In the video, you can see it maneuvering and smoke coming out the stack as they hit the gas.
Working oil and gas shipping in Galveston/Houston we are well aware of the hazards.

Setup for plausible deniability from what I see.
Why would an electrical failure impact the Diesel or any engine for that matter? Having rudder control and propulsion a) dependent upon electric supply or b) not given priority in the backup scheme seems stupid. Really stupid. Full story not out.
Aren't we lucky? Imagine how bad a full collapse would have been
Do they assign the electricians to the mechanical systems?
So who is going to pay for our bridge??
“Loss of Engine Failure”
Double negatives equal a positive.
It could be called racist ti call it an undocumented mechanic verification job sccording to our new overlords of woke world. Documentation is just something that people who believe in law/order follow. In our new Woke Amerixa its anything goes. And if some mechanic verification doesn’t get their job done then yeah we’ll have bridges collapse and Hispanic family men killed. But the champions of undocumented things will keep on getting more wokr and turning America more chaotic.

Apparently, the problem was not fixed. I wonder who supposedly "fixed" it....
It was a horrible accident. Murphy’s Law states that if anything is possible to go wrong, it will go wrong, and at the worst possible time. The bridge was built (1977) before the advent of modern mega-containerships and even before the Tampa Bay Skyway Bridge allision (May 9, 1980). In light of how vulnerable this bridge was to ship allisions, there should have probably been an escort tug or two with the ship until she cleared the FSK Bridge. In the absence of any local regulation requiring escort tugs, Murphy’s Law prevailed.
