- As cranes carry shipping containers from the top of the Dali to floating barges, divers are working on the bottom of the Patapsco River preparing pieces of wreckage to get lifted out of the water.
"Right now they're doing some cuts. They're also doing some bucket dredging to allow us to get down into the mudline where some of the heavier debris has sunk into the mudline. So that allows us to see - is it still connected? Do we to make cuts? And then we're setting up all the equipment for the larger cutting operation to try to create the pieces that we can rig and then lift it out," U.S. Navy Captain Sal Suarez, Supervisor of Diving & Salvage, said.
Captain Suarez is leading the underwater effort here. He's in charge of a team of 20 divers, all working on emergency contracts.

very dangerous work underwater 🇺🇸protect these brave divers!! 🇺🇸
I dove with scuba on a sunken tugboat in a river with a heavy current in winter with three foot visibility. I lost a fin. When I came out, I shook for an hour from the cold or fear. Scared the hell out of me and still brings fear into me even today 60 years later.
As a former rescue diver these type's of jobs are very hard, and yes looking for dead bodies is a horrible site. Good Job stay safe
Searching for bodies in wreckage, I couldn't do it. But there must be a good feeling in reuniting families with their loved ones.
Great update and informative progress report 👌
With that murky water they could try using hand held clean water lances to improve visibility.
That is 4 - 6 dispersion nozzles bringing low velocity clean water pumped from surface down a hose to the diver and directing the water stream in front of the divers arms and helmet to create a clean working window.
It could improve visibility by 3 - 6 times.
Same with headlamps on helmets , In dirty water dont attach the work light to the divers helmet , but use a handheld one to illuminate the work instead of illuminating the particulate matter in the water.
My concern is after the Debis is off the Dali will it sink? I sure Hope Not.
If the current is a huge problem, couldn't they take one (or more) of the trapped deep-water vessels in the harbor (or preferably one there for scrapping) and moor it/them at an angle across the channel to redirect the current through the northern temp channel? like a temporary breakwater for the current.
Why do news casters think the viewer want to see them on camera instaed of focusing of video of the actual work?
@mokedokie - no diss to your comment... they may not, it could just be standard practice in news reporting.
Where’s the divers
Underwater
being a diver working in that murky water stinks. try it sometime in a totally dark room try nailing a nail into a board. Flash lights dont work because the water is cloudy.
Bud : ..but I'm the toolpusher on this rig, and when it comes to the safety of these people, there's me, then there's God. Understand? If things get dicey, I'm pulling the plug. (1989)
The best diver on every dive job is always the dry one getting dive pay & talking a lot …, lol
This is a very difficult and stressful job. These people deserve to be paid more to go slow and be careful. Get them whatever they need. That includes special food and a massages. Reduce their stress. Slow and steady wins the race. They need extra support. Give them whatever they need. Work should be done in short intervals. A little extra oxygen might be helpful. Fatigue is cumulative and we must anticipate it with respect.
Don't John Wayne it. We want everybody to make it home safely to the people they love.
Give them whatever they need.

I wish i was working for you .
👍👍👍
Slow process
can someone in the media please get the closed caption synced with the video? It's always running 10 seconds behind... and it only seems to be on the news channels!
Pre recorded shows have the time to sync the closed captioning. With live shows like news the people have to speak and then that audio goes to a closed captioning service where people listen and type. That data is then sent back to the station where the closed caption data is added to the video stream. All that takes time which is the reason for the delay.
@@regould221 that was 40 years ago. It's now automated. Watch your local news and it's VERY close, unlike here on YT.
Bring in the Union Divers !
The Navy is full of Manure. They could hook up a battleship to that bridge and tow it off in ten minutes
Why don't you go suggest that to the ones in charge.
Ever try to tow a multi-million pound very long and wide anchor that is deeply embedded in the seabed, and to do so when a massive cargo ship is still impaled on it? Thank you, professor.
So sad who is responsible 😂😂😂
I have numerous symptoms of radiation poisoning. Twisting bones and severe burns. Rancid stench in the fog. Idiotic lunacy since hitoshima. Starting with extinction of bison. Might not be any food in the united states. Videos on channel.
Does anyone interview the actual guys doing the work anymore? Seems all they talk to are the PR people who never get their hands dirty and have little concept of what is involved in the real work going on. Whenever the cameras show up there seems to be this group that mouths of knowing little about the day to day project but full of paperwork and hot air.
All right mr know it all why don't you go down there 😡🤬 what a wuss😮😮
Just pull the ship back on the high tide
Why don't they blast the steel with precision blasting. There are explosives that can do this work in the military. This will save time to cut the steel?
