The container ship wasn't even pretending to be in the marked channel under the bridge :o

It may have been trying to cut the corner to the west of Fort Carroll  but would have had plenty of room to clear the bridge first.

I take there was a pilot navigating it out of the port. Not a very good one if there was.

Migalot:
This is a much more informative video. You can see that the ship's lights go out, then come back on again and large plumes of exhaust (suggesting full emergency reverse?) all prior to the impact. To me, that suggests mechanical failure of some sort.

STEMO:
I read earlier that there were two pilots on board. Seems to have been some kind of equipment failure, it will all come out in the wash.

That certainly throws a different light on it :y looks like they'd almost bought the bow back around.
