Jeff Ostroff shows you the first video and photos aboard the MV Dali ship after the unified command exploded the Francis Scott Key bridge truss off the bow of the ship's deck. You will also see what steps the salvors are taking in preparation to refloat Dali and tow it back to the Seagirt terminal.

There are also more updates on the engineering disaster salvage operation of the MV Dali ship striking the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing the bridge collapse in Baltimore, Md. on the Patapsco River.
You'll also see the incredible cranes cutting off and removing large sections of existing bridge truss metal from the now re-closed channel. The MV Dali collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD on March 26, 2024. You'll see progress so far in this Baltimore bridge collapse.

The orange cone is still on the roadway. It has withstood wind, rain, explosions, and workmen walking around it. It should be saved as a memorial to the lost workmen on the bridge.

There has been some comments that when they have rigged a load, "Why don't they just haul it out of the water?". Imagine the whip load on the boom, wires and the barge itself if the load suddenly broke loose, or was freed and began swinging. Running a crane is not as simple as it looks... These guys are showing incredible care and judgment with safety in mind.

Tired? Mississippi River work never stops. You can do 28 on 28 off or ride over for another 28. Work never stops. Not on holidays, Bae weather...Transport keeps going. I don't see why they would be tired. It's the job. I lost count of the bridge collisions I've dealt with. Bridge didn't fall but anywhere from 15 to 48 barges do break loose. Some sink. Some make it far downriver. Merchant Mariners are used to hard labor; the ones that last. We're running out of real men.

At 8:34 we see the ship's anchor windlass that has been crushed under bridge debris. This appears to be the port-side windlass where a Dali crew member had been standing just seconds before the collision. (The starboard windlass appears at 6:42.) The crew member testified that he had to run to escape the collapsing bridge! A second crew member was injured at this point, the only injury suffered amongst the ship's crew. That information is recorded in the NTSB preliminary report.

If you notice the many missing nuts/bolts in the gusset plates...the bolts aren't merely sheared off and/or bent as is expected but instead they are simply and completely not present, as if they had never been installed to begin with. This and many more anomalies are explored in the 70 part series on CONSPIRA. Look at all that amazing amount of insta-rust, too! The bridge was painted regularly and so all that rust appeared since the take-down.

@@ToxiCom-777 I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of those bolts were _launched_ as bursting pressures mounted on the gusset plates. It would really take photo checks from before the collapse to crosscheck It's amazing what can be gleaned from old photos. I managed to demonstrate that a local railway overbridge whose approach ramps have major ground subsidence issues was already subsiding in the 1950s, after finding it in the background of aerial photos taken 3 miles away (Also demonstated how warped its profile had become over time by scaling and comparing photos taken from the 1920s-60s with current ones) (The bridge itself was replaced and heavily strengethened in 1903 due to subsidence issues but the ramps - built in 1873 - weren't. 44 ton trucks didn't exist back then so you can imagine the effect they've had when the foundations have an aquifer 3 feet below the surface)

When I saw them climbing that rope ladder on to ship I had a flashback! When I was like 10yrs old I got to ride on a huge coastguard icebreaker. To get on the ship a smaller boat took us to a rope ladder to board, the ship and boat were moving. Some huge waves and chunks of ice slammed against the ship and the huge ice chunk (the size of a truck) got pinched in between the ship and boat went upwards towards me on the ladder. Hitting my feet and next thing I know my feet are off the ladder and I’m just hanging. To make a long story longer, two coast guard guys grab my arms rip me up the ladder and in the process broke the strap for my mother’s camera I had around my neck and into the water it went. I guess things that day could have gone much worse…

No prestressing strands or even reo through the centre is a question mark on the construction? Or is that a roadway support beam?

Many thanks for a really good look at whats going on with Dali. One would of thought that tug boats would be mandatory for massive ships that can't restart their engines, or even reverse them without stopping and starting, would be used anywhere there is key infrastructure. For a ship that was going straight and only had limited or no steering after the power failed, appears to have made a remarkably sharp turn towards the bridge.

@user-sm3xq5ob5d 14 күн бұрын

First I seem to notice some wires and thought it could be a magnet. The flat bottom suggest such. What I wonder is what the effect on the roadway will be. The roadway is reinforced concrete that might crumble but then the broken pieces are still held together by the rebar. That cannot be crushed. Only sheared by a knife of appropriate size. Or blasted. But that would be difficult because the blast would go right through the rebar mesh and not getting it apart. So some underwater torching will be needed.
