Dale Pyatt Dredge working to remove road debris at Baltimore Bridge Collapse Site 

I Watched The Workers Who Are Out Of Work At A Food Pantry Today! I Pray That The Work Gets Done ASAP.They Need To. Return. Work. The Don't Stop Coming In.God Bless Them!!!

I really miss the squelch knob on these new radio's. I look forward to your videos everyday. Yours are by far the best. I knew those men were going to finish that 35 ft channel ahead of schedule and they did 6 days ahead. I hope they all got big bonuses because they deserved it. Please keep up these great videos. Thanks

Not only do they know what they are doing, but know what has to be done. Props to all of the crews working down there both on the river and at Sparrows Point! Theyve gotten a lot done in a month! Im local and never thought ships would be able to leave port this quickly

Thank God we still have this capability, we need heavy industry.

Man, that was a humongous piece of bridge! Love the way both operators worked together.

Our condolences to the families of those that perished. RIP.

Watching the Cashman Dredge gives us a true picture of the often very arduous job this is. He is grabbing completely mangled pieces of steel and asphalt. Nothing he is attempting to dislodge is uniform and attaches itself to anything it can. I have been watching the construction of the Gordie Howe International Bridge. The Gordie Howe Bridge gives us picture of what these men face. The girders and beams as they've attached each piece on that bridge. The size of each and precision work involved. These men and women are attempting to dislodge each piece of debris that they can't see. Thank you for the content you bring. I have a tendency to lose my patience, until I am reminded of just how difficult this job is. That is what your content does.

You've been providing a great service that the drive by media isn't. A lot of the commenters don't understand the large safety zone, and need to use big lenses to get these shots. After watching your Golden Ray coverage, I was hoping you would do this, and it's excellent.

The big lift cranes get more glory, but this pair has moved barges full of debris, steadily.

Cashman is bringing in the cash! Hard earned and well deserved! Owning, managing, and the expenses on this scale is no Sunday picnic. Thanks again Minorcan!

God bless these guys. They are true professionals 😎

Fine job Andy despite what Joe says. Thanks!

Most of this video is Pyatt's operator rassling with a huge submerged beam, tearing it away from the pavement it's fastened to. He finally gets it mostly loose at 10:30, and brings it to the surface, but some pavement material is still hanging on. He keeps rassling to break it loose from the remaining material, and finally swings it to the barge. Great sequence showing how hard this is!

Wow, that passing boat really puts everything into scale. And That boat is yacht size to boot.

American people working together. Like it should be.

I was impressed by use of the old, old techique of "drop a rock on it". Old ways are sometimes best ways.

The machines can't do anything without a skilled operator. These operators must be the best in the world!

I saw that clamshell bucket sitting on the dock last Sunday it was near a smaller 4 wheeled dock crane you don't realize how big that bucket is I bet it could easily pick up 2 of those cranes at once I bet it was atleast 60 feet tall an amazing piece of equipment

Always very impressive to watch the operator maneuver those Large clam buckets!!!

Tedious n time consuming work but where would we be without heavy equipment and the operators who know what they’re doing!! Good jobs everyone!!

Thank you for showing some of the dredging work that is happening.

Really enjoying your videos, especially this one where I get to lean on the railing and gawk at the work happening in all its majestic gradualness.

Great footage.......love these two

Excellent video, looks like things are cleaning up faster than expected there .

Thanks Captain Andy.

I saw a picture where two men were working under the bridge roadway before it collapsed. Could the two remaining men be under the roadway, and that is the reason they aren't found as of yet! Also thank you for giving us the public to be able see the operation of removing all the Debree.

The drop ball would slow down on hitting water .would it not be better to have pointed ball weight to generate faster speed of ball in the water to hit the submerged road surface .

Fantastic job guys, so interesting ❤ from a Aussie.

Stuff like this Amazes me, this guy's know exactly what they are doing 👍👍👍

Excellent video Andy. Thank you.

I was on the edge of my seat …

Fascinating, thank you

It’s like watching an Ant eat an Elephant!

Hi there. yesterday the cashman lifted up a huge girder. caroline

good info and video, thanks

When does "The Claw!" from Texas debut? The 1000ton Hydraulic Grabber was shipped in on a barge and they maybe waiting on rigging item's.

Not sure to understand how exactly they are getting things done but seems highly professional and great to see. Thank

Great video!!!❤❤❤

Audio from the Dali video from the other side of the river...well done.

Hey Capt. Andy, your recorded vids are much better quality than your live streams I guess your location has a very cruddy cell connection

The Cashman clamshell is very difficult to operate. It takes extremely good, repetitive coordination. Modern equipment makes it easier but it is still not easy. You have 2 spools of wire to control. One opens and closes the clamshell. The other lowers and raises the clamshell. if you don't do it together, the clamshell closes while you are dropping it to dig. Or the clamshell opens while you are raising the clamshell and dumps whatever you just grabbed. There are 2 spools of wire that you should keep properly wound up tight. You do not want a birds nest of wire on a spool or crossed wires that can damage the wires and spool when lifting. You have a brake on each wire to control as well. And you have swing levers (likely now joysticks). I am not being critical. I have great admiration for the operators. The operator of the Cashman clamshell is very good. But, when you grab something as big and awkward as the girder, it is like the dog that caught the car. "Ok, dog. Now that you caught the car, what are you going to do with it?? Hummm??" Dog, -- while holding it very tight in its teeth, "I'm going to let go very, very, VERY gently once I know where to put it."

Amazing that they can even see what they are pulling up. More daunting of a task than the Pearl Harbor salvage operation.

True workhorse of the endevor. We've seen them fill up barge after barge of this stuff.

You have incredible access and footage. Please think about editing things down, either telescoping or by subject.

Can the drone view the salvaged materials on the barge here or at the recycling yard ? The girders under the roadway probably remain intact ?

Have all the maintenance/construction vheicles been located or removed yet? If they have and the missing 2 were not in them, then they are going to be a lot tougher to locate. If there was a strong current that night, they may have washed a long distance away from the debris.

Slow week........after the big lift, these two boys were about the only guys working and getting anything done.......I await a comment from Sam

great

Any word on when they're going to start using that other big grab they barged in?

If they had some kind of huge cutters working parallel with the water surface maybe that would help. Looks like a big chunk of roadway was lifted out

How about a slow pan of the cranes and other rigs and tugs on the site with info on where their home port is, the capacity of the cranes, hp of tugs (the triple stack aqua house tug is indeed triple screw 6,000 hp, saw it last week) We keep hearing about the 1,000 ton, which is interesting, but how about details like what the other rigs are doing, the cubic yards of the clamshell bucket the Cashman dredge is swinging, the capacity of it’s huge short boom - wide for lots of lateral load, the weight of the headache ball they are breaking up the roadway with, the truck tire above it is a shock absorber for lifting the ball. I like equipment details. Thanks, enjoy your feed.

Well, Captain there has been some discussion on the YTs comment section. And we were wondering about an estimate on the lifting capacity of Cashman's Dale Pyatt. It isn't listed on the specification sheet, but it seems like a stout little crane. any opinion/insight? thanks for the video!

Wow

Wish you were closer.

Wonder how deep the water is where they’re working??

That scoop is nearly the size of the little boats that keep going past! Is that the giant claws we saw last week, or one size smaller.

In cartoons, crane operators swing the giant iron headache ball all around. But it is mostly dropped straight down. It is too uncertain to swing it around. One bad miss could topple a crane.

It doesn't look like it is that far below the water. I am guessing it must be a good size debris pile

I can't see where the dredge has brought up anything and put it on a bardge. Seems like it keeps dropping in back down.

Do you know how deep the water is where they are dropping the ball?

How does the crane with wrecking ball keep from spooning the reel

any reason as 2 y the job is about 2 miles away can we not get closer,or is some jobs worth getting in the way

Can you enable time stamps on your camera?

when are Thay going to get the bridge off the ship??

thats the one. caroline

When are we gonna see that "Giant Claw" they showed us ??? In action actually doing something

QQQ did they find all the bodies of the workes??

😊😊

We're lucky to have these crews but every major US harbor should have a Navy construction unit equipped and ready to clear blockage. Remember this proves it only takes ONE blockship to shut down this harbor and the next one could arrive tomorrow with an IED inside a container on the bottom of a stack. Blockships are an idea thousands of years old because they work, and our enemies do take notice. So do enemies of our allies whose harbors are also vulnerable. Truck bombs and drones are a drop in the bucket compared to the economic damage coordinated block ships can cause and the US is not ready.

Why not leave your camera on all day so we can tune in whenever we want to see what’s going on

Why are they not using Lidar technology to see the bottom of the channel?

Government will ahve the shipping channel open in 5 months, real men will have it open in a Week....!

why is no closeups of the work? My camera can take pictures of the moon craters.

Day 34 still no answers to reasonable questions on why/who is responsible for this catastrophic yet very preventable incident if all federal laws, mandatory safety regulations and protocall were followed. Who was responsible for greenlighting the Dali as seaworthy when it's electrical problems were not resolved while docked? Ok'd for a 27 day voyage to SriLanka halfway around the globe yet couldn't make it out of Baltimore? 6 innocent lives lost and yet we don't have any factual and honest answers. Why?

Why the hatchman keep scooping and dumping in the same place instead of loading the debris on the barge ? Not questioning just that I am intrigued 😮

why not use the navy trained dolphins to locate the last 2 workers

Yes they cuss, just missed it. Fawk!

This strikes me as odd. Clear is the wrecking ball, dropping to the splash of the surface, presumably rendering big bits to smaller, flatter bits undersurface. Not at all clear what the dredge is doing. Appears as if detritus is being picked up, and then just dropped again. Can’t tell from this view at least, there is any intelligent plan to what is being done with the claw.

They’re just shuffling th debris to the side? Money ,money, MoneyBaltimore screwed right in front of you. Dockworker I guess you can pick up a camera and film as well😮😮

Hard to believe the environmentalist haven’t stuck their noses into this project lol

look like they not sure what they are doing

I didn’t see any thing brought up ! Did see the other crane drop a dummy chunk repeatedly into the water , yaw paying for this chit ? L.o.l.

Sorry but your video didn't show much

bore................Bore....................BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MAN, COME ON BUDDY! YOU SHOULD HAVE LET THIS FINISH THE LIFT AND DUMP OR STACK ? YOU SHOULD HAVE LET IT FINISH BUDDY! THANKS ANYWAY, YOU HAVE A GREAT CHANNEL, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! BUT SOMETIMES THATS ALL IT IS, TIME!

JUST LOOK HOW OFFSET THE WIEGHT IS ON THIS HUGE PIECE OF METAL AND CONCRETE, YET IT DOES NOT EVEN MATTER WITH THIS BEAST! UNBELIEVABLE! ITS NOT EVEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE! NORMALLY IT WOULD TAKE A CLAW OR CRAIN GRABBING EACH SIDE, BUT NOT WITH THIS MONSTER! IF YOU DIDNT REALIZE IT YOU DO NOW!

Vital care must be taken to avoid contact with gas lines using the wrecking ball and the clam dredge. Always caution for the vehicles with victims anywhere near the debris to be removed. 🇺🇸⚓️

The Title should say the name of the bridge . it is not the Baltimore Bridge

If you get the opportunity, and I'm sure you'll make the effort, I'd like to see how that giant grabber gets hooked up to chessie and how it works. I'm surprised it is going to be hooked up to the chessie 1000 since it is a "stiff leg boom" barge and not a pivoting crane setup.⛓🔩⚒
