Still calling BS on the narrative.

Power went “out” just like magic
Did not bother to drop anchor
Engines cut out
Guys driving the boat forgot how to drive that boat
Just happens to be the biggest port that handles the heavy and large loads

They DID drop at least the port anchor. Starboard anchor, can’t tell. Too much damage. Probably would not have mattered much, though it could have made steerage control worse.

There’s no indication the engines failed. In fact, it appears they were trying to back down at max power, but backing down hard can easily cause loss of control.

Electrical failure could definitely mean essentially no control. So “driving the boat” is irrelevant.

That leaves us with the electrical failure itself. Experienced mariners say it’s not common, but it happens. Or you could add a “sh” to that.

If terrorism, why did the ship send out a warning, but no indication of being hijacked, etc.?
