Maybe it was an accident. These kinds of accidents do happen. And, I'm far from a shipping expert. But, seems to me that if the ship had any control at all, the space without support structure was awfully large for it to still manage a direct hit.
ETA.....Clearly, it was an accident now that more info has come out.
To those losing their minds about "conspiracy" theory. Um. I said it LOOKED bad initially and acknowledged I know crap about shipping. Saying it is "possible" something could be the case is far from saying it IS the case.
Regardless. Clearly, it appears the captain did everything he could to avoid the issue and to warn authorities.

This is going to be the issue. There are videos in the threads here showing it losing power as it approached and by the time they regained steerage, it was too late.

JFC. We need a conspiracy theory board.

Yes, it was.
Not everything is a conspiracy

I will need detailed records released before I concede it was accidental - not saying it wasn't; just saying I am not yet convinced...

I also wouldn’t rule out a Muslim terrorist attack as well. Likely accident, but you never know.

This was an accident, pure and simple.
Power goes out twice. Power going out once is bad enough. After it comes back on after the first outage, black smoke starts pouring out (indicative of trying to reverse the shite out of the engines), then power goes out again (fricking their attempt to reverse out of their uncontrolled drift).
The initial angle of the ship from the beginning of the video indicates it's likely approaching the bridge from the east (coming out of the Curtis Bay area). Power outages from that angle of approach would put it more in line with the southern support structure.
Ships that size don't stop, nor turn, on a dime. With that much mass spread over such a large area, it likely takes a mile or so just to stop it under normal conditions even if it's going only 3 or 4 knots.

I wonder if DEI has something to do with this? Lowering of standards can result in clusterf*cks such as this

There is no need for crazy conspiracy theories with this one.
But this is at least the third horrific event under Mayer Pete’s watch.
In a just world he would resign. Of course that won’t happen. I won’t be shocked to hear this blamed on Trump.

That ship is not real.

Them currents are a bitch. I'm no shipping expert either, but it don't take an Einstein to see that when you lose power on one of them huge ship, you've converted that ship into a floating battering ram.
I can only imagine the panic in those eighteen wheeler drivers as they watched that ship approaching the bridge. But then maybe not, they're professionals, they know what to do with their trucks when they face an emergency. Still, they must have sensed the Captain was having problems with the ship - that sudden bellowing smoke being a giveaway - something ain't right with that boat. So, if the ship lost power does that mean the Captain was unable to blow a warming? Prolly wouldn't have made any difference. Put the peddle to the metal. So many questions.
I'd expect a preliminary accident report to come out PDQ.

Lost power (electrical for sure). Had it slammed in reverse. You could see exhaust stack rolling full black smoke. Lights blink off several times.
Depending on rudder position and operability, it still makes boat flow a certain direction
There's an angle from the front where you can see this unfold. He had the bow finally swinging away from piling, but it was too late.
I do agree the thing was originally going to fast. Have no clue of speed regulations, but damn thing was moving quick

Take off your tin foil hats. The ship lost power and as a result lost steering ability.
