Yes indeed. Many thanks from the UK.

[@jakmoan]

Also watching in the best part of the UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤓

[@nedkent5239]

Can we give it up for all the tug boat captains out there working hard!

[@servant167311]

Servant16731 the reason the DALI is keeping the bow buried in the mud is to keep the ship from moving

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

I too watch every morning to see the news of the ship’s progress in morning and evening ! To bring me up to date as to see the progress of the recovery of the ships movement ! Please let us know when they plan to move the ship !

[@JodySTS78]

Thanks for another update. Excellent view of claw 👍🏻! Great work as always 👍🏻🫶🏻

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thank you too!

[@The.Real.Timmii]

excellent coverage of this, thank you for all you do

[@lindarosenthal6835]

We a really appreciate you and the team doing these videos. Such great coverage.

[@byronfuelling5879]

I just started watching from just South of Chicago. That's so Awesome 👍.

[@elainevincent3262]

Thank you Captain Andy…..love your videos ! I’m glued to my tv…..

[@MinorcanMullet]

Wow!! Thanks!!!

[@SharonBranch-yq6is]

Used to live in that part of MD and took our boat on the Patapsco. Hard to beliève the bridge is gone. Thanks so much for your videos.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Our pleasure!

[@sergiobezerra1501]

Sergio.From Santos - Brazil. Hello everyone in the word;

[@sharonmcgeeney9414]

I was at work when this was going on. Hello from East Tennessee

[@brandonhendrixson2372]

Great video checking it out from the susquehanna valley in pa above baltimore

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeaniechampagne8831]

What a monster ship. Pray all is well with the entirety of the mission.

[@sandyphillips7410]

I thank you for your time and I moved from Md years ago. My husband traveled the bridge every day. It really hit home and there is an empty spot for the men that lost their lives. I live in Georgia and wish there was some way l could help!God bless the family’s that lost their love ones. If it’s someway I can make a difference for the family’s,please let me know. Thanks Sandy from Georgia.

[@markhollomon7612]

Great job Andy. Really enjoy watching your video from TN

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks 👍

[@johnmarlin4661]

Watchn from Phoenix Az Capt Andy . Fine video n audio

[@Ronald-gy9yd]

Thank you for everything

[@microndep]

Thanks for the update

[@MinorcanMullet]

You bet

[@marshahunt701]

The workers are doing a fine job with zero injuries. As far as containers, there still hazemat materials on the starboard side and under the steel sticking up.

[@taramriley5665]

I saw that they didn't put charges on that steel Because of those hazmat materials/containers. I wish I could remember where I saw that..but they are having to remove that steel with as little damage to those containers as possible.

[@raymason5779]

I can’t believe there’s only one 1000 tonne crane available and it has to do the main straight lifting and ‘claw’ work. Where are all the other major cranes up to 20,000 tonne lifting capacity for the worlds most important salvage job?

[@MinorcanMullet]

Kept away by the Jones Act

[@georgehandel5908]

There is much larger, more capable equipment in Singapore, and elsewhere in Asia, that could likely have that mess cleaned up in a week or two. Jones act certainly prevents that.

[@raymason5779]

I thought the Jones act only affected the transport of goods. There are several 10,000t plus capacity floating cranes in Europe. Why isn’t this part of the discussion?

[@Retired_911]

Beautiful day. Bit windy. Thanks again ❤

[@MinorcanMullet]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sergiobezerra1501]

Good morning.!!!!!

[@MinorcanMullet]

Morning!

[@lornaperryman489]

Just got through talking to a friend in california. She had no idea that there was Abridge collaps. I send her your information so she can find It herself

[@MinorcanMullet]

Share away!!!

[@georgeschikschneit7142]

Andy I would love if you. Did a short video on your equipment it is amazing would love to know how it works

[@darrenkane2208]

Good evening sir from the uk

[@MinorcanMullet]

Hello there!

[@hohner51]

Gives the term "Glacial Pace" a whole new meaning.

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

When are they are they planing to move the ship ? Do they have a plane for a time to move the ship out to a docking area so they can remove all the Debre In the channel area ? Or are they waiting for a opening in tide or debre to clear the ship of material on it ?

[@ChristineKing-vk3ko]

Good morning Captain Andy! I enjoy your daily films. Great clarity and it’s nice to hear what’s happening. Any idea when the Dali is gonna start moving?

[@MinorcanMullet]

Haven't heard a peep!

[@R1Armadill0]

'Who's in charge here?" "The CLAW" "The claw decides who will go and who will stay!" :)

[@joekelley1014]

4 K video last night was well done!

[@walterkehn2459]

What radio frequency are you using

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

Audio is great in NC ,the radio traffic is breaking up.

[@samuelcollins1331]

“Let’s do a grab and see what we get??” Well that’s about where we are folks! Thanks for stopping by and we appreciate your support. Next big move: Dragging this hunk of busted up ship over to Seagirt so life can proceed,,,

[@MinorcanMullet]

From what I've heard since the livestream ended-----the claw came up with a bigun.

[@joeysharp7786]

Some great video form that distame awesome

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks 👍

[@servant167311]

Servant16731 Andy for your info the ship has 10 tons of water pumped in the bow to keep it in the mud and yes there is a lot of debris weight on the bow also but when she ready to move they will pump out the bow and it will rise./

[@darrenkane2208]

Hi Andy would you know how they plan to remove that large section near the ship ?

[@utahfrenchie]

That yellow excavator appears to be moving steel beams and other items from point A to point B

[@HamlinCarson]

amazing views

[@randylplampin1326]

5:00 (To the voices of the aliens in "Toy Story":) The claw!!

[@jeanettewolfenbarger1256]

I live on the west coast of the U.S. and I am not having any trouble hearing you.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Thanks. Some were having trouble

[@flight6662]

Wht radio channel they use

[@TomNorton-wz1rx]

That ship sitting there really slows everything down, hopefully they can get it out of there pretty soon

[@RitaFarrow]

like u said not a lot going on,why is it that the steel upright on the bow has not been removed ,surely that would have been the first lift to do, so 3hrs of nothing i am sorry to say

[@jimbtx-xx1cq]

Anyone else have a different set up today? the Chat/comments are "below the live picture instead of beside it?

[@taramriley5665]

It's not a live chat anymore. Went off live @3pm Baltimore time

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

Doing what ? Driving the tugs around ? They should have stayed with the ship until the ship cleared the bridge ! In case of a problem that was caused by loss of engine power as it happened a mile or so more would have prevented the crash ! They should make it a law that the ships that size should be escorted out of the bay and be out in ocean waters ! The ship wasn’t clear of the bridge supports !

[@byronfuelling5879]

The Audio sounds good on my end.

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

What is the big round thing at the barge with the bumpers on it?

[@MinorcanMullet]

I think what you are seeing is a dolphin

[@mikeh2520]

Battery gets low which makes the headroom of the audio get lower so it becomes easier to exceed the headroom of the audio which causes clipping distortion. Clipping distortion may cause a dynamic range limiter to dip your audio level during the clipping event.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I don't monitor the audio. Too much latency and the crew lets me know pretty quickly when the wheels come off

[@avlnavybrat]

Hi Andy and crew

[@MinorcanMullet]

Hello!

[@marshahunt701]

These barges and cranes are sure in tight spaces.

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

What is that beside the claw???

[@markblain8438]

Why propulsion is on same circuits as rest of vessel looks like a bad string of Christmas tree lights

[@Sperry23]

I may be missing something, but LiveChat seems to be unavailable or disabled.

[@mikegalgano4567]

not live anymore

[@ronald6138]

it is over , Finished , No More chat . No Mas

[@polisagora2811]

Could they use the smaller cranes to remove cargo containers ? They will need to do that to lighten it anyway.

[@highviewranch1]

this is like watching paint dry not much debrie being removed

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

What is the round thing floating by the claw?

[@MinorcanMullet]

Temporary Channel Bouy

[@mikedavis4411]

You would think at least one crane would have a magnet on it. Seems like it would be quicker..

[@stevelaudico5631]

I've been watching since the bridge collapse. I see another of Crain booms sitting idle just wondering why .

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

Are they planning to open any of the containers ? Or just shipping them out to there destination marked on them when they first saw the cars sticking out of one or two of the containers that were broken open ! Some word was that the cars were stolen and were headed over seas as stolen cars from the Baltimore area ? They had license plates on them checking to see if the cars were stolen !

[@microndep]

Is the Dali still aground or did she float when the weight was lifted?

[@user-yv8qq9xp7h]

Theres no way they will move that ship this weekend with that many cranes they should have cleared that deck by now

[@GeorgeShirah]

🤣😂🤣😂 if they started the day of the wreck pulling of containers with cranes and chains putting them on a barge and then pushing it to the port to unload they would still not have them all off 🤣😂🤣😂 A good Port Crane Operator (specially equipped with a spreader bar for picking up containers) does about 25-30 continents an hour, there’s 4700 +/- containers on the ship

[@ericanderson8691]

I've seen that same claw used on the Weeks 533

[@MinorcanMullet]

Yes I have too!

[@roadgeneral]

Why did the ship change coarse to the starboard. It was a big change of coarse. Not explained in the NTSB report.

[@normanmcgill6917]

It lost electrical power and there was a fuel pressure problem too. The wind and tide just took over.

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

I see the channel, the round thing isn't there now, it was big enough to set the claw on,it had tires around it I thing!

[@MinorcanMullet]

That may be a dolphin. Not sure what you are seeing.

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

It was there at the start before the cranes started moving?

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

Great video??. I leaned a lot!

[@MinorcanMullet]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joeysharp7786]

Is the weeks working on the same piece as cheeze.we see his lines moving

[@MinorcanMullet]

No.

[@user-wr9dr6qj2c]

How much can the Wiklikes pickup,It looks like it would pickup at least half of what's out of the water?

[@MinorcanMullet]

533 tons

[@michaelnewby7597]

Watching from the UK a great site BUT please don't over talk so much when the VHF radio communication is talking 😊

[@MinorcanMullet]

Noted!

[@raybruneau4726]

TX news air video of OIL

[@ghtaboma]

Wonder if this “claw” could have lifted that Russian sub worked on by the Glomar Explorer?

[@rareform6747]

4hours ?

[@AlbertGreen-st3os]

Bridge has been closed in Galveston

[@MinorcanMullet]

Yikes

[@joeysharp7786]

The armchair minions never end.you have to go slow and safe

[@brendaladigo1383]

What are they talking about when they talk about spuds??

[@lesamos8900]

Why have they not used the claw to remove debris from the bow of the ship is that to hard

[@MinorcanMullet]

Probably cause too much damage to the ship

[@user-yv8qq9xp7h]

I bet the crane hire guys are rubbing their hands take it steady lads we’re making a fortune here

[@almeidacheang7853]

why they dont load down the containers

[@johnwhitaker7657]

How soon to move the Dalia an does anybody know what happened that caused this.

[@user-yv8qq9xp7h]

Its like watching paint dry

[@markblain8438]

The sun is an M class star so makes sense. Red dying star

[@user-yv8qq9xp7h]

Nearly four hours and the only way it’s live is sea birds flying about I’d sack the lot and get some workers in

[@taramriley5665]

and 17 minutes after the live Ole Gus pulls a bunch out of the water. Today was not our day

[@MinorcanMullet]

Ahhhhhhh. Missed it!

[@taramriley5665]

@@MinorcanMullet ahh well 🤷🏻‍♀️ whatcha gonna do lol. You have the best live out there. I'm sure Chessie will be picking up more stuff for us to see

[@edmcelhone4501]

they might have divers in water to pin point where to drop it

[@marshahunt701]

The shear looks like a lobster claw.😅

[@normanmcgill6917]

Why does the "claw" move so slow?

[@garyc39]

Sure takes a long time to lower the claw

[@michaelcarltock3223]

Here's a crazy idea. Send the claw operator a Go-pro to the claw

[@MinorcanMullet]

Can't see 1' in this water. Be a brown screen.

[@mikea1893]

well looks like 4 hrs of nothing getting dun to me, the Crain companies are making a killing on this one.

[@garryharrington8255]

THE ONLY THING GOING ON HEAR IS THE EVER RISING COSTS

[@MinorcanMullet]

I here ya.

[@RitaFarrow]

well its not a hive of activity is it all them cranes just sitting there,

[@RonaldSchmidt-jt9gx]

Big section being put on barge

[@user-mt6ei5lh2j]

Why so slow with the crane

[@MinorcanMullet]

Easy and steady wins the day

[@opieshomeshop]

I see a bunch of nothing happening.

[@tyronebiggims1613]

Union milking this one for every penny.

[@johnkoehler5380]

Distractions from other things

[@joeysharp7786]

Too lift that much weight that crane most be revved up about ten times or more.

[@markschmalenberger8301]

It feels like three days of watching paint drying. Sorry, just saying.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Check out the videos posted that are sped up.
