There was a tornado not too far from where I live that destroyed an entire neighborhood including a house where the owner had just baked a cake. She put it on a cake stand to cool and then left to run some errands. When she got back, her entire house was gone, but that cake, the cake stand, and the cabinet she'd sat it on were still perfectly intact. That cone reminds me of that cake.

@blairhoughton7918 26 дней назад

That did not go the way I expected it to. They left the low end of the girder intact, and it looks like that obstructed the detached pieces from falling farther away from the ship. Some pieces hit the bottom and slid down the hull. So they likely have more work to do to get the iron away from there to get Dali free.

Sal, I was watching the army corps of engineers general on the AP channel yesterday. They did flood the first two compartments with 10,000 tons of water. This is so the ship would not move because the bridge structure is estimated at 4,000 tons so they wanted Ensure that there was no movement when they blew the bridge

Staying to the side and letting the work get done is about the best we could of hoped for and it seems to be working.

Having worked in ship construction and been through many disasters from what I have seen normally something like this would have had sea traffic fully flowing in less than a week and the whole thing would have been clear by now. I don't know if it's a lack of resources, location, coordination, or ??? why it's taking so long.

@@_droid I'm not sure I follow. There hasn't been a bridge collapse of this magnitude In modern history to even compare to? I know of a few bridge disasters that took more lives, a few that took out larger Bridges, but nothing on the scale of a 2-mile roadway being dropped across every single channel for a major port. If they pull it off, they will have completely restored the channel access to the port within 60 days. And they had limited access long before that. Heck, the house that burned at the end of my street a year ago still hasn't been fixed by the contractors. I'm just surprised anything is done these days and anything less than a year.

Yes, noticed that this morning on another video I watched after I watched Captain Andy’s footage. I had to pause and go back to confirm what I’d seen- really gives you perspective to see 4 lanes of highway laying across the bow of a ship to realize how really massive modern container ships must be and how much business would normally be flowing through the port of Baltimore.

@GilmerJohn 25 дней назад

Well, some years ago it was decided to use explosives to take out a dam just up river from Fredericksburg, VA. It was a concrete structure. It was to be removed both to "restore the river" and because the structure was "deteriorating." After the smoke cleared from the blast the bridge was still intact. The second time was the charm in this case.

@donkauke2372 25 дней назад

Hi Sal, I saw an interview with an Army spokesperson shortly after the detonation. He reported that additional water ballast had been added to the bow so that Dali would be less likely to move without the weight of the truss. He also stated that they wanted to remove the material that could be holding Dali so that she could be moved onto port and then remove the debris on the bow with equipment there. I don’t know the name of the Army person but it was on an interview on RU-vid. Earlier views from Capt. Andy showed that all the windows of the ship’s bridge were covered with plywood…easier than replacing lots of glass. Thank you for all of your coverages of marine content.

In terms of economic damage, a bigger issue for Baltimore than the potential loss of shipping traffic is the loss of a heavily trafficked major bridge that will take an eternity to replace.

@ktrimbach5771 26 дней назад

There is the other half of the beltway, plus two harbor tunnels that are still fully functional. The Key bridge was never meant to be a major road. It was only supposed to be an alternate route for hazardous materials that weren’t allowed through the tunnels. And that was even before they built the I-95 tunnel.

@Nmdixon-cu7vm 24 дня назад

@@ktrimbach5771wrong. It is a major route for people like myself who live on one side of the bridge and work on the other side. My commute used to be18 miles and now it’s 24 miles, which isn’t a big change, but now it takes me an hour to get to work instead of 20 minutes. Think about an Amazon employee who lives in Curtis Bay and has to drive all the way up and over and then back down to the other side of the shore when they used to have a 5 mile trip. On top of that is now the increase of accidents that occur because of bumper to bumper traffic and those hazmat trucks now have to go all the way around the west side of 695 to get back to 95 when going the other way over the key bridge is a shorter distance back to 95.

In both instances, the terrible scenes of death and destruction, and the importance of clearing up the wreckage, and finding the bodies of those who were killed. One remembers as well, the constant air raids on London during the war, and the resulting death and destruction. The London Fire Brigade faced these grim events on a daily basis.
