Key Bridge Road Is Off Dali Ship, NOW WHAT? 

there is another video of the collision from a bystander. you can see the pillar cap fall onto the ship along with the closest pillar. the farthest pillar was pulverized.

Guess deadrise privated his photos; This content isn't available right now When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

I am wondering why they don't offload the containers? is this because they would need to pay for demurrage if the containers are in the harbour?

​@p6x2 some major legal issues will need to be answered. The M/V Dali is foreign flagged. US cabotage law, i.e. the Jones Act, prevent the Dali from transporting cargo from US port to US port. If there are containers that were loaded in a US port, landing them ashore would be a violation and the Dali could be seized. They may be waiting to remove the weight from the bow for strength and stability reasons. Bob

@@robertlevine2152 Thanks! Aren't there a Foreign Trade Zone in Baltimore? My company used to have equipment stored in such areas (not in the USA), paying import duty only if required on a job. I thought maybe something similar could be done for those containers.

I think that ship is too new to scrap

I'm guessing this ship will be decommissioned. Engine, generator, and possibly other electrical equipment issues.

When a bridge collapses like it did here, the steel can be under tension or compression, because it's twisted, deformed, and stretched, it is very likely a hazard to anyone on the cleanup/disassembly. Especially when it's big steel beams, trusses, etc. the water Definitely doesn't help, as that adds more hazards

It’s got to be getting old for them, it’s tough having to wear all that PPE. Thankfully we’ve had a relatively cool spring.

Those ones are probably SEVERAL cubic yards or meters.

Called a "Super Sack" where I work. Billy Mays could do an epic infomercial on these things. Lots of different material can be moved and located with precision with these.

thanks i was biting my tongue .

Local here. I drive that tunnel daily and if you take the seagirt exit you can drive right by the stern of the ship. I’m talking 50 ft from it. Not sure if you can get close to the bow as it’s obviously fenced in and guarded. I was just trying to turn around when I figured this out going to shake shack after work 😂

Probably because nobody gives a Norkolk about how it is pronounced... 😂😂😂

My friend from the south east just to sing a song about Norfolk pronunciation. "We don't drink and we don't smoke, Norfolk, Norfolk".

Locality over the written eneglish. Wins every time

And they have a crane that will lift half a million tons take one of those bags at a time. I wonder how much a day that huge crane charges? They are just milking this job for all it is worth.

Factually, it wasn't there "next week." That comment was made on March 20, 2020 and the ship didn't arrive until 10 days later. It also didn't do much after it finally got there, serving only 20 patients with it's 1,000-bed facility in it's first day of service in which it refused to take any COVID patients. This is what happens when you fly off the handle and do things without planning. Had someone actually talked to the people in charge of the ship, they could have saved the diesel fuel and sent reservists to help in underserved skilled nursing facilities as USS Mercy did AFTER she left port. The U. S. Naval Institute reports that USS Comfort only treated 182 patients during the entire time it was there. USS Mercy didn't do much better. It served only 77 patients while in port. You can check the timeline for the USS Comfort from the Business Insider article of April 26, 2020 entitled "How USNS Comfort went from a symbol of hope with the president's blessing, to heading back from NYC having treated fewer than 180 patients," by Ashley Collman.

USNS Comfort and Mercy. They are part of Military Sealift Command manned by civilian crew and military detachment for operations. Military medical personnel are embarked when deployed.

They used a wrecking ball to break up more of the 4 lane street still attached tot he bridge truss to help loosen it from the mud

Low priority. Loading and unloading containers is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Everything must be balanced forward to back and port to starboard. Probably not going to unload anything until the debris has been removed.

Over 150 containers were removed, to improve trim prior to the ship being moved to the current site. It was a slow process. Many more will now be removed with greater efficiency.

I doubt they want Dali tying up the loading capacity at the port until the debris is off. The contents of a lot of those containers has likely been written off by insurance already. Once the bow is clear of debris, they will likely pull her forward, unload, then move her to Norfolk.

@@kstricl already taking up that space. notice the cranes sitting idle fore and aft of the ship ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tEcVmPTSQNs.html

It wasn't fake since it was announced March 17th and arrived at NYC on March 30th. By the end of April it had treated 126 people. Be careful you don't automatically assume someone saying something is fake is telling you the truth.

Here's the context: On March 20th 2020, Rachel Maddow said President Trump's claim that hospital ships would be sent to both the east and west coasts by the next was "nonsense." The USNS Mercy was deployed to Los Angeles and arrived later that weekend, while the USNS Comfort pulled into New York Harbor 10 days after her broadcast. Seems like FAKE news to me. Further, Rachel Maddow lost all credibility from me when she only talked about "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax for two years on her program, delegitimizing any legitimate attempt Trump made at governing. As it turns out, the Mueller report found that there was no sufficient evidence to establish that Trump, or his campaign, conspired with the Russian government. Again, spreading more lies. And lastly, let's never forget Rachel Maddow's infamous claim, in regard to the COVID-19 vaccine: "instead of the virus being able to hop from person to person potentially mutating, now we know that the vaccines work well enough that the virus stops with every vaccinated person. When a vaccinated person gets exposed to the virus, the virus does not infect them, the virus CANNOT then use that person to go anywhere else." This is a woman who perpetually lies, and regardless of your politics and who you vote for, she should be called out for what she is: a fake news reporter!

Because they need them for ballast to get under a bridge on the way to Norfolk. and they don't want the expense of cleaning any more water from the ballast tanks than necessary. like they have when they refloated it.

I made a comment early on in all this that I thought the ship Pilot or Capt may have balked at passing under the bridge cuz of possible const workers on a gantry under the bridge (remember all the flashing lights up there at the time?). Jeff: what is the EXACT proceedure when a large ship leaves a port & passes under bridges, etc (esp draw bridges!). As I said b4, there was an incident that occurred at the Verrazzano Br years ago because of a lack of coordination between a construction crew on the VZ bridge & a fuel barge passing beneath it at the time (welding/cutting torch sparks: BLAMO!). I know oversize loads on hwys must have permits & route plans to move about (esp when hwys have const projects planned). Wld be interested to know. Keep up the gr8 work, Jeff. Btw, wldn't the Minorcan Mullets' "air support" still be the Navy, & not the Air Force? Just a thought😊.

We don't know what their plan is yet, they might want to remove all the crash debris prior to removing containers

I caught that too. You must be from balmer!

Love that!

Maybe if you live in Sri Lanka or India. Those containers were headed overseas!😂😂

I am not sure person would routinely use them in their lives. In my 25 years of owning a house in Canada, I never had to get garbage removal bag or bin myself. If needed, contractors come with their own stuff, and I do not even look how they transport what they need to transport. If people do renovations with lots of debris to haul out later, they usually hire a large metal bin, which a truck will later haul away, though I saw plastic bins as well.

They have not said what is going on

The CBS Miami story mentions a webinar by WJE, Associates. I found it on the NCSEA Education Portal, titled "05.21.2024 | Champlain Towers South - WJE Collapse Investigation". The cost to purchase it is $250 - $300. It was published on 5/21/2024.

A 64-minute webinar entitled "Champlain Towers South (Surfside, FL) Collapse Investigation" is available free on the WJE website. I think it was posted on 5/28/2024.

This is a repeat of the presentation that gave a year ago and I covered this in June 2023 through Sept 2023. I think the news station was wrong about this being new info, same exact conference call I sat on a year ago
