Yachts Explosion Caught on Camera | BALTIMORE: FBI Boards MV Dali | SY News Ep320 

Me: Occums Duct tape type of person. 😂😉

What is the modern version of that? Never attribute to stupidity what can possibly be explained by a tortured and paranoid conspiracy theory?

Or negligence..

@@TesterAnimal1 😂😂😂

Also, "Never let a good crisis go to waste".

The bridge invasion theory came directly from Truth Social website.

​@@RottingboardsRemember these are the same people that thought they were actually sailors...then came the "trump flotilla". Maybe they didn't grasp the concept of "float".

The FBI is conducting this investigation to make sure the vessel was equiped with properly desginated rest room facilities (men, women & either).

@@aday1637 The FBI is to busy with real crimes like Jan 6th a$$ wipes.

And for HIllary's emails.

All accidents are preventable!

@@kevc6115 Chaos and randomness make that statement false. Or maybe you consider yourself omnipotent?

@@TheGhungFu sorry but I stand by my statement! Chaos and randomness mean nothing.

@@kevc6115 Remember that as you watch the huge rock roll down hill toward you.

@@ronbelanger4113 If I choose to be in a place where a rock may fall on me, then that is a calculated risk I have taken. If you're talking about a rock that may fall in a road that I am driving by, then the engineers took a calculated risk to put the road there.

The invading artesian ships need a lot of room due to the amount of water they have to carry.

Personally, if I was going to invade the US I would try to come through Canada or Mexico, the Port of Baltimore would be kinda far down on the list.

@@frednone Yeah whoever came up with that theory obviously never been to Baltimore, Iran wouldn't even invade Baltimore... 🤣 Not to mention, anyone trying to reach Baltimore harbor would have to sail right past Naval Station Norfolk and the Atlantic Fleet (plus a fighter base). Not the best tactic, especially for a meager target.

Also no one but the US really has a large expeditionary military that could invade us. They don’t have the logistics set up to operate for long periods of time away from their home region.

Yes, but as an attack on the economy, it works. Many conspiracies (plans) are carried out these days, it's normal the think about the motives (theorise) about such events. Any history book is full of them, cover to cover.

Trump did this.

I suppose you want the FSB. 😐

Still waiting to hear the result of their investigation into Epstein's island.

Hahahaha!!!

Yeah, they will find Donald Trump was at the helm at the time it hit the bridge.

Yes, fuel can cause such explosions if it is not allowed to settle after fully filling tanks, or an air vent is blocked.. Gas leaks from onboard gas cookers can also cause explosions.. Possibly no fire as the onboard automatic fire retardant system kicked in..?

I wonder if the scrap will be sent to China like the scrap from the twin towers?

I think 44 million is very low. I would think 100's of million's but they will get off paying 44 and the tax payer(s) will get to cover the rest.

@@72hourbob61 I d recall years ago that in Asia they pay in excess of 100 million to scrap them and thats without containers with goods in them.

They and their insurers are on the hook for BILLIONS. The ship itself is a pittance. They are also screwing their customers, the owners of the containers of cargo.

last port upgrade the port authority looked at installing dolphins, but decided it was to expensive.

Such large ship were not dreamt about in the 1970’s when it was built. Sure there should have been remediation with the building of dolphins more recently.

@@Electric_Automationto expensive to what? If you write *too expensive then we might know what you mean.

And the cost should've been borne by the companies that supervised these behemoths purely for their own profit. This should be a cost of doing business for them.​ @@teeanahera8949

The structural reason for this disaster is our notoriously unsafe infrastructure. If people would stop voting their emotions and electing guys like trump, who blab about non-existent "infrastructure weeks", we could've addressed this long ago. At least now, infrastructure isn't a week, it's a policy with funding. Thanks to the voters that made it happen!

Thanks you!

as soon as I saw the letters FBI I immediately thought " incompetence"

@@tyronetrump1612 'Famous But Incompetent' I was always told.

exactly when the FBI is involved they are cleaning up their most recent false flag event. FBI stands for lying cheating and murder

And never mind that the Bay Bridge usually has slightly less clearance than the FSK had, and you'd have to pass under it first.

Exactly what I was thinking......A ruptured hydraulic hose under high pressure could spray vaporized hydraulic oil everywhere.

Yes, some of them are hydraulic and some are electric. With an explosion like that, I'm thinking hydraulic line rupture hit an ignition source.

@@rgarito That was my 1st guess also.

Plus, an electric motor itself has no way to explode no matter how much it heats up, at worst it might shatter. Something else like batteries or fuel vapor had to be involved. (Maybe they could have had fuel stored right up next to the thruster motor and had vaporized it from the heat, but I don't think anyone would ever design a boat like that.)

...hence the black smoke ?

This theory makes the most sense!

They did not pay the port charges and the harbour master cut the power.

Not knowing anything about it, it sounds good. But who knows, no matter the truth they will tell us what ever they want us to believe.

​@@joelmartin2549They'll announce the results of their investigation...and a bunch of uneducated and over-emotional Americans will immediately run in every possible direction except straight ahead. It will be entertaining and stupid all at once. And not surprising. In fact, one of the earliest and dumbest comments came from, you guessed it, truth social. 'Nuf said?

YES that was the first thing I thought also. Possibly storage of a gas can ( tank) for tender, "O" there is room in here to store it to get it off the desk. It would be interesting to see what hatches the vessel had on the bow.

the remote access your talking about is read only access, normally a separate computer with no control functions.

@@Electric_Automation it’s not for all systems. I’ve worked with them. They can make live changes.

The hull beam is about 41m not 78m of the Gerald Ford. The flight deck is obviously 78m.

A few problems with your logic here. Boats don’t use gas because of its volatility. BBQs are always outside on the deck. It is not true that gas is always heavier than air. Air is a gas. Helium is a gas but is NOT heavier than air, so ditch that myth. Next, “boats are air tight”, seriously? Show me a boat that does not have a hatch open at dock. They have hatches, windows, fans with extractors, engine room evacuation fans, etc so that’s just a highly uneducated thing to say. Boats builders take a lot of care to overcome the problem of non flammable gases like CO2 lying in the lower parts of the boat. Your hypothesis holds no water.

our galley has a gas stove, propane tank in an aft locker. We shut the gas off whenever we are not using it.

@@teeanahera8949 ok well you should probably do more research. My boat had gas on it I replaced it with a diesel heater and an alcohol stove and induction after reading marine accident investigation reports about boats exploding because gas is heavier than air sinks in to the bilges where it cant escape (ie air tight) then a spark causes the boat to explode. My marine surveyor recommended I change to alcohol for this reason shes seen several boats blown up in this way during work for insurance companies. Its surprisingly common theres a boat in my class that it happened too, thats why boats have separate gas lockers that vent overboard, lots of boats have bilge blowers installed and need to have the bilges regularly purged of gas. Have a look at the accident report for the Lord Trenchard and the YBW crash test boat explosion and Lunatoo was a seadog 30 that got blown up in a gas explosion. Thats off the top of my head, but clearly you know best so believe what ever you like.

@@teeanahera8949 “Few problems with your logic here.” Boats do use gas, my boat had gas on it, I know dozens of boats that have gas on them. Your BBQ gas shouldn’t be kept on deck where it’s exposed to the elements and leaving big rusty rings on deck it should be stored in a gas locker that vents overboard. Obviously we are not talking about helium because boats don’t routinely carry helium were talking about Butane or Propane that are carried on boats for cooking and are heavier than air, but you know that because you said gas is too volatile to carry on a boat, then immediately jump to Helium as an example of a gas but its an inert gas and non-flammable, not at all volatile, so your even contradicting your self. “So ditch that myth” Next, for the purposes of a heavier than air gas, boats are air tight, see a heavier than air gas can only escape by going down, if gas can escape by going down then its a good bet water can enter by going up, if that’s the case then your not looking at a boat. Thats before we get to water tight compartments and crash lockers, that can be made completely air tight. Also the reason they have all the blowers and fans you mentioned is to purge the bilges of the heavier than air flammable gasses that you claim don’t exist “so thats just a highly uneducated thing to say” and “so your hypothesis holds no water” In addition to that I removed gas from my boat on the advice of my surveyor who has attended several boats (for insurance companies) that have been blown up and written off by gas building up in the bilges, so your wrong. You could look at the Marine accident investigation report in to the explosion aboard the Lord Trenchard, or any of the 18 similar incidents in the UK in the last 10 years reported to the MAIB. That will all tell you, your wrong. You could look at S/V Lunatoo a seadog 30 recently rebuilt after a gas explosion blew the deck off, (proving your wrong). Or you could watch the videos of the YBW crash test boat being blown up by a gas leak onboard (again proving you wrong). Before you go calling anyone else uneducated can I suggest you get your own house in order? People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

or maybe the truster battery leaked gas that ignited

My Sleipner bow thruster also got stuck on so I slightly damaged another boat. There was no manual switch so I had to disconnect the cable with a few hundred amps running through, not a pleasant experience. After that I installed a disconnect switch with wired remote control so I can quickly cut the power from the helms.

@@oz2pe That sounds like a likely explanation.

And you…if anyone knows what an arse is…..

Either blowing out the engine, or the generator(s) were making black smoke. They are about 4MW each, about the size of a locomotive engine.

Yea, if you cross the Chesapeake Bay bridge tunnel system, so many times I see the navy practicing take offs & landings on aircraft carriers.. really cool area, always fun around Virginia Beach.

@@jenniferanne4143 i've lived here my whole life and actually saw a couple A-10 warthogs fly right over my house like 3 weeks ago

Re: Electrical Issues: Whether they left with known electrical issue will be determined by investigation. RE: Tugboats: it is not usual procedure in that port to escort vessels through the bridge. That “operating procedure” may change when a new bridge is built here and with other existing bridges nationwide in the future.

Your welcome

They always wait till after an accident to put preventative measures in place. After the Exxon Valdez tugs had to escort tankers through Prince William Sound. It would have been a lot cheaper if they had them before the spill.

The tugs can't babysit every ship for its entire journey. Their purpose is primarily to get them in/out of dock. The Dali was on a straight path and the tugs were going to their next ship to escort. According to every video I've ever seen from tugboat captains, there aren't enough people to fully man the tugs they have, so trying to get _more_ tugs isn't a feasible option. The problem here really exposed the weakness of the pathetic protection the Key bridge had. They could have improved the protections over a 50 year time span, but never did. There was literally _one_ dolphin (pillar in the water) to protect the bridge from that side.

@@grondhero, they never had the money to spare to protect the bridge, they needed it for their pet projects, most recently The get Russia project more commonly known as the Ukraine war.
