Doesn't matter what anything looks like on video, though. It is simply impossible to say either way, especially with an untrained eye. So many factors tie in. Power loss doesn't mean engine failure. Wind and current can take over. Condition of rudder. etc etc.
A mile of water that it could drift on. But it steers right into a small area where the support is. Sometimes critical thinking is connecting dots and seeing the obvious.
Do not expect ChinaJoe to say or do anything other than his masters tell him to.
Commenting on my original post here. After seeing a lot of video of the incident and expert maritime professionals who posted video of the incident start to finish, I'm now confidently leaning toward this ship was electronicky compromised, and intentionally steered into the bridge support pier due to the tremendous amount of "coincidences" that lead this ship to crash into the pier thus brining down then entire structure. Giving something time to marinade is a good thing.
It only needs tugs to get into the channel then there job is done. The only boat that might have been near would be the pilot boat to recover the pilot as soon as the ship cleared the channel.
If you watch the video posted on the board last night, it is clear the boat steered itself right into the support beam. Looked completely planned.

Glad to see critical thinking is still a thing. I hate this jump to conclusions with zero evidence thing.
Crawling to conclusions might be more thorough and leave less room for error, but jumping to conclusions is way more fun.

One main comment I saw was where is the vessels escort boat ?

meanwhile some derps are claiming the ship steered in that direction because they dropped anchor and it pulled the ship that direction.
SMH... the things people will believe in their normalcy bias.
Shall we go to war and begin killing a lot of people?
To do nothing is a suicide.
Where to place the blame?
Indeed.
