Thank you for the update.

THe ship was under the control of 2 local pilots. The ship ppers to have lost electrical power just before the collision, but why did the pilots not steer the ship center span of the bridge?

MOst high tonnage ships have at least one tug to take them out on slack tide. Now the tide is incoming, about a foot they say.

Just waking up to this event. The bridge collapse appears to be as efficient as a planned demolition.
