Wow.. the color and clarity of the video is outstanding Captain 👌

[@PeaPodTheSquirrel]

Unbelievable clarity! Speeding the video up really shows the work that's being done. Thank You Andy!

[@wickedcabinboy]

@VirtualParentalUnit - Those are huge cranes and they move slowly and carefully. So if one watches in real time for any period of time, it looks like they're moving in slow motion.

[@debbieclark420]

Capt. Andy, thank you so much for your time in showing what's going on in Baltimore. Here in NC, our media outlets seem to have forgotten about this.

[@doughooks7411]

Same here in VA.

[@bobalki]

Always appreciating all you’re doing bringing these videos into our homes.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I appreciate that!

[@maxmacdonald7174]

Thank you for showing the condensed version and for being out there to video it.

[@trama110]

What blows me away is... the size of the workers. They are like ants. The cranes and bridge debris are huge. The scale of this operation is enormous.

[@gerardjohnson2106]

This is a great service you are providing for the Country. I would never get to see any of this in Kentucky without your efforts. Thank you for bringing this to us. 👍👍👏👏🇺🇲

[@normrandle7640]

The clarity is outstanding!!

[@Craftingmom011]

Thank you! This is absolutely awesome. I enjoy the live but this is even better. Everybody stay safe.

[@randys1956]

Hi Andy, great vidio again today. I find the Dale Pyatt Dredge and amazing piece of equipment. A 60 yard clam bucket with a single line and lifting huge chucks of the bridge structure. It must have a massive winch and hoist cable.

[@Captain.Creepy]

Sorry I missed the livestream today. Thank you For posting this video to keep us informed. Shows us how much is going on with this daunting task!

[@MinorcanMullet]

No problem!

[@davidmiller6010]

Nice job Captain Andy! Thank you.

[@RichardQuaid]

Great work! I love watching the little yellow excavator with the hydraulic shear working to free the sections for the crane on the left pulling steel from the channel. He has to rely on the tug to move his barge around. Great team work.

[@matthewschofield9330]

Hello Richard . The little yellow excavator is a Komatsu PC 1250 and is actually quite large weighing 125 tons . But it is dwarfed by those huge cranes ! 😊

[@RichardQuaid]

@@matthewschofield9330 Thanks for the info! I've worked on building demolition sites in Chicago. Supplying Bobcats with hydraulic hammers and grapple buckets to wrecking companies. Fascinating work, never a dull moment.

[@user-dm8ho5gy5y]

Awesome video coverage Andy we thank you may the progress continue God bless all of the workers. Be safe out there

[@raypresley7965]

Cannot even begin to understand or to appreciate all the complications the crews are experiencing. Wishing all of you God's speed going forward. Congratulations in making such good progress and without anyone else getting hurt.

Thank you Capt. Andy!

[@ourv9603]

The bridge section on the Dali is SO heavy, it has the Dali pressed against the bottom of the bay. Until that bridge section is removed & the Dali refloats, the Dali cannot pull out of there. !

[@1rembo69]

I am already spool with sped up video & the quality of the 4K video!!! The audio is spot on!!!!

[@bumblebee7922]

What an AWESOME video!!! Thank you!!! SO much going on to watch. I LOVE it!

[@RunningInLondon]

These videos are amazing. The speeded up setting is perfect. I cant help but think of the little Dozer Fraggles that would be building things out of sugar. Thanks for providing us with these viideos. Love from Canada

[@grannieannie1371]

Wow a lot happened today, it fascinates me when you see the men cutting the steel just how tiny they are. It shows how huge this task is. And the "little" yellow cutter thingy helping the clam jaws looks for all the world like a dog chewing something when it's sped up. Thanks for doing this, it's really interesting, from Australia

[@kenneill7202]

Hey Andy; For some reason the comment audio is very garbled and low VU on our Apple TV for the last few days. Thank GOD it sounds great on the iPad. Thank you for all that you do. Ken

Awsome again Capitain Andy.

[@refurbansuburban]

Amazing 4K footage, Captain Andy!

[@Captain.Creepy]

At 4:20 minutes into the video--Dale Pyatt pulls up a MESS and the little yellow crab-claw crane ate away at it until it was able to be lifted from the water. AMAZING!

[@vanessamoolman278]

Loved watching this part, precision teamwork. Following from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦, thank you for the update

[@reneeparker7475]

My hat's off to the crane operators and the crew that gives them guidance. Awesome work.

[@virginiaoflaherty2983]

Whoever is working that yellow piece of equipment that is nibbling away at road bed , handles it with such dexterity, it is an extension of his body and mind. Awesome to see. Bravo. I guess everyone on site is expert in such things. Very impressive.

[@michaelmcleod1579]

Great video and very interesting info.

[@wickedcabinboy]

Don't forget part of the support pillar beneath the 4 lanes of road bed on the fore deck of the Dali. That's a huge chunk of reinforced concrete. And it's still attached to the foundation with many, many strands of rebar.

[@RexFlashMinistries]

Thanks for all your great work. Suggest that you set up a Patreon account for the channel so we can easily give you money

[@kcook4243]

Love your intro background music!

[@BlueWaves975]

Is it just me or does it look like we can see some of the areas where they've already implanted the demolition charges? On the upper left side of the main bridge truss that is lying on the ship, I can see a few spots with what looks like a dark wrapping around the girder, about where the diagram showed the charges would be placed. Four on the left, and one on the right, what I've been able to pick out so far. Edited to add: At 10:05 you can see them putting on another one, just up from the one already on the right. These are located not quite halfway down.

[@lizj5740]

Not just you: that is just what you're seeing. Well spotted. Cheers from Liz and Ginger (pic left) in Australia.

[@seeharvester]

Is there something along the bottom of the screen blocking the view of the water?

[@Jim-np9it]

Sir, you may have said already but where is homeport for the "big claw"? GOD bless and keep all safe.

[@MinorcanMullet]

Texas

[@turtledove1927]

Its Fri 11:33am in Baltimore. Don't expect too much today. It's overcast and a mist/sprinkle has been goin on all morning. They don't expect things to clear up too much this afternoon. Have a great day everyone.

[@629Justme]

At 5:26, guys finished cutting through the steel so it could be lifted away by crane. I wonder if a similar technique will be used when shaped charges are used to cut away at those girders, cranes rigged to the large sections so they won't have to be dredged up after the detonations? Will be interesting to see either way.

[@lizj5740]

The animation of the charges blowing, by USACE, shows them all falling into the water.

[@mattc.310]

Thanks for the views. Great images. If you're doing narration, it's very muddy and low. Static sounds like it's raining.

[@nathanmedlock5074]

The sound is missed up. Could you please fix it

[@MinorcanMullet]

It's a constant battle, but it was for the most part good today. Some found that by restarting the stream, it cleared right up

[@Z-Bart]

Is May 10, Friday, the target date for demolition charges? Sorry if my question was answered in the video. I kind of fast forwarded.

[@jimkayser2391]

Is there a gravel road behind the scene What causes the periodic dust trail that zooms through the rear of the frame 11:48

[@Slick1G3]

wondering if they will remove the road portion of the bridge here or move the boat back into port to do it??

[@countrytxrose]

Are they still removing the shipping containers from the ship?

[@randyk4482]

Do you know the plans for the piers? I assume they will have to be completely removed or close to it.

[@MinorcanMullet]

I'm pretty sure you are correct. New construction will most likely mean a fresh support system as well

[@johnpratt9429]

Just like being on scene

[@jeanhemphill7010]

How’s the eye?

[@FernGullyandtheLastKlumous]

At 4:00, is that a peaker or normal power plant? Anyone know?

[@tonydelaney3536]

My concern is for the hundreds of containers and their contents!! What happens to them? The goods in them have not been delivered on time, and is some cases have surely become contaminated ?? Will the contents simply be disposed of under insurance? Should be an interesting story to be told here!! Any takers?

[@andrewc4954]

Just wondering but why is their always static in the background? It may be obvious but I'm sort of new to watching these (awesome) videos

[@lizj5740]

Andy is "rebroadcasting" the radio traffic between the barges, tugs, and cranes. (And maybe some others, too.) That's the source of the static.
