Moving 3 at a time, seems like a great idea until you realise it takes four times longer to move them than one at a time ! Containers don’t have inter locks, they have to be fixed together to move them like that.
The twist locks incorporate a lever which facilitates separation between the containers. No cutting necessary unless, perhaps, one of the locks is damaged beyond functionality.
Some mention was using exothermic or burning bars. I have used them above the water cutting dangerous loads as it leaves a big kerf and are 10’ long when started but are consumed. They require a very large amount of O2. I’m certainly not recommending they use them.
@@winebartender6653 You don't need to be so snide and rude. After thinking about it I wonder if there isn't enough room beside the ship or if the crane can't reach. I also thought over the weekend why would they lift the containers off one at a time, but I see they are lifting 3 at a time. The army core of engineers isn't as smart as you seem to think they are. My grandfather was an engineer for a huge construction firm. He once took me to a grand opening of a army base his company had built. When we got there some general looking guy was arguing with him. I asked what that was about. He said that they were mad about cost over runs. I asked why there were cost over runs. He said some things they require are really difficult or impossible. I asked such as what. He said they specified stainless steel plumbing for both supply and waste all the way to the street. He said those parts are extremely difficult to source. He also said they did things like specified 10 inch drains in 8 inch trenches. My cousin is a retired Lt colonel from the core of engineers. He tells all sorts of stupid stories about what goes on and the incompetence.
@@frotobaggins7169 Your comment, in and of itself, is short sighted and completely unnecessary. You don't think the hundreds of men and women working on this hadn't considered easier approaches to the situation? It's just as rude to make a comment that ignores their hard work with a suggestion that takes nothing into account other than wanting to voice an opinion.
@@winebartender6653 Whatever. Your comments have added absolutely nothing to the conversation. You'll just have to deal with keyboard warrior. Yeah, the same hundreds of men who left the bridge unprotected in the first place so this wouldn't happen. Real geniuses. What are you 12.
There are divers down doing something, perhaps mapping debris? The goal right now is to lift enough containers off the bow of ship that they can safely work on the girders that are lying across the bow. Then with the girders off the ship, they will offload enough more containers to refloat the ship and tow it out of there. Then they can work on girders and bridge decking.
Don’t forget they’ve got two guys with hacksaw. This is the biggest joke I’ve ever seen they should’ve already had this bridge cleared. I think it’s a photo for the for the governor and all everybody else it looks so stupid
Keep in mind This is not the normal processes of moving containers. Instead of a top down view, there is a whole different prospective. Plus they need to be very selective as to not further damage or cause an avalanche of containers. The debris is like an iceberg; what you see above is NOTHING compared to what's below the water. Gravity and physics are also not friends of the process.
Keeping all of those working under these conditions in my prayers.
This video can very reasonably be watched at double speed.
Or speed 6x
Most likely they get paid by the hour, not the job.
130 of the 4300 containers being removed to assess the bow of the ship.
Aren’t some of the containers empty?
Are the ones that are leaning over going to be removed this way too. Amazing work going on there.

I wonder if they cut the locks under the third one. I imagine damage to the containers is not the biggest deal in this case

I'm impressed moving 3 containers at a time.....and where are they taking them?
I would assume the containers are going back to port and put on trucks to get to a different port
Empty ?

Wouldn't you love to have the gas contract for this operation. $$$
We used liquid O2 and rented an expansion device that converted the liquid to a gas. I haven’t seen burning bars used here.
It would make more sense to put the barge beside the shop such that the crane doesn't have to spin the whole way around. they could move more faster.
Yeah, you should go tell the Army corps of engineers. I'm sure they have no reason to do it that way.

It might depend on which side of the bridge they want the containers to end up. They probably want to offload them on this side.
How many people are actually cutting the girders??
The goal here now is to get the Dali out the way so they can crane and barge from both sides instead of one

@timbentley3536 You better get there and show them how it's done since you're such an expert on bridge salvage.
Perhaps you should get off the couch and help, tim!
How manny containers is it on the ship.
4300 and they are removing 130 to clear the bow.
Wow it make take some time to remove The.

Exactly well said
What? No chat?
Gotta get a passage through, they got coal to deliver ?
about 15 minutes to discharge three containers is ridiculous
I hope we are not meant to be impressed by a crane lifting three shipping containers.
I still dont get why they didnt call in the military and have their demo engineers cut the beams with det/prima cord
You don’t have much experience with det cord do you?
The ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS is running this ...
Civilian world problems vs. get it done now!
