  • well they're making good progress here
  • up at the side of the Francis Scott Key
  • bridge collapse in Baltimore after it
  • was hit by the MV Dolly ship that you
  • see there in the center of the screen so
  • this morning at about 8:30 they brought
  • in the Chesapeake 1000 Crane that you
  • can see off to the right the tall yellow
  • one next to the four concrete pillars
  • and so right around noon they finally
  • got it lifted up out of the water and
  • now you can see they're moving and I I
  • was watching this uh live here and so I
  • going on they basically just lifted it
  • straight up out of the water and then
  • they moved it with the barge and it's
  • being craned right now it's actually
  • hanging from the crane suspended by
  • these massive chains and they're just
  • 0:43
  • moving it out of the area and taking it
  • 0:46
  • over probably to the Sparrow's Point
  • 0:48
  • where they're bringing all of the other
  • 0:50
  • debris so here it's being turned around
  • 0:53
  • um by the tugboats and it's going to be
  • 0:56
  • just moved away so there you can see the
  • 0:57
  • piece hanging there and floating
  • 1:00
  • that is a massive
  • 1:02
  • piece now I don't know how heavy that is
  • 1:05
  • but I would imagine that it it could be
  • 1:07
  • as much as a th000 Tong now on one of my
  • 1:09
  • previous videos here on this series on
  • 1:11
  • the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse
  • 1:13
  • here in Baltimore I had mentioned that
  • 1:15
  • they're bringing in cranes that can lift
  • 1:17
  • some heavy amounts of truss once they
  • 1:20
  • cut it up off of the Del then of course
  • 1:22
  • some of you challenged me on that and
  • 1:25
  • you said a thousand tons you know people
  • 1:26
  • were sending me comments like I was
  • 1:27
  • crazy but you know let me explain I try
  • 1:30
  • to use real facts that I've already
  • 1:32
  • researched ahead of time when I say
  • 1:34
  • something so where did I get my
  • 1:36
  • information I went right to the Don John
  • 1:38
  • website and right there on the data
  • 1:40
  • sheet for the Chesapeake 1000 Crane it
  • 1:43
  • says very clearly on here you can see it
  • 1:46
  • says under lift capacity 1,000 short
  • 1:50
  • tons at 63 feet maximum radius fenders
  • 1:53
  • to hook now a short ton refers to what
  • 1:55
  • we call 2,000 lb here in the US so that
  • 1:58
  • means this crane can handle a th000 and
  • 2:00
  • tons so I don't know why all of these
  • 2:02
  • people came in and just started like
  • 2:03
  • treating me like I didn't know anything
  • 2:05
  • what I was talking about and and and
  • 2:07
  • here's a duh Factor here for you the
  • 2:09
  • name Chesapeake 1000 maybe the fact that
  • 2:11
  • there's 1,000 in the name should have
  • 2:13
  • been a tip off to you that this thing
  • 2:15
  • can handle 1,000 tons so right around
  • 2:18
  • 1:30 or so this afternoon is when they
  • 2:20
  • were able to get this thing floated up
  • 2:23
  • and moving so remember the crane arrived
  • 2:25
  • at about 9:00 a.m. they were done
  • 2:27
  • getting everything secured by about 12
  • 2:29
  • 12 noon and they started to raise it up
  • 2:32
  • out of the water and then by 1:30 they
  • 2:35
  • started moving it away from the debris
  • 2:37
  • site where they're taking it away now if
  • 2:38
  • you are interested in watching them move
  • 2:40
  • these large pieces of debris and Bridge
  • 2:42
  • truss out of the way you can go directly
  • 2:44
  • to their stream time live it's a live
  • 2:46
  • stream and I'll put the link to it down
  • 2:48
  • below for you in the video description
  • 2:50
  • and by the way when you get to their
  • 2:51
  • live stream hey make sure you leave a
  • 2:53
  • few bucks give them a donation help them
  • 2:54
  • out with their new cameras um they had
  • 2:56
  • some problems with some of their
  • 2:57
  • equipment last week and so a bunch of us
  • 3:00
  • chipped in and donated some money so
  • 3:02
  • they can get more cameras and so you
  • 3:04
  • know you can do that too by doing this
  • 3:06
  • so the way you can do this is when
  • 3:07
  • you're watching the live stream you can
  • 3:09
  • come over here to the chat and you see
  • 3:12
  • this dollar sign in the Square show your
  • 3:14
  • support so you could click right on
  • 3:16
  • there you can leave them a what we call
  • 3:18
  • a super chat so that's what I do here
  • 3:21
  • super chat like this and you can say
  • 3:22
  • whatever amount you can type in whatever
  • 3:24
  • amount you want you can be10 you can do
  • 3:26
  • $20 right there like that and that's how
  • 3:29
  • you it you buy and send so if we look at
  • Which bridge truss section was moved?
  • 3:32
  • the wreckage so it appears they probably
  • 3:34
  • moved out half of this section I would
  • 3:36
  • think it was probably this piece right
  • 3:39
  • here so they're rapidly clearing this
  • 3:41
  • part of the channel which as you know is
  • 3:43
  • going to be part of that new limited
  • 3:45
  • access part of the channel that they
  • 3:47
  • want to have done by the end of April
  • 3:50
  • which will be 35 ft deep and then by the
  • 3:53
  • end of May they hope to have all of the
  • 3:57
  • rest of this cleared out now you'll
  • 3:59
  • notice that they lifted up out of this
  • 4:01
  • area right here out of this truss was
  • 4:04
  • just the truss the road is still at the
  • 4:07
  • bottom so what they haven't been clear
  • 4:09
  • about yet is are they going to pull up
  • 4:11
  • the road yet at this point are they
  • 4:13
  • going to try to scoop all of that stuff
  • 4:15
  • up and get it out of there or just leave
  • 4:16
  • it there and that's why we have a 35 ft
  • 4:19
  • depth that's what we're unsure of at
  • 4:22
  • this point or at least I haven't seen
  • 4:24
  • any actual comments directly from the
  • 4:27
  • unified command on this topic so here
  • 4:31
  • when we look at the later sonar images
  • 4:34
  • that were given to us just a few days
  • 4:35
  • ago here's the four pillars and I
  • 4:38
  • believe this is the section that they
  • 4:40
  • cut up right here and lifted this whole
  • 4:41
  • thing up and out and the stuff is still
  • 4:43
  • on the bottom here but we know that
  • 4:45
  • they're trying to scoop up as much as
  • 4:47
  • they can and right here is where we
  • 4:49
  • think the construction vehicles
  • 4:52
  • are right in this area now one other
  • 4:55
  • thing I wanted to point out too is we
  • Conspiracy theories, why they exist, false evidence
  • 4:57
  • are still getting a lot of comments from
  • 4:59
  • all of these conspiracy theory people
  • 5:02
  • and let me just remind you don't fall
  • 5:03
  • into all of these traps and don't even
  • 5:05
  • waste your time reading them because
  • 5:07
  • it's just one level of foolishness after
  • 5:09
  • another a lot of these people like to
  • 5:11
  • spew out garbage a lot of them are just
  • 5:13
  • provocators they are spewing out garbage
  • 5:15
  • that is not based any type of real
  • 5:18
  • evidence when a lot of these people
  • 5:19
  • leave comments like they're doing these
  • 5:21
  • conspiracy theorists many of them are
  • 5:23
  • really just showing to the world their
  • 5:25
  • ignorance when here they think they're
  • 5:26
  • broadcasting some news or they're
  • 5:28
  • enlightening us so a classic example was
  • 5:31
  • the um Apollo missions and you know
  • 5:33
  • there's a lot of conspiracy theory
  • 5:35
  • people that say oh the Apollo missions
  • 5:37
  • never happen because the US didn't have
  • 5:39
  • the money and so they staged it and they
  • 5:41
  • faked it and all that one of the
  • 5:42
  • unbelievably stupid excuses they give is
  • 5:45
  • when you look at pictures of the men on
  • 5:47
  • the moon they look at that black
  • 5:48
  • background and they go where's the Stars
  • 5:51
  • why is there no stars in the photos it's
  • 5:53
  • got to be a conspiracy they definitely
  • 5:55
  • were not on the moon and it's just
  • 5:57
  • really stupid even as a teenager when
  • 5:59
  • when I first heard this I laughed cuz I
  • 6:01
  • was always into photography I had my own
  • 6:03
  • dark room I knew how to take pictures
  • 6:05
  • and I knew how to take pictures of the
  • 6:06
  • sky at night do you want to know the
  • 6:08
  • reason why there is no stars on the
  • 6:10
  • pictures on the Moon I mean think about
  • 6:11
  • it just use your head for one second and
  • 6:14
  • think I'll give you a few seconds to
  • 6:16
  • think okay so the reason why there's no
  • 6:18
  • stars in those images when you set up a
  • 6:20
  • camera on the moon and you're taking a
  • 6:21
  • picture in that bright sunlight chances
  • 6:23
  • are they're probably using and and keep
  • 6:27
  • in mind they're using film cuz this was
  • 6:28
  • back in the late 1960s you're probably
  • 6:31
  • using a shutter speed of maybe 125th of
  • 6:35
  • a second maybe a 250th of a second maybe
  • 6:38
  • even a 500th of a second possibly at f8
  • 6:41
  • f11 or F16 that would be my guess that's
  • 6:44
  • what I would probably start off with now
  • 6:46
  • keep in mind folks this is important in
  • 6:50
  • order for stars to show up in a picture
  • 6:53
  • you have to expose the star for at least
  • 6:56
  • 15 seconds 15 to 20 seconds is what
  • 6:59
  • makes a star show up in an exposure now
  • 7:02
  • if you're shooting in bright sunlight at
  • 7:04
  • 125th or a 250th of a second you can
  • 7:07
  • forget about stars showing up so when
  • 7:09
  • people were making those dumb statements
  • 7:11
  • like that even as a teenager I was
  • 7:13
  • laughing my butt off thinking these
  • 7:14
  • people are just unbelievably uninformed
  • 7:18
  • and hey the proof is in the pudding next
  • 7:20
  • time it gets dark outside take your cell
  • 7:23
  • phone go outside take a picture of the
  • 7:25
  • sky what are you going to see when you
  • 7:27
  • take your picture of the nighttime sky
  • 7:28
  • you're not going to see Star Stars you
  • 7:30
  • might yeah you'll see the moon you might
  • 7:32
  • see like Sirius one of the brighter
  • 7:35
  • stars out there but you're not going to
  • 7:37
  • see any stars at all because that
  • 7:39
  • requires a lot more exposure time so
  • 7:41
  • don't pay any attention to any of the
  • 7:43
  • conspiracy stuff until they show you
  • 7:45
  • proof like oh here's here's proof that
  • 7:47
  • somebody hacked into a system or
  • 7:48
  • whatever most of the systems on the
  • 7:51
  • bridge on the on the dolly ship are not
  • 7:54
  • even attached to internet so they
  • 7:55
  • couldn't even be hacked and by the way
  • 7:58
  • not only that you really need to
  • 7:59
  • question the maturity of some of these
  • 8:02
  • people that they would you know with
  • 8:03
  • total callousness go out there and put
  • 8:06
  • comments like this that could be seen by
  • 8:08
  • families of the victims of the people
  • 8:10
  • who lost their lives it it's like
  • 8:12
  • slapping them in the face so there's you
  • 8:14
  • know you have your maturity issues there
  • 8:16
  • and keep in mind that a lot of these
  • 8:18
  • people you know what else they're doing
  • 8:19
  • too they create all of these accounts
  • 8:21
  • under like ladies names thinking you'll
  • 8:23
  • be more gentle on them by doing it under
  • 8:25
  • pretending to be some dumb uninformed
  • 8:27
  • girl like oh I don't know anything about
  • 8:29
  • this sort of topic but didn't I just see
  • 8:31
  • an explosion in the background go off at
  • 8:33
  • the same time that the bridge was
  • 8:35
  • collapsing you know all sorts of stupid
  • 8:37
  • things like that and it's like why are
  • 8:39
  • you wasting your time forming all of
  • 8:41
  • these accounts and doing all of this
  • 8:43
  • nonsense and spreading all of this
  • 8:45
  • garbage on the I mean what could you
  • 8:47
  • possibly gain from it it's not making
  • 8:49
  • you any money in fact it's taking you
  • 8:51
  • away from earning money or maybe you
  • 8:53
  • don't even have a job at all maybe
  • 8:54
  • you're just drunk and living down in
  • 8:55
  • your mom's basement I have no idea it's
  • 8:57
  • impossible to explain this kind of
  • 8:59
  • foolishness with a logical mind uh now
  • 9:02
  • one other thing too is if you if you're
  • 9:04
  • new here to the channel make sure you

  • 9:16
  • those and then make sure you check out
