re: Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed - container ship wrecked into it

I'm pretty sure you can see the port anchor go out like 20 seconds before they hit. Those ships are usually single screw with slow speed main engines and a basic generator plant. My guess is they tripped the plant and lost steering. There's basically no chance the main engine would have shut down. It takes 30 to 45 seconds for the emergency generator to come online and with the timing of it all, that was more than enough time for it to wreck.
