Looking at the footage, it looks as if the container ship just straight up t-boned the bridge footing; but it’s easy to coach from the stands.

don't know the facts but I heard they lost power. I spent a couple years on ships, In my opinion it won't be as simple as "they weren't paying attention"

I know bar pilots that lived lives of stress due to wind and other unforeseen weather events that could throw their rigs off course. I just hope this wasn’t a terrorist affiliated situation. It’s horrible enough just as an accident.

Seems to have been a possible engine failure

Thank you both for your not hysterical input. I had a doctor appointment and then deliveries, so I haven’t had any new information. It is a horrific situation, but I can deal much better with clinical facts than hyperbole.
