Crews carefully start removing first piece of twisted steel from collapsed Baltimore bridge 

thanks for showing us 2 seconds of the cranes doing stuff.

There will be a tremendous amount of torsional, compression, and tensional forces left in this wreck, hope all the entire workforce succeed without injury, all the best from UK.

Shouldn't the shipping insurer be covering all costs? (cleanup and rebuilding)

How many hours? 24 hours a day

This governor acts like he's auditioning for a higher level job. He's pretty smooth and says all the right things, makes all the right gestures. It's his big moment in the national spotlight.

We should be spending "the Big Guy's" 10% on this.

Time is money, but here's hoping no one puts time pressure on the workers cutting steel. We've seen enough tragedy from this incident.

Hopefully the press conferences will stop soon. This governor is having way too much fun with this.

It'll be closer to $2 billion than to $1B for the bridge rebuild.

the new bridge will take forever.

I have been on the other end of that Fire stick ! If every one stays out ! they can clear it in no time ! STAY A WAY ! LET THEM DO THERE JOB !

Common sense says that the company or companies that own the Ship are the ones who should pay for the damage. I work in the transporting of goods and when someone is involved in an accident, if deemed to be avoidable, then the person who was driving the company vehicle is terminated and the company is responsible for damages.

I read there was a high pressure gas line under the ship.

Please 🙏 Keep Balt 🙏 and Thame in your Prayers and your thoughts and Hart,s.❤😮😢😮😊❤.

Enough corporate welfare, the insurance company should pay for the damage.

God speed!! God Bless families involved.

Working 24 hours a day .. how many different crews will that be ! It sounds like a recipe for more problems..

US news networks are always good for a laugh

I came to see bridge being removed. Nothing but talk as usual. What a waste of time.

Wow, 24 hours a day

I have no issue with the Feds giving money to clear the wreckage, but I think it should be paid back over time.

THAT'S WHAT INSURANCE IS FOR 😔

They are NOT working Easter Sunday. Work will RESUME on Monday April Fools day!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm. 1) The original bridge took 5 years to build! (1972-1977) 2) The Gordie Howe bridge currently under construction is $4-5 Billion! And I’m not sure it’s as long as this bridge!

The cost of removal & repairing of the bridge should fall on the owners of the ship and their Insurance! Same goes for lost wages of all workers effected.

Wes Moore seems like a competent governor- nice to see!

Need to be extremely careful how they cut this. One weight and centre of gravity miscalculation could cause fatalities.

getting the government involved going to have a massive delay, turn it over to private firm that will expedite the process

That governor really enjoys the camera. A LOT.

So 24 hours a day?

The crew still taking pictures😮

Can't we use a mechanism of multiple deflate-inflate 'balloons' to lift and shift the large iron frames away from the ship's route?

The lost worker's should be number one priority.

i Said it before and say it again they should really hire some proper big floating cranes from abroad. Its gonna take ages of cutting with only a 1000 Ton crane Lots of 5000-10k Cranes abroad. And one in the Carbbean even. And every cut is dangerous work. And several of the cranes involved are just land cranes parked on old barges wich makes stability and such not the easiest to calculate. And 10 tug boats ? can only see 2-5 on Marine traffic ais Data.

this sounds bad but will end up doing really good now they can make it many times taller which will allow bigger ships come in which in the long run will lower shiping cost but will take a vary long time

2:05 Why are we shown a blueprint drawing of the floor plan of a building with vc seats when it is a bridge design?

They would move along quicker if the press didn't interview every worker for about an hour and a half each day.

On the brighter side it created jobs to many for years

Amen brother be strong

2 workers should have been inside that truck that was on the bridge just to the right of the center of the bridge. It took me a few times watching the live camara feed from the weather camara that caught the whole event. If people will watch closely, you will see this truck I mention. This truck had flashing lights on its top, like a county utility truck. This truck was crushed by this steel that sandwiched the truck against the road just before it all fell into the water.

The mayor needs to stop amplifying the situation and making it a bigger issue than it is. It is nowhere near being a "critical port" for the "the nation". It is most definitely a Maryland problem that was caused by neglect and misappropriation of $$ to ignore having proper dolphin barriers around the footings. They have more protection for the power and communications poles next to the bridge than around the bridge itself. Gov Wes Moore and the state of Maryland are responsible.

Seeing those torches cutting away that beautiful metal is heartbreaking but they must do what they must do. Once they take their business to another port, it may not come back.

I pray for recovery of the 4 victims soon. I cannot imagine being their family and not having them recovered yet. I hope the debris can be removed and stabilized as soon as possible to make this possible. And I pray for all involved in recovery efforts and removal of debris to be safe and protected.

I’d rather put my tax payer dollars into this than send it to Ukraine or Israel, I said what I said

In addition to the Port of Baltimore, the eastern seaboard of the US is home to the Port of Savannah. Port of Virginia. Port of Charleston. Port of Jacksonville. Port of Portland. Cargoes and shipping will simply get redistributed. [2:04] The dollar cost of the 2020-21 United States Senate special election in Georgia cost as much. As the Pakleds of Lower Decks would have it: Red Alarm . . . Red Alarm.

So let me get this right. Their working 9-5?

Hey governor, how many hours of the day are they making assessments?

The shipping company has insurance, so they will pay. ??!!!

The paintwork appears in good condition for a 50 year old bridge.

They need to build peers made of steel reinforced concrete with big rock around it in front ,back and around the sides of the peers on the new bridge so a ship will hit the protective peers and not the bridge peers so this will never happen again.

Good luck with thes work and wat realy happen, God Bless all 🙏⚘️⚘️⚘️🙏

Time is not money.

Did he say, 24-24-24-hours a day? Where have I seen that swager before?

gov what about the roads?

Another sad day in history.Somebody definitely going to pay for this tradegy.

Exactly you right

First of all, should American Federal and State, plus Cities Authorities, all be looking into and reviewing All Marine (inland waters or coastal, even deep water too) Infrastructure defensives measures now? Not just bridge protection only, from commercial shipping vessels of all sizes colliding or impacting with either bridge? Or with all types of Marine (inland waters or coastal, even deep water too) Infrastructure straightaway now, from shipping canal or rivers lock-gates, or port cranes and dock-key-sides, or fixed and floating dry-docks toon. As well as all underwater laid cables and pipe networks, whether water pipes, or sewage pipes, gas pipes, oil and fuel pipes, or underwater telecommunication and fibre-optical data cables, or electric power cables, or underwater utility tunnels too. Or road, rail or foot passenger cycling bridges, including lifting bridges too, or underwater train and road orfoot passenger cyclist tunnels as well. Ports and Harbour breakwaters, piers, public and private slipways, yacht marinas, floating pontoons, ship repair and maintenance dockyards, water taxi and water bus or sightseeing boats, or party dinner cruise boats, loading and unloading terminals too. As well as all the different waterfront residential properties, or commercial waterfront properties, plus public open space waterfront areas too. As well as all kinds of water sports and leisure sailing, boating and canoeing, wind surfing paddle boarding, even public swimming and diving areas too. Then refuelling loading berths, or water loading berths, or sewage unloading berths, floating mooring buoy berths for Houseboats, or commercial barges, or any size of commercial or private vessels too. Then there all port, harbours, channels, navigation buoy’s, aids, lights, cameras, water / currents, tides, temperature, pollution, weather and atmosphere marine monitoring sensor buoy’s floating all over the place too. Even rivers and estuary’s, or inland waterways or Shipping canals, plus ports and harbour, as well as coastal marine wildlife and Waterfowl or Seabird and marine nature reservation areas, including mudflats and sandbars plus shadows that all need protecting to some degree too? This is not just about so called only protecting bridges, from commercial shipping vessels of all sizes, colliding or impacting with bridges only! Far too many narrow mind tunnel vision Politicians, at all Levels of Government now seem to think. Or the equally far too many news media reporter’s, or news presenters and news editors, as well as every social media bloggers, or everyone of social media too, including so called marine experts are talking about while real not knowing what they are talking about. That how this Baltimore Port Bridge Container Ship Marine Accident and Disaster, happen in the first place too, wrong decisions were taken by Port and Harbour, City, County, State and Federal Authorities. Also this was years ago, not months, or weeks ago, or even days ago when this Container Ship left the Container Terminal key-side either. That lead to this Marine Accident and Disaster happening, yes everyone will try to blame the Container Ship’s Captain and Crew, or the Pilots. Equally try and blame, the Ship’s Owners, or the Ship’s Operators, even the Ship’s country of registry officials too, or blame all of the above because they are just foreigners too! Though when the real blame game, actually really gets going in a big way, it has not started yet but it is surely coming sooner or later. That is between the Baltimore Port and Harbour Authorities or their insurance providers and lawyers, City of Baltimore Authorities or their insurance providers and lawyers too. Similarly with the neighbouring Counties to Baltimore Authorities or their insurance providers and lawyers too, or with Maryland State Authorities or their insurance providers and lawyers too, along with the US Government Federal Authorities or their insurance providers and lawyers too! Also with the NTSB maybe US Courts too, let alone with Ship’s Owners, or the Ship’s Operators, even the Ship’s country of registry officials too, plus the ship’s insurance providers and lawyers equally. Or the Ship’s Captain and Crew or their insurance providers and lawyers, or the Port and Harbour Pilots and their insurance providers plus association’s lawyers too. Not forgetting all the American Attorney (ambulance chasing lawyers) and their Law Firms now lining up to represent, the families of these killed road workers on the bridge. Similarly start legal claims in Court for Millions of Dollars in financial compensation, from everyone in sight more than likely too, The Blame Game, Will really Kick Off Big Time, publicly and everywhere too! So should not only the American Government, needs to start straightaway a major Public Review and Enquire. That is in to All Marine (inland waters or coastal, even deep water too) Infrastructure Protection and Defensives Measures straightaway now! Also the Canadian, Australian, British, New Zealand, South Korean, French, Indian, Germany, Japanese, Italian, Brazilian, Mexican, Dutch, Panamá, Danish, Egyptian, Spanish, Saudi Arabian, Norwegian, even the Chinese Governments. All starting their own Public Review and Enquire, that is in to All Marine (inland waters or coastal, even deep water too) Infrastructure Protection and Defensives Measures straightaway too! The issue of the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) black box, not recording vessels data, was it switched off by someone in the ship’s crew? The reason the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) black box, did not record anything, if there is a ship wide electrical blackout or outage. There is no data going to this Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) black box, from ship’s onboard navigation, propulsion, communications and steering, sensors and/or damage control systems too, there is simply no electric power. Even though the “VDR” black boxes, have their own independent emergency electric battery energy packs, in case of ship’s electric power fails or is lost! Which is shown by the fact, the Ship’s Bridge Voice Recorder (SBVR), or newer Ship’s Bridge Audio Visual Recorder (SBAVR) black boxes. Actually carried on recording what was going on the Ship’s Bridge, that is between the crew, the ship’s captain, Ship’s Engineer’s. Also with the Port of Baltimore Pilot, who all were on the bridge at the time, or were look outs on the Bridge Port and Starboard Wing Stations too, was still all being recorded and the NTSB has this recording now too!

How many hours a day?

I thought Justin Fields was traded to Pittsburgh,didn’t know that he became the Governor of Maryland.

Wow! That reporter is gorgeous!!!

China would have already started to rebuild while the USA still figures out what to do 😂

Why wasn't Brandenburg called in

God speed

Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 🥰 ☺ 👌.

Baltimore stwooooong!

What about poor men that lost there life working on the bridge

They didn't remove nothing. You could have seen barges carrying the debris ashore where another crane of equal capacity would unload it. This is a charade.

Serious metal recycling $.

24 god damn hours! You hear me!!!

AMEN 🙏 😊 ☺ 🙌 ❤ 🙏.

Look at all the arm chair engineers here 😂

America

Tunnel is more justified than bridge. Although it could hard to build.

Sounds like this is going to be pretty Expensive for the insurance company got that boat has or do you think they'll even pay for it they probably won't because then they'll have to do an investigation

Imagine the stress

Will someone get good money for scrap meal bridge .

The taxpayers shouldn’t foot the bill, the responsible people should!

It is strange that US services did not blame Russian hackers for everything. Russian hackers are blamed for all problems in the US

President Biden showed great leadership when he stepped up to the plate as fast as he did to get the ball rolling

Not a big deal for those guys who remove demolished bridges. For those who never worked a day in their lives,it probably looks like a big deal.

[1:57] "Crews carefully start removing first piece of twisted steel from collapsed Baltimore bridge" One rivet at a time; with a nail file. . . Anyway, the Francis Scott Key Bridge won't be rebuilt. It will be replaced with the Francis Scott Key Tunnel Triplex

Here we go with the strong and tough catchphrases again.. I hate that shit so much

🙏🙏🙏

*instead of slow and steady it's more like hurry the hell up so we can make money into our own pocket. don't worry, the bridge will take 20+ year with delay to build because Tax Payer is paying for it. Delay because they ran out of money and need to wait for Tax Payers.* 😂

If you ask me it should be mostly paid for buy the Company who owns the Ship 🚢. NO Questions

That governor loves a bit of camera time doesn't he.

Are there actually congressional Republicans who disagree with federal funds for reconstructing the bridge and ship channel?

Send sleepwalker Joe to enjoy this spectacle.

CNN doesn’t have this beat good work

if there was a way to capture all the hot air the politicians are spewing about the clean-up the job would already be half done, let's put the talking heads to bed and get with the work that needs to be done!

What if the crewmen on the ship, thought the concrete bar would help stop the ship? If the ship had mechanical trouble why did they not go back to the port? Why did they check all instrument on the ship ,before sailing off? If the ship is too old, get rid of it. First the airplanes now the ships. The men that work on these ships need to pass inspection first.

What about the poor people dead and in the water trapped? Unreal to me, absolute discuss.

Surely the army corps of engineers can construct a temporary bridge for medium weight traffic within a short span of time , rather than wait years for a new bridge to be planned and constructed

Get ready for increased pricing on goods all over the u.s

Everyone is always such an expert like stfu

Somebody's going to get hurt or killed using that little teeny tiny crane that's not even a medium duty crane has no business being in that Bridge Business

The Republicans are 100% correct. The shipping company is 10000000% responsible for this. They must be held accountable. Making all Americans financially responsible for a mistake they didn't commit is morally wrong

What about a liability assessment? The black smoke was due to a crash full astern. The stern was being moved by lateral channel currents caused by tidal flows. Maryland was to cheap to install dolphins around the vertical supports. There were two power trip outs close to each other. Was the engineer not paying attention or was there contaminated fuel? We have heard nothing from the crew including the master and chief engineer. Until then, we need to reserve judgement on who pays for this. Do we stick the US taxpayer with it or do we go after Loudes of London to get them to pay?

Why is the ship owner and the pilot and master not being charged. Also why are the American tax payers footing the bill. DEI ?

24 hours a day 😂
