A ship like this would have generators, right?
Yes, multiple.
It wouldnt necessarily have to be a fire. It could be any number of things. Like I mentioned in my previous post, could be as simple as a clogged filter.

Just saw this on twitter. Guess it’s from presser:
I wonder if the 7 cars that went in were the construction vehicles. That doesn’t explain the semi though

Def not terrorists or intentional. You can see in the videos the ship loses power, restarts, then loses power again before drifting to its right and hitting the bridge. The black smoke billowing upon the first restart shows that likely the main diesels shut down and had to be restarted. The steering would probably be linked to the power from the main motors, not generators. Could be something as simple as a power distribution system breaker tripping, like one in your house.
Based on initial observations it looks like the boat lost steering right before it approached the bridge. Very bad timing and luck. At least it didnt occur when more people were on the bridge.
