Something suspended from a crane has the potential to swing in unpredictable directions when separated from a fixed anchor. Letting that beam drop straight into the water was the safest choice for the men in the basket.

It's common for car thieves to take stolen cars directly to containers at ports. There is a video on RU-vid about a Canadian guy who had a brand new Tacoma stolen and it was found at a port in a container

@1:10 the reason it's not rigged to a crane prior to them cutting that is what's called shock load. Crane operators avoid shock loads.

Sensationalism What stolen cars

Cars going over seas are often stolen cars being shipped, it's a huge problem.

Back in 1984, I bought a new SAAB 900. I was commuting between Boston and NYC every week. I put 40K miles in 1 year. In 1985, in NYC, it got stolen. When I reported it to the local police, they told me to not expect my car back, because it was probably already in a container going to Africa, or Middle East. I missed that car .... 👿😫🤬

Jeff - don't let the pedantic, rivet-counting nitpickers here deter you from these great videos. As a complete layman, I'm finding your content really informative. The sheer scale of this disaster and the clean-up operation are brought into sharp focus, thanks to your work.

The best way to remember is to understand how port and starboard got their names. Originally the rudder (or steering board) was located on the right side of a ship near the stern. As a result they had to moor the other side to the dock so they would not damage the steering board. Hence the left side became known as the port side and the right side became known as the steerboard side later becomming known as the starboard side.

Sparks and molten metal would compromise the rigging so they opted to drop it down with the rest of the debris.

Why would people assume that the containers were empty? Cargo ships move cargo, not empty containers.

"Is there any red port left in the bottle?" that is how I was taught sailing on the sea as a young kid.

The blue object filled with debri is a dumpster not a container. Obviously they crane lifted the dumpster on the Dali.

Man, you will be able to retire from these Dali videos! Great job Jeff! Keep ‘em coming

9:40 They ignored the sign "Do no moor to this bridge pylon". Thanks, we just don't get to see this stuff every day.

Kinda funny you should show the Supra. One sold at Mecum for $107,500 in Houston. Used to haul cars as a trucker. Many, many cars go by container. Who knows what was lost on Dali. Met a French guy who was buying '40's and early '50's Caddys, Olds etc., and shipping 'em to France. Another man buying up old Fiat 500's in Italy and bringing 'em here. Classic Mini's too, loaded sideways!! So who knows what was trashed? Of course, nothing worth the innocent lives lost. Nice video. 😊

Reminds me of an old sea captain. As weather would start turning rough, the captain would open his safe and pull out an old letter. He would sit and read it, and being filled with confidence would proceed to lead the crew through the storm. After many years of doing this the old captain died. The crew always wondered who the letter was from and what it said that gave the captain such confidence at the worst of times so they asked the first officer to read it at the funeral. The letter had one single line which read "Port is left, Starboard is right"

Jeff you are doing a GREAT job of keeping us informed about the "clean up". The pics are just awesome. Wish I could give you 10 thumbs up. Thanks for doing this.

Headline said stolen cars. He says nothing about stolen cars. Great way to start a vicious rumour.

Near my job in Kearny NJ, there is a company that ships damaged auction cars in shipp8ng containers. Many of our damaged and total loss vehicles are in fact going overseas

Thank you for admitting Starboard/port error. You get points for explaining that.

When I first saw the piers, i thought that they looked too small to support that much steel, but after seeing this video, I stand corrected. Those things are enormous!

Jeff, there is an IAA (auto salvage auction) site on the south-west approach to Francis Scott Key Bridge. So likely these are flood/crash damaged vehicles going to Sri Lanka, to be repaired over there. So they have a few extra dents now, could still be salvaged for parts, assuming general average doesn't make it not worth sending them now.

Excellent report, especially detailing the size of the debris, showing us just how daunting this salvage task is for these workers. It ain't no walk in the park for sure!

Yes, cars are often LEGALLY shipped in containers.

Jeff, from a 31-year retired Sailor - something that gnaws at me, so please forgive what seems like pettiness. Starboard is one syllabel - star-berd, don't pause in the middle, don't say board. Port used to be called larboard (same thing - one syllable - lar-berd) - they changed it to port due to confusions between larboard and starboard that would occur over early communication systems. Love this series - very informative - keep 'em coming. Be well, Doc

They want to get the ship re-floated as expeditiously as possible. Fooling with a single piece isn't worth the time it would take since there are already many tons of debris on the bottom.

Learn this ditty and you'll never forget: "There is no more RED PORT LEFT in the bottle."

Port wine is red. That is all you need to remember The light on the port side is red and the light on the starboard is green.

Marvellous never seen such a large piece fall into the water . Thanks for showing us this piece of history !

Thanks, these are great videos. Starboard comes from the stear board that was used on boats way back then. People would steer with the right hand. That board on the side of the boat would interfere with getting close to a dock so the other side would always be used for porting the boat.

Basic physics, an item at rest tends to stay at rest, the potential energy in the steel would rip apart anything that tried to catch it.

The debris that is in the water around the ship is still going to have to be dredged up. Allowing the cut piece of the bridge superstructure to fall into the water is a safety issue and less about the speed of clean up.

The way I remember the sides of a ship is to imagine a ship sailing south from England. The ports of France would be on your left, and the stars over the ocean would be on your right.

That's how I remember port, too. Four letters, just like left.

Great video Jeff. Thank you.

I always remember starboard is right because of the _arrrrr_ in star and “R”=right. 🤷‍♂️.

The easiest way to remember between port and starboard. Left has four letters. Port has four letters. So Port is the left side of the ship. It's easy to remember, Assuming one can remember what the bow and Stern is.

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

Thanks again for the update. Greg.😊.

( 2:01 Expediency in time)wonderful quote by the great master 🎉

I don’t know what your background is but “sparks” in welding aren’t scary or dangerous there standard in oxy fuel cutting

A way to remember "He LEFT the RED PORT wine on the dockside

Great work Jeff

Jeff, your video coverage and commentary are the best. For those of us who are fascinated by this but not knowledgeable about what is going on, your explanations are so much appreciated! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

My dad was a captain, He told me port is a 4 letter word and red is the same as port wine so port is left and red. Starboard gets whats left over

Thanks for sharing this very impressive scene of disaster.

Nicely done,,thanks for sharing 😊😊

Now we know what happens when an unmovable object meets unstoppable one

You don't catch things with a crane. Ever.

That blue open container is a dumpster. Looks to me as if it was placed there later as part of cleanup, some place for workers to put items that came out of containers.

Good one Jeff! Thanks for the update!

Fantastic... we have never been united like your country

What do you think will happen to the Dali once this is all said and done. Do you think it will be repaired and go back into service or do you think it will be turned into scrap metal?

The blue box is a 20 yard dumpster that they must brought out on a barge to help clean up the bow of the Dali ?

At 3:41, those little things scattered all around are the clips for holding the containers together, that's why the box they came out of has "Dali" written on it. Must have come from the forecastle. Just thought folks would like to know.

Thanks for making engineering fun!

Was told the easiest way to remember about port and starboard is "There is no RED PORT LEFT in the bottle.

Those empty cargo containers I mentioned the other day are good for something, stolen cars!

@2.52 Best way to remember..... The RED boat LEFT PORT.

Thank you for sharing.

Port (the drink) is red, and when you drink all the Port there is none LEFT. Port, red, left. (and drunk).

@9:19 the chain looks like ship anchor chain, I happen to own one link of such a chain, the one link weighs 148 pounds!

It would be interesting if any of those vehicles were stolen. I think about a ship traveling north up the east coast, so the port side is towards land with nothing but water and stars on the starboard side. Excellent coverage, Jeff!!!

I’m retired out of being a heavy duty diesel mechanic in the international mining business and I’ve worked daily around steel, big steel. That I-beam they cut the steel is probably 1 inch thick and 12 inch or bigger in dimension which means it probably weighs in at 10 tons or more. It’s a lot easier to just let it drop into the water then to rig it to another crane then have it swinging around in the wind at the end of a steel cable.

How many of these vehicles are stolen vehicles being shipped out of the country.

What was the point of this video?

3:06 "Port is always left on the table" was the mnemonic I learned back when I worked in a Chandlery. Also Port 🍷is red, so that helps with the light colour coding.🚦

Just started watching your commentary on the salvage operation of the MV Dali. One thing that struck me immediately was your remark about why don't they try to trap or capture the pieces as they are cut from the wreckage. I don't know your education, work history or salvage experience. I won't insult you for being ignorant, after all, ignorance is just a lack of knowledge. I started in the USN right after graduation from HS in 1978. I retired from Ford Motor Co just a couple of years ago. I've seen a lot of machines crash and been involved in repairs, teardowns and "salvage" above the water. Rule no. 1: gravity is predictable, it goes straight down unless acted upon by an outside force. Try to tie something you KNOW is going to fall and predict the moments of inertia as the mass falls free is still beyond supercomputers. Cut it free, let it fall, stay away and stay alive. Rule no. 2: Nothing will do what you think it will. I've seen many times a salvage or "demolition" operation didn't go as planned. Even when the lifting equipment may be calculated to handle the lifted load, the center of mass may not be where you think the center of gravity is. What happens next is scary $#!+. I've seen steel balconies 25Hx35wx30L flip over 130 degrees in multiple axis as soon as that final attachment is cut. Rule no 3: Every entanglement is an unpredictable outside force on gravity's natural straight down pull. Depending on the time domain of each attachment reaching it's max load, a new moment of inertia is put into play. Things will violently lurch one direction or another. I've also been very close to incidents where improper, insufficient, or unpredicted outcomes are left out of a pre-job briefing. That resulted in large pieces of metal traveling in unpredicted directions, and the job crew could only watch in horror as a man's neck was slashed open by an I beam and he bled out in seconds. Rule no.4". Ensure the area below is clear of personnel, rope it off, post a watch to ensure no one wanders in, cut it free and watch it fall straight down. It's always cheaper to pick it up later, than tell a mother her husband won't be home tonight.

What the heck! They shouldn’t just let that junk crash into the water!! 😮

All of you key board engineers should send in your resume I’m sure they would be dying to hire you with all of your experience and your engineering degree

Jeff your an amazing reporter, you are so detailed man! I could right a book on this! Lol

Thank you for these. It's sad that I live in Baltimore and this is where I have to come to get any information

I love the uneducated questioning why they let that piece fall. Do you not remember inertia from middle school science? Even the Chesapeake 1000 would struggle to safely capture that falling piece of steel. There are actual demolition engineers on this job- let them do their job without being second guessed by nobodies.

Another gem of a video

love your updates and your candor Good Job

FABULEUX TRAVAIL....COURAGE.. a gréât thank for all the people WHO ARE DOING THIS WORK..

Great shots. Great camera work.

Thanks again

The word _starboard_ derives from the old Germanic roots from which underlie the Scandinavian and Old English languages. The word _star_ is a vowel pronunciation or two from _steer_ (Eng) or _styr_ (Swe). As 90% of people are right handed, the rudder (ie steering board) was placed on the stern's right. The old term for the "left" side was _larboard_ or the lading (loading) side. To prevent the rudder from damage while loading or unloading, only the larbord side of the boat was used. Later, that still remained the side to load in port. Thus "port" was born.

The simpler way to remember that 'starboard' is from Steering Board and as most people are right handed, they would hang the steering board over the right side of the boat's stern.

Re: Nav lights. So the remark: "Red Right Returning"----If you see red on the right side of vessel ahead (This counts when visibility is poor), the vessel (Ship or aircraft) is coming toward you. Green means they are headed in same direction as you. Important because Nav Rules require a vessel to always pass up another on the right side if headed in the same direction (Starboard Side). Vessels have white stern lights but they are not always obvious for several reasons.

thanks great job jeff

Great close ups thanks. I like to remember the right side of the ship with the sound the word sta"R"board makes - "R" for right side. Lol.

The way I remember port or starboard is the phrase " Is there any PORT wine LEFT".

Brother Jeff ... Long time ago my dad and me took a US Coast guard small boat seamanship handling class.... And adding to your comment..... He said kind of the same thing.... (Port) (left) (red) short lettered words that go together....(starboard) ..(right) ...(green)..... Long lettered words.!!!!!! That's how they taught us. And I was watching your cabinetry video.... And I noticed if I drill a pilot hole the wood does not split.... But one time when the head of the screw came down because it was tapered and I didn't counter sink it split.... But even if you cut a counter sink with a special tool.... That tapered head still can push that would apart and crack it the trick is light pressure... Watching closely when that head first starts to make contact... And I noticed some heads have teeth on them to help cut and relieve pressure.... What I do is I back off on my trigger and let alone...... the torque to drive the screw increases and it comes to a natural stop... And then if need be open the pilot hole up ....up by the head slightly so it can't push on very much material and split... My dad taught me to explain myself cuz he was an engineer like you..... I thank God for you guys....TGBTG... To God be the glory.... I'm a machinist and I have some welding experience.... I love your videos... I wait in great anticipation for the next video.... Super macho stuff. Just think if you wanted to build a crane that was bigger than that .....all you need to do is want to do it bad enough and have the money and you got it. I wonder if that claw has a sheer attachment.

In 7th grade I remembered it the opposite way. The word "Starboard" was longer and so it matched the longer word "right". I'm dislexic. 😂

Good way to remember port vs starboard. It also goes for the light colors. Red for left/port has fewer letters than green for right/starboard.

Reasonable visuals. A healthy helping of exaggeration and some actual factual reporting mixed in

Idol !! Just remember Dali and Francis Scott key bridge in Baltimore MD

Wow! What a challenging and potentially dangerous situation and job! That was a huge hunk of steel, and the slo-mo of it splashing into the ‘drink’ was cool. Such a tangled up mess. Prayers are in order for those workers! This whole debacle of an accident was just unbelievable. Your coverage has been great and very informative Jeff. @ 02:54 Youre forgiven Jeff. 😆 A lot of people have trouble with that. Keep ‘em coming! Take care. 👍🇺🇸🙏😊

Port = red, left (short); Starboard = green, right (long). Just an added tip for those that aren't water savvy 😊

Thanks for the "port/left" tip. 😊

3:20 I find that the best way to remember which side is "port" and which side is "starboard" is to remember the that the word "posh" means "luxury", and it originally referred to accommodations on boats cruising from Britain to India or Egypt and back. The luxury accommodations were the ones that got shade on those ships, and POSH accommodations were "Port Out Starboard Home". The Mediterranean is in the northern hemisphere so the shady side of the ship was the one facing away from the equator, which was the ship's left when traveling from east to west (that is, the equator was on the right), and the ship's right when traveling east to west.

First thing popped in my mind was the Sopranos episode where the cars were being stolen and shipped overseas 😮

I enjoy your video's. You have a of great pictures. Thank you for the video 📸📸📸📸❤❤❤😊😊😊

Quickest way to remember left and right on a ship is "No Port left in the bottle".

At 6:15 that is a dumpster not a shipping container.

Thanks for pointing out the sense of scale - the two men in the basket vs the huge girder. What with the massive ship and the huge, huge bridge, its the scale of it all rhat i grapple with

Absolutely nothing in this video mentioned about any vehicle being STOLEN. HOW DID THEY ARRIVE AT THAT CONCLUSION. CLICKBATE
