I watched the video over and over. Ship turns off lights before impact, possibly to keep people from noticing its hitting bridge. Massive smoke is from pilot literally gunning it into pillar and continue to throttle up until pillar snaps. Looks deliberate to me. Took a lot of power behind the helm to snap that support pillar. I’ve seen barges hit bridges, carrier vessels hit pillars. This leads old different, looks like this vessel was deliberately pushing as much as it could, noticeable especially by the smoke from the engines. If they were having engine troubles ALL boats have a kill switch that cuts the engines and fuel tanks off. So this theory somehow that they lost control is under non sense. You have a kill switch, you drop anchors and you pray the water steers you away from structures
Lights out could indicate power issue. I'd imagine the ship steers by wire? But agree it's all sketchy with many questions needing answers. Given the times I think suspicions are warranted. Wonder if they'll relate it to the isis attacks on Russia somehow?
