OMG, that's horrible.. Same thing happened here in the Tampa Bay area a few decades ago when a ship hit the Sunshine Skyway bridge in 1980..

Looks like the ship lost power at least twice before ramming the bridge pier.

Ya know prices are going up on everything if the port is closed for any longer than a few days.
Suprised it didn't have massive protection barriers especially being such both a large bridge and busy port. |

And it appears the ship was leaving port full of containers? |

You can see the ship go dark twice before impact.

If you watch closely, it looks like that initial turn was probably not a commanded turn. Obviously some electrical issues based on the lighting going on/off repeatedly. The plume of exhaust smoke gets very thick and black, probably when full astern power was commanded, but I'm guessing the steering was nonresponsive. Too much weight to slow down before impact even with full astern power.
