Could there have been a safer way for the engineers to conduct the bridge inspection? Some Police presence perhaps? Let us know your thoughts. 👍
Police for sure! That idiot needs to be found and fined for no wake zone and endangerment.
Radio channel 16....
Sécurité, Sécurité, Sécurité, Haulover Inlet Traffic, there are divers working below the Haulover Inlet Bridge on the south side dolphins, exercise caution when entering or exiting Haulover Inlet. Over
I agree the engineer crew should of been accompanied by Police or Coast Guard boats for safety
Seems a number of bridges are under scrutiny since the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.
Robert Cardwell got it right. I also wouldn’t be flying a tiny diver down flag. Do they have a horn on their boat. Even a whistle. The yacht captain was an Ahole. Channels like this unfortunately promote stupidly on a mega yacht scale.
The Coast Guard, Florida wildlife, and local police marine units need to start zero tolerance enforcement here. Inspect every vessel for every violation when you have cause to stop them. Make arrests for boating while drunk. A few months of that and this inlet will be a completely different place.
I agree some wild west behavior will calm down once there is some enforcement and maritime enforcement of local laws. Make them wear flotation vests too!
@@WindTurbineSyndrome No law you have to wear a vest.
@@WindTurbineSyndromeIs it peer pressure that would make a intelligent adult get on a boat without a life jacket?
And that is the dumbest thing!@@TOMVUTHEPIMP
@@kristy9337you don't need lifejackets when you're on a yacht, only need them onboard...when you go on a cruise ship do you wear a lifejacket the whole time ?..it's really about common sense and there is very little in today's world.
I myself was watching the diver climb aboard using the ladder, next to an idling motor, while the boat operator is continually putting his hand on the shift lever.
We would never allow that growing up. Out all day, fatigued from the skiing and the sun, bunch of kids climbing and jumping in and out…”the rules” help keep you safe. Engine off until the area is cleared and all are accounted for!
Also he didn't honk his horn to alert the skipper
@@buddhaspriest7487 Judging by the condition of the that dive boat I'd say the horn didnt work.
@@Timbo_tango that would be illegal
Walmart Engineering Co.
The bridge looks in better condition than the boat they were using.
Thought that was the wrong type of boat to use for divers. They have to get round the back next to the prop while the driver tries to maintain position against a strong current. Looks like a 2 bit outfit to me.
Cuba has rescue teams
Really surprised there wasn't any law enforcement involved. Especially with divers in the water.
Three guys in a boat trying to yell over the noise of the water, the cars and the boats. That’s real smart!! Trying to blame all those cracks that were already there on that boat! 😂
Apparently you're not a boat operator. Divers are allowed to be present with just a single designated flag in the water, and when present, all vessels in the surrounding area are required to be alert enough to spot, and remain clear of the area.
Where is a Police escort boat? I've seen 10 show up for the smallest of things before.
An engineering crew dead in the water with divers down and no police escort? This is as crazy as it gets.
They had a dive flag up. That’s all that’s required, and that captains maintain a proper watch.
@@Seawizz203 Yes that's all that's required in the same way tugs aren't required to guide container ships under bridges. But in a high speed traffic lance such as Haulover that is not enough. I would never dive under those conditions. Should have police patrol with emergency lighting.
@@Dan-oj4iq I agree with you. An official presence would have been nice. People tend to pay more attention to when they see flashing lights. That said, I’m sure that was a licensed professional captain on that yacht. He should have paid attention to that divers’ flag.
@@Dan-oj4iq I guess you missed that sign. It's not a high speed zone.
@@nboddie1036The speed is whatever someone wants it to be. That's the reality.
“Idle Speed, No Wake” permanently attached to the bridge protection…in plain sight. 🤔
Nice thought in a perfect world but the current under that bridge is too strong to safely traverse the underpass at idle speeds, besides it was the current and lack of boat speed which caused the whole fiasco in the first place.
Police or CG controlling both sides of the bridge.
I’m surprised they didn’t have police on either side of the bridge to slow voters down
They do be rushing to the polls in a hurry... Slow them voters down.
Thats voter suppression. Illegal.
@@cup_and_coneMaybe they're seeking asylum
Who ya voten for😅🇺🇸
Trump 2024
I bet they were the cheapest diving crew 😂
I was going to say the exact same thing. This looked unprofessional as could be. Tiny unofficial looking boat with, two guys wearing construction vests .....heck I would have expected a police escort, buoys, and the channel shut down temporarily
@@egomaniac247you two clearly have never dived before, some of the best free divers I know go out on shitty boats like that. Hell I use to dive of boats like and I could out fish most people that day. Your both gilligan's 😂😂
They could have made themselves slightly more conspicuous, perhaps using a more official looking boat than something that looks like it was taken off a trailer where it's been sitting in a parking lot for years (one equipped with VHF radio might have been useful), and some flashing beacons or something, but the name of the yacht (Jamaican flag 🇯🇲 it seems) is clearly visible at1:58in case the Coastguard or anyone might want to have a chat
Yeah that boat looks like something abandoned they pulled out of an old barn
law enforcement with a flashing blue light and a security call every 15 minutes on 16 and 13
Were there no announcements on channel 16? What about guard boats?
Was it Monty python clip that said ITS BUT A SCRATCH 😂
A mere flesh wound!
Or, in the words of Rodney Dangerfield (from Caddyshack): "Your boat scratched my Bridge!"
Seinfeld remark while looking at George's father's car destroyed by vandals, "Most of that will buff out."
So, no radio to talk to the captain?
On a diverent note, have a nice easter!!
Dosent mater. Everyone who has a boating license should know wat a diving flag means under the Marine flags you are supposed to know and heave too or give right of way to that operation. Its the whole purpose of the marine flag system is for boating operators who do not have radios. The captain of that boat should have known better and its his responsibility as one of the people on watch to notice and avoid it just like they would a standard bouy or other boats.
@@loganholmberg2295boating license? 🤔
@@officialWWM That big boat had a licensed professional crew and The Captain is a Licensed Captain on every crew.
All the law enforcement around with boats and no one could help these guys?
Amatuer hour dive crew. No flashing lights. No support boats. No nothing.
Nice classic design on blue boat ... Like to see more out there cruising!
No cops? wtf?
First off in the defense of the person runnning the inbound yacht. The USCG or marine police should have issues a notice to all mariners of the inspection and dive activities near the bridge and proceed with caution. Secondly I have been in the commercial marine industry for 30 years, the last 18 holding a 500 ton offshore masters lisence. I have never seen a boat engaged in diving activities without being amchored or ties off to a stationary object, with a trailer line affixed to a poly ball, with a high flyer displaying the dive flag atop of it. Seeing that little boat not anchored or tied to the bridge, I would not have suspected them having divers in the water. The personell on the boat clearly have no clue of proper aids to navigation, and proper protocol when engaged in certain activities such as diving. The current there could have swept that diver far away if he had issues, with the boat in motion and no weighted tag line or anchor line to follow up, they could have been another unfortunate casualty due to blatant stupidity.
Now the captain should have made a secutriy call on 16 stating they were inbound at the inlet. If they did so, the uscg or police sould have alerted them of the activity and procced with caution. Regardless of the diver situation, to see a small boat drifting and approaching a bridge with that much heat is crazy.
There was no reason not to cut back as they would have had total control and not possibly swampes the little boat.
Remember just because someone has a captains lisence, even a 100 ton master does not mean they know how to operate a large vessel. I have met many over the years qith 100 ton master, and oh do they talk a good game. Come to find out they never ran a boat over 35 foot. Talk is cheap, a piece of paper, just like a college degree is just a piece of paper that says you are supposed to be a professional. Always ask for references and proof of insurance. If hiring a captain amd they get insulted if asked for references, DO NOT HIRE THEM!!!! The industry is full of what we older commercial guys call;"papered a**holes."
And was the motor running and the propeller turning when the diver was trying to clamber in over the stern? 🙈
Definitely needed a police boat presence. At least 2. In my opinion one small boat with one small flag is woefully inadequate!
Yes an extra warning vessel on both sides slowing traffic would've been a good idea!
Those "engineers" are a bunch of clowns.
They should have called for a police over watch to control the traffic and speed while they were working.
Plus call out on channel 16 to any approaching vessels.
They should have closed that entire entire section before they began. This is actually on them. Those divers could’ve been hurt.
I like the two Ladies on the Cobia.
They dont need the show, like the testo-bombers!
Police should have been present to protect the divers.
Hey, I think this is the first time I have seen this. Vessel at 7:30 mark kept over to the side of the inlet and as he moved past the end of the rock wall, turned to port into calm water, why do skippers go out in middle of where it's the roughest.
Also, the girls did very well, but did have a child up in the bow area.
Captain went as slow as he could due to out tide. See 2:27
I've seen more yacht collisions than anything else. Who is operating these expensive vessels? Beginners? 🤔🌹⚓
Marlin Engineering should consider a new, larger vessel with an additional flag for visibility while diving.
yes the captaion is at fault. It is their watch and they need to keep their eyes open for things like flaged diving operations. Evn if there might be extenuating circumstances they should be fined. They could have injured or killed someone.
They should have a Police boat like when you are on the highway and you see construction.
I ❤ Wavy but he asks the worst questions!! “Should the engineers be mad at the captain?” 🤔
If the blue hulled yacht was following the normal speed limitations of the area, I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they simply didn't see the tiny engineering boat and low dive flag. I mean, if you are that concerned about your divers then you need to have radio and at least another boat providing some flanking protection and warning other boats coming in. That's a high volume area that no one is going to be expecting to see divers at on any sort of common basis.
That yacht Capt. must of gotten his Capt. license at 7-11.
Traffic should be stopped completely when divers are underwater!😤
The MJM is probably the best rough water boat in its class! The hull is designed for big water and speed.
Needs 2 escort "Safety" Midnight Express for guard.. 😉
looks like that was there first boating trip!.. engineers were enjoin it!
2:16... Marine law states that you have to be wary and careful of people that have Flags like this up and stay clear of them if I remember correctly what I read
Love the MJM Down Easter Style boats.
What diver climbs a ladder next to an idling Outboard? That's crazy, you can see the boat being knocked around all it takes it one slip to go into gear
As I have said before I am really surprised there is not a 5mph rule for the inlets. It seems crazy that any boat much less a 90' yacht can proceed at speed through an inlet. Here in California most all inlets are 5mph.
Oh my word! 😮
Should be a navigation warning out for a bridge inspection and to observe the divers down flag
That comes under,, Your Fired!
Flashing lights on the engineers boat might help.
Does the light installer have a PFD? Is that vest for visibility and floatation? Just curious. Thanks.
Pretty mediocre display of signal flags. Alpha flag should be in the vessel on a pole or radio antenna up high where it can be seen. Red/White diver flag should be on a pole on a float on a line behind the boat.
4:35 what part of this difficult?
Need more presence of Marine Police and USCG while inspecting bridges over water ways. Can’t expect Captains with multi million dollar vessel’s to use their brains 🙄
Money doesn't buy manners, or brains.
Use something other than a postage size flag hidden behind a barrier.
Thinking of all those Man Hours and who's going to be paying for those plus some.Before any expensive repairs even begin to get started.✌️💙⛵⚓🐰🐰
Had big boy so mad he pulled up his pants!
The alpha flag (blue/white) carries alot of significance. There are strict rules if you're within a certain distance of it in a vessel.
It's a good thing that "idle speed no wakes" sign is there. 🙄🙄🙄
After the Key bridge... Surprised traffic was allowed over or under the bridge!
One collision changes nothing. Boats and ships run into bridges, docks, cranes and each other, all over the world. Statistically speaking, it was going to happen. And it will happen again. And again. That's marine world...
There's no way the Harbor Master didn't know there would be divers in the channel on the bridge. The question is, did he contact harbor patrol to be present at the bridge to enforce a no/low wake zone? Do they have a dive flag banner to hang on the bridge? Do they have gyrating lights to hang off the bridge? It's just stupid. The yacht has a marine radio too, so do patrol vessels. FAIL [BTW, it's serious - industrial divers make BIG $ b/c they have a high degree of skills sets in an IDLH environment.]
5:41
Yep a newbie just showing off to his rich friends
0:20 No worries those scratches will buff out easily!
My son and I dive offshore in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. I use two dive flags 36"x 60" that are way bigger than regulation. Still, boats from anywhere come racing right up to us. People don't know or care about boating rules or the safety of others.
they need to enforce if no wake and idle speed
Why would you not have flashing blue lights to warn boat traffic!
0:38 That's going to take a few buckets of Bondo.
2:00 Even their beards look angry.
First off, I'd like to know why the azimut captain is on that side of the inlet fender... he's not even inside the channel at the beginning 😅
I assume that the bridge inspection was simply a scheduled inspection and unrelated to a boat that had a scuff mark from the bridge pier protection.
The captain blew through a no wake/Idle speed area. Would have not have been any problems for the divers or engineers. It is a NO WAKE ZONE. Dont twist blame onto the guys sent to fix it. Flags were hoisted
It's the reflective vest twins!
8:00 very nice design
What is that pocket sized diver flag? Lol
Set up speed cameras at the bridge. Use A.I. to see who generates waves and issue tickets to boat owners.
Sheel team six is on site.with a 90 mile current there going to need a dive propulsion unit!aqua man!🙃😏🙃the weed must be great down there.😁ill find out.
They met the (bare minimum) safety requirements. They didn't meet the job site safety requirements. Those tiny dive flags are like fixing a pothole on a highway with a single traffic cone.
Those guys are like highway workers. Everyone needs to slow down a bit.
Damn right they have the right to be mad. Law states vessels MUST stay away 150' when a dive flag is flown.
Though it would have been a wise move to have police presence while the inspection was underway, especially in such a high traffic area.
Question about the captain of the vessel? Just because you can afford the boat doesn’t make you automatically a captain!
Do they have a Harbour Master?
Do the ones in the boat not need to be wearing any form of flotation device?
That little boat could have a way bigger diver down flag
3:13 They're Mad because the boat 150 feet away could possibly hurt the divers. Never mind the spinning propeller that was 1 foot away from the divers boarding their own boat
The yacht captain should be cited, but the operations crew should have had PD on site with lights going to draw more attention to the fact that something was going on at the site that was outside of normal operating conditions.
Should have had marine police unit there with lights on like they do on roadways. You have to assume that most boaters have limited experience.
In the channel vessels within 100ft of diver down flags must be at idle speed. Not sure if one can be at idle with this current...need some speed for safe navigation
Another bridge crashed into? It’s becoming a common thing in the last couple days
I'm confused... After hitting the bridge right in front of the police, everybody just goes on their way like nothing happened..??? Are you allowed to hit bridges when ever you want,
no problem ??
This is Florida-duh! FREEDOM! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
With newly punctured holes in their yacht, I seriously hope you were joking about not going on their way! You want them to sink too? Sure they headed to a dock or marina to access the damage and haul out of needed.
👍👍
You sign off on a bridge which later collapses - make sure to be under it.
Maybe a few warning lights to slow or stop boats.
The level to which boat prices are artificially inflated never ceases to amaze me. In no reality should that dinghy of a catamaran cost a million dollars. The boat market is the greatest scam on all the semi affluent.
Coast Guard will be visiting both these yachts. It’s documented on film now thanks to you. Can’t hide in those boats . Don’t they have to have a captain license for something this big. Maybe a year suspension would wake them up.
A year suspension for that isn't enough. 10 years for that behaviour.
@@SummerSausage1 OK, calm down Saddam Hussein.
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP Saddam had a nice yacht.
We sank it.
I would assume that yacht captain would have a master's license for a certain tonnage. Doesn't basic seamanship teach you about diver flags? On the other hand, the engineers would be well served to bring a bull horn with them to announce a warning and broadcast a maintenance announcement on a known com channel. I'm only guessing here, since I don't own a boat.
Maybe some bright orange buoys and bright orange boat while blocking off that section of the bridge with that bright orange boat and bright orange buoys.
Idk
Don't worry it will buff right out,
What was hit, and what they are inspecting , has nothing to do with the integrity of the bridge, it's a wake block, protecting the bridge.
Visibility for the dive boat was questionable at best given the size of many boats coming in and out. That said, the yacht pilot was clearly ignoring the No Wake zone which is the greater issue here.
Other vessels blocking would have been advisable
Speeding skipper was definitely negligent but did not see crew on divers tender using handheld VHF to warn speeding skipper! Were “Securitay” messages broadcast to all stations on VHF16 before the divers entered the water? And yes, Police or work boats with hazard lights stationed on both approaches would have made the work scene safer.
The current looks like its ripping
