When they lift the truss up, find it's still attached to something, drop it down again, how do they cut those pieces attached? They must have divers cutting them.

The gantry cranes (also known as ship to shore cranes) are on tracks so they can be driven along the quayside and over the Dali. Yes they are off to the side at the moment as clearly they are not needed. Thanks for the close up video and commentary Jeff.👍

New Bridge ? As the old saying goes . . . . . . . better late than never . You people should take a look at our new bridge near Windsor , Ontario , Canada . Our new bridge is gonna keep all your '70's ideas in a cookie jar .

ASTM A775 since 1973 started the use of corrosion resistant rebar aka epoxy coated rebar in lieu of other more expensive options. Be interesting to see how this type of rebar is “welded” or wired together. Cement is not waterproof and after the initial set of 30 days should be sealed to curtail water intrusion especially in key areas or in humid conditions by the sea. It is often forgotten that cement has compressive strength but much less tensile strength and rebar is included to TRY and make up for this. It is surprising how often it works. This accident is perhaps an example of how things can fail. Only Roman structures using arches without rebar have lasted.

Painfully slow, admit it.😮😮😮

Thanks Jeff & Capt Andy. I've been watching all this from Australia & have been fascinated. Ha, I once stacked our Captain's launch into a pier, but I got off with "Mr UJ, if you EVER do that again...!

Will the USA make a new Baltimore out of the scrape metal or more tin cans to attack some body else. Getting something usefull out of tin containers, you have to go twenty seven Court cases about who owns what?.

I am just amazed at the height of those cranes and especially the operators precise abilities at performing movements and transfers. I could watch it all day. Thanks Jeff.☺️

Getting containers off the Dahli, maybe "there is nothing there to see" according to at least three USA police officers?

Noting in marine salvage happens fast. There is always the risk that the load of several hundred tons may break, twist or bend. You don't want to compound the operation by sinking or damaging a 1000 ton crane. It doesn't look like much is happening, but everything is being done safely.

Thanks Jeff, Good cleanup job. Lets hope new bridge is beautiful to look at as well as functional, a fitting memorial to what went before. Near where I live a steel truss bridge was recently demolished. To celebrate its long service and the efforts that went into its construction and maintenance a rather nice piece of public art sculpture was made from some of the salvaged steel and placed in a park on the southern approach.

Jeff, I am no mariner, but I would be willing to bet that they’re not removing containers due to weight and balance primarily. Don’t forget, Dali was due to go to Singapore, I believe, so most of these containers were likely destined overseas and will eventually be cross docked to another ship once all the debris is cleared. I have heard that she’ll be moved to Norfolk and I would imagine that the original shipper has been in the process of scheduling another ship to carry the load to the ultimate destination. Just spitballing but I think Sal Mercagliano from What’s Going on With Shipping channel has made mention of it. Thank you for the continued coverage of the cleanup. Much love to you from North Carolina 🤙🤙

Five hundred tons is more like it. I saw another post that said it was 500 feet. I'm like, no way!

Looks like they ran out of height on the Crain

Hey Jeff! I'm not sure if you realize that the Thumbs up button does not seem to be working.

Regarding container move, Sal made mention in one of his videos probably 10-ish days ago or so that the shipper had scheduled a ship or two to come in June 9th and/or 10th to transfer the goods so they could finish their journey. I managed to forward that little tidbit to Captain Andy and he finally acknowledged it. Going to be interesting to see if they move that stuff ship to ship, or, ship to shore to ship! Thanks for another daily report!

18 min video to show this

That's not nearly as painstakingly slow as compiling the Linux kernel. Last video you made I was a 1/4 the way through, right now I'm 2/4 the way through.

By now, Hyundai should have determined the source of the electrical problems. I haven't heard, though.

I would guess that since the containers belong to someone, it is private property and will be their reasonability or the ship to remove it. I think those cranes can move along the dock.

I am impressed with the speed of the demolition recovery process. 👏

Hi Jeff, Was in shipping most of my life… USA port calls are usually last for customs reasons… shippers return mostly ‘empties’ to Asia, though some carry cargo. That’s why the vessel draft is shallow; she’s “light“. The garbage bags are called “big bags” 1m x 1m, made of tyvek or woven polyester (Fema tarp). Really enjoy your channel, especially the engineering detail… fascinating and informative… surfside condo and titan are my favs… keep up the great work… I appreciate your engineering knowledge and great presentations!!

Speaking of the "last remaining truss" & media reports not 100% accurate -- Most media outlets usually do the best they can-- but often build their stories upon the new releases they recieve. Take a look at Canada's GLOBE & MAIL newspaper's -- youtube channel that compared the Chessy 1000 to another nearby crane in New Jersey that is 2x's as big. It likely would have lifted the ENTIRE remaining truss section without having to cut it in 1/2. Unfortunately that bigger crane does not belong to those doing the current salvage work.

They have a huge job to get things going-new friend from blessed2crochet

Hi Jeff, there was an official report about the cause of Champlain tower collapse, released one week ago. Pretty much exactly what you determined. It shows the exact column that started it, and how it cascaded to the neighboring columns, and then building.

The owner of the ship declared “general cargo” which means each and every container shall pay its portion of the bridge repair. Some containers will have insurance, others may not. Sorting out these issues may be the reason containers remain on the ship. 11:25

There's still the other giant piece by the other pier that got cut at the water line as well!?

Those gantry cranes can reposition along the dock, they are on a track.

they are going to have to do an inventory of the destroyed containers, they were saying some of them are flammable.

RYOBI DAYS 🔥🔥🔥

👍💙🌹

Bay not the "River"

I think they will not remove the containers, rather get it down to Norfolk for repairs and then move on. It would be very expensive to remove all the containers and then have to put them on another ship. Where would they store 4000 containers anyway? They would fill a football stadium.

Great that they met their April deadline, but sadly they missed their May deadline. A lot achieved, but still a lot to do before that main channel is open.

Scary thought about the containers is if some illegal things went on and some containers were used for human trafficking...

Thanks Jeff.I follow your videos only. Greg. 😊.

the dock were the ships the gantry crains are on rail tracks enbeded in the concret a d the crains can and do move the whole leinght of the dock thought it is out of the way for normal dock operations and i would say they are waiting for clearnce from the company working on the bow the boat need to go to a ship yard for servey an repair the work will take 30to 80 days to fix the big problem is the steel easy to sorce for the repair just my 2cents

Thanks for the great coverage.

Did the crew ever get shore leave? Or are they still onboard? And thanks for all you do to bring this info to all of us...

Nice job and good patient explanation of your processes. There are not many videos on YT on laying engineered wood over tile, so I was pleased to find this. About to do 1200 sq ft! My budget of material is considerably more, but I bought really high quality Flooret Silvan, which has the best click-lock system I have seen. Way superior to anything in the big box stores, including F&D. So several dilemmas for me are: 1. Whether the grout needs to be filled (the floor manufacturer says it should) - this could be somewhat mitigated by the underlayment; additionally my tiles are much bigger 20 x 20 format. 2. Underlay or not - I'm somewhat considering if float to use underlay, but glue, not. 3. Glue or Float. So these three are interlated really. I see your original intention was float and only glued because of the material. I have read that glue down gives the best 'feel' and lowest noise. I am certainly encouraged by your video not to worry about pre-filling the grout, but especially with glue it is going to planarize it significantly.
