videos like this are so fascinating to watch, because this line of work is something you rarely see hear or about for that matter.
As a former Marine Engineer I can imagine what was going on in the Engine Room there isn't any more helplessness that an engine refusing to start. One of the videos shows heavy black smoke when the crew try to restart. The Motor Vessel has to use Diesel for maneuvering and going to black oil for cruising at a constant speed this is the nightmare of all times for the black gang.
I know someone with a recreational sized houseboat that smashed three boats when it's engine stalled. I felt so sorry for him. When it comes to marine parts and service, the expense adds up quickly.
What I question is when the Port Captains knew of the electrical back out and couldn't immediately restart the engines and supposedly dropped the port anchor why did the ship take a hard starboard turn into the bridge structure?
What made the engine go out and why no generators? This would seem to be a HUGE deficiency on the part of the ship's management. I can't believe this is an every day occurrence or else we're in even worse danger than we thought. I also wonder if there is any evidence of foul play (hacking) of their system. You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to wonder.
‘Black gang’ ??
@@pushslice The term black gang comes from when coal was still used for firing boilers and to a lesser extent early oil-fired boilers. The coal dust and sot would get everywhere and turn everything black. So when the crews from the engineering spaces would come up from below. They would be black, clothes, skin, hair, everything. Add to that and the word gang can be used to denote a group of people and you get Black Gang used to describe members of a ship's crew that worked in the engine rooms, fire rooms, coal bunkers, boiler rooms and or any place that gave the ship power to operate.
Damn. I have family in Baltimore. Some take that bridge every day to and from work. I was born and raised.i haven't been back in years. I am glad that my family is ok. My prayers go out to those who lost their lives on the bridge that night.
Thank God it happened early a.m. and not rush hour. My sympathy to the 6 that lost their lives, the two survivors that have for to be seriously freaked out and all their loved ones. But just imagine this happened during peak traffic. No way the cops could have gotten all the traffic stopped. It's a tragedy and huge miracle all in one
@@rickbusch7911I WAS JUST THINKING 😢ABOUT THAT LIKE WOW
A credit to all for stopping the traffic for getting on the bridge 👍👍👍 The outcome could have been worse. Many lives were saved. Heart goes out to those who lost their lives and to their families. Let us not forget the emergency crews ❤️❤️
Lucky too that it was early a.m., and not rush hour. While it's sad for the six that lost their lives and the families, I think we all know how bad this could have turned out. Sure, it's causing backups in shipping and goods being received, but so what- small price to pay to me anyway.
credit to the captain fast thinking
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@DaTripper the captain's fast thinking he couldn't see the freaking Bridge there's nothing to impede his view. That bridge is huge it could have been a downpour and he would still be able to see it not to mention the equipment you know GPS, radar ,satellite systems. They must be doing drug testing
@@rickbusch7911the loss of that cargo is the least of this shipping container companies problems. They are responsible for six people's death. After the families get done with them. Then Baltimore can sue them for the bridge
These teams are under enormous pressure to reopen the harbor. Millions lost every day it is closed. I pray for their safety in accomplishing a monumental task.
Have a great video ❤❤ Amazing
100 million per day
They've got a lot of eyes on then right now, and all the arm chair experts second guessing their every step. Plus the pressure to get what they need to done quickly so crews can get in and recover the bodies,remove wreckage and get the waterway opened. I do not envy them in any way.
I'm gonna laugh if the state of Maryland has to cut payments to retired workers because of this accident. Pension funds rule state and local governments. LOL
Capitalism baby...deregulation results is lower standards and more accidents...taxpayers will be on the hook for paying for all this damage
It could have been worse. The ship didn't catch on fire.
Not yet, the ship is full of dangerous chemicals!
And it didn't happen during rush hour when the bridge would have been crowded.
@@hermanfurlong6752❤❤❤ Amazing very nice ❤❤ good work
@@Gamble661very very nice ship ❤❤❤ Hard Working
The container with my Amazon package didn't fall off and sink. So much worse !
Great footage. Thanks NTSB.
Praise these men who are working in dangerous conditions to assess the damage and try and fix it
and women
There's a woman there too
Men & Women are working . I imagine they are getting paid good money too. That's a High Risk Job.
All they're doing is gathering info/documentation for the investigation. Then the engineers/salvage experts and who knows who else (I sure don't) will go at it. Gonna be a whole lotta people involved, probably too many getting in each other's way with the bureaucrats involved trying to get their few seconds of Fame. I only hope they let the right people do the job correctly, and not rush em into cutting corners and putting more lives at stake.
how do you know for certain?@@northernbrother1258
I dont know why they bother gathering any kind of evidence or even do an investigation, pretty much a waste of time. They should come straight to the comments section, the you tube experts have got it all figured out.
yup ! I've decided i'm going to be a self appointed armchair admiral
I'm going to bet my uneducated mind that it was a fuel issue...
===============================
I hope this can be resolved soon - could have been a lot worse. I hope that the bridge can be rebuilt quickly. RIP to the road workers. Shout out to roadworkers everywhere for working in dangerous conditions keeping roads safe and open.
True story... Lots of phony experts here!!
@@JCD275 . Yes. Could have been easily a major disaster that was avoided. I don't want to take anything away from the people that lost their lives, or the loss of loved ones- my sympathy goes out to all. But if this would have happened middle of the day, recovery efforts would be going on for a long time. There's going to be(o.k., already is) a whole lot of finger pointing and second guessing going on , buy unless it was gross misconduct involved, just a very sad accident. With so many things, the weak link or the answer to avoiding something like this comes from an incident happening. Going forward I would imagine safeguards and protocols will look way different.
youtube experts are the scourge of modern intelligence.
@@foppo101read the rest of his comment. His joke is referring to u
They'll get it sorted.
Regards to the families of the lost.
The steelin the mile long bridge is slightly thicker than a fifty-five oil drum holy fck
Thickness of the steel becomes less relevant. In this case, the bridge would have collapsed, even if the thickness was 5 times thicker. It was a direct hit. @@billhillyer334
@@billhillyer334 okay professor
I get it snorted also
Wow, imagine being on the ship and seeing what you just did.
Oh man. I feel bad for those lost, their loved ones, and those on the ship.
There are 22 Shipmen I heard on the Dali Ship who work on it.
@@KingfishStevens-di9ji. Well geez, I guess they don't matter
@@KingfishStevens-di9jistop with that nonsense
nothing they did. Accident lost power and they tried their best to stop it including informing the traffic control.
@@edkk2010actually, they left the port knowing there was power issues. They could have stayed. It’s not the crews fault for the ship collision. Also, it was a bad decision to leave the port anyways. Like what if they were ok through the key bridge and Chesapeake and then 600+ miles in the ocean power was gone. So crew could have prevented by stay in at the port knowing there was issues, but the ship crashing was not their fault.
It's one of the most surreal things I ever saw on video. My heart goes out to those who were lost in this tragedy. It's truly a miracle that Bridge traffic was stopped to prevent further loss. What a horrible huge thing to clean up. It's a monumental task for sure.
This is a video of people taking photos, not a video of the damage.
As a merchant marine engineer, reading this comment section is painful! We don’t know what happened the only people who do know what happened was the ships crew and the pilot. From what I see they lost a genset or something else that caused an electrical failure. They didn’t lose the main engine. Steering on a ship works just like steering on a boat. You have at least two hydraulic pumps driven by regular old 3 phase AC induction motors. You only need one but you always have at least one backup incase of a failure. The same goes for gensets. Lose electrical power and you lose steering, air compressors, ect. You basically lose the entire vessel. Now at some point after the first power failure the ship went to full astern propulsion. Whether it had a direct reversing engine or a controllable pitch wheel I don’t know. If it was a direct reversing engine then I think we can safely say someone ordered full astern. Whether or not this was the correct decision I can’t say. It’s easy to say had they not backed down on it they would have made it through the bridge but because of the crosswind and the fact we haven’t seen a head on video we don’t know. Now if the ship had a controllable pitch prop then a loss of electrical power will cause some systems to go into full reverse pitch. Either way the hard backing down is clearly evident in the video both from the black smoke and the prop walk pulling the stern to port. Once again without a centerline view we can’t know if the ship was going to go through the bridge or it was already getting set.
Speechless. . . . .
Dali has to be a solid vessel, if you can drop a mile long bridge on it and it can take the hit.
The bow is resting on the river bed.
ITS A OLD RUSTED BRIDGE THAT HAS BEEN HODGED PODGED FOR YRS!! I USE TO LIVE THERE AND IT'S A DUMP NOW DAYS AND THE CATS AND DOGS HIDE FROM THE RATS ! AS SOON AS IT GETS DARK THE RATS START POURING OUT THE SEWER DRAINS !?? CHECK OUT CARROL PARK!!? FEDERAL HILL ,LOCUST POINT, DUNDALK ,BROOKLIN, PIG TOWN I LIVED IN PASADENA FOR 37 YRS AND WATCH DOPE AND BAD MANAGEMENT RUIN A NICE PLACE!!!!!
Its too overloaded
@@gamesponge7176 load is 4700 containers, the ship can take 10,000, got overloaded at bow when the bridge collapsed over it.
@@gamesponge7176No. You shouldn’t talk anymore.
Thank God for our First Responders they stopped this from becoming a larger tragedy
I'm surprised. The Maryland state police did an excellent job of clearing the bridge before impact. Especially at 1:30 in the morning
@gregorylyon1004 yes very well said
Looks like a big puzzle they have to figure out how to take apart without upsetting the other pieces.
This is just to take the time needed to accomplish the reason for the move
It’s amazing how much rust is in the joints of the bridge
Mmm Joint
I have been a Captain on such ships, there hardly anything ship staff can do after a blackout..my suggestion..like Hong Kong, please provide Escort tug especially near critical bridges like this..!
God bless the souls of the people who lost their life.
My regards and respects Captain. 20 year retired USN enlisted here. I hate the feeling of helplessness you get when the ship suddenly goes silent and dark. A ship underway is much like a living creature, pulsing with life, it feels very wrong when she suddenly goes quiet.
thank you for your information
Kind of stupid that the bridge pillars were not protected. But in the US nothing surprises me anymore.
Stay in russia then,tucker
I don't think you can protect much against a 200,000 ton vessel.
shows your level of ignorance. They were protected but new ships have longer bows that protrude more than when the bridge was built almost 50 years ago.
Keeps terrorists employable
I cannot believe the Coast Guard and NTSB are using mobile phones to document the damage.
You need a professional camera to capture all the fine details.
For real. I know.
@tammyallen8205 They drank the Apple kool-aid. But fwiw, they are the 1st response team. Cameras come next. But you are not expected to know that.
That is the new way of documentation I'm surprised you don't see tablets
It's for their personal albums .
They need to use care and 2 hands when taking photos
Great audio quality !
It's not supposed to have audio
Yeah high noise suppression.
@@Mullikia Dont u mean, all noise suppression.
im amazed how thin the part of the roadway is 😳😳
CBS said the investigation could take two years which is crazy. Seems clear that the ship lost power, finding out the reason why shouldn’t take two years. I think energy would be better spent figuring out any ways this type of tragedy could be prevented in the future. My thoughts are with the families who lost their loved ones, many if not all of whom were immigrant construction workers doing the hard work that holds this country together. May the families find peace I can only imagine the pain they are feeling. One of the two survivors said he cannot get the image of the collapsing bridge out of his head. Very traumatic I can imagine I hope they get the support they need.
Two years isn't bad. It usually takes years to investigate things like this. For example the wings over Dallas sir show mid air collision ntsb report just came out. That was about 2 years ago. Also the prevention usually takes the investigation to make.
They need two years to figure out a cover up
It's all a cover up investigation
Just looking at this, this is going to a massive operation!!
. Yeah, I heard one report say that it's going to be extremely dangerous to remove wreckage. I can easily see that. It's a twisted mess, and underwater salvage is never easy, at least from what I've read. I just hope they're given the time and resources to do it right, and safely. There's a lot of pressure that's only gonna intensify to get that waterway open.
Not for you so you have nothing to worry or speak on
@@kotastrophie Shut up you smart aleck!!!! No one's talking to you!!!!
A diesel engine will stop running if the there is water in the fuel or another contaminate, that would cause the loss of power and steering.
The ship had the same problem a few weeks ago as I understand the reports.
Don't you use a centrifuge pump to filter the water out and filters
I has heard a news report mention contaminates in the fuel too. I would imagine at this point they're going to be cautious and look into every little detail extensively. Don't wanna be second guessed by all the social media experts.🤔 Seriously though, a whole lotta eyes on this, they need to make sure and get it right .
Without power the rudder would have remained in the neutral position going straight. The massive hydraulic system controlling the rudder wouldn't go limp, it would have been locked in position.
The rudder and the bow thrusters must have been under power and input from the bridge controls fir the ship to make such a sharp turn....facts.
@@aljock6927if there was water in the fuel system it would've been grey smoke when restarted. It was heavy black which indicates not enough air or dumping of fuel.
Interesting - didn't know this - How does air get into the engines in a ship? Cars its obvious - but they're buried deep below@@sirseven3
6:30 I cannot imagine the mayhem in that bridge the minutes before impact. And then the shock in the realization the entire Key bridge had collapsed. Luckily they were able to communicate the situation to the local police who managed to close the bridge in the nick of time; a miracle really. If there weren't any crew doing mainetenance that very night, there would not have been any casualties.
WOW 😮😮😮. Thank goodness for the ship staying INTACT and not sinking. Prayers for the families who lost loved ones. 😢
Why are we paying to replace ,ship should have insurance
Insurance process will take many years
The insurance claims, which will probably cover much of the damages, will take some time to go thru the legal processes before payments made. In the meantime the salvage and replacement work needs to be done NOW, and repayment will come later.
Because if the government passes a bill to pay for it they can add more shit into the bill for crap they want. if the insurance pays for it the only cover the cost of the rebuild
@@mikecain2511whining like a trumper

Yep…It’s all about the DEI. Just disregard abilities and experience. Those qualifications really aren’t that important anyway…
@@Plutogalaxy - 🤷♂️ it wasn't my idea to trash character and competence as relevant criteria for leadership in favor of irrelevant, superficial factors.
Absolutely insane
From what I can see, and obviously it’s not much of the ship, in this video this is a clean well maintained vessel. Well done to the entire crew.
I have to imagine this was a system failure from out of the blue at the worst possible time. And it’s a horrible feeling when any vessel loses power/control especially in a harbor!
what a mess
What I can't figure out is how the blackout happened? As the first engine and chief engine officer as well, working on the same ships for a total of over 30 years, I have never had a blackout during a maneuver in my entire career. Yes, in the port, on the open sea, but I have never been in a maneuver. The safest ship configuration is precisely the maneuvering configuration!!!
Amazing close ups . Am i wrong in thinking that the boat would have fitted under the bridge if it stayed on course.
Of course it would have.
Thank you Barb for the info om the Black box.
Anyone else looking at these pictures and wondering just where to start with the clean-up? I am, but as with anything complicated, the method will be to take things one step at a time. Probably clearing the container ship out of the bridge debris so that it can be hauled back to the Port for inspection and then repaired. Then crews will start at each end and in the middle to clear the main shipping channel!
Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
The load is massively heavy, they cant unload right there, the boat is not seaworthy, it will be complex to unload containers
Roger from the US here 100% agreed there is nothing to see here bring in the Humongous Cranes get the ship back to port clean up the mess and move on it will be a good 10 yrs before a new bridge is built
The current chairperson of the NTSB is not properly educated for their position
Have him impeached
no audio?
same here
How much ya wanna bet this ship is owned by either Blackrock or Vanguard?
The base question is : why wasn’t the pylon bases protected by some sort of of barriers like the Sunshine Skyway bridge in Tampa. The ship is a medium sized container ship, surly a system could be designed to ward off a direct hit. I don’t know the maintenance history of the ship but I do know that propulsion systems fail on a regular basis.
looks like the ship has power now
Wonder why there’s no sound our comments
Its such a mess that its hard to tell what's part of the ship and whats part of the bridge. I wonder when this is all over if the Dali will be repaired to sail again or if it is considered damaged beyond repair, to be sent to the scrapyard.
The damage looks superficial, not taking on water. I suppose it depends on the amortized value of the ship and what other repairs it needs -vs- what the scrap value is.
I was thinking the same thing! Wonder what was in those black barrels?
What an experience seeing it first hand like they are. They use to make disaster movies out of situations like this. It could have been a lot worse. Imagine if it had been rush hour in a blizzard or hurricane.
Rush Hour mixed with inclement weather would have been a recipie for a Major Disaster. Picture any major traffic bridge during Peak Hour around the world and imagine all of that traffic just falling into the cold water in an instant and then the framework of the bridge falling in on top of them?
Cars, trucks, buses (school, commuter, coach, tourist), semi-trailers (some with Hazardous materials) all just suddenly dropping many feet into the water while being hit with pieces of the bridge structure?
Instead of mourning the loss of six construction workers, the whole world could be mourning the loss of three to six thousand lives with many seriously injured.
As tragic as this event is for those people involved, it could very easily have been far, far worse in the numbers of dead and injured.
Mark from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Wouldn't even need inclement weather. Rush hour alone would have been a disaster. The cops would never had been able to stop all the traffic, let alone clear the bridge. They just got traffic stopped as it was. Yes this was a tragedy, and I feel for the families that lost loved ones, but it's also a miracle that it wasn't any worse.
So, giant ships are allowed to move around inside harbors on their own power? I honestly thought this was always done with the help of multiple tug boats. Wow, crazy stuff.
Tugs were used to assist the ship off the dock and into the channel. Once in the channel, the tug leave. This is standard practice for this harbor and has been for years.
@@jgmcfpsthis is common practice all over the world.
I hear what you guys are saying but completely 100% relying on the ships own power still seems crazy considering what's at stake. I guess at the end of the day what it "seems like" to me isn't really relevant. The rules are the rules. Thx for your input!
Wow the one guy could ne a Gene Hackman's double.
Just still so incredible and sad 😢
At 304, hazardous flammable liquid 1993 placard, diesel, fuel oil.
Future gas, where future is now!
That bridge looked like it was a disaster waiting to happen. And so it did...
They can use phones, cameras and drones to build a 3D scene using photogrammetry. The newer iPhones have LiDAR capabilities. Not on a pro level, but pretty good.
If they set it up on a Lidar Matterport tripod, the software needs pano shots not blurry snapshots
@@ReallyBarb-Snapshots weren’t blurry babe.
But why should they? This is just to document what damage the falling bridge did to the ship before removing both. There's no evidence of anything there.
For all the armchair experts, nothing is designed to take a full on hit from 90,000 tons.

As they walk under unsecured containers.
That's what the hard hats are for. 😛
If the tags are logged, the voyage data recorder (VDR) will tell what happened and when it happened. Voice recorder will also have commands and responses recorded.
I saw info that says they were not running at the time
It’s been published already.
Yeah just like they magically didn’t find the black box in TWA 500, or just like how the videos in the hallways of Epstein’s “suicide” were magically just not working. But anything and everything federal is compromised and FUBAR. And anyone with a spine and morals isn’t allowed near that site or any of the dozens of derailments, demolitions or
accidents that have magically happened when certain powers that be are in control.
It’s mind numbing
Will all the containers have to be removed before towing the ship?
That’s a lot of damage!
How close (distance) was the vessel to the bridge when the first power outage happened?
The ship was moving around 8 mph when it lost power and between the time is lost power and contacted the bridge was less than 4 minutes. This means that they were about 1,000 feet away when power was lost. The ship itself is 984 ft in length. Empty the ship weighed over 90,000 tons.
Too close
Whowa driving this ship? Or computer?
Oh, I know they are some cellphones that are very expensive with extra longer life battery in them & can last longer the battery & that have good Video & Sound too. And thank God there are Cellphones with Cameras & Can take Videos. They have been very useful for Emergencies & used.for many things.
Is there power on the vessel now? I see lighting.
Probably a generator for electrical like lights etc
Probably a generator for electrical like lights etc

There may be power but that doesn't mean the engines working
New structural code: Bridge with anti- collision barrier
Let's go look in the engine room!
Never showed the engine room or will they ever do so 🤔
This will also have impact on the truckers who drive tanker trucks that carry fuel and other Hazardous chemicals because they had to use the bridge because they are not allowed to go through the tunnels so they will half to go all the way around the city traveling I-695 Baltimore Beltway, it's also tragic that people that were working at 1am lost there lives and Sadly the family will half to learn to live with this while life goes on.
Yep. Traffic on other nearby roads has increased.
The mayor of Baltimore might complain about any criticism of this bridge by what he calls non engineers, but it is clear that this was a very fragile structure, what if a small aircraft had hit it. The ship does not appear to have suffered as you might expect from such a collision, if you consider the effect on the bridge itself. I think it will be evident as to the bridges fragility when observing how difficult or not it is to remove the structure from the river.
The bridge wasn't fragile. Most bridges in the world would collapse if they were struck by a ship weighing 150000 tons moving at 8 knots. You have no idea how much force such a large and heavy object can exert
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 my observation is that the concrete road bridge remained in tact , the metal structure failed completely . Apart from a full suspension bridge, a bridge in several sections should not fail on all sections, tgere seems to me, a fragility due to such a top heavy design, the weight appears to balance on the pillars . It would make sense if there were a series of concrete guide barriers either side if the pillars foundations as a precaution, these could have been built as ricer traffic increased and ships became larger, especially this form of commercially over loaded ship, were the containers are well above the deck level. Not that thus accident could not have been prevented, there appears to be a lot if rules and regulations that should now be applied to such vessels in restricted river access. I wonder why the bridge was designed as a single unit and not as three or four separate spans.
That bridge had no chance against a ship of that tonnage. That ship fully loaded weighs 4 times as much as a modern submarine does
@@gregorylyon1004 you have answered one part of this question, there should not be any ships passing this type of bridge that are above a weight that will cause a collapse in event of an accident . I wrote a bit more on another site and was interested to gear an ABC news program from Darwin, Australia, in which two bridge engineers remarked on exact the same problems I have high lighted here and in the other posting. One being a question about building a rigid integrated metal structure on insufficient pillar supports and why no additional anti ship barriers in the river , either side of tge pillars. Given the rise of ship size and weight over the years, these could have been built retrospectively . You might consider my point of fragile in relationship of the high steel arch to the connection with the pillars . I believe there are four pillars at each of three major support point and in theory this integrated metal structure should have remained intact despite losing a pillar or two at any of the three supporting points, however, one pillar at one end was hit and the whole structure folded. What about the huge cruise liners passing a new bridge, is it OK to say cross ypur fingers each time, or learn and either stop the commerce and large ships or find a way to guarantee the bridges safety. What worries me is the rush to build a new bridge while estimating the time needed for an investigation will take two years.
50 ntsb Agents show up then say. YUP its broken..
I am guessing you are not an accident investigator
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 yea.. because it takes me 3 years to see the obvious
@@globaldeception7414 so because you have seen the obvious, I reckon you wouldn't bother doing any investigation.
Do you also whine when they investigate airplane crashes? Afterall it's quite obvious when an airplane crashes.
Thank goodness you don't work for the NTSB
👆🏻The NTSB doesn’t make mistakes ? Tell that to the families of the victims of TWA flight 800. Feds are there to protect other feds and elites. And to squeeze more of our money out of our hands. But how would some yahoo boi telemarketer have any clue about that.
…so now the cargo ship has constant power.????? Even after hitting the bridge and the bridge falls on it, it has power??? Really? WOW
Well, considering all the machinery is located aft, where the bridge didn't fall...
Did you gradiate with any technical or engineering degree first of all?
you obv no nothing about ships. and if u watched the video the power came back on but they didnt have enough time to reverse the ship (not enough distance)
Yes, diesel motors don't require electricity
@@eng3d - but the controll systems and steering do
Crashed @ 1:28 a.m. 128 days before Francis Scott Key's birthday!
Oh, wow. And whoa. What a Coincidence is that. ? Thank you for that Vital Tidbit. Great Studying that & Great Observation there !
@@tammyallen8205 Recently saw another video claiming the time is different now. 1:29 am instead. Change on purpose or faulty before? IDK? Also black box has 2 minutes of missing time so who knows.🤷♀
Boy oh boy! Doesn’t get any more professional than that! Wandering around holding a camera or iPhone type camera in one hand taking pictures. Definitely not very professional I must say.
I hope their cellphone batteries don't die. Or run out.
I agree with your comment too. Anybody can take video via Cellphones now a days. They should have a Professional Cam Corder or something else to use.
Oh please! Cell phones take excellent digital photos nowadays. I’m guessing you’re still using a flip phone?!
Some phone have better resolution than big camcorders. What are you on about?
@@tammyallen8205there are phones with better images and resolution than camcorders. What are you on about?

What exactly are they hoping to find. Seems pretty open and shut case .engine failure and hit the bridge
That had to be very loud.
What are pay and benefits for these ntsb zeroes
Let’s see how long it takes to “build back better”
It wouldn’t take long at all if Trump was in office.. the fact that this has happened with the current clown in office means we are in for it!!
The causeway is already constructed. What is missing are the pylons and the decking. The foundation already exists. My estimate will be 12-18 months.
They wouldn't have done if the real president was where he should have been.

CONSEQUENCES ! !
@@timothylegg It's highly doubtful that any part of the old bridge will be reused. The bridge was nearly 50 years old, and while it looks like it was in good condition, it likely doesn't meet modern building standards. So, a new design would be required to replace it, making the old causeways and foundations obsolete, meaning they are more of a hindrance than a help, as they will need to be removed before construction of the new bridge begins, unless the new bridge is built beside the old structures.
With Biden's Key Stone Kops would take 10 years pronto
How is it possible that Dali is still on even keel? There is seemingly no water ingress after having run down a huge concrete pylon! Simply amazing.
Simple, the weight of portions of the collapsed bridge have forced the ship to be grounded on the bottom of the channel.
i suspect they are going to find the impact was well above the water line. It seems the ship came at the pier on an angle and the bow of this ship has significant flare or what's sometimes called a clipper bow. The rail extends out significantly from the narrow 'peak' of the bow at the waterline. This 'over reach' meant the rail contacted the support columns FIRST and cut then like a swinging axe .... before the water line hit the support structure. Again, more extensive protection might have 'kept it away' .... the ship hit a glancing blow and might have slid down the base had the overhang not clipped the column . . . There are many pictures of cases where a clipper bow hit a pier head on and the damage is well above the water line as the point of impact was well up the flared portion of the bow ....
Regards ?
I know it has to be done for damage control assessment, but those investigators from NTSB and CG are putting themselves at great risk walking under that debris which isn't stable to say the least!
Yeah, for sure. People want to joke around or point out how they think they're doing it wrong. Easy to do when they're sitting in their lazy boy guzzling down another pbr, wonder how many would have the balls to do what these people do. I know I don't
as stated before,theyre wearing hard hats.Everything will be fine.
Put the Diversity Hires “On Point” !!
😂😂
Don't worry, they're wearing almighty hardhats
The ship was insured by Lloyds of London. I have no idea how much it was insured for.
jeez i'd better withdraw my money then.
No ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collapse. LOL
Unlucky for those with cargo onboard, it will be seized
Vedio the cut parts of the bridge ... ???
NTSB and Coast Guard, impressive, cell phone cameras and cheap point and shoot, going to be some great pictures to send to their kids. Good thing we checked the box merit.
We need to see the ones and zeros, not the skin of the ship. The data that was controlling the ship need to be public.
a safety department doesn't wear safety glasses on a disaster site???? LMAO !!!
OSHA violation!!!!!!!!

Float again?.... No
@@Macarena22279 possibly...? No. Probably not. I always confuse those 'p' words though so I could be wrong & it may very well be the other way around.
Is the ship aground?
No
Things happen in life sometimes and it makes you wonder.
There is a lot of bad rust on that ship. That is a sign of poor maintenance
Look at those shiny new never worn hard hats!
That's what you take from this? Great observation. 😂
Shiny hard hats mean that these stooges have never gotten their hands dirty before
I feel for the families that have to wait for their loved ones that are still in the water.
It was 12, then 6 and 2 bodies found, they were in trucks on a break vs climbing
I feel really lucky to see these preliminary videos that incidentally give views of places that very few people get to see. I am really curious what the mission objectives of the NTSB are. Environmental assessment? Risk assessment in regards to unloading the ship of damaged goods and wreckage? I have no idea.
The NTSB does the investigation. I hate government but I have to give them their due, they do a great job.
I am a fan of Air Crash Investigation. So far I could tell the functions of NTSB are to find the root causes of an accident and the steps to prevent the accident from recurring.
One hi-vis vest you never wanna see.
Good thing no fire but I have seen smoke . But not billows
WTF ? Half of these fools don’t even have a clue what they’re looking at . Just looking around and talking pictures for the camera on them . SMH
Where is the audio?
Here guys, wear these plastic hats in case one of those loose containers breaks free...
"London bridge was supposed to be the one falling down...(Another childhood lie? 🤔🤨)
Gonna need to call Mr. George ASAP!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 your funny
@@tikone248 TY. I appreciate that.
