My armchair analysis:

The ship knew some minutes ahead of time that they were experiencing power issues, and warned the authorities. The bridge got closed for traffic, initially left-to-right, and, just in the nick of time, right-to-left. The "only" vehicles on the bridge at the time of collapse were emergency vehicles.

This could've gone a lot worse if it had happened during rush hour.

Dang, good call.

They talk about going to get the workers off the bridge once they get some more help.

Soon after, the bridge is down.

"The whole bridge just fell down. Start... start whoever... everybody. The whole bridge just collapsed."

Harbour pilots don’t literally drive the ship it’s still done by the regular crew. Ships do have multiple main power generators and it’s standard practise during manoeuvring to keep multiple on the board in order to avoid blackouts due to one making GBS threads the bed. Your power management system can poo poo the bed anyway and black you out despite this but ships have emergency back up power in the form of battery supply for minor systems and an emergency generator which will come online on a dead switchboard, this takes about a minute and only powers a select amount of emergency systems including one of the 4 steering gear motors.

Full recovery after a blackout involves the engine room restarting numerous systems and pumps and takes time and that’s in ideal circumstances. If the ship blacked out so close to the bridge there is literally almost nothing the crew could have done to stop an accident like this, even if you somehow dropped the anchors or slammed the engine in reverse it ain’t going to stop in that distance.

Sometimes people buy sex toys to have sex with. In this case it is a small portion of the human body that includes the genitalia, a bit of torso, a butt and a small section of leg.

How often do they do loss of steering/power outage/fire/etc drills?

I'm guessing not enough/as often as the insurance company requires

hunter biden's laptop had been smuggled out of dc and had made its way into one of the shipping containers where it was due to be airlifted out by a chinese stealth drone in exchange for a much needed upgrade to joe biden's ai/cgi tv persona. trump's intelligence operatives got wind of this and had positioned themselves on the bridge ready to capture footage of the deal, but a Foreign pilot hired via DEI practices got wind of this from Baltimore's DEI mayor and intentionally crashed the ship, sending the evidence - and joe's new chip - into the water. and now the race is on..

lol the boat didn't turn until the power was recovered. they probably dropped the anchor/reversed which caused the dovetail effect.

OR it was intentional
