The ship was probably hacked. A shipfag video i watched explained that if the motor went down the propeller would basically free wheel behind the ship. The water being forced through a draging propeller would encourage a turn to starboard. Also, the police chatter blocking off the bridge repeats that the steering was out. This was either a very unfortunate situation or a very well orchestrated attack.
JUST so everyone knows...these ships INCLUDING cruise ships have a "back-up" STEERING SYSTEM in the AFT part of the ship...which too me means that this was a deliberate attack...FYI!!!
Right.
The known challenge to using the aft steering is time and man power. Not to mention the distance needed to cover to effectively manipulate it in the minutes between the failure/hack and collision.
It's very reasonable to conclude this was created and no accident. It's a safe assumption that the SOP of what the crew did and the turning to starboard of a drifting vessel would have been studied and known to whomever pulled this off.
I'm really surprised the media didn't use this as a "Sum of all Fears" reason to get normies to want to attack Russia and not just forget the diddler epstien. Makes me think it was our clowns using an old play they've prepared long ago but didn't capitalize on it because they were rushed for a distraction.
