When You analyze the video, don't cut it
So scary. I really really hope everyone is ok and can return home safely…coming from a child
No wonder my aunts are terrified of bridges.
The smoke is not the problem - the ship lost power. And veered radically right.. Why the helm went hard right is - mysterious. Why isn't rudder straight back the default. ?
Because they dropped the anchor
Current in the water and wind caused it to veer of course. the rudder has practically no effect when the propeller is not turning.
@@MrAlekoy Bull Shirt. Water flowing past the rudder steers the ship. A ship that size is slow to turn. to go so hard right - you would need to work hard at it. Regardless there was no wind or water flow pushing the ship to the west shore of the river. There the prevailing wind is from the north west. The wind woulda blown the ship left.
@@jpr1370 The wind blowing from the north-west is EASILY proven BS; If you look at the video, you can see from the smoke coming from the boat that the wind was blowing from the east, a ship this size has a lot of area for the wind to catch.
@@MrAlekoy The wind was blowing from the East.
It looked like the bridge was made of cards, not Steel.
A steel truss bridge with a massive central span simply isn't going to survive one of it's two main support pillars being knocked out. It had to be built that way to allow ships under it in the first place. This doesn't indicate a design flaw.
Om!wow! I'm in shock!!! Ship looks like it lost power and was out of control. Prayers for. Everyone!!
Boats can't steer without power
@Golden-Pictures the wind at that time was 0 mph. The black smoke shows that the engines not only had power but they were full steam ahead and sharply turning directly towards the bridge pillar.
@@RyLaraway There is a difference between main engine which gives the propulsion and the auxilliary engines running the gensets onboard. The black smoke is most likely from the main engine going for crash stop (Full astern to avoid collision) The gensets are probably working, but they also need to syncronize to the frequency and load of the electrical consumption on board. Too high consumpsion and you get black ship, which is what appears to happen twice.
@@RyLarawayno true at all you clearly never docked a boat
Well in regards to the anchor, with the looks of the anchor chain, the moment of the allision, the anchor was dropped lately. I hope the Bosun and the Chief Officer Survived 😟
Seems like the Bridge's Pylon at point of Impact was VERY STRONG, bc although
collapse happened, that SUPER HEAVY Ship was halted at that point! It would seem the
Ship's momentum ought have made it Drift & pass that area by 4-6 Miles more....
Heavy, hard, and strong? What's really going through your mind? Lol
Fantasizing about naughty thoughts? 😂
NOT a ship longer than 3 football fields and loaded with cargo. You're not making sense.
8knots🥴
Since there were no billowing oceanic waves present in the water that night, where did the force(s) come from to knock the ship off its initial trajectory towards the open waters and redirect it towards the bridge pillar?
Why so much black smoke? Usually that means alot more fuel is being pushed. Usually poor combustion. Not the right fuel and air mix ratio. Is this not how this works on a ship too?
Likely because they suddenly threw the ship into reverse to slow it's speed. Not enough though.
All the money that the tolls paid for could have bought tugboats those tugboats could have tug the ships in and out case a ship does lose its power it would not hit the bridge but now we didn't think smart so this is the results of stupidity
It was definitely turning - the wrong way and into the piling
It didnt have power bro, so they didn't turn it any direction
💯
It depends on which way the rudder was pointing when they lost power. Once they lose power they can't steer
Under the bridge there is no lights and everything is so dark that's the reason. They are saving on electricity!
the big question is - why it veered to the right, towards the pylon) after power came back on and black smoke?... Did they go full power reverse (which could be correlated to the the black smoke) and then "prop-walk" effect caused it to swerve to right... Why did not they just let coast, seems it would have just cleared it.... waiting for NTSB to do their due diligence and what happened?...
When they build back the bridge , it will be able to accommodate larger ships . the bridge need to be up dated .
Nah, there's no amount of bridge that would be able to be standing after getting hit by that.
@@killer008ryes, actually, this was an engineering failure
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI an engineering failure in that boat yeah.
I mean, it wasn’t a height issue. The ship was out of control and blind. With that much weight behind it and so little time to reduce speed I don’t see how any engineering could avoid this very specific scenario.
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVIIt was a 155,000 ton ship that lost power and veered into one of the bridge's support columns. I can't think of too many things in this world that wouldn't have been knocked over.
Black smoke from diesel engines is indicative of the throttle being pushed wide open. That ship was accelerating.
Maybe it was pushed wide open in reverse to try and stop it.... Wait until the investagation is over to find out what really happened, I guess...
Run away diesel motor?
Yep someone had the accelerator dwn.
That ship was trying to reverse my guy
This is one thing I found. There's one person whose attacking me on the first video out, but I just blame it on his ignorance...... READ THIS... Nothing is a coincidence….. The Francis Scott key bridge (Francis - the one who wrote the national anthem) was hit by a cargo ship heading to Sri Lanka Ship is named Dali (in Sanskrit -the language of Sri Lanka- means to divide) And there was a painting done in 1945 called The broken bridge by Salvador Dali. Remember The name of the ship is Dali….. the 1% & “elites” love to use symbolism- it will also be their downfall. That’s why the gov wants to ban TT…. The information gets out in real time on TT….
full spead in a port?? black swan event
Is 9 mph full speed in your opinion?
CONJECTURE _With the waining moon tide... should she be left to drift, DALI most probably would have grounded on the east side of the bridge. _CONJECTURE
Why was the port anchor droppped? It's the ONLY reason the ship turned RIGHT INTO the pillar. Watch the video at 4x and it is an obvious deliberate turn right into it.
It looked like it steered in the direction of the piling
Dropped anchor, full reverse + current.
It did, full engine power
🤡🤡🤡@@RyLaraway
Singapore must take responsibility
Oh my what a disaster🥲
No Horn? No tug boats! Ask a former Coast Guard if this makes since. Where's the pilot boat?
pilot boat would of dropped the pilot off to operate the vessel coming into port tugs either following behind or waiting at dock in that big of water tugboats don’t help guide the vessel
@@its80s50 copy that
Is not the ship look the bridge no light dark and no update
No one sees the explosion to the left of the ship about 300 feet or so?
Wonder if it got hacked into and sabotaged. Let's see what the investigation brings.
Investigation 😂😂😂😂
If it got hacked into and sabotaged then it was likely by the same group of people (different department or agency but still part of the same network or conglomerate) who will be doing the investigating.
Was the ship insured? Was the bridge insured? What was on that ship? Very shady stuff. Ships don't drift away then loose power all of a sudden.
Pretty clearly looks like they intentionally hit the bridge pillar
Pretty clearly looks like a systemic power failure resulting in a loss of steerage control my guy. Thus the engine belch and the port anchor drop.
Shouldn’t bridges be designed to withstand collisions by commonly encountered watercrafts? Maybe that type of ship shouldn’t have been permitted in that waterway
Peoples can't find peoples if they are alive in the water
Sorry but that was absolutely ridiculous how it collapsed like a pack of cards. Surely there should be a contingency plan designed into it for a potential collision. That was a joke!
There's no structure that can withstand that much inertia without collapsing
@@RyLaraway ???
What an unconvenient time to lose power of your ship..... in 2016 the same ship crashed into a port wall in belgium.
What comrade???????
obsessed
Youd think for something so catastrophic.. that thered be safety measures in place... or some sort of crash proof barrier around the structure or something...
Despite the enormous weight, the ship was traveling 9 miles an hour and the bridge completely buckled in 10 seconds. Am i the only one to ask if there's anything that could have done to at lesson the damage done by a ship impact. It only had two pillars supporting the entire structure.
The ship's crew called mayday. That's why there was less traffic on the bridge when the ship hit. They also dropped anchor, apparently trying to hold the ship back.
@@AnoraJohnson my comment was regarding the structure itself. You’re saying that nothing could have been done to lessen(not stop) the impact? Look at how the left side split on impact, now
Picture if another pillar had been there. They could have more dolphins places closer to the barriers.
@christerry1773, that's like asking what can hold down a house during a tornado.
@@christerry1773 sure, you see the four small white anti collision dolphins at the end of the video. They are much to small and much to far away from the bridge pillars. In this area you have so much flow and wind. Big vessels like this without a running engine for maybe 2min. getting out of control. For a emergency anchorage it was to late and to close to the pillars.
@@christerry1773 I didn't say nothing could have been done to lessen the impact. I named two things that were tried as the event transpired. The pylons were buffered, but not enough to hold back this moving mass. Each of those containers is comparable to a semi truck trailer.
School example of a cyber attack!
Greek ship?
🙏🙏💔😰😇🇱🇷
why isn't the shipping company responsible ????
Their shipping company's insurance company will get the bill, but right now let's get things back in operation
they are waiting for daddy america's made up script
I'm pretty sure the captain from that boat is in a military base somewhere and will be for several days under very intense interrogation as he should be while we figure out how we respond to this
It was commanded by port pilot.. When a ship entering and leaving a port or sailing in channel like river it was boarded by the port pilot.. he take the command of the ship. Pilot and capt should emediately do the emergency steering right away after they loss the power. Emergency steering is one of a drill doin on board whenever happen of loss of power.. by mean controling the rudder in a steering room by manual.. on modern ship, it was life a 2 button ( red goin to port and green button goin to starboard ) like a manual steering. If u watch the movie of " the finest hour" the engineer on that ship do the emergency steering.
At 1/4 mph not exactly like a hot knife through budder, was it built with matchsticks?!
Try 7 knots and over 100,000 tons. That's over twice the mass of the Titanic.
It's about the energy contained in an explosion of 320lb of TNT.
Now think about what a single 1lb stick of dynamite can do.
Captain of the ship now named. Uncle Albert
👏👏👏👍
I hope my iPhone is ok...
Was it Russia or china ?
Singapore/China
Proudly!
..you´ve been at lobotomy closely, right? :D
All indian crew
Ukrainian master
captain was Ukrainian
Most Crews are from Indian Subcontinent
Most Captains are from Slavic region(Mainly Ukraine & Russia)
Most Merchant Fleet are from Greece
Captain is American
Harbour pilots were locals
Just realised the name “Dali” is a place in China. And this ship is built in China…Wah ha ha
😂😂😂😂
diversity hits the seas
no propulsion shouldn't mean no steering.
If you understand how ships work you understand how wrong that is.
the current turned it and it your out of power you can turn
@@StarSprangledBanner Backup generator should at least keep steering control.
It's a ship that's longer than 3 football fields loaded with cargo. NOTHING would have prevented the crash once it lost power. It was just too close to the bridge when it happened. Another 10 minutes and it probably would have missed the bridge because it was going 8 knots.
@@MFitz12 lol crazy to think the opposite of truth could be stated so plainly.
Has anyone seen the car that went down like another titanic movie😂
Are they gonna blame trump for this too!
How is the weather in Russia today, Comrade?
same as the weather in China Joey@@Phaedrus-th7bi
No, but your side has already started blaming non-whites despite absolutely zero evidence of crew negligence.
Stop playing victim.
Ukraine bridge caput!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
