The ship’s lights then blink back on right before it hits the bridge support.

A bunch of drivers are thanking God they were not a minute or two too soon or too late.

If a ship underway loses its steering, in what direction does it go?

Whatever direction it was already going.

This ship made a sharp turn into the bridge support.

The lights flickered on and off a couple times so they could claim electrical issues for the crash, but turned the lights BACK ON so that they wouldn’t MISS the bridge.

“I hope that was satire.”

Of course! Having spent time on larger vessels quite a bit in my past, I am familiar with their means of slowing down and changing course.

Power was lost. Main engine?

No back up generator?
