If it got t-boned by a 200 ton cargo ship it would have been cut in half, crushed and sunk
More like a glancing blow which is still devastating from such a large cargo ship

If you look at the hull of container ships there’s a below the waterline bulbous protrusion. The major damage to the Fitzgerald was below the waterline where it can’t be seen in the photos. The damage was due to simple physics.
