Yes, I remember when the Silver Bridge fell onto the Ohio River December 15,1967! It happened rise before Christ MMB as so there were many cars on that bridge! Pt. Pleasant ,WV / Home of the famous Mothman story ! 42 people died in that disaster! Ghost Hunters did a program about the Mothman and the Silver Bridge disaster is covered in that video too!
Paint type for cutting might be considered. Protection for respiratory health. Lots of cuts for reducing size to get practical for barge transport to scrap areas on shore.
Haha - I called Sal "omnipresent" a day ago and here he is on yet another channel! Is the Dali significantly blocking the shipping channel? If not, is there any reason to not get the bridge debris in the channel, out, 1st?
One big question Sal, we all heard you on about, or when the Port and Harbour of Baltimore improved its facilities for Very Large and ultra Large international Commercial Shipping Vessels, plus exporting and importing companies too! However, the Port of Baltimore Authorities, or City Baltimore Transport Administration, or Local County Transport Administration, or the State of Maryland Transport Administration, let alone Federal Transport Administration of the US Government too. Actually carried out any upgrades and improvements, or modifications, or even installed, or look at installing these it seems? Any of the possible different Heavyweight and Fixed Marine Defensive Measures, for the protection of this near 50 year old and very important East Baltimore Road Toll Bridge? Which carries a major interstate Highway, which not only goes around Baltimore itself, though more importantly carries over 30,000 vehicles and many or most are freight lorries a day and night, that is 7 days a week and 52 weeks a year! Either travelling North or South along the Eastern Seaboard Interstate highway and road network of the USA too, why were not reinforced concrete dolphins installed? Or thick marine reinforced crash barriers built into the water channel bottom and coming metres out of the water with navigation warning lighting systems on etc? Or even the construction of major built-up rock islands, that is around the bridge foundations and bridge support piers or support columns too! Or rock breakwaters were built out form each shoreline, that is on either side of this bridge out to the Main Shipping Channel, both upstream and downstream too. With these rock and reinforced concrete breakwaters, then in-filled and making them into extended shoreline areas, which could be used for sightsee, sports and leisure use, or light business use too? Or just increasing the height of and grading a upward sloping bottom to the underwater shallow areas, by just using tonnes of dredged River and Channel Bottom Mud and Silt, then dumping this mud and silt plus grading upto in a sloping angle to the shorelines banks on either too That is on either side of the bridge itself, also on either side of the Main Shipping Channel to shoreline as well, in the process creating a giant shipping run-off grounding breaking areas, that runaway ships and vessels could run aground on and into! Sal and of these heavyweight fixed Marine Defensives Measures, would have prevented the collision totally in the first place. Or at worst situation reduce the force of this Large (10,000 to 15,000 TUE’s, or 20ft or 6m shipping containers carried) Container Ship, impact on the bridge to a what would have been survivable impact collision, or a major repairable collision amount of damage? Equally the the Port of Baltimore Authorities, or City Baltimore Transport Administration, or Local County Transport Administration, or the State of Maryland Transport Administration, let alone Federal Transport Administration of the US Government too. Could have put in place regulations and rules, all Large Commercial Shipping Vessels of between 25,000 to 50,000 Gross Tonnages must be escorted, towed and guided by a pair of tugboats, With at all time an One-Minute at most Alert Emergency Fast Response Fire Rescue Salvage Tugboat, is on standing by patrol (24-hours, 7-days a week, 52-weeks a year) either within the Port and Harbour area, or along the Main Shipping Channel or both that is at all times too! While ALL Large Commecial Shipping Vessels are either entering and leaving the Port and Harbour area of Baltimore, or travelling under all bridges crossing the Main Shipping Channel to and from Baltimore too! However with regards newer Very Large Commercial Shipping Vessels of between 50,000 to 100,000 Gross Tonnages, then they must be escorted, towed and guided by a pairs of tugboats ahead of the vessel’s and by a pairs of tugboats astern of the vessel’s, plus another tugboat of escorting in case of an emergency too. Lastly Ultra Large Commercial Shipping Vessels of between 100,000 to over 200,000 Gross Tonnages, then they must be escorted, towed and guided by a pairs of tugboats ahead of the vessel’s and by a pairs of tugboats astern of the vessel’s, plus another pair of escorting tugboats in case of an emergency too. In closing Sal, why is not the likes of NTSB or Federal Marine Transport Authorities in the past or now, or State and National Politicians in the past, or even now too? Not openly call for an Emergency Federal and State Reviews of the United States Marine Civilian and Naval Infrastructure be carried out As soon As Possible? Also how well they are United States Marine Civilian and Naval Infrastructure, actually defended around the USA, that is against all types of Natural or Manmade Marine Accidents or Disasters from happening. Let alone from attacks carried out, by International Terrorist Groups attacking Marine Civilian and Naval Infrastructure, or attacks from Enemy Rogue Nations on USA Marine Civilian and Naval Infrastructure too? Because of what has happen in Baltimore in the last few day, with the whole port and Harbour of Baltimore, plus the bridge and Interstate Highway now going to be closed down for weeks or months, even out of action for years to some degree. American and European Politicians and Transport Administration Officials alike, have to realise their joint overseas foreign enemies, will be taking very close interest. That is on what has happened in Baltimore, also how quick the US is to respond and bouncy back, plus how the US recovery’s from this Container Ship and Bridge Marine Accident and Disaster too. Is the Port up and running in less than 28 days or within a couple of months, with Commercial Shipping Vessels and Naval or Naval Auxiliary Vessels, allowed to leave port or enter port normally? Or will it be three to four or five or even six months, before Port is up and running normally at full capacity, or still only quarter or half and/or three-quarters capability too? Or Commercial Shipping Vessels and Naval or Naval Auxiliary Vessels, will not being using Baltimore Port and Harbour facilities that is normally? Actually until a NEW Road Toll Bridge is built and up and open to traffic, so re-linking the Eastern Seaboard Interstate Highway network, with the City and port of Baltimore too? Which could be 3 to 5 years you suggest Sal, could Baltimore be not up and working at 100 percent, until say the 2028 Presidential Election come round again? Especially depending, on if Trump and the Republican Party was return to the White House, instead of President Biden and the Democrats are Re-elected in November 2024, in just over eight months. Because it will be interesting to see what development happen in Baltimore, in the next 7 months how these may affect the US Presidential Election in November 2024. If President Biden and the Democrats can delivers on President Biden public promises to Baltimore, with Hundreds of Millions of Federal Aid Money, assistance, help and support. Especially from the USCG, US Navy and US Army Corps of Engineers, or will we all see Trump and his Republican Party supporters, plus very much Republican Party Politicians at City, County and State levels in Maryland plus on Captial Hill in Washington DC too. Trying to delay Baltimore receiving all these Hundreds of Millions of Federal Aid Money, plus Federal assistance, help and support coming from the USCG, US Navy and US Army Corps of Engineers too. As part of Trump and the Republican Re-Election Campaign, for Trump to be President in 2025, then afterwards Trump will deliver all this Hundreds or thousands of Millions of Federal Aid Money to Baltimore so Trump look good! Though When Trump was President, what did then President Trump or his Republican Administration, do about the protection of United States Marine Civilian and Naval Infrastructure around the USA, ANYTHING AT ALL?
they said theyd have conclusion of investigation and results of determination for cause and culpability in 12-24 months. 12, to 24 months. so they know that much. thats actually pretty amazing.
This salvage is going to be an Industrial Ballet. They need the Mass up in air safely down and onto a barge while not having ship float and twist . One bite at a time they will reduce the danger and float the ship to unload . Should build 6 islands or barge “ Dolphins “ to protect future bridge with parks to dedicate each life lost . Use them while doing the work, repurpose rather than tow away . Ever wonder why Titanic didn’t try to stop ? Also never heard a Ship Horn blast ????
Remove the ship first??? I don't think so. They will start removing the bridge pieces first. Sal, come one, I thought you were a "professional"??? That ship can sit there for as long as it needs to, but the bridge pieces are the hazard right now.
Thanks Sal.
Sal has an excellent youtube channel if you guys want to have a more fleshed out view of this incident
Sal knows his business. I watch him regularly.
Sal is THE MAN
At least it didn't happen during rush hour.
Yes, I remember when the Silver Bridge fell onto the Ohio River December 15,1967! It happened rise before Christ MMB as so there were many cars on that bridge! Pt. Pleasant ,WV / Home of the famous Mothman story ! 42 people died in that disaster! Ghost Hunters did a program about the Mothman and the Silver Bridge disaster is covered in that video too!
Wow! Talk about Auto-Incorrect!
That should read it happened right before Christmas.
Paint type for cutting might be considered. Protection for respiratory health.
Lots of cuts for reducing size to get practical for barge transport to scrap areas on shore.
Haha - I called Sal "omnipresent" a day ago and here he is on yet another channel!
Is the Dali significantly blocking the shipping channel? If not, is there any reason to not get the bridge debris in the channel, out, 1st?

Ever wonder why Titanic didn’t try to stop ?
Also never heard a Ship Horn blast ????
Ah, so that's what's going on with shipping.
The truth of the crash may never come out lest Insurance/Compensation be denied for the Pilots/officals erranous actions in an emergency situation ,
Remove the ship first??? I don't think so. They will start removing the bridge pieces first. Sal, come one, I thought you were a "professional"??? That ship can sit there for as long as it needs to, but the bridge pieces are the hazard right now.
