    What the hell are people debating here? A 150.000 tonne object crashed into a structure made of thin sticks (comparatively speaking). There is no doubt that the bridge would collapse. Especially since an arch is only stable if it is undamaged.

      “Can a cargo ship really lose steering even if power is lost?”

      That’s the caption of a video I just went and found on Facebook shared by one of my distant hillbilly acquantances. I’m not even going to watch to see what it’s about.

        Honestly it wouldn’t be a terrible idea to have backup power for the steering.
