[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][url]https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68667813[/url] this video from bbc does NOT show a u-turn [/quote] The video I watched showed it hitting the bridge head on. It tried to go backwards to stop, but I don't see that it turned.[/quote] Here’s the gps data for the route. It shows it turned towards the piling. I understand losing propulsion and steering, but wouldn’t is just continue going forward not turn? There was no wind. https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=563004200 https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=563004200 [/quote] Worth watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N39w6aQFKSQ It's too early to have real answers, but he thinks that 1) it dropped anchor and 2) that if they lost rudder control the torque from the engine would cause it to twist rather continuing to go straight forward even if the rudder was dead center when it lost power.[/quote]
