. No expensive handling fee as it has to be driven on and of the ship. And way faster delivered. I imported a 73 Ranchero GT from the states. costed me less than 2k to rent and transport a container to the EU. If i used the RoRo route it would have bin 5 times that money. And as soon as it was loaded in the Container, I diddnt have to worry about the car breaking down or getting damaged. I bet there are hundreds of cars on the Dali. Its very common to ship new and used cars this way. And of course there are stolen cars shipped this way. But dont you think it would be a easy catch if every car in a container is stolen? Just xray and take it out of the line.

Starboard is a version of steer board. When people steered a ship by sticking a board over the edge, they usuallly stuck it over the right side because most people are right handed. Then you don't want that side up against the dock so the other side, the left side, is the port side. This is the story I was taught. I find it useful.

I was going recommend, how to remember port / starboard. But you led right into the exact way I do it. 😊

Cool, thanks

I used to haul containers for Maersk, many of times I would pickup rough cut lumber at lumber mills that were sent overseas. I was told that these companies that get the lumber, turn them into crappy furniture then send back to the US.

Good way to remember port vs starboard. It also goes for the light colors. Red for left/port has fewer letters than green for right/starboard.

I have wondered just what was in all those containers. I hope they tell us the values of the ruined and usable cargo. I am expecting them all to be filled. I love watching the CLAWS!
