THIS! The ship supposedly had two harbor pilots onboard, but reports seem murky . . . .
Good article from a very reputable site:

“Ships are not required to have tugboat escorts when passing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge so they have limited ability to slow down on their own when they lose power and can not put the propeller into reverse.”
