Catastrophic Collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge After Ship Collision
Ultimately, the responsibility for safety of the vessel is ALWAYS with the captain of vessel, Pilot…
But also reports that there was a failure (electrical) on the boat, which the pilot may not have been able to control. (Point of information: while in Baltimore Harbor, all ships are run by a Harbor-licensed pilot [not captain] who has years of training and experience to do that job in that Harbor.)
So let's see what the investigation turns up. Pilot error? Possible. Ship owners' equipment/maintenance failure? Possible.
Let's allow the investigation to proceed, instead of all us armchair "experts" (not) speculating wildly.
