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

To avoid the bridge they didn't even need the main though realistically did they? They already had forward momentum of 9 knots headed in the right direction. Seems like steering was the bigger issue here? The thrust over the rudder certainly helps, but it seems like they had no rudder control for a minutes(I didn't count) while they were covering the final 2/3s of a mile to the bridge? At 9 knots 2/3 of a mile would have taken 4 mins or so, so no real rudder control for 4 mins?
