Old footage ripped off from another video.

It’s all click bate

[@leiag201]

Yeah they’re using tugs now. I bet they will from now fucking on too

[@puirYorick]

Could they not swing most of the pieces picked by the biggest crane over onto a plain barge and tow it away to be safely cut apart as needed so a smaller crane could unload that barge to the salvage point for further processing? I've seen the monster crane delivering pieces away to shore and that means it's lifting capacity is partly wasted. It's America. Surely you're not short of cranes, welders or barges.

MILKERS

[@roydrink]

Too big & heavy

[@puirYorick]

@@roydrink How exactly?

[@roydrink]

I’m assuming that you mean that what sticking out of the water to be picked up by the biggest crane. There’s much more under the water. I’m guessing that whole section weighs many thousands of pounds, way over the capacity of the crane 🏗.

@@roydrink You appear to have completely misunderstood my point. I was addressing the wasted time usage of the single most capable *floating crane* by sailing each extracted portion all the way to shore. Instead, they could use it to transfer stuff to a flat barge which could be towed ashore and unloaded there by multiple smaller canes as they break/cut smaller pieces apart at the shoreline. Meanwhile the biggest floating crane can get immediately to work rigging for the next major demolition lift at the salvage site. Having the big boy do its own taxi work seems silly and wasteful of its lifting power.
At a mining operation you wouldn't see the giant excavator crawling with a single scoop of ore to drop into the crusher. That's what the haul trucks do. They do the taxiing of what the big machine rips off the cliff face while the giant bucket stays put and gouges away at the face.

Never under estimate the U.S. to make everything cost more and take too long. I thought these were photo's but it is video they are just going so slow it looks like photo's At the beginning they said they would work 24/7. Some companies there milking the overtime since feds are paying the bill.

Amazing. After all this time the bridge and ship is still there. American tax payer money doesnt' work so fast does it...
