These guys are working around the clock to get this channel open. They deserve thanks.
Yes! Tragedies and accidents happen every day around the world.
In construction alone, many are injured or killed.
Demolition has the deadly risks as well!
I respect you , your knowledge, and your 1st Amendment rights!
👍👍👍👍
Folks have already forgotten the men who died.
@@yvonneplant9434
You are correct!
👍👍
@@yvonneplant9434 who?
No one has forgotten the folks that died, the debris has to be moved to recover the bodies!!
If I was doing that cutting with the torch, I'd be worried about built up tension in the steel letting loose when the cut makes it through.
Was thinking the same thing
Agree
This isn't their first rodeo. That consideration has been accounted for when they decided where to make the cuts.
@@davidgerwin7885 Exactly. Engineers would take a good look at that first, to evaluate the risk. Something can always go wrong, but the goal is to minimize the risk involved. Risk assessment - it's a necessary evil of modern life, and for when you're dealing with things that are a lot bigger than you are.
@0:38, it looks like the std oxy acetylene torch, not the "exothermic cutting torches".
@ 0:56 -- For those who many not be familiar with the exothermic cutting torch -- An oxygen lance / burn bar is being used to cut the girder rather than a oxy acetylene torch. The lance can be long, allowing the cutting to be at distance from the worker. This burns hot enough that the steel in the girders react with the oxygen, and work well under water, too. The lance is itself consumed as fuel. Quick, low cost, efficient and probably as safe or safer than other methods in part because the lance can be as long as it can be maneuvered and held in place. Thermite could also be used to cut. Efficient cutting depends upon high temp and minimal evolution of gas but enough to clear away the melted metal.
Poor construction crew...were probably wondering where all the traffic went.
I think they ran to their vehicles but couldn't drive away fast enough
It looks as if the traffic was only stopped for less than 1 minute by the time the bridge was hit. I doubt they had time to notice.
They were on their lunch break.
@@schex9they were in their vehicles on their lunch break.
There were two construction crews. On the bridge.
"And no, the Russians did not hack into my HDMI cable" is one of the better quotes I've heard in this year so far. Thanks for your great work sir!
But is he sure? Or maybe it was the Chinese. Or North Korea. They don't seem to get mentioned as much lately. Seriously though, he's spot on.
Crash happened at 1.30 a.m. so it probably was alcohol related or a crew members sleep deprivation
@@missingremote4388ummmm no.
Sorry, but I would argue. Putin send somebody to unplug this HDMI cable intentionally. Does Jeff has a proof that it is act of god? 😂
In terms of being apropos, I think it was *The* best I have heard!
Jeff, I’ve been watching your videos since Champlain Towers South. Never thought I’d be affected by anything in them personally, but I’m currently on Vision of the Seas, whose home port is Baltimore. We left the Saturday prior to the accident, and we’re returning, to Norfolk, this Thursday. Good work. If possible maybe link the fundraiser for the construction crew. Their families deserve the help.
Better coverage than lots of news channels! Thank you!
I think what happens is the big networks hold back stuff so that they can do big one or two hour specials in prime time to get a bigger audience with bigger advertising dollars…just a guess on my part. LoL
@@ChimeExpress, my guess is that news networks only hire pliable minds. The mindless the better!
@ChimeExpress The best conspiracy theories are the ones that are logical and don't require giant leaps of faith and contradictory viewpoints
News channels sucks
I'll take this guys opinions seriously after he seriously stops believing in a magical sky fairy that creates the earth 6,000 years ago.
How can anyone take him seriously?
My son called me at 3am, he was at work and heard it on the world news.
I was at the waterfront and saw the local choppers arrive around 4:30. Baltimore was the last place to learn what happened.
did you expect them to go door to door? local news isn't 24hrs.
Same. I heard it collapses but thought it was a plane flying over since the airport isn’t that far they fly over constantly. Wasn’t too 430am when I started getting phone calls asking if I was alive cause I take that bridge multiple times a day. Had gone across it 930pm that night it happened. The videos don’t do it justice. Seeing it with your own eyes, the amount of destruction is unfathomable.
@@brucesmith1544I hear about it from a small African news on Facebook then it was Australia. Before any American news station
@ms.don….. is often the case.
It actually woke us up as we thought that either something got bombed or it was an earthquake.
Earlier I saw a statement from a Coast Guard official (I believe) at the scene. He stated that the front of the vessel is indeed grounded under the weight of the bridge segment. Additionally the front two compartments out of four are flooded.
Before the Dali can be moved, the bridge segments have to be cut up and removed, the hazardous materials dealt with, and hull damage repaired enough to refloat the vessel. It's going to be a difficult operation. Thanks for the update.
The Betsy Ross Bridge in Philadelphia is nearly identical to the Key Bridge and built in the same era. Several large Dolphins were installed around the pilings shortly after Sunshine Skyway incident. Why didn’t that happen at the Key Bridge? Who made that decision? That was the original failure that resulted in this incident.
That will come out in the NTSB situation
Money money will be the reason it did not get fortified. Money and politics. We have to get those crooks elected.
If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Ships have been entering and exiting the harbor safely for decades since the bridge was built. There was no need to pour money into what was at the time a non-issue.
Weighing the amount of shipping traffic and the number of years in that the bridge was standing vs this accident, I would say that the lane was safe and that there was no need to be overly cautious. This was a freak accident, nothing more.
To deadsetanime, though I respect your opine. You say “no need” and “freak accident”. Tell that to the families of the killed construction workers who were just doing their jobs. This incident clearly demonstrates the need. And it wasn’t a freak accident. It was an accident waiting to happen. Ships hit bridges all the time.
@@deadsetanime7102"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" - Murphy's Law. Just because it hasn't been an issue for years, doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
Hi Jeff, yes, the bow is sitting on the bottom and the stern is sitting higher than it would be normally would be with this load. You can see this in your video actually by looking at the bottom paint that runs along the water line around the base of the ship. It's a dark red color, it is an antifouling paint.
Great videos you put out, Jeff, long timer viewer, I really appreciate the hard work and detail you always put into them, excellent stuff in my humble opinion. Thank you.
That view of the bow down lower than the stern, says more about the weight of the bridge than anything!
Here’s the problem with you comparison of this catastrophe with a car accident. The economic impact of this tragedy will effect the entire region, so the motive for a bad actor to cause such a mishap is real, whereas a random car accident simply doesn’t. Second, the redundant Safety systems onboard ships of this class make it highly unlikely that they just oopseid their way into that Pilar.
I saw a video and it shows a gas pipeline running right under the bow of the ship . They think the ship might be resting on it. That is one reason they don't want to try and drag the ship. I guess they will get the bridge off the ship and check for damage of the pipeline.
1!😊😊
@@Jasonliggett69 Except the economic impact will be mitigated in a short time. The channel is the critical part of the system, not the bridge. The channel can be reopened in a couple of months if that long, by removing the bridge pieces and then shipping can resume. This bridge was for a bypass not a major thoroughfare.
You provide the best coverage. Thank you!
I am so glad that someone else pointed out that the dolphins weren’t large enough.
It was the FAKE ORCAS .....just a sub painted like an Orca that did it.
Those new electric poles were adequately protected tho. The shop missed them totally. Guess the pillars should of had the same protection.
Comparably, those dolphins for the FSK Bridge were like putting a Livesaver candy down in the driveway to scotch your car.
(When's the last time you heard that term used? )😂
I watched a couple of excellent videos about this. One was from a tug boat guy and another was from an engineer who operates this exact kind of container ship. Tug boat guy says you can only use a tug to position a ship that large around when it's docked. The engineer guy showed all the redundant systems on the ship and how you can operate the rudder from the engine room if everything else fails. There's basically two of everything on opposite sides of the ship so if one side gets damaged the other side will still be able to operate the ship. He didn't speculate much on what might have happened only he did show how it was really low odds for something like this to have happened. I took that to mean that someone really screwed up somehow.
Would say remote guided. I would question what's in those containers special or club K?, drugs? Bodies? On top of the diddly raid thing
Would you mind sharing the video by the tugboat guy? The lack of tug assistance is something not being mentioned very much. In the gcaptains maritime forum it’s agreed that extending the tug requirement zone would be logical and a lot lower cost than other “solutions”. I note that the first ship to utilise the new alternate route was tug assisted as well.
Seconding the request for links to both of those videos--I'd like to see them too, please! 😻
@@abefrancis4137 the first ship to utilize the new channel was the tug Crystal Coast and it was pushing a jet fuel barge. It was not assisting another ship.
Whatever video you watched is wrong, I'm a tug boat captain of 20 years. The ship was going 8 knots. If there was an escort tug attached at the Stearns and 2 assist tugs on the Stearn and the ship, this would not have happened.. also, If the ship was going 4 knots. The escorts tug alone could have stopped it before the bridge...
Nobody going to credit the mayday call and fast police reaction? I would guess 10-30 lives were saved.
what a shame
They mentioned that the significant weight of the bridge is resting on the bow of the ship .. it's probably got the bow pinned to the shallower bottom right there and the steen of the ship is floating higher as a result.
There is a fear that the bow is pressing down on a high pressure gas line that runs under the river bed.
The Bow may not be pinned down to bottom. it can just be pushing that end down more because there's more weight.
@@k53847 Oh, for... This just keeps getting better and better!
Yes. They reported just this and that why the ship actually even came to a complete stop right there. It is in fact pinned to the channel floor.
The bow is resting on the bottom. Stern is sitting a bit higher out of the water than it should also.
Thank you Jeff for the update info 👍👍👍🫡🥇💯
The reason that these unlikely events occur is because all of the many times they didn't, nothing bae happened and no report was made. Only the rare time it happens, and something catastrophic happens, then you notice. Everyone needs a course in statistics.
Statistics taught me numbers can mean anything someone wants them to mean
And there was the barge that hit a bridge the other day, so that just adds to the conspiracies. Had the Key Bridge not collapse, no one would have paid attention to the barge incident.
Ah yes, confirmation and survivor....ship bias
I've had courses in statistics and finally dropped out when we had the intersection between statistics and marketing. Marketing was where we learned the most effective way to lie with statistics.
Jeff, I love the way you explain stuff e.g. how you oriented us to the four legs of the bridge pillar. You're like a great teacher who is able to bring everyone along on each journey of learning.
Great observation. No big deal, but Jeff mentioned that the bridge pillars were probably hollow, but it appeared that the pillars were possibly solid concrete. Also, the temporary channel will traverse under part of the bridge unaffected by the collision, not via any portion where the bridge debris is located. Anyway, an informative series of videos. Kudos!
If you put a bridge on the front of a boat, the back of the boat is going to be quite a bit higher than it normally would be.
True , every time i drop a bridge on a ship the front sits lower too.
Funny how that happens ? :)
Finally, I've been waiting for you to post! Now we can have some accurate and detailed information! Thank you!
It was shear chance there was construction on the bridge that night. Otherwise Maryland DOT would not of had units in place to stop traffic immediately after the warning. Units were there for the protection of the crew patching potholes.
'shear chance'.. was it though?
@@miserychannel666 Yes. So you’re trying to make this into a conspiracy now? I can’t WAIT to hear the reasons for taking out a vital bridge and subsequently closing one of the busiest ports in the country. This oughta be good. I’ll even wear a tin foil hat.
@@TitaniumTurbineso you know how important the bridge is but you can't think someone will want to take it out?
@@TitaniumTurbine Really, Where have you been hanging out...Mars?
I broke down on the bridge it didn't take long for a cop to come up and get behind me with his vehicle and push me off didn't quite know what to do when I got in the other side but I made it
Good stuff here and very informative and right to the point. No fillers or useless talk! Thank you
0:28
Thanks Jeff for another informative video. Even us here in Baltimore, we haven’t seen some of these new videos, or we may have only gotten a snippet. At almost a week after the collapse, we’re still reeling from this tragedy.
Forget national news, This is WAY more info than I've found anywhere. Kudos!
Very nice report, glad I came across your channel!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Jeff, our own government performed the Tuskegee experiments. Asking questions that are outside of the norm is not bad. I'd suggest you refrain from throwing around the word "idiot" so flippantly.
I get our government is pretty crappy and have hidden a lot of things, and many things thought to be conspiracies turned out to be true. But, sometimes accidents happen. I think this is a case of poor ship maintenance and outdated protection around the bridge pillars/pylons/pilings, whatever they are called.
Some folks like to control the narrative... not saying he is because he's just some naive youtuber but he's been effected by the old school mentality of trusting the hands that feed you I formation.
3 buildings, 2 planes, and a debunking of the official story of Building 7 by a college engineering dept.
@@gschgvt2956 Remind me again what type of plane hit bldg. 7. 🤔
@@stumphead4885 The wonder woman invisible type.
The reason your final bridge camera video frames are missing:➡️ IP security cameras write their video to a memory buffer prior to it being transmitted as data. There is commonly several seconds of video in the memory buffer that will be lost when the power goes out. This is different than the older CCTV systems that send an analog video signal to a centralized video recorder.
Hey Jeff,you are doing such a great job following this tragedy and I'm almost waiting with baited breath for your next video,thanks for what you do....
The alternate channel will only be for tugs, barges and some smaller vessels. Large ships will not be able to go through it.
Righto, Dali's draft, fully loaded is 49 + feet.
Even the second emergency channel they are working on would have a draft of 20 ft. Still progress to move a lot of ships (but not the major container carrying ships or the ones delivering cars)
Thanks Jeff- truly appreciate your expertise.
How about an Air-raid type warning around bridge triggered by boat Captain or Law Enforcement....
Sal said on What's going on with shipping, that the weight of the bridge has forced the ship to sit on the bottom on top of gas and electrical cables and other things so they can't just drag the ship off just yet
Thank you. Yours is the best and most comprehensive analysis I've found! Good mic too!
Wow, thanks!
4:22 - the containers in sharp focus don't even look real. The scale in this photo is incredible...
That's a real boat those are real containers
The boat and containers could be holograms 😂
Presumably a telephoto shot. It can make background objects look bigger and closer than they really are.
Thanks Jeff. You always deliver interesting videos with technical details and a human touch.
Thanks again for keeping us up to speed, Jeff!
Enjoyed the update, Thank you!
I maintain ITS equipment power on a major highway. I maintain the electrical infrastructure for cameras and fiber network equipment. I see tremendous lengths of cable and fiber to power cameras and message equipment at some pretty long distances. I see fiber runs longer than power runs mostly. My guess is these like many roadside ITS cameras are on a fiber network and that fiber network was taken down at the start of the collapse. My best guess is this is why the camera feed failed at the moment of impact.
That's the only logical conclusion given the power in the bridge cut off as Soon as it was hit, therefore it took out the camera as well.
Thanks again Jeff for putting all these together.
Thank you for making this easy to understand! Well done.
Holy cow that’s some Christmas decorating!
Happy holidays!
Alternate channel is only for barge and tug traffic. Must obtain clearance from USCG before use
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
Thanks Jeff! Really learn alot from your channel
I think the reason the bridge camera cut out is because the power to that camera was plugged into the main of whatever the bridge had power from.
Sounds/looks like a false flag
Most of these cameras are powered by power over Ethernet so when the network cables along with power severed as the bridge fell - all the cameras turned off. Even if on battery, the feed could not get anywhere to stream from
@@timcampbell3857 oh right.... the government knocked down a bridge because........ reasons???
@@traderpete007 But the start of the collision should still have been recorded whether it was POE or not.
@@aayotechnology any digital video feed is going to be buffered by at least a couple seconds. This isn't the old days of analog when video was transmitted instantly. As soon as power/connection was lost, that couple seconds of buffer is lost as well.
They're not clearing any debris for the new temporary alternate channel (that would take weeks). The new channel will go under the first span that did not collapse, north toward Sollers Point. The 1st fuel barge transited the new channel at 3 pm on April 1.
Reading the comments is hilarious. Now everyone is an expert. Hats off to all you keyboard experts 👏 😂
Every catastrophe or event...every one, every single time. 😅
I look forward to each video you post. Thank you.
Very good video ,very well put together.Hope we can see more updates like you did about the collapse of the apartment building,thank you.
One site reported two of the forward copartments on the ship are flooded.
False
Sir, thank you for the great effort you put in to make such a good video covering this entire event,
Really appreciate you Jeff! Nice to know, you got our “guy brains”. You never waste my time. Straight ahead, qualified,insightful, logical, info delivered at a substantial intellectual throughput.
This is definitely the best channel on youtube for this kind of stuff!
100% agree
Great work thanks
My probably accurate reasoning of why the traffic camera did not save footage of the collapse is because those clips are all 30 minute segments that are saved off one at a time. As you know, power to the bridge went down after the crash so that 30 minute video of the crash would not have been able to be saved to the disk. Anything that may have been saved to the disk would have been corrupt, but with some forensic repairing the file could be saved depending on the file format.
Good work Jeff, thanks for the video.
ALL cutting torches are exothermic. The opposite is not possible. And 11 feet will not allow many boats through.
Another name might be Oxy-Acetylene @MidnightWarrior1976 Thanks for your comment - Video makers always use the wrong terminology ~ Gets it right *HERE in the chapter markers 00:16 Using Oxy-Acetylene torch to slice bridge truss
A candle is exothermic. It's a fancy scientific way of saying release of heat.
Yeah, it's basically an extended oxy-fuel cutting torch, which can easily cut 6 inch think steel. An oxygen lance / thermal lance has an oxygen fed hollow consumable rod and looks much different.
The bow of the ship is being pressed down by the weight of the girders and roadway and that is lifting the stern up. There is a video of the ship with a front view and you can clearly see it.
Thought I read the front compartment or two could have flooded. The girders and roadway might be enough on their own. Isn’t it grounded by the bow too? Tide going up and down could raise the stern with the bow locked down
Good stuff Jeff. Thanks.
Great report - thank you!!
Nice work 🥇🫡
‘Right Hand Red Returning’ is the buoy convention in the US. The green buoy marks the left side of the channel, while the red buoy marks the right hand side.
this is a distraction again, nothing to do with the share turn onto target just like The MSM or Government accounts are making no actual sense at all?, if a ship loses power to the propeller while on the course the ship will continue it was on before the loss of engine power, the weight and momentum of such a heavy ship will never turn like the video shows. Remember the ship's electrical supply is from one of several electricity generators that these Ships electronic Autopilot controlling the hydraulic motors on the Rudder will keep working keeping the ship on the course set by the Harbour Pilot, remember that the ship was on course to pass under the bridge when the lights went off, without electric power to the Autopilot the rudder will remain on the set course while it was adjusting course for any wind or current variations, then when the lights (electric power) came on again the ship auto-pilot would automatically resume the original course settings before the power loss, But! The video showing the sharp turn onto the target had nothing to do with the lights, or Autopilot or wind or currants proves The HUMAN FINGERPRINT is all over this deliberate turn into the Bridge. Heavy smoke from the engine funnel is caused by a sudden increase in fuel to the engine that provided strong water pushed onto the now hard-turned-to Starboard rudder? Who changed the course of the Rudder? Then again the ship's rudder was adjusted to Port to stop the sharp-turning ship because the ship needed to make a direct hit not a glancing blow against the target. The MSM accomplices never talk about the sharp turn onto the Pier, and try saying see how the ship started to turn slowly away from the Pier, but sadly too late to avoid hitting the Pier. Sure sounds like a Government cover-up for whatever their reason is this was the intentional closure of America's 5th biggest port! (Now MSM are saying it is just the 19th largest Port?) No question about that! But was it the US Government extremists or their FBI, or CIA! Did Terrorists sneak on board and overpower the crew? Was it blackmail of the Harbour Pilots and captains and engineers, no matter why? It is “who are they” that must be discovered because 6 people are dead because of this deliberate act by some of the People on this ship!!!!!!!
The weight of the bridge and highway resting on the bow of the ship is why the back of the ship is raised up higher than the where the bow side is. Makes sense to me and a few other reports I've seen also said that this was the reason.
Great compilation, Jeff
Thanks for posting video.
PS - on another UA-cam channel, a civil engineer, went over the formula used to determine how much energy to would take to slow down that much mass. Also looked at how big a dolphin or barrier would have had to have been present to protect the bridge.
PS2 - It would be interesting to use a ships simulator, like the kind they use to train USN bridge crews, add in port of Baltimore data and MV Dali data, plus wind and tide and see what would happen.
I'm a mechanical engineer, not civil, and bridges are not my specialty at all. I can do math however. I can tell you that 100,000 tons moving at 8mph has the same kinetic energy as 300 pounds of TNT.
6:40 At 4:04 you can see that the second pillar (which is actually first in the direction of travel of MS Dali) has not scratched the substantially overhanging part of the bow section.
My thinking is: First the second pillar got in contact with the overhanging bow section. For a while it withstood the forces and cut/crashed into the bow. That is the open part which has that vertical profile now. ( 4:36 ) Once more of the hull exerted pressure on the pillar (more of the lower parts coming into contact and being cut / pressed in) the more force acted on the pillar. Eventually the pillar gave in and fell. With only one pillar standing on that side of the tower (formed by two pillars of the total of four) the second tumbled and collapsed. Then the other two came down. The three remaining pillars crumbled and the bridge superstructure made it fall away from the ship. Therefore we don't see any more damage on the side of the hull. Only from fallen pieces of the girder construction.
The bow did not shear through in my view. Once enough area of the hull had contacted the pillar the force simply pushed it over. Whether that can be called shearing I am not sure. Shearing needs two surfaces. One moving, the hull, and one resting or counteracting, the air? So I think it is bending. But I may be wrong.
That tiktok video is missing the initial strike which takes out the first pillar. That pillar was obliterated and that's why the view is clear to see ship between the pairs of pillars. When the second pillar is damaged the bridge can no longer be held up.
@@JJayzXYou are right. I got confused. First pillar to touch and break was the one north.
Jeffoffstoff, if you look again I believe that those dolphins were for the telecommunication towers that are parallel to the bridge. Likely why they were so small. Comm towers had bumpers/concrete barriers but the bridge didnt. Priorities in 1970 I guess.
Bless you Jeff for being one of our modern Dragnet Sgt Joe Friday's "Just the facts" guys along with so many others like Neil de Grasse Tyson. The more we have, the more we quash the 'disinformation mafia'! Keep it up! 👍
They said the weight on the front has it sitting on the bottom and I agree it’s diffidently tipped
Maybe I am too pragmatic, but I would say this is a great learning opportunity, rather than fodder for gossip and conspiracy theories
Excellent video. Thank you. I really enjoy listening to you.
I appreciate that!
Thank you for these explanations of tragedies. It takes an engineer to sort the problems. Waiting for the next video. From Florida USA.
I've seen a lot of comments from people talking about the "sharp right turn". I think this is a perspective problem - looking at the video, the camera is not pointed straight down the channel running under the bridge. It's southWEST of pillar the MV Dali struck, so it "looks" like the ship took a sharp right turn, but it didn't.
The track from AIS shows a gradual drift to starboard, which (to me, at least), would be consistent with other forces - current (water was flowing out of the river and harbor as it was about an hour before low tide), wind (winds were very light to non-existent, from what I've read, but stacked full of containers the MV Dali would present a very large sail area, depending on where the winds were coming from) and possible (incorrect) corrective actions.
It'll be interesting to see the final report from the NTSB.
no it wont be interesting because the ntsb is gonna read whatevr script theyve been handed. There was definitely a right turn into the direction of the bridge pillar, and a large amount of fuel was dumped into the cylinders, this is obvious by the black smoke, just prior to "loosing control",

UA-camr, Luke McFadden, had a good explanation of why the ship started to veer starboard right before the point of impact. When the power came back on before the ship lost power for the second time, the captain probably put it in full reverse. With the size of the massive propellers on the ship turning counter-clockwise, the stern of the ship starts to "walk" to the left and with the continued forward motion of the ship, it starts to drift right. That's probably why you see the massive smoke cloud coming from the engines, because of the full reverse.
@@thehark6247 No there was not, and the black smoke was from the attempted restart of the ship's engines, not some evil plot by the government/Ukraine/China or whatever flavor of asinine conspiracy theory you may subscribe to.
You want to know why I think the crash was not intentional? Look at all the video footage after the ship crashed, the ship almost missed the bridge entirely and only hit the support beam, due to the ship's overhang.
Again, the main video we see of the crash makes it look like the crash was intentional due to the camera's angle.
As for the smoke, again this was from the attempt to restart the ship's engines.
The Dali uses a diesel powered engine and as such when it restarts it needs to clean the engine out from build up.
This isn't like the internal combustion engine in your car, if you ever wondered why a semi truck sometimes sits idling on the side of the road and now and then you see smoke come out of it, this is why.
In any case there are many other signs this was likely an accident such as:
The crew being able to radio warning that the ship could potentially hit the ship.
The crew attempting to restore power in the short amount of time they had and the time all this happened.
If this was some kind of plot why the hell do it at 1:00AM when there's minimal traffic, if the goal was to kill as many people as possible they sure as hell did a bad job.
Now maybe if the goal was to cause economic problems then maybe you would have a point but still all this will do is cause inconveniences that while have some impact on our economy, but it's not going to cause markets to crash.
Maybe a little economic downturn, but it's very recoverable.
In any case this all looks like an accident to me given all the information I have on the matter.
Not by "the liberal left wing communist media" but by videos like this that have no political biases.
I assure you this is not an attack by (insert thing I'm told to hate here)
Sorry, no Martian invasion here.
It could have also been in the process of correcting a drift to port when steering power was lost. You need to oversteer slightly before the ship ‘answers’.
It’s interesting to note that the conspiracy theorists usually demonstrate profound ignorance of how the system they are commenting on actually works.
I am not surprised the camera didn't send out data from the last minute.
These are traffic cameras, not real time action cameras. Most likely they record and buffer the data, so it's not exactly real time, so if it loses power you can lose what was recorded but not yet compressed and sent out.
For their intended purpose, seeing how bad the traffic is, delays of minute or two don't really matter.
G'Day from Australia ... This occurrence with the Baltimore bridge is a tragic accident.
Hopefully, the reason how and why this occurred will surface.
My condolences to those who have lost loved ones.
May the lives lost RIP
Man you are right on with this! Great work!!!
Looking at the tiktokker video it looks to me the video starts after the ship has already hit the first pillar. You can see the right side of the bow stand out as bright, which matches the tear in the hull we can later see in the daytime photos.
They LIE and say that the ship lost power but you need power to turn the the ship and the ship turned and headed straight for the bridge support.
FYI it had electrical issues before the hit. You can clearly see it had lost power twice before it hit. I heard they were working on electrical problems in port for days.
this is a distraction again, nothing to do with the share turn onto target just like The MSM or Government accounts are making no actual sense at all?, if a ship loses power to the propeller while on the course the ship will continue it was on before the loss of engine power, the weight and momentum of such a heavy ship will never turn like the video shows. Remember the ship's electrical supply is from one of several electricity generators that these Ships electronic Autopilot controlling the hydraulic motors on the Rudder will keep working keeping the ship on the course set by the Harbour Pilot, remember that the ship was on course to pass under the bridge when the lights went off, without electric power to the Autopilot the rudder will remain on the set course while it was adjusting course for any wind or current variations, then when the lights (electric power) came on again the ship auto-pilot would automatically resume the original course settings before the power loss, But! The video showing the sharp turn onto the target had nothing to do with the lights, or Autopilot or wind or currants proves The HUMAN FINGERPRINT is all over this deliberate turn into the Bridge. Heavy smoke from the engine funnel is caused by a sudden increase in fuel to the engine that provided strong water pushed onto the now hard-turned-to Starboard rudder? Who changed the course of the Rudder? Then again the ship's rudder was adjusted to Port to stop the sharp-turning ship because the ship needed to make a direct hit not a glancing blow against the target. The MSM accomplices never talk about the sharp turn onto the Pier, and try saying see how the ship started to turn slowly away from the Pier, but sadly too late to avoid hitting the Pier. Sure sounds like a Government cover-up for whatever their reason is this was the intentional closure of America's 5th biggest port! (Now MSM are saying it is just the 19th largest Port?) No question about that! But was it the US Government extremists or their FBI, or CIA! Did Terrorists sneak on board and overpower the crew? Was it blackmail of the Harbour Pilots and captains and engineers, no matter why? It is “who are they” that must be discovered because 6 people are dead because of this deliberate act by some of the People on this ship!!!!!!!
The changing tide combined with wind would be enough to cause the drift to the right. A comparison would be wind sheer pushing against a semi and trailer crossing a bridge. With no power, the pilot would have no way of contracting the drift.
I don't care what nobody say but it is very fishy.
@dannelliawoodley8239 there's nothing fishy about it. What people don't seem to get is that anything with that much weight moving can't be stopped on a dime like a small vehicle. Especially in the water. The ship lost power and drifted. Current, tide and wind can all be factors. Planes train ship all have to plan ahead to maneuver according to conditions. Losing power will affect many things. We won't know what happened for a while yet. It's usually a chain of events that go wrong.
Great report thank you!
Thank you for the new videos.
Glad you like them!
This has got to be orchestrated. Im not surprised the government is footing the bill and i wonder which construction company gets the no-bid contract. I would like to know which politician the CEO or owner of that company has ties with. Its not a conspiracy. This happens a lot in govenment. They term "payola" exists for a reason.
No the Russians didn't hack the HDMI cables, but the thought of that is hilarious 😂
Putin has his hands full. More likely the CCP
Most of the electronics on Dali would be Chinese & they have many reasons for checking how much damage they can do - just ask Kristin Noem
Totally respect those people out there cleaning up this mess. Very hard and dangerous work if they aren't careful.
I don't think the video just happened to stop right before the bridge fell, I think they deleted it.
Not showing it out of respect for the families
Just maybe some of those so-called "conspiracy" theorists he speaks of deleted it.
I can tell you facts. This accident would not have happened if those tugs would have stayed with the ship till they got past any important structures and out to open seas.
$2 billion accident caused by complacency. Sure wouldn't have hurt.
Good video sir. Thank you for your work.
Thanks and welcome
Much appreciated from the UK ❤️
I dont understand why the DPW crew didn’t have a radio for safety purposes so they could have been warned. They had about 4 minutes that the officer was going to go warn them after another car came to relieve him. This was totally avoidable. Im praying for all the families involved
I live right by the bridge. I took it twice a day for 14 years. I went to see the wreckage and it's like visiting a graveyard. To know that there's guys trapped underneath all of that just breaks my heart. I hope they retrieve their bodies ASAP so their families can have some closure.
They might not be moving as much as you think if they're on a barge that has a crane on since the barge would be locked in place using spuds.
This whole thing is so surreal having driven on the bridge before.
So what is it, Mr. engineer, a piling, a pillar or a pylon? Most engineers prefer to use the right word for a structural component.
The correct term is "Bridge Pier". I have no idea why he thinks they were not solid concrete.
Because some aren't solid. You can find videos on them and look online. Looks like many have rebar or steel in them. I'm not sure how those on that bridge were constructed. I did see some videos of that bridge with hallow cores. Wasn't sure what part of the bridge they were showing. Think it would be interesting to see how they constructed this bridge. I'm not disagreeing with you. Just don't know how this bridge was made. @jayshaw63
@@jayshaw63they were not solid. You can clearly see the collapsed/pancaked remnants in the pictures. You could also look up the structural drawings.
Mr. Engineer is too busy calling others who don't take the "official" narrative as truth and decide to do some critical thinking, conspiracy theorist. Me thinks the gupment paid him to spout the last 3 minutes of his video.
wow, that's a pretty sharp turn at the last minute for such a huge tanker
How else are you going to take out a bridge and make it look like an accident? 🤔
Very good analysis and interesting footage and photos
I find it very unlikely that the bridge camera feed didn’t capture any of the collapse. I think that someone had it deleted right at the start of the collapse. I could be wrong but it seems like at least a little deflection of the bridge would be necessary to sever the conduits.
Gotta say this video released by CNN does not align with the original video of the crash. In the original video several cars are crossing the bridge with the last few crossing MOMENTS before the ship hits. In this video the ridge is literally a ghost town when the ship enters the video screen and if you don't see ANY cars on the bridge in either side. Compare the two videos, one of them is a fake video. Watch the first video, clearly cars going both directions last one leaves the bridge with about 5 seconds until impact and this one shows ZERO cars even before the CNN video shows no cars even before the ship enters the screen and then takes over 5 seconds to make impact. Which video is real and why a fake video?
That video was sped up
LMFAO, the video was sped up and played at (I believe 6x speed)
Thank you. Great info.
Never ascribe to malice which can be explained by incompetency. (a quote from a history Prof of my youth) Blind, Dumb, and Bad Luck are really a thing. Accidents sometimes really happen. Then again we live in an age where strange events are happening. All things can be factors or possible. This is why we wait to see what comes out in the investigations. I've got my thoughts on this event but I'll keep those to myself, until more data is released. Good video as always Jeff. Subscribed to your channel right after the Condo collapse in Surfside.
Who’s paying you to run interference.
So people who think outside the box are idiots? Honey, the only difference between us Conspiracy Theorists and reality is 6 months. Can't wait until the real facts come out!
Yup. And the Tuskegee Experiments were fiction /s 🙄
This guys true colors come out in the last 3 minutes of video.
