Yes, wind and current speed need to be taken into account.
However, would 2-7 kts of breeze and ~0.2-2 kts of current cause a ship of that size and weight to change course that drastically in that short of a distance (as seen in the video)?

“there is nothing that could have been done to that bridge including bolstering the piers which would have prevented the collapse
Are you sure?”
Yes

Don't know where to post this...probably nothing.
But, I live in rural Osage Co. OK...A couple hours ago...I saw two jets turn sharp around and go south. I have never seen that.
Have jet's all the time go over flyover country.
But this was different.
That's just what I saw...Yeah maybe nothing...Was just odd.

Looks more like a DEI accident.

...and constantly are in a circle jerk of blaming each other when problems happen.I’m reminded if the New Carissa incident. To avoid paying multi-thousand $$$ fees to have the longshoremen’s union labor open the hatches in port, the shop’s captain opened them as they sat anchored offshore. A storm came up, and the open hatches acted as sails, driving the ship into a beach.

I was monitorying the buoy FSKM2 at the bridge, at 1:58 AM, March 26, 2024:
Winds from the east at 8 knots, gusts to 11 knots.
Water temp. 42.8 deg F.
Later - an hour or so:
Winds from the east at 9 knots, gusts to 11 knots.
Water temp. 42.9 deg F.

A sharp turn -— fighter jets, I’m guessing?

Yeah, about "bolstering the piers which would have prevented the collapse", people don't realize that 100,000+ tons moving at 9 knots has momentum that bollards can't deal with, unless maybe you invest the same amount in the bolstering as in the bridge.

See my #47.
Anchors make poor emergency brakes. The New Carissa was driven from a dead, anchored stop by storm winds.

Diligent maintenance of the bridge would have included bolstering the piers to account for the increase in ship size over the years. I watched a drone video from the DOT and I could see virtually NO protection for the bridge piers.
I thought that after the Skyway Bridge collapse many years ago that every major bridge was equipped with pier protection.

I’m not that far from an (unnamed) base (about 40 miles) - there are days I hear a LOT of roar going overhead

In the video, you can see it maneuvering and smoke coming out the stack as they hit the gas.

Are you a seasoned sailor? do you have a commercial captains license?
Actually every sailor doesn't know that. Im a sailor and believe me, dropping anchor is NOT the first thing you do. It doesnt even make a top 7 things to do in a loss of power casualty..
How about,
Alerting the crew, ,
3 emergency blows to warn other ships to get out of the way,
send a mayday,
get control of the rudder by any and all means necessary,
clear the deck,
order emergency power cut to everything except steering,
order all shutdown safeties on the engines bypassed and get them started.
BTW, a silent Prayer was #1
the ship was 95,000 tons, at 8 knots they could have just as well jettisoned the anchor- it wouldnt stop that ship at 8 knots anyway.

So, as the early morning progressed, the wind went up a mph or two.
If that trend was the same for the 1/2 hour preceding when you were monitoring, the wind speed would have been around ~7 knots (or ~8 mph) with perhaps guests to 10 knots (or ~11.5 mph).
What was the distance the ship traveled when it lost power to impact? Would 8-12 mph winds be enough to cause that ship to change course that significantly in that span of distance?

To: mountainlion
If you look at the video to the crash it is obvious that the engines were full power form the excessive black smoke coming out of the stacks before the crash.Not necessarily.
There is often excessive black smoke when starting a diesel engine or a boiler.
Especially if you are in a hurry and maybe not feeding it the exact right air-fuel mixture.
