Close look at complex Baltimore collapse site cleanup operation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2024
- A massive cleanup operation is underway in Baltimore to remove the wreckage after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse on Tuesday. The Navy is providing at least four cranes - including the largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard - to help with the efforts.

I wasn't even home (in Baltimore) but when I got back in town Thursday and saw the exit for the Key Bridge closed and blocked off, it felt so unreal. Even on Google maps it says temporarily closed. Seeing the bridge gone is crazy
I bet it was a shocker for those who live locally. Sad about the family men who lost their lives, as well.
Same with the cake on my counter.

Don't worry. The feds (taxpayers) will pay for it.
@@seeharvester Nope. Biden said the feds will cover the costs, to get the work started, but recoup the cost when the litigation is complete.
@@wendigo53
I never heard him say that.
And even if he did, it'll never happen.
They'll put the money in their own pockets.
Why isn’t Synergy Marine Group paying for the cleanup and new construction?
There needs to be an investigation first.
Why is this so difficult for people to understand?
Investigation first, then fault is assigned. Then they are sued.
There's probably already suits being filed against them. Get in line. The government will want their money first! Then anyone physically or economically harmed by the accident. Class action suit.
Insurance/Sueing for damages for something like this takes a LONG time and is not garrentied in US courts. It is a major port and highway and needs to be cleaned and fixed immediately and can't wait for an insurance payout when thousands of jobs are on the line and causing major shipping lane disruptions.
you think they have the money?
do you want it done or barely touched?
Because no ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collision. That's why. This collision will impact insurance rates on vessels from now on.
Really? Perhaps ship control was hacked by terrorists.
Just a question... Shouldn't the Shipping Company's Insurance Companies rebuild the bridge? Why is this a taxpayer responsibility?
Great question!!!!!
first it would have to go through litigation which could take years
eventually the insurance company will pay for it
but you have to understand just who was in charge of the boat at that time
that would be the harbour pilot WHO is not employed by the company who owns the boat
and since this KEY bridge (say so right in the name)
is so instrumental to the GDP of 'murika its been decided that the gov pay the bills associated
Because insurance companies take a long time to pay out, but in order for Baltimore's economy to function they need to to be built back as soon as possible. When the insurance company eventually does pay I believe that it will sorta "cancel out" the taxpayers dollars.
that bridge should have never been built ., its total shame to build bridge in 1976 and using 19 century technology .
The ship is insured by Britannia Protection and Indemnity Club and they will have to pay the City and people who died. That will probably have to be after the clearing of Debris is done and the actual cost it took for the Crane and the workers is done in addition to the price to rebuild is quoted. The expected pay out by that Club will be about $1.2 Billion when its all said and done.
I’m a longshoreman at the port of Baltimore and we just saw a copy of the port act,don’t let them fool you they are not helping us at all!!!!!
Remember Maui.
Please, elaborate
@@Lordkeese_ My guess is they're not paying longshoremen for lack of work related to the port closing.
They should let y'all come down here to Norfolk and catch some jobs, being we're getting the majority of y'all work.
They should hire you to help with the cleanup
Why are they saying that it's going to be 100% state funded, when the shipping company responsible should be insured?
Just more ways to steal from the taxpayers
Shipping co. Is only insured for so much. Rotten deal for MD for sure, but it's that way with all cargo ships.
Laundering money!!!!
If you ever did insurance claims then you’ll understand that it takes weeks to months to process. And there’s a high likelihood that this specific claim will be contested in the courts to delay payment.
Maryland also is losing billions in revenue and is endangering tens of thousands of jobs that depend on the port being up and running. Not to mention the bridge is apart of the interstate system. To prevent more loss of economic activity and potential layoffs the government is scrambling to rebuild the bridge.
A good analogy of this is someone breaking your walls in your house from the outside. You will of course submit an insurance claim for the other person to pay but in the meantime you need to rebuild the wall ASAP to prevent anyone or anything from getting in. You will get paid in the end but you can’t wait for insurance and legal battles to end to fix your house.
Do you really think that your beloved private sector companies (there seem to be about 6 layers involved) are going to jump into action because YOU think they should?
I’m very impressed by the navy. The size of the construction and removal of the debris is huge.
That's an understatement
the better look for professionals. No Navy from no Country of the world have the experience with such large clean ups. They have neither the technology nor the right experts.
@@muratti72mucthe navy is just supplying a crane that’s at their disposal and probably some divers
Isn't there a Navy Core of ENGINEERS?
edit: Army core of engineers
you're impressed with 3 cranes? I've seen more from one company.
Thanks for the coverage. I'm anxious to hear about anything that's being done. The more info the better.
Why are we paying for the bridge. The shipping company needs to pay
Damn skippy!
Insurance from the shipping company "may" pay out, but only to a point and could take years. This bridge collapse also could have been prevented if Baltimore upgraded the bridge to moden standards and put ballards in front of the bridge pillers but decided againced it as far as I could tell. It is a major port and roadway that needs to be fixed immediately and can't wait for insurance payout.
@arcadeportal32 the bridge has been there for decades even if they spent money to beef up the peir it wouldn't do anything against a 200000 ton ship. Plus there was nothing wrong with key bridge I lived 45 mins away from it
@MrTk6969 I mean modern bridges have bollards in front of the pillers so ships hit that instead of the bridge. Most major bridges have built after the 1980s have them since a previous ship crash that killed 60 people back then, but the city never installed them due to them not believing the cost of the ballads was necessary because the risk of an accident is so rare.
@arcadeportal32 well that's the problem because the bridge isn't even the city. It connects Anne arundel and baltimore counties. The state of MD own the bridge. Also the key bridge basically splits the port into 2 sections so it really doesn't have that many ships going under it. If any money gets spent on upgrading a bridge it will be the bay bridge since any and all port traffic will have to pass under not 1 but 2 ( an east and west span) bridges that are each over 5 miles long. And about 200 feet high. From road surface to water .
As a road construction worker they had time to stop the cars but not alert the workers? Where was the emergancy horn or bell on the ship?
you think the workers even had a chance to go anywhere???? The ship was trying its best not to hit the bridge , im sure the driver of the barge was in panic mode trying everything he can to steer the boat not to hit the bridge , even if a horn went off, you think the workers are going start running ? I dont understand your comment
Those workers don’t even seem real. Look at all the names. Doesn’t that weirdly fit a narrative?
@@TheReaper42069put your electronic device down and please quickly get in touch with reality before you down the rabbit hole🧠 🕳️
Blowing the horn doesn't mean those workers would have known what was going on. I bet most of the world dont even know the what 8 short blasts followed by 5 long blasts mean.
Probably not suff time, BUT - the 'emergency' comms by the bridge supervisors was too casual. I'm surprised they didn't say "insane, awsome" or other crap. Have a listen.

A report from credit rating agency Morningstar DBRS predicts the collapse could become the most expensive marine insured loss in history, surpassing the record of about $1.5 billion held by the 2012 shipwreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship off Italy. Morningstar DBRS estimates total insured losses for the Baltimore disaster could be $2 billion to $4 billion.
I bet Lloyds of london is having a close look to see what their exposure is.
Yes the Insurance underwriters would be loosing sleep over this just for the time lost to the navigation route and port authorities losses, Might be Cheaper and safer to abandon the bridge and go for a new Tunnel seems to be the latest thing.
How about EXXON VALDEZ grounding ? What would be the value of oil spill disaster today ?
Can the steel be recycled? I have been across this bridge and it was massive. Praying for them..
Itll be scrapped
It can and will be Steel can be used over and over again.
Of course they will recycle it lots of money worth steel
Come on. My pop can is recycled. Do you really think a massive steel structure is just going to dumped into a landfill?
Probably selling it to China like the world trade centers
Just like the titanic disaster, I'm betting after this disaster, they will enact maritime laws requiring all ships to be under tug boat control when they are going under bridges. We can't afford this to happen again. As far as cleaning up the mess, I’d think maybe taking off chunks with cutting torches. I don’t have a clue how they would get the stuff off the bottom.
I read that tug boats released the ship after it was clear of the port. It seemed like all was well. I believe it had a U.S. pilot still on board. (2 pilots.). Local. or special pilots must be on board while maneuvering within US waters.
theres no fickin comparison between this and the titantic
learn your history before spewing
They were under tug boat escort, but it left before it entered under the bridge, which I understand was a no no. Human error is what caused this.
@@dianealbrecht496 Not a no no. All they were required to have was the pilot. The bridge was very badly constructed; there should have been reinforcements round the bridge to protect it. This has been known since at least the Tampa bridge disaster. No excuses.
@@dianealbrecht496incompetence is what happened 😳 failure like the Biden administration 😢
This was a damn good show RM informative and entertaining and most definitely on point for those with remaining common sense 👊😎👍
A problem which will likely require computer modeling to examine & document the current stress transfers which keeps supporting it in its present configuration, in order to safely disassemble and remove it. Can't just "chop it up", especially tricky will be the sections collapsed in the deep water shipping channel, and given the environment of where it is, safe work of this nature will be have to be restricted to stable weather conditions as well . . . a real mess.
Thank you Govenor Wes Moore for your service to our country and for your leadership during this disaster. I am confident that you can lead the way to a successful and safe recovery from this disaster. Stay frosty!
he's not the one in charge. the coast guard admiral maybe. the army colonel is representing the team of army engineers who are doing all the planning and calculations.
The Rear Admiral is in charge. But then again, I think that Ole Wes likes it from the Rear. LOL
Tell em the truth Wes. Your state is flat broke from paying lifetime pensions to retired state and city workers . It's BrokeMore Maryland. LOL
This is AWFUL!! Hats off to the Men and Women who will work together to fix this. NO matter the race, gender, color, political party or sexual orientation. #EndTheHate #BrandonScottPROUD ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for the Update!
New York State spent four Billon on the new Tappan zee bridge and it’s about three miles long I live about one hundred yards from it !
Isn't the ship company responsible for some of the payment if not all. They caused it and are at fault. Isn't who's at fault pays and has insurance? Common sense
I think its kind of like a rescue of someone lost in the woods. Is it their fault for being there? Yes. Is it their fault they got lost? Kind of. Was that their intention? Probably not. Their rescue will be paid for as long as there is no evidence of it having been done intentionally or frivilously. This whole thing will go to court and be there for years, that's where it will be determined if the company did something wrong. Just having a ship lose control due to a loss of power isn't necessarily a crime, there maybe be negligence at play here, and generally a lot of factors that will only mean delays in rebuilding. Having a cost of repairs is also really handy when you're going to court as it shows just how much the damages cost.
No ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collision. But I'm certain that cargo ship insurance rates just skyrocketed come April 1st. LOL
Common sense is way too simple in a complex and messy world.
The bridge was very poorly protected against a collision, and that may be a factor. This will take years to negotiate and litigate.

Could cost $1B.
They act like that’s a lot to spend on our own country after they’ve sent what? $100B to Ukraine without a thought!
You can double the price easily
Here's my question...Where the hell is the 3 Trillion "Roads and Bridges" money allocated by congress 2 years ago? This bridge is 48 years old and last I checked the road crews were filling potholes.
A) It was not 3 trillion, but 1 trillion; and B) that's to be spent over 10 years, so they are spending $100 million a year for the next decade. That's peanuts for a country the size of America and the amount of infrastructure it has that needs maintaining especially when you consider America spends $900 million a year on military.
It got sent to Ukraine!
The state of Maryland was cobbling the road surface to buy 10 more years. They are more concerned about collecting a lifetime pension plan from the state
@@jdanon203$100 billion a year, actually.
good that they are funding cleanup, just have to make sure there are zero kickbacks.
Good luck with that, it is Baltimore!!!
Baltimore is corrupt as hell. The governor is a stooge.
You know how all that goes anywhere, no matter where it is.. it's the same way everywhere..in one way or another..
Was Omar anywhere near the bridge just before it collapsed?
Feels like it’s straight out of the Wire
Omar did not hack the ship operating system and run it into bridge support. 😮❤
@@lahaina4791 :
Are you sure?
I'm surprised we haven't heard about them trying to get the VB10,000 heavy lift twin gantry catamaran that can lift 7500 tons, yes 7500 tons! That's what was used to lift the large pieces of the Golden Ray auto carrier that capsized in St. Simons Sound, Georgia in 2019... These cranes they've got in Baltimore are small compared to it
When the 35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed the new bridge opened 14 months later. I don't know the length of this bridge, but I offer what I know of the 35W bridge in Minneapolis as a means to give some reference for the rebuilding of you lost transportation asset.
Was such a beautiful bridge. 😭
was pieace of shieeet.. i took it few times , 10 years ago. scariest bridge to drive thru in entire america. WAS! glad it is gone. 2 narrow lanes, very sharp climb angle, which included curve too ,, they built it in 1976 using 19 century technology , and bridge was for port heavy truck traffic. with little hit from the boat it simple jumped off the pillars and we see where it is. That bridge on that hway should have looked like Verrazano bridge or GW Washington in NY> not that .. Another shieatty bridge of that kind is Bay bridge to Annapolis . also in MD not far from this fallen Key bridge. If you ever have a chance take it and you will understand what im talking .
100% these old bridges incl Bay bridge are awful designs and feel very unsafe… clearly lowest cost design and build won the project
Sane as the twin towers. Inside job.
@@zevlove612 We have 2 of these bridge designs here in Oregon. The Longview bridge was emergency closed last year due to drivers feeling the bridge move & shake under them.Inspectors found several critically broken parts!! The inspectors were amazed that the bridge had not failed. Did not like crossing either 1 over the Columbia river. Can`t swim very well!
That's a ugly bridge I've seen far better looking Bridges that are built way better that bridge design was the worst.
Me I would not rebuild the bridge I'd make it a tunnel bridge under the water. There won't be any problems ever again, and all ships can move through there much faster without the worry of hitting anything.
Tunnel bridge costs more funds though. I see it worth the extra cost upkeep for a tunnel over a bridge is about the same as well. Either way it's 5-7 years to rebuild a bridge so people will have to deal with going the long way around for quite a while.
Ship pilot: I was just sitting there when BOOM, this bridge crashed into me 😅
Like your sarcasm.

Full speed ahead Captain. LOL
Man we already about to get Baltimore Coal trains it’s busy as hell for us in Newport News rail yard😩

Was this an accident?

@@MR..181Why ? He is not in Supreme Court.
Faroe islands build under sea tunnels for $200m and they say a new bridge will cost up to $1b. 😮
you cant haul dangerous goods through tunnels
Because bridges are not tunnels. The construction costs of the Queensferry Crossing (Edinburgh Scotland UK) was £1.35 billion (1,641,378,700.00 United States Dollar). This bridge is a similar length and was completed in 2017.
lining someones pockets
@@annarichter484 Yes you do have a big difference between a tunnel and a bridge. The government of the Faroe islands manage to build those tunnels for about $200m. I am sure if it was built in the US or the UK, that price will go over a billion.
@@mrmacq-jk4td The point is not what you can transport through a tunnel but the cost to build.
Theres also perhaps 1.6 miles of highway that also fell into the port
Basically clear out every piece of metal and concrete but there is much more
1,000 ton crane is quite IMPRESSIVE!
I’ve worked with 400 ton cranes and they are impressive. The biggest problem is getting the loads centered. There is no measuring. You can guesstimate but fine tuning will be needed.
But the worst part is the MEN that didn’t come home and passed away.😞
They use a small crane to stabilize during the lifts
The worst part is how will the Maryland governor pay all of the lifetime pensions to retired workers he's on the hook for without a Port or bridge toll money???? LOL
They are in God's hands now.

The federal government will sue the insurance company of the ship that did this and eventually recoup the money which will be credited back to the federal government, but that process will involve litigation that will take some time, so we need to help now and recoup that money as that process plays out.
It doesn't go that way . Federal government ? Sue the Insurance company of the shipowners ? Your idea is too simple. Things are much more complex and complicated. To give you a little glimps into Marine Insurance : Ship is insured in two tiers ... by P&I (Protection and indemnity) which covers 25% of specific risks ... and H & M (Hull and machinery) covering remaining 75% of risks . Then there is cargo insurance , each cargo owner has own cargo insured for maritime risks. This case will be a "Long and winding road" ..... before any claim is set , the legal representatives of all parties involved must collect constructive evidence. Because the cargo insurers will probably claim damages to cargoes/goods and delay in contractual delivery in some cases a total loss of goods.
Take in consideration other losses i.e. commercial loss to the Baltimore container terminals because of inoperative water ways , charterers Maersk various losses and so on and so forth . Long story short : the smelly solids will hit the fan big style.
They getting us Oklahoma bridge didn't come down but u will hear the lady n man saying he was coming to the wall fast n that ship smoked a little bit
Well it was on the news just now a barge hit the Oklahoma bridge hard as hell
Lessons learned, DON'T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET, mega ports make for mega problems, reopen all the smaller ports along the coasts, decentralize major critical operations like refineries, ports, transportation hubs, farms ect. like the old saying go's if all your eggs get broke you go hungry.

In the future, I would appreciate it if you could put MORE writing across the images that we would like to see. We see way to much of the video image and it really should be covered up as much as possible.
Since the port of Baltimore supplied the dirty fuel that caused the ship's engines to cut out, maybe the shipping company can sue Baltimore ?? Also, they ought to take this opportunity to dredge the channel
There's a lot of investigation that needs to happen.
Reminds me of the Port season in the Wire on HBO
Yes they need to check the fuel
The MV Dali was also cited for issues with their Auxillary Machinery by port authorities in Chile back in June. I think they have to figure out what the problem was before you can decide who is going to be suing whom. I'm sure they'll dredge as necessary, since that's something they already do regularly in order to maintain the shipping lanes...
It's called bunker fuel. 80% diesel and 20% garbage from the port. BrokeMore Maryland. LOL
The ships insurance company should pay for it.
The government will cover the cost in the short term to make sure it’s rebuilt as quickly as possible. The government will be reimbursed when the insurance company and any other liable party pays out.
Please thing about things for more than 5 seconds. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
In time the insurance company will pay something but I wonder how much insurance the ship had. I really doubt that it had enough insurance.
@@diegomo1413 so the government pays the immediate cost(s) of clearing the debris and to begin construction on a new bridge. We the taxpayers are the ones that will be paying for this. Does this mean we taxpayers will get some sort of refund once the insurance companies finally pay back what is owed to the government? I'm thinking probably not....
@@diegomo1413 Missing their point. Considering how it only took you 13 minutes to respond, try to think about it for more than 30.
@@Ozzie4wheels The government (tax payer) will pay everything until the investigation is concluded. Once someone can be blamed that someone's insurance will refund all the costs made by the government (tax payers). The tax payers will not receive any money because you didn't pay any extra tax to allow the government to pay for this as they reserve money for these things in the emergency response fund which is used in cases like this (and natural disasters).
When they rebuilt the Tappan Zee Bridge on the Hudson (NY) they used a much larger crane called the East Coast Heavy Lift. It was much larger larger than the crane on site in Baltimore. They're gonna need more Heavy Lift cranes for this job.
Was it a floating crane like this? He said this is the strongest floating crane on East Coast.
Now I could be wrong, but I pretty distinctly remember the governor saying “Opening the shipping channel is priority #2, only behind the rescue operation. So far they’ve done the rescue as best as possible. They’ve cleared a non-shipping channel, a second non shipping channel, a third area not in the shipping channel. When exactly does the TOP clean up priority begin? The shipping channel has already been moved back to priority #4 apparently. We at the port are OUT of work. Very soon the economic impact is going to touch the citizens. Nothing is coming in, and nothing is going out. At least make whatever effort you apply be toward the shipping channel.
Make the company that owns the ship pay not American taxpayers
Why? Surely that has to be determined.
What if they built a tunnel instead? Surely that would be the safest choice.
Begs the question why they didn't build a tunnel back then
@@wireless-earbuds-brain-tumor they’re a lot more expensive

The harbour is still there, the bridge isn't. Clear a channel, rebuild the bridge. Then sue the ship for switching fuels inside territorial waters.
The us should really hire the subsea seven crane vessel seven borealis it lifts 5000 tonnes and is in barbados currently. Might violate the jones act but this is quite the disaster tho. can clear much faster than using 1000 ton cranes
that rig is possible already under contract ?
Guessing they probably tried but it probably wasn't available.
Before shouting insurance company please understand that the investigation must first establish WHO was responsible for this disaster… if it turns out it was a port employee that piloted the ship to disaster what then? What if there was contributing blame on part of different actors eg vessel mulfunctioned plus pilot and captain error…
The bridge might be at fault, I mean it just jumped out in front of that innocent boat. Or perhaps the Ukrainian captain wanted America to suffer.
I agree. But SOMEBODY who is NOT a taxpayer like us CAUSED IT. We know that FOR SURE. So we Taxpayers SHOULD NOT pay for it. Let THEM PAY first, ie the shipping company.
The only thing I can say is that insurance rates for container ships will skyrocket. And regulations will greatly increase
Have you noticed auto reporting on the Crane? And nobody seems to be concerned with doing any reporting operators of that ship. Doesn't that seem kind of strange?
Please include the WHOLE person who is signing in the video. The camera operator should be instructed to do that.
You have closed captions. But they appreciate that you noticed the optics. They pay good money for it
Why?
The urgency to build a new bridge vs Getting to those bodies still stuck under water in there car.
Could you imagine the deceased family listening to this, worried about economic impact and not those bodies!
Sorry friend & know it's a horrible thing to happen to anyone but the world don't stop turning for the deceased, life goes on for the living. Many peoples livelihoods depend on that harbor & everyday it's closed is a major loss to all. If those guys were in a vehicle, they'll eventually be retrieved & if they weren't, sadly they may never be found.
60 million was giving as a down payment from the federal government. It will cost 400 million to 1 billion to build a new bridge. Our economy is hurting even when many cargos are crossing over! Hard working citizens cant afford to buy a house due to the high interest rates. The united states could have used some of the money.
They are not building a new bridge yet. They are clearing debris which is blocking the divers from getting the other 4 men.
They have not issued a contract to design the new bridge.
In addition to the debris in the water there is some debris on the land.
They are trying to get the port open so that functionality can resume.
@@nancymilawski1048
I understand, however the main script of the video is to get a new bridge build to resume operation. There was not much said about to those who are deceased.
@@TrueFactsDrop they are a long, long, long way from rebuilding. Months and months of clean first. And while the clean up is going on the investigation is also going on. NTSB said it usually takes between one to two years to investigate.
It might be investigated in segments, like do as much on the ship before it's moved. But they also need to investigate the fuel with samples being taken from the ship and also the supplier. They also need to see if any other ships had problems with the fuel, including communicating with ships who left earlier in the day.
They have to investigate the bridge debris in the water. This is much harder to do.
So .... nobody is concerned about supply chain issues or gas prices here in the coming weeks/months?
The cost, supply, and demand for Orlon will be impacted!!!

The priority after the men are recovered should be to get the channel open. That way shipping can resume.Tug boats stationed to assist ships thru the area of the bridge. Until the log jam is relieved. In the mean time as much shipping that can be absorbed elsewhere should be encouraged. What trucking that used that section of 695 will have to be rerouted on the western side of 695.
Hopefully the rebuilding will take into accoont future traffic needs of not only the vehicular traffic but also possible rail line over and larger ships under.
We heard over and over in this video that clearing the shipping channel is the priority. So I don't understand this comment.
@@MKPiatkowski My fear is that they will not open the waterway until every last piece is cleared instead of concentrating on the area in the center of the channel between the 2 support piers where the ships pass.
@@kapekodbob where the ships pass is a 700 foot wide area. they even said some ships only have a 1-2 feet of clearence over the bottom of the water, so it's mandatory to clear everything away or some bigger ship might hit debris left there. they already started work, cutting the bridge. the army enginners already scanned most of the area and are calculating what to cut and where to make pieces small enough that the cranes can lift. they have divers in water almost non-stop.
the coast guard is trying to see if a smaller passage can be open for smaller ships/boats before the main channel is cleared of debris and Dali ship.
you should listen to what the actual people doing the work are saying and not the empty talk of politicians. there's this and other clips which mentioned all they're doing.
@@verliebt3465 Now that's what I'm talkin bout. Hearing it from a practical hands on person. Not a bunch of agency heads that have never done a days physical work..
I see where the ships pass and to me that's where the debri needs to be removed from to let ships pass. The sections to the left and right can be removed with less urgency since they are not in the channel in my opinion.
Can you link these people doing the actual work so I can listen to what they are saying?
@@kapekodbob i've watched so many clips about this i'm not sure what i saw where.

clip starts just before the coast guard admiral comes on and says they're looking into opening a channel for small boats. later in the clip an army general talks a bit how they're going to cut the bridge that's stuck on the ship

Congrats on reporting about actually news and not something trump said on twitter. Amazing people still cover that after like 8 years of doing it
Well, when Trump is saying to scrap the constitution and install him as president on truth social; and he has one of the biggest followings in the country, than I'd say that is news worthy.
Let me guess. You’re ok with E Palestine and Maui (where hundreds died) still not receiving any help from 46. Very sad. It’s all politics.
Awwww poor MAGAt... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hopefully they can get the bridge rebuild quickly and rail service can resume.
They estimate @ least 5 yrs. probably more. The original Key bridge took 5 yrs.
Nathan, this isant Legos. Think before you speak.
They'll have a bridge in less than 5 years because heavy equipment is a lot bigger than in 1977. 3 years tops. The governor wants his bridge toll money back. New bridge probably double the toll price. The new bridge will be insured
@@truthsetter5155 You missed the point of the comment.
How did that ship loose power right as he's approaching the bridge 😮😮an in hearth those hit the spot we're the hole thing drops uumm screechy 😮😮cracy...may God be with us...😢
Each part of the wreckage has to be calculated before its cut, not at any time will it be one crane, to support the weight it will also take many thousands of cutting gases to achieve this procedure.
That crane is tiny. Have you never seen the Dutch salvage cranes?
Call the Dutch East India company. LOL
Shipping company needs to pay for it, not u.s. tax payers!
Ultimately this will be covered by Insurance companies but there’s literally billions of expenses here. All the jobs lost in Baltimore for example.
The government will cover the cost in the short term to make sure it’s rebuilt as quickly as possible. The government will be reimbursed when the insurance company and any other liable party pays out.
Please thing about things for more than 5 seconds. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

It doesn't have to take years to rebuild, The new spans do not have to be steel. They could be prefab reinforced concrete sections made along the shore, towed in on barges, and lifted in place. Also, sections of the collapsed spans should be partially floated by launch airbags and towed out of the way for demolition.

When dealing with a massive construction project the least useful person to put in front of a camera is some doofus lying politician. Complete waste of time. Let's hear from the construction personnel who actually know something about the problems they are encountering.
The engineers and scientists would rather be working at their job than speak to the media, that's the specialty of politicians
@@nancymilawski1048 Oh please, you sound like a parrot just repeated crap you've heard elsewhere, or making it up. I was a federal manager for 35 years, as a physical scientist, and have lost track of the press conferences and interviews I conducted to inform the public about our projects. This included several trips through Alaska and the U.S. SE where interviews were conducted in relatively small jurisdictions, all with the intent of letting the public know and understand what we were doing. FYI the work was ocean surveying a mapping which was called to the front line every time a ship sank (Exxon Valdez), an airplane crashed, (Flight 800, Long Island Sound) or a ship collided with a bridge (Sunshine Skyway Bridge, Tampa Bay, 35 dead). There was no one above me who knew more about the work of investigating a ship channel to determine if it was safe to use by large commercial shipping, certainly no politician who were generally looked upon as bad jokes. I took this work seriously and never even considered that talking to the public was a distraction, a burden, or a task left to others. Taxpayers paid me and deserved to know. When there was no disaster I returned to the mundane work of creating navigation products for use by the maritime community. I feel confident I know what I'm talking about.
Increíble, lo veo y lo creo!
Ship insurance does not cover in USA, just coast in asia, European.
China would have it back together in a few months without having countless meetings to talk about it
😒😒
The governor is doing press conferences like he's running for office. LOL
could they build a tunnel instead?
Hazmat vehicles cannot drive through a tunnel.
That would be cool, but I think they want to keep a bridge for the sake of hazmat transport
They have other tunnels, but you can't take hazardous materials through a tunnel. They need a bridge for that.
Tunnel would take 10 years. Probably more
@@dgw4049 Chanel Tunnel was built in 6 years and is actually 3 tunnels
The Dutch salvaged the Harold Of Free Enterprise ferry as it sunk about 20 kilometers out of the coast of Zeebrugge NL / Belgium
So cool documentary
This should have never happened
Happen every where .unfortunately
Any other blindingly obvious gems of wisdom?
@DylanDuberstein Literally name one policy decision that led to this. Actually, the whole point of the infrastructure bill was to rebuild old bridges like this because they're falling out of date.
@DylanDuberstein always gotta try to blame joe eh?
joes build back better plan wasnt around when this bridge was built
but you knew that you are just trolling
@DylanDubersteinthe bridge was finished in the 70’s so before you or your sister-wife was born.
I disagree with the government paying to rebuild the bridge.
Why are we bailing out the insurance company?
Because no ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collision. But that will change real quick. Insurance rates for container ships will skyrocket by April 1st. LOL
@@gregorylyon1004 Considering the value of the ship is likely in the 10's of Millions, and the value of the cargo can easily reach in the 100's of millions. I think the coverage might be there to at least pay for some of this.. I guess it depends on what sort of insurance the ship and the company operating the ship have.
Cleaning up the wreckage is critical and will be done in a week or two, the port and shipping can be restored. The bridge is NOT critical, it is a minor convenience that saves trucks 30-45 minutes of driving time and a total of about $10.
Maybe they can build temporary ports on the outer banks of the river,just so cargo ships can unload and supply chain can keep moving. Just a possibility.
They should have put a protective wall to avoid ships from hitting the bridge and second…where were the tugboats to guide it through the bridge at all times?
😆 how big of a wall do you think you will need to stop 120,000 ton ship going 10 mph?
@@rogerthat4545
A steel cage type wall that can at least slow it and guide it through. It may be a huge project to make but it will save a lot of money because look what the hell is going on now.
@@Bassotronics did you skip over the 120,000 ton ship part?

That's laughable! A wall? To stop that ship? Think again

Would someone report on WHY the construction workers were at that location? If a Mayday call went out early enough the have traffic stopped on the bridge, then the word was out that the Zamboni was coming. Who’s responsible for either not getting the message to them or ordering them to stay put? How much time went by between the Mayday call and the collation? None of the many report I’ve seen address these questions. Happy to receive links to related articles and videos if anyone knows of any. Thanks
I assume this is just my assumption that they may have been in stations along the bridge.
It's a sure thing that they are talking to the survivors !!
The last traffic went through just seconds before the ship hit the bridge. You can hear in the records that the police officer is saying to his colleague who is on the way that there are construction workers on the bridge and that he will drive there as soon as his colleague is there to keep traffic off followed a second later by the words the bridge is down. There was just not enough time and it is a miracle that two of them are alive.
We lost 6 people. It could have been a lot worse
Falta de cuidado y también más control con la parte Mecánica
+ One way to secure “LALI” from flipping sideways loosing all cargo is to chain or strap tight 2 ( or more ) long vessels ; 90 degrees ; one on each side of the LALI ( parallel to where the former bridge was ) , maybe towards the third rear part of LALI using ( 4 or ) 6 chains each vessel : 3 on top & 3 on bottom that divers would weld D hooks for … They could be used for towing it later . Preferably done before touching debris on the ship .
This was done intentionally.they got to conclusion that this was an accident less than 24 hours yet we don’t know the history of the crew we don’t know any details about technical issues and if you watch the video they had enough time to get control of the wheel and why there’s no emergency in case when the power goes off ? And how come no one is get arrested for it
I love people such as yourself, who do not yet have the facts, can be so intent on indicting the people who actually are dealing with this ACCIDENT! Wait and be educated on the details, before you place judgement.
@@pamelakuhlman8481 MAGAS don't like facts & evidence.

Why is Maersk not paying!? And, FYI, the original bridge built in 1977 costed $60Million and took 5 years to build!

Why doesn't those Cargo Ships have outside Sirens, loud enough to alert those on the bridge that a horrible event is about to happen?

Make the people responsible pay for it not the taxpayers
Well the one responsible is the refining fuel plant that supplied the fuel for said ship. The fuel was bad and they had to purge the bad fuel to get the engine restarted.
