One reason I'm not accepting the "this was just a freak accident where a whole number of things went wrong" explanation is that if it were true, then for every case where all of those things went wrong, there ought to be multiple cases in which only some of them did. How many times does it happen that a cargo ship loses control of where it's going and hits something that's not a critical part of a bridge? How many of them just run aground? Or don't hit anything but have to have tugs chase them and rescue?
Don't ask me to believe that the one time this sort of system failure occurred, the ship just happened to be pointing in the worst possible direction. That says "enemy action".
Ships losing power isn't exactly 'frequent,' but it's perhaps 'uncommon.' Usually though, they're at sea, and that just means they drift for a bit before regaining power.
Particularly, there are 'problem ships' that have issues like this much more frequently than others, which the Dali was a known instance of. I've heard some word that things had gotten bad enough they should have had some substantial overhaul work done, but they decided to put that off to do at the next port; I've not seen enough sources on that to be fully sure about it yet.
If that
is the case, the people who made that decision are going to be
buried financially, and possibly end up on negligent manslaughter charges.
