US Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore's Salvage Plan | MV Dali & Francis Scott Key Bridge

Just a regular joe here. I appreciate your work. Thank you!

" This is not Watergate!" I needed that laugh today. Thanks!

Thank you for dispelling rumor, gossip and chatter with your expereince and knowledge.

Everyone that has sailed for any period of time, knows that Murphy was an optimist!

Thank you for this fantastic summary! I live in a residential waterway community on the Patapsco just downstream from the bridge. Many people don't realize that much of the outer part of the river is residential waterway communities that fully use our waterways for swimming, fishing, crabbing, boating, watersports, and more. Our communities continue to be concerned about timelines, relaxed environmental oversight and regulation to speed up the recovery, and potential pollution from the ship. We've been battling the state on planned dumping of contaminated harbor dredge off our shores for almost the last year. We even got a bill into the MD legislature. But it was killed immediately after the disaster. The shipwreck and bridge collapse ensured that little will stop the state from doing whatever it wants now. We're part of the ecologically precious Chesapeake Bay, but you'd never know it from the way they treat our river. It's all about the money from the shipping industry. I'll be sharing this with our communities.

We live in strange times. Rationality is extremely unpopular. You're fighting the good fight, Dr. M!

Peter Zeihan, the man who seems super smart until he starts talking about a topic you have knowlege about yourself.

10 years ago I did a simple river cleanup project. It is at the top of a tidal estuary so one could throw a stone across. The water and fish was Cal Fish and Wildlife. The river is Federal. The banks are state and the flats along the banks are city. The county would actually send me a dozen prisoners when there was a big job. But the hassles !!!

Fascinating to see the protection around the power line poles and the complete lack of protection around the bridge piers.

Thank the GameMasters for not having us drink when “Dali” is said. I’m still hung over from the BobEl-youknowwho.

I tell ya what since this accident and a trucker that took the key bridge frequently I discovered and been watching this channel since this accident happened and boy am I glad I did ! 😊 now when i think shipping I think Sal! This man is hands-down the very best knowledgeable professional talking youtuber I have ever heard break down technical information in a easy to understand format!!!! I also seen Sal on the news meaning even those stations know to call the best!!! Keep shining brother again us truckers thank you for the relentless updates 🤝

Thanks Sal for keeping us updated on the progress. I’m trucker & longshoremen in Delaware. I know how devastating this collapse has been on the community, longshoremen & truckers in Baltimore. I hope the channel can be clear soon, so the longshoremen & truckers can return to work.

I was about to abandon the interwebs for today, then you posted something.

Sal being here and challenging what is being presented is so vital. As long as there are eyes on this and it's not off to the next story where mediocre practices will go on as usual unnoticed, this channel is irreplaceable. The issues just make themselves known effortlessly. Thank You

We live in the Baltimore-Washington corridor and have a 22' dual console boat that we operate out of the Magothy River. We boated to the Inner Harbor last August and went under the Key Bridge. Thankfully, we took some video while cruising under the bridge, so we have lasting video of the bridge that is no more. Sal seems to be the most trusted source right now for accurate and detailed information as to what is being done to clear the channel. Thank you, Sal. You're a great instructor. Hopefully we can cruise to the Inner Harbor again this summer but who knows.... other priorities obviously must come first.

Great presentation of how the channel is being cleared. Just a minor correction… in engineering terms the Key Bridge structure is a truss, not a trestle. A trestle normally refers to the commonly seen matrix of splayed legs and bracing built under older railroad bridges.

Look forward to the Ziehan reply video. That man is an free ranging yarn teller. He'll issue authoritative commentary on anything and when he speaks about my industry his facts are always about 99% wrong. This should be fun.

ISO Containers are amazing inventions. I bought some for storage. An empty 40 high cube comes in at about 9500lbs. Can gross out at nearly 70000lbs. Can have over 400000lbs of containers stacked on it. Above the capability of most helos.

Great video Sal, as a mariner myself I appreciate the compassion you show for seafarers and dock workers. Most people just don't know anything about this facet of the world.

Thanks for always doing such great work in keeping us up to date
