Wow, you have outdone yourself with this report Captain Andy. Thanks for your dedication getting these reports out, especially on such a long day. You are amazing!
Thank you Captain Andy for everything you provided on this very long day for you. A tremendous and comprehensive coverage on your part. Stay safe
Thank you Andy! Glad everyone was ok. I listened to the Coast Guard comment on this. Wasn't impressed. They were asked about the air quality and said it was fine. I thought no way! Your channel is getting everywhere. Many things online about the Golden Ray said go to your channel to know more about the Golden Ray. That's awesome! Hope you are getting some rest. This will be interesting what's next for the salvage.
Take care!
Stayed up and waited for this one. Awesome footage.
Fire at sea is always the worst case scenario for any ship. Look what just happened pierside in San Diego to the Bonny-Dick...total loss from a fire that raged for days with every available fir apparatus on hand. We shall see how this goes and what's left once the fire burns out.
Tremendous coverage today Andy! You lead the charge for Nationwide coverage of this today! Well Done, and Thank You!
Andy, what an incredible experience you have provided for everyone who watches your videos. It reminds me of a huge woodstove chimney fire that that is self feeding and will be out when all the fuel is gone!!!! Thanks again Andy.
Wow great coverage thank you for putting in the time to give us good videos👍
I saw your boat on Jax news!
After watching this whole video. I have to say best pictures and footage I've seen on this fire. Even the reporter you have on boat had done a good report. The ship looked on major fire blazing on both ends!
Just a big shout out to you Andy for the time & work you put into this report each day!!!! Just Amazing the dedication you put into all of this & the many years down the road how your coverage of all of this will be greatly appreciated.
Would not be surprised to learn about structural damage to VB.
What a mess amazed it hadn't happened before this. Possibly the worst way to "salvage" anything!
Thank you Capt Andy!
there are lots of sealed systems in a car that can build up pressure and rupture if heated in a fire, break, AC coolant loop, gas injector rails, steering hydraulics, etc. when cars ketch fire on the side of the road, it's not uncommon for a few overpressure explosions to happen. the pressure wave from those overpressure explosions can act like bellows in a furnace forcing air at a burning surface momentarily.
great vids, be safe Andy and crew. B)
@David Bryant ok, if you say so.

Captain you out did yourself today. Could never be more impressed and then this happens and you step it up to new heights of reporting/coverage. THANK YOU from your North Georgia friends.
So glad they removed so many vehicles in the weight shedding. Less to burn and less contamination.
I would think that straps that connect the Golden Ray to the VB10000 are compromised with the heat of the fire. I just hope that the ship is not so unstable that they can’t resume cutting at some point.
I fear that we will be well into hurricane season before we get rid of this thing.
holy moly - nothing like upping the ante
i'm currently watching the vids as suggested in an earlier posting, this will certainly wake the team members of the unified command - interesting stuff, but as i say again and again its all preventable when the correct precautions are in place
just amazing
that VB10000 will now be installing a fire prevention system, something that big you could provide a mass of water very quickly
Well Captain I suspect it will be more than a few days to put the fire out completely and I also suspect this may cause a dilemma in the cutting plan....however I’m just happy nobody is hurt 😔 And darn I was hoping this mess would be gone before the 4th of July so you all would have had a beautiful celebration in the bay 😞 Well it should prove interesting as to what their next plan of attack will be...Thank you for the awesome coverage...Stay safe and dry and God Bless and Gods Speed 🙏🌹🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 See ya 🤗🤗
Hey Andy !!!! WOW !!! What a disaster this has turned out to be !!! Glad you were able to video this with ALL the action going on !!!
Waiting to see what is next in line for the ""WRECK"" ??? Hope ALL the crews are OK !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!
Thanks Capt. Andy. Your reports give us more up to date information than the news and Unified Command combined. That was nice of you to take folks from the TV stations out with you. We will keep watching daily. Glad you are safe and that no one was hurt.
Very welcome. MM
Fantastic report! What a traumatic day. This event is so multi-faceted. This has made this removal a whole different ballgame. They may have to re-think the lifting points. In fact, I would venture to say there is damage to all of the welds exposed to extreme heat. This event is like a heat treat process on the metal, as you stated. It changes the physical and chemical properties. Unlike heat treatment under controlled conditions, the effect on the steel on the ship will be random and non-uniform. This will pose a huge safety risk evaluation. If and when cutting resumes it may be a few weeks. It appears the fire is mostly out now. I see they are still spraying inside the hull of the Golden Ray.
USCG unified command briefing was underwhelming. Fire of reminds me of fire on USS Bonhomme Richard last year. All vehicles above water line will provide fuel to fire in form of plastics, tires, fuel, rubber, etc for some time. Good thing cargo didn’t include EV batteries. Thank you for video series!
USS Bonhomme Richard fire was unbelievable & just a major loss for our military force around the globe!!!
Thank you for documenting this process. Its fascinating and well produced
Great video,Andy!! Thank you and stay safe!!!
Another great video thanks Andy be safe out there thanks
Great coverage. Shout out to the fire crews and pray the shoreside people aren't in danger from the smoke.
Great report as usual. Thank you Andy.
Thanks Capt Andy for a great in depth report on the fire on the Golden Ray.
I’m happy to have heard that no one was hurt. Hopefully they’ll be able to do an investigation of the Golden Ray and determine whether or not they can continue cutting. If they determine otherwise what do you think the salvors will have to do?
Demolition charges to blow the hull of the Golden Ray to pieces and then remove them from the Sound with the grappling claw? As I’ve said before I know absolutely nothing about marine salvage and am curious as to what you think their next move might be.
Thanks again for your tireless reporting so that we can be informed.And stay safe out there.
Well this will now either collapse when they return to cutting or because this fire may have weakened the steel the chain might go threw easier
It did not weeken the steel below the waterline
Thanks for your coverage. I know it's a sad day for you because of what the impact may be. Also happy to hear that no one has gotten hurt.
I appreciate that. MM
Amazing video, Andy. This is both maddening and heartbreaking
Amazing footage again captain.
I watched a report they were using torch's to cut part of the hull away and that what started it. The more I see of this ship I question how sea worthy is it can a 100 mph tip this ship over?
With the ship open on both ends and the wind like it was it probably created a venturi effect to fan the flames. Open to the air there is no way to smother it out. Fire can't burn without oxygen and with the wind blowing at that speed it had plenty to feed it.
Ya done good Capt.
That is going to cause a huge environmental headache!!! Glad all the crew is safe.
It is time to call in Shmit salvage and get that thing out of there!😡
This has been a s#@tshow since 2019, incompetence, low bid wins project
Wow! Red boiling fire and black boiling smoke. Good job on the coverage. Sad this has hampered the entire situation. So so thankful no one was injured.
"What happened now - did the rubble burn down?"
Awesome Footage, this will make this job much more difficult and if the ship collapses even more difficult
Add another year to this removal or more if the VB is structurally damaged.
This fire is so disheartening. The even worse news is that once they get the fire out, they are facing a whole lot of new problems to get this salvage operation completed. Unfortunately this fire will add at least another few hundred thousand dollars to the cost of this recovery operation as well as delaying the recovery even more. It's looking more and more like the choice of cutting the Golden Ray into sections, was the wrong choice for salvaging the vessel. I'd hate to be the guy responsible for having made that choice. It's kind of evident now that rolling her back upright and refloating her would have saved most of the pollution problems and probably a lot of time and money. As always Andy, stay safe and many thanks for keeping us all updated.
I guess if they burn the oil off it won't get in the water?
Thanks for burning the midnight oil (no pun intended) I'm wondering if that bunker oil that never seemed to come out ignited.
Just was wondering, all the cars getting cut up inside, they must have a small amount of fuel in them, and batteries. Wondering if they might of had a short oiy lab sparking the fire
Wow hats a hot fire.Great report
Thanks for sharing the situation on the Golden Ray.
You bet. MM
Andy it's a pity that you are not on any news channel , news reporter of the year,it's in the bag Andy services rendered.
Good Job Capt.
Thank you!
You're welcome! MM
That thing was really cooking, no one injured is impressive.
Get some good videos of that fire fighting rig in action that the salvers put together. Looked interesting.
Sal Mercoliano verified what I had said to you before that this wreck should have been uprighted and floated away instead of this ecological disaster that is unfolding now. They needed to bring in the crew that took care of the Costa Concordia in Italy a few years back. The water line shows that this ship had enough water at high tide to float it away after reinforcing the ship and uprighting and removing as much cars first. Who is running this operation?
It’s gonna be okay. They have enough crews out there to clean up the oily water.
EPA: Its on fire you need to put it out before the pollution kills us all..
Boat Crew: No chit Shirley
With all the flammables on board not accounted for, this was bound to happen. It was reported earlier, that their have been small fires during the cutting process. And they anticipated it and were able to contain them. They must of hit the mother lode of flammables.
My son and his wife were getting married at the lighthouse that day as this was going on! Did you happen to get any drone footage of a wedding on the 14th at the lighthouse? A news helicopter flew over our wedding party too, but I don't know what station it was from. would love to see it, if someone has it. Thanks.
I did not. MM
Lots of rubber tires burning in there.
You have job security following this deal!
If only they had awarded the contract for salvage to Smit-Tak. Job would've been finished 12 months ago with zero environmental damage.
Maybe they could of done a controlled sink? The cables are still attatched!
she is sitting on the bottom. No where else to sink. MM
Wonder if it occurred to anyone to just lower the burning ship back down into the water? Lol
Sorry I’m new to the channel and I’m sure somebody has mentioned this. Lol
She was pushed up onto a sandbar when she capsized. Kinda locked into that spot now. Half in and half out. MM
What they learn from this one will help on the next one.
its astounding - with all the equipment developed for the teams there seems to be so much faffing about - while i realise there is much safety to consider - there has to be an easier and faster way to respond to these kind of incidents which just seem to be more and more frequent - i could design a much more suitable rig to deal with this situation, get a ship righted, emptied of cargo and fuel and refloated in weeks rather than the year or more this took and hopefully prevent these potential environmental disasters - get me in touch with the right people haha ??
I wonder how much money was lost on tourism from this wreck.
Fire fighting boats must be coming from New York City, should arrive any day now
Talk about making a meal out of a job. Big Payout.
Minor set back, nobody was hurt all good,, kill two birds with one stone, steel gets weaker for easy cutting , less material to handle !
Ok Capt Andy, I got another comment/rant/keyboard judge: I'm angry. I watch this and feel that the last over year and a half has been an utter failure. Nothing about this recovery has gone anywhere like they said it would, remember 24 hr cuts they thought? Wrong, Everything with section 7, nightmare. I've told my kids once everything calmed down we'd go down on vacation and see where this all was. Now it'll be contaminated with carcinogens for decades to.comr it won't be safe. The residents here, the fisherman, the tourist, the sea life, the beaches have ALL paid for this epic failure. Leave what's left of it there now. Can't be too much left for it to destroy.
