Oh, weird, *ANOTHER* "freak accident" at a major trade/commerce hub that'll devastate supply chains for the forseeable future. What a coincidence.
Why didn't you mention Norfolk where they pretty much have made a lot of the adjustments and have started to outpace other east coast ports like Baltimore in recent years
Port of Virginia is doing well, but NY/NJ and Savannah are the two largest on the East Coast.
Every comment: "As a <INSERT PROFESSION HERE>, I found your explanation..."
I was in the Navy and the ship I was on was a piece of junk. We could not even make it from the west coast to Africa. We had to go into dry dock and was always having to get repaired. Our captain was a piece of crap. I think this is just a way to import Palestinians into the United States. They could get aid into Gaza through Egypt and Isreal. This is a ruse by the Biden administration to bring in more migrants into the U.S.
US dominates the Cell phone OS. What is wrong with the world?
The Lone Cone of the Catastrophe
all this could have been avoided if "FENDERS" were built surrounding each support entering the water....
They needed a barrier that would have prevented the ship from physically hitting the bridge.
that's what a "Fender" is..
this is weird. I'm getting a chat room from what's going on with shipping on a live cam from Houston rail traffic.
Sail Army!
"Concurrency".... a mode of government acquisition of "vehicles" that is not just foolish but is indifferentiable from enemy action. Perhaps more generously it resembles some sort of mob-style bust-out on the American taxpayer. LCS, Ford CVN, Coast Guard Security Cutter and other "systems" too numerous to chronicle here. Also not nearly enough dry docks or graving docks or construction yards. The Navy is naively still "Divesting To Rebuild" and retiring ships at a rate MUCH greater than they can be replaced. One can also hardly disagree with your observation that the U.S. functioned after WWII as "world policeman" of land and sea. One might argue MUCH more successfully at sea than on land but perhaps globalization has been fostered enough that after 80 years some of these folks might have to start puling their own weight. Peaceful Skies.
Excellent commentary, thanks for your work.
Thanks for the update. I was aware of a little of this but not the details or bigger picture.
Need a Merch store for your great SHIRTS!
Excellent thank you for posting all the interesting informative information on your KZread channel
What a surprise. The US will not deliver the aid to starving Palestinians.
The USA original version of turtle tanks.
Retired USN Chief Engineer (steam). We always split the elex load when under restricted maneuvering.
I don't get cruises. You can do all the same things on land at a fraction of the price. Then I can go home and sleep in my own bed because I didn't die from a rogue wave or a pirate attack or disease I couldn't walk away from or some incompetent, drunk captain. I won't disrespect my ancestors that crawled out of the water and on to the land to evolve into me, only to go back into the water to die. Thanks for sharing.
Will there be mandatory changes in procedures/tug help/electrical systems because of this. or will it just come down to a problem with this ship & business as usual??
Soooo.....basicly all these TERRIBLE decisions were pushed thru because of the politicians who have insider trading stocks relying on them
The message is “C’mon, get real. We’re not able to fight big wars anymore. Not going to happen. We’ll just send drones or something and call it good.”
Thank you so much. appreciate your input. Glad I found your page. Flagg
You have to look at the intention behind this the Chinese are creating the infrastructure that they can build a navy that can dominate the world that's what they really want
The Houthis have demonstrated that hitting transportation infrastructure is a major problem. Bigger ships may make shipping cheaper, but also exposes each as a point of weakness. What is easier... sinking one huge ship or 5 smaller ones? Yeah... putting too many eggs in one basket is foolish in this modern world.
It would not make sense trying to out build China. Not possible to compete against their economies of scale. Instead, we need to develop weapons that can take out those ships more easily. This is what Russia has been doing developing sophisticated air defenses to counter US's superior air force, knowing well in advance that they would not be able to out build the West. This doesn't mean we don't need more shipyards, sure, but we also need to focus on superiority using latest tech as opposed to sheer mass. The mass doctrine is obsolete and can be witnessed in the disproportionate losses of Russian forces on the front lines in Ukraine. All it took is cheap drones. New tech and aggressive innovation iterations must remain as top priority.
The UniParties way , Fail upwards......
Hi Sal! This has probably been asked before but why didn't they use land based winches to pull the Ever Given off the shore, surely they would have more control and pulling power?
After learning about the NTSB report on the Dali and watching analysis of events, I am left wondering if in these seaports there is not something like an airtraffic controller that is responsible for directing traffic. Could Sal explain that in one of his videos.
As if it was planned..( To Take out)the bridges and shipping routes . By our government
So you have no idea why did it crash into the bridge.
It hit the bridge because the ship lost power and without power, it lost both propulsion and rudder control. When power was restored, they had partial rudder control, but no thrust for maneuvering as the main engine was off line. The ship was coming out during a slack tide, but Curtis Channel was off the starboard quarter and it may have given the ship the drift to starboard that set it on course to hit the southern pier.
Great video
Other than this being a lie nothings happening to the army ships being sunk
Breakers are controlled by relays which are susceptible to cyber attacks. That said, the root of the issue was shutting the exhaust damper. Why would someone do that and why aren’t there controls to lock out closing an exhaust damper? Is there a reason someone intentionally choke off the exhaust like that?
The exhaust damper was done while in port a day before and not during the departure from Baltimore.
I've never paid too much attention to the world's shipping until I started watching your coverage on the Dali. Now, I look forward to all your videos. Thank you brother.
Sal, are you OK? one of the milestones of this and you are radio silent? worried...
I highlighted Minorcan Mullet's broadcast. Working on a What the Ship for Maritime Day.
Great video. You forgot to include priority baggage space, it seems most flights these days don’t have for all the carryon bags
Ship shouldn’t be released to owner till all costs to rebuild bridge are paid
The said third wave would certainly have put a stick in the spokes of USA. The fuel dumps and dry docks would have eventually been repaired and replaced. You yourself said the Coral sea battle would not have happened "So what" you would say, well every Oz knows that women, children and old people were being sent to Alice Springs in the middle of the desert. Every guy 13yrs and older was being sent to the armoury in anticipation of the attack on Port Morsby followed by the attack on the North Coast and invasion. We only directed 10% of our effort to Japan but with the third wave we would have had to bump that up to 30-40% because of the losses that would have happened at Pearl. This would have taken a lot of pressure off the Nazis and maybe given them an extra 1-1 1/2 yrs on their nuclear program and then? Not to mention a serious drop in lend lease for the Brits.
Hey Sal, I’ve been watching your videos for about a year now and love your content. I’m in the navy right now and was interested in vein a merchant marine when I get out, do you think you could do a video on the best way to go about getting in and all of the requirements?
What Navies round the world need, including the US, desperately is Innovation. The, all Aluminium Spearhead-Class Expeditionary Super-Fast transport (EPF) is an excellent example of this. Why focus on Littoral combat ships, when there are sucess stories elsewhere...
Priceless 😊
Did they find the 5th body
Yes. All six bodies have been recovered. 🙏🏼
The world s number one in ship building and also car making
Man, this gives flashbacks of the skyway bridge collapse in St. Petersburg all those years ago.
