The container ship “U-Turn” came after the collision according to analysis here:

Speculation is that the container ship was on autopilot at 2:30am and hit the Fitz and by the time the container ship senior crew got up to the bridge to disengage the autopilot about 20 minutes passed...then the container ship flips the u-turn.
I guess I don’t get why everyone is saying ‘U-turn.’ Sorry for my ignorance. The track of the ship looks like it makes two U-turns to me. Like it made one U-turn to go back the way it came, and then another to go back the way it was going originally. Did it hit our ship after the first U-turn, then try to go back on course or something?

Has anyone yet speculated that the container ship’s autopilot may have been remotely hacked without it’s crew’s knowledge?
