In one video I saw, it appeared that the ship went black just before it struck the bridge... maybe it lost power? Also, maybe it's just my old eyes, but it appeared to me that there was no way that ship would clear the bridge anyway, because of the ship's height.
That's going to be an awful situation to straighten out. There are the people who have been dropped into the water, the people who have to get from one side to the other, reconstructing the bridge, and dealing with the legalities of the crash. The NTSB will be busy investigating. Just be thankful that the bridge didn't collapse because of lack of maintenance. Still, faults in design will probably be revealed.
