I just love the music, and of course the video, but can't place the music! Sounds like Lord of the Rings but I am pretty sure it's not! It sounds like it could be Bach or Beethoven! Can you tell us what the music is? Thank you Jeff, as always an outstanding video!
It's a true testament to how well they build these ships. The fact the bow wasn't sheared off or otherwise separated from the rest of the ship, is remarkable. Hats off to all the folks who have worked diligently to free Dali and clean up the wreckage of the bridge.
Actually, I think bridges are built to fall apart under certain circumstances, but in sections. In most cases, losing 1 section is preferable that taking the entire bridge down. In the MV Dali case, though, I (as an uneducated guess) think because the Dali missed the dolphin and hit at a point high enough to impact the brace before the cement base, so much lateral torque was transferred to the framework that it totally failed. If you watch one of the earliest videos, you can see that when Dali impacted, the support brace between the bridge and the cement base structure failed - the bridge frame fell onto the base structure, just as the Dali caused that to fail as well. What I thought was interesting was that there were only 1 or 2 brackets (maybe 1 or 2 per traffic direction) between the bridge framework and the base structure. If that's true, they might have also been weakened of time after 50 years of weather and traffic. Anyway, once that (those) braces failed, and the underlying support base collapsed, the rest of the bridge was drug down until the failing force exceeded the connecting strength capacity - you can see that in the initial (failure sequence) video. I'd imagine the weight of the bridge itself caused almost all of the damage. The Dali was stopped almost instantly by the initial impact started the chain reaction.
Its amazing how they saved this ship from nearly certain devastation. I applaud all those workers who worked day and night to clear the harbor, and to the crew who was so devoted to her salvation.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍💕
I think the way the entire Bridge collapse has been handled is remarkable for the compassion to lives lost, the promise to recover the lost workers and to open the port back up. All the seamen, Coast Guard, divers, ship crew, salvage crew, tugboat people, and all the others have worked so hard and done such a fantastic job all while keeping safety of everyone involved the main concern. Congratulations on a job well done!!!
I had no idea what tugs did. This has me glued to my screen every time I see footage of the Dali being so gently and methodically moved by these incredibly talented tug crews. It still just blows my mind how they do this.
Ditto. My opinion is that the tug, barge, demolition and salvage crews are the people who deserve all of the credit - not the "Unified Command." That group of blow-hards might have been yelping their horns for the cameras, but I'd bet the progress would have been as speedy, if not faster, without the bureaucratic posturing - the crews certainly didn't need instructions from bureaucrats to know what to do, or how to do it. I mean, really - they were working as a finely tuned, well oiled, orchestra (if you'll pardon the mixed metaphor :)) from day 1.
Maryland rocks-they focused first on recovery and families. And the tasks of clean up. A proud Marylander from South Florida-all the teams are amazing!
Great information with no 'fluff'. The stark reality of the disaster that took place but to see the 'coming together' of machine and mankind to make this port almost ready to go 'full steam ahead' soon. TY
I have such an affinity for the Dali. She’s incredible. I can’t believe that she’s still afloat with literally TONS of roadway and bridge girders on her bow as well as the tons of cargo containers. Luckily she was not loaded to capacity (perhaps helping her with the weight of the bow debris). Half of her bow crushed and missing and who knows what damage to her hull where she made contact with the bridge footing. Can’t even imagine the damage from the impact of the bridge and roadway falling on her. I hope we still get updates on her rehabilitation at Norfolk. She needs A LOT of TLC, she’s been through quite an ordeal.
The only thing that saved her was that the sea (river) bed was only 30-40ft deep at the support. She was squished between the weight of the debris and the muddy bottom. Luckily it was directly downward, or her bow would probably twisted off under the stress
thanks Jeff. see 533 working on the dali again yesterday. Really appreciate your films in the uk. Great that Wes thanked the tug captains personally yesterday too. caroline
4 downloaded videos, 230+ stills and screenshots since March 26th. 10 screenshots from this video. All to look back on from time to time for the rest of my life. Wish me luck on retaining em that long. Thank you Jeff. 👍🤠
I'm not good at identifying music, but it sounded like the old Victory at Sea films playing. Thanks for sharing the clear videos and pictures. Still a lot of work to do for the cranes and crews. So far they have accomplished more than I ever expected. I get a little upset when some commentors say nothing is happening. Those are the people that need to go out there and try their hand at doing it!
Unsung heros!!! 🎉 A similar kind of tugboat crew helped guide the battleship New Jersey from its berth in Camden, NJ to it drydock location in Philadelphia.
All that terrible damage, and they slid it into the dock like it was no big thing. I hope the crew finally gets to go home, I wonder if that ship will ever be ocean worthy again...
Would love to see how these ships are engineered to hold all the weight of containers,why the top heavy ship doesn't tip over,what holds everything together etc. etc. Thanks Jeffo.
Containers are loaded following a plan. And not just by the time they arrive at the dock. So heavy ones go down the holds first. And they are also distributed evenly along the ships full length. This is all done by computer to get the ships center of gravity not over its metacenter's height. The metacenter is basically the axis the ship's hull is rotating about according to its shape of the cross section. So if a ship rolls to one side the forces from the displaced water on the hull's shape try to right it up again. If the c.o.g. is below that metacenter the ship will recover. If not it capsizes. All a matter of simple physics. One container may have very different weight from another. Only because they look alike they don't weigh the same. One might have Unobtainium in it the other styrofoam insulation sheets. Think filling moving cartons with books or with a duvet. One you will not be able to lift the other you will do with ease. And those filled with books go down deep in the cargo holds and not under the captain's nose at the top level. The light weight of many containers is actually the reason you see them stacked up so high. Conventional cargo ships never had the cargo going so high. At max they had some light stuff on deck 10 feet or so high.
@user-sm3xq5ob5d There is a problem with the loading of container ships when they at the ports where they are loading full containers. This happens especially in the far east and in some ports in Europe and other Countries. Not all containers are weighed before loading onto the ship. The containers documents are obtained from the shipping agent and weights are stated on the bill of ladings and other loading documents. Certain countries in the far east have load restrictions on several highways, because heavy weights damage the road, so the weights of the loaded containers are altered so they can be transported on the highway to the port to be loaded onto the ship. If this is done with hundreds of containers then the ship is effectively overloaded to below the calculated draft marks. This creates hugh problems for ship's officers and Master of ship because certain heavy containers must offloaded from the ship in order not be overloaded. This is a time consuming and expensive exercise that involves many container moves. The reason it is done in Europe and other countries is to try get away with paying less to ship a full container that has its declared weight less than its actual weight.
Thanks So Much for sharing All this Wonderful Footage .... The 'Dramaitic Music' fiited just so well ..... I am sure that there Many Many Folks and Companies that are so waiting for the Items to Arrive and/or be On the Way by Now ..... :-) :-) :-) Best to ALL from ChCh, NZ
Really nice job Jeff. Also, to your question a couple weeks ago about how they cut that 2 foot concrete pillar on the deck of the Dali, believe they used a Diamond Rope Saw.
Amazing! You know already about what I'm about to say. This whole ordeal is a learning experience. One I hope all the world makes updates to warning and protection against another tragedy like this. Two, the loss of any life, and the impact it has, three, a quick, cheap solution for evacuating a bridge in danger for maintenance workers such as sirens or strobe effect lighting could have offered them a chance. I can't believe how in those couple of minutes how local authorities were able to clear up civilian traffic, image if when the initial alarm was activated, some horns and lights warned everyone around to high tail it outta there. If anyone makes money on this idea, I expect monatary compensation.
Yea, you're absolutely correct about how that "bumper" at the base of those bridge supports offer absolutely no protection to the support against a modern cargo ship such as the Dali since the "beam" dimension of that vessel is 158'. That "bumper" would need to be at least half of that dimension to offer any protection. Those bumpers look like they didn't extend more than 10' from the support columns. Not to mention how those steel reinforced concrete columns were "demolished" by the ship traveling only 8 knots. Some much more effective safety procedures need to be established when these "behemoths" are traveling around our infrastructure.
Another case connected here, MV Viking Sky 23.3.2019. DG3 was down awaiting replacement, DG2 started showing low lube, topped up, then DG1 and DG4. A storm was rolling in when she lost power causing stabilisers to retract. A short break saw DG1 & 2 recover then fail, and EG kick in. Both anchors were dropped but didn't hold, wind onshore, recovered by adding oil to sump. Restart procedures got DG2 restarted then engines, and DG4 &1. Everything ran in manual. She was eventually tug-assisted. Lessons not learned, VS shouldn't have sailed.
The Longshoreman for the Port of Baltimore: Why the hell did you bring it over here? We don't know anything about lifting up partially demolished highways! BWT, hats off the the Unified Command on a job well done!
All those concerned with freeing the Dali and then moving it back to the port did a magnificent job. The tugboat crews in particular showed their absolute professional skills. It has to be said, the Unified Command and all the people involved in sorting this incident out has shown the world how to safely and skillfully clear a marine disaster site and recover a huge and damaged vessel back to port.
A lot of companies paid to put cargo on that ship expecting it to be delivered. I'd like to know if all the cargo is going to be transferred to another ship in one go? Or is some of it perishable and has to be discarded? Or have any shippers changed their minds? Are there any interesting hard luck stories this caused for shippers?
Great footage.. I am super curious to know what happens now with all the containers? Do they all get opened and cargo checked for damage?? What is this full process going to be? Will customers eventually get their items?
Were they running the main engine of the Dali? Was the ship providing any of the propulsion to move here? I ask because there is exhaust visible coming from the Dali's stacks and others have commented that they saw prop wash visible around the stern of the Dali.
I wish there had been a bow time lapse showing it rise as they started offloading ballast. As for wood, I thought that was meant as a buffer between a ship and the cement base in case of a glancing blow. I don't think it was meant to actually stop the ship. Just guessing, though.
When I looked at the most recent drone video from minorcanmullet I think it’s only still afloat because of the containers that acted like airbags. When you look at the damage that occurred when the bridge contacted the deck and the smaller damage when it struck the containers I believe it would have cut the bow down to the waterline if not more. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this?
The blackout on the dock was due to the generators tripping because someone closed the wrong exhaust damper. The blackout at the Key Bridge was because the step down transformer tripped - the generators stayed online throughout (just not connected to the ships low voltage grid). It was in the Coast Guard report.
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
Thanks for sharing. What we need now is a montage of the whole disaster, from when the ship went dark to her being docked at the Seagirt terminal. Do we know anyone who might be up to the task?

Can you please post a link to the source of the music at the end. I would like to add it to my playlist. Choosing it to end this series was a stroke of genius. The music is set to a sonar beacon. Thank you Jeff !
They will either smash it with a wrecking ball and grappl it off, or use a huge diamond chain cable saw to slice it into smaller sections and rig and crane it off
I reckon they'll do it in the repair dock, not at the container terminal where the ship sits now. Most likely the bow needs to be cut off anyway as there is deep structural damage, not something which can be fixed with some hull patches. Major effort to build a new bow, it's not something from the shelf. Maybe it will be built at another wharf and transported to the repair wharf in sections.
Do we know what the command structure was for this operation? In particular who was giving the orders to the tugs? Is there an audio of this channel during the process ?
As I watch this video, it occurs to me that all of the accommodations and crew spaces are in the superstructure below the bridge. With the containers stacked as they are, it looks like only the bridge level has any windows. Doesn't seem very pleasant for a long voyage.
Mushy girl comment: There's something very moving in the images of Dali, so wounded and surreal with a stretch of four-lane road draped across its bow, and all the tugboats. Now, a serious question: Do I see exhaust coming out of the Dali's smokestack? What's that from? Was she providing some propulsion or is that from generators?
I noticed that there was smoke from the stacks. I guess that was from generators for electricity but I have not noticed this as the Dali was just sitting being worked on. Does anyone know if the ship was dark until the move?
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
There may be other videos on the engineering circumstances concerning the power failures or as NTSB releases new info. There isn't likely to be much more for me to cover until new designs are presented for a replacement bridge. I still have many other engineering disaster that I had been waiting to make videos of, along with the DIY remodeling projects.
Pretty cool footage ,but ya know i still cant help but wonder ,why only one truck being pulled up as surly for a 7 or 8 man crew they had to of had more then one truck..
Jeff, yesterday you showed show footage early in the morning with the bow sitting lower in the water and as it moved away from where it rested the "rake" disappeared. Capt Andy's footage looked the same. Didn't look like we're off loading water ballast. Anything from your sources that might explain?
No one could point to definitely where water was being let out of Dali, although several people claimed you could see it dumping out of the bow, but it was a metal truss piece sticking up out of the water. I could not see any evidence of them emptying the ballast, but unified command said night before they would empty 1.25 million gallons
I should think that anyone who has stuff in those containers is now seeing their delivery is possible ..What a shake up in the market this whole thing has been..

I don't think they are going to waste much time in moving ahead with the new bridge. The Baltimore tunnels are getting backed up with traffic. The design process should already be going.. A new bridge could be up in 3 years if no delays, optimistically . If they could put a small park at one end, commemorating the men who died and the old bridge it would be worthwhile

Finally got to watch on big screen. Loved this video. Also realized with sound up that she isn't being towed to a "secret" terminal 😂
all nice & good. but, what is the state of the unload of dale? also what is the state of the removal of the roadway from the bow area?
they decided to keep the roadway on the bow as a reminder

Were they running the main engine of the Dali? Was the ship providing any of the propulsion to move here? I ask because there is exhaust visible coming from the Dali's stacks and others have commented that they saw prop wash visible around the stern of the Dali.
I wish there had been a bow time lapse showing it rise as they started offloading ballast.
As for wood, I thought that was meant as a buffer between a ship and the cement base in case of a glancing blow. I don't think it was meant to actually stop the ship. Just guessing, though.
Excellent video and where did you get the music from?
Love to know what's all in those containers!
I thought the music added a great deal-this was very historical and dramatic event. Thanks for Sharing!
When I looked at the most recent drone video from minorcanmullet I think it’s only still afloat because of the containers that acted like airbags. When you look at the damage that occurred when the bridge contacted the deck and the smaller damage when it struck the containers I believe it would have cut the bow down to the waterline if not more. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this?
Stupid question. But was the Dali unable to move under her own power without the tows? Just wondering if she is still powerless.
So, whats going on with the Dali now? I suppose they are removing the roadway and perhaps unloading containers that need to go places?
so what happens to the cargo now???
From what I heard the governor say, the ship was actually not fit to go to sea. There were full blackouts at while still alongside the wharf.
The blackout on the dock was due to the generators tripping because someone closed the wrong exhaust damper. The blackout at the Key Bridge was because the step down transformer tripped - the generators stayed online throughout (just not connected to the ships low voltage grid).
It was in the Coast Guard report.
Are they unloading the containers? How much is the cleanup costing?
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
Thanks for sharing. What we need now is a montage of the whole disaster, from when the ship went dark to her being docked at the Seagirt terminal. Do we know anyone who might be up to the task?
hmmmmmmm I know a guy
Will the ship be repaired or scrapped?
Are they going to offload all the containers?
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
Great music!
Music to my ears! Thanks for tuning in.
Can you please post a link to the source of the music at the end. I would like to add it to my playlist.
Choosing it to end this series was a stroke of genius. The music is set to a sonar beacon.
Thank you Jeff !
It was a bit strange. People said they were pumping water out of the bow before they could finally move it. Whose music? Yours or the Unified Command?
I get my music from Storyblocks
thanks!
I think I saw exhaust smoke from the DALI's stack.
Any Ideas on how they are going to get that roadway oof the deck, to me sure looks like lots of stuff will fall off if it's picked up!
They will either smash it with a wrecking ball and grappl it off, or use a huge diamond chain cable saw to slice it into smaller sections and rig and crane it off
I reckon they'll do it in the repair dock, not at the container terminal where the ship sits now. Most likely the bow needs to be cut off anyway as there is deep structural damage, not something which can be fixed with some hull patches. Major effort to build a new bow, it's not something from the shelf. Maybe it will be built at another wharf and transported to the repair wharf in sections.
EPIC TUNES ACTIVATED!
The last tune sounded as if it were set to a sonar beacon. I will ask Jeff for a link to the source.

Are the tugs doing all the work or is the dali providing some power also?
tugs only
@@jeffostroff thank u
Do we know if the Dali assisted with any engine power after she was refloated? Or was it only tugboats?
only tugboats
Is the Dali's propulsion engines assisting the tugs or is she still a dead stick?
Do we know what the command structure was for this operation? In particular who was giving the orders to the tugs? Is there an audio of this channel during the process ?
Some of captains were having a hard time finding the audio on the normal channels during this move.
I had no idea this had even happened 😮 I'm going to watch all your videos on it now - it feels kinda sad and I don't know why
As I watch this video, it occurs to me that all of the accommodations and crew spaces are in the superstructure below the bridge. With the containers stacked as they are, it looks like only the bridge level has any windows. Doesn't seem very pleasant for a long voyage.
yes definitely not a cruise ship, even them many crew cabins on cruise ships have no windows
Mushy girl comment: There's something very moving in the images of Dali, so wounded and surreal with a stretch of four-lane road draped across its bow, and all the tugboats. Now, a serious question: Do I see exhaust coming out of the Dali's smokestack? What's that from? Was she providing some propulsion or is that from generators?
Yes, generators are on to supply power to ship, but not sure main engine was online
Looks like the Port Anchor was removed...
I noticed that there was smoke from the stacks. I guess that was from generators for electricity but I have not noticed this as the Dali was just sitting being worked on. Does anyone know if the ship was dark until the move?
Wonder if they will take all the containers off onto the dock and store them there? or just transfer them onto a different outbound ship?
I heard going to outbound ships, then Dali transfers over to Norfolk, VA for repairs
@@jeffostroff thank you, Sir.
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
Jeff, is it possible for them to somehow repair that ship or is it destined for the scrapyard?
After unloading they will limp it to Norfolk, VA for repairs
@@jeffostroff Thank you.
Does this episode mark the conclusion of Jeff's ongoing analysis of this disaster?
There may be other videos on the engineering circumstances concerning the power failures or as NTSB releases new info. There isn't likely to be much more for me to cover until new designs are presented for a replacement bridge. I still have many other engineering disaster that I had been waiting to make videos of, along with the DIY remodeling projects.
Roadway !!!
Pretty cool footage ,but ya know i still cant help but wonder ,why only one truck being pulled up as surly for a 7 or 8 man crew they had to of had more then one truck..
Jeff, yesterday you showed show footage early in the morning with the bow sitting lower in the water and as it moved away from where it rested the "rake" disappeared. Capt Andy's footage looked the same. Didn't look like we're off loading water ballast. Anything from your sources that might explain?
No one could point to definitely where water was being let out of Dali, although several people claimed you could see it dumping out of the bow, but it was a metal truss piece sticking up out of the water. I could not see any evidence of them emptying the ballast, but unified command said night before they would empty 1.25 million gallons
@@jeffostroff Maybe that's why the Dali sat there for hours secured by tug boats before they tossed it away?
I'm so amazed that ship can even hold up that amount of concrete.
laws of buoyancy are amazing
I should think that anyone who has stuff in those containers is now seeing their delivery is possible ..What a shake up in the market this whole thing has been..
have they started removing the rest of the containers?
The spot they parked Dali in is not under the cranes so not sure what they will do
Most of the containers are empty for return to India. The rest weren't unloaded because they needed weight on the ship so it could pass under the Chesapeake Bay bridge at Annapolis. If unloaded it would have been too high on the water to pass under the bridge.
I don't think they are going to waste much time in moving ahead with the new bridge. The Baltimore tunnels are getting backed up with traffic. The design process should already be going.. A new bridge could be up in 3 years if no delays, optimistically . If they could put a small park at one end, commemorating the men who died and the old bridge it would be worthwhile
Have the crew of Dali been leave the ship?
Do your research. The info is public knowledge
I’d imagine their is tons of debris at the bottom of the river. I hope that claw is still aval
