2 - If the ship was moving directly to the camera it would appear to be stopped.

After 9/11 would you say " the buildings collapsed because planes hit them. Problem solved. Move along."
Would you blame the towers for not being structurally sound ?
9/11 was a much different event then this. You asked where the info was and Im asking what info do you want tht hasnt been released.
No one blamed the bridge for collapsing but if you are going to ignore the fact that structural soundness plays into it then good on you

I guess what I thought was the engines turning on full blast is maybe water splashing up when ithe bridge gets hit?

I'm not sure it's possible to make a bridge that can take a hit like that. Maybe they could have had bumper type barriers around the base but in the end the bridge was hit by a boat. That's what caused it to fall.
Truth is bridges are an Army Corps of Engineers responsibility but they are so unprepared they gave the job to Navy Salvage to lead. Navy salvage is so broken they had to outsource it to the US subsidiary/partner of a European firm which is chartering equipment from private companies at great expense. Equipment that's weak & small compared to what the European parent has overseas.
BREAKING: A NY tugboat captain has reported to @gCaptain “container ship APL QINGDAO lost power while transiting New York harbor. They had 3 escort tugs but 3 more were needed to bring her under control. They regained power & were brought to anchor near the verrazano bridge”

Looks like the FBI is opening an investigation.
www.washingtonpost.com...
Why now? Why didn't they open one day one?
Is their something criminal here?
Why are so many in this thread saying "we know what happened. The ship lost power and crashed. Nothing to see here."
The FBI has opened a criminal investigation focusing on the massive container ship that brought down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month — a probe that will look at least in part at whether the crew left the port knowing the vessel had serious systems problems, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Wouldn't you want to start an investigation like that day one? Why piddle around for a few weeks?
It's like they want any possible trails to grow cold. 👽
