Here is the best view I have seen of the collision of the container ship and Francis Scott Key Bridge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDceU9x58vc I watch it closely. There is a 6 knots speed limit before and at the bridge. This ship was moving between 3 to 5 knots at best. The Captain should have been able to drop it anchors and stop the ship. It looks like, at this angle, the ship was directed to the bridge and ran into the pile holding the bridge up.

According to a statement from the Mayor, the ship was moving at 8 knots.
