The conspiracy theories about the ship collision are running wild

I have been driving commercial ships for 5 years and went to a school to do so - and scary enough, have lost steering while driving/navigating a ship

So here's the facts if anyone cares to know:

• When steering you are always at a rudder angle, let's say the rudder angle command was at 3 to 5 degrees to account for current and wind (totally normal when going through a channel). The second the ship loses steering (what happens when there is a power outage) it loses that rudder command and the external forces take over. Having a ship get turned quickly like this is 100% possible.
• No tugs are needed in that area of pilotage, a pilot is onboard but a ship losing steering is out of the control of the pilot
• Current and wind have a massive effect, especially in ship channels, ships of this size act like giant steel sails when there is no rudder or power
• The video is at 4x speed, so again everything in the video lines up with an extremely unfortunate accident
• It takes MILES for a ship to stop at this size and on top of this driving a ship is like driving a car on a road in complete ice road, once you make the act to turn the only way to stop that action is a counteraction
• It appears that the ship power went off and on two times, more than likely an engineering failure than anything not a navigation error Again I can't stress this enough, let's say the ship went dark a half mile before the bridge. The ship still easily could have collided with the bridge because every second steering is not applied the current and wind can drastically move the ship and heading like you would never believe. And with the size and momentum of the ship it likely wouldn't have time to recover its position to enter under the bridge.
