Well we have the audio track from the bridge, the course, position, speed, probably rudder angle and that the anchor (at least on the port side) was deployed. We know there was a power failure, but it seems to me, the big question is what caused the electrical failure.

If I understand correctly, large cargo vessels have electro-hydraulic steering where electrical controls regulate hydraulic pressure on the rudder. From my understanding, there are one or two main diesel engines that drive the props and several diesel generators (typically 3) that provide electricity as well as a backup electric generator. What puzzles me is how all these electrical generators or associated switchgear failed, causing the crew to lose control of the rudder and the main engines so that could neither steer or reverse the engines. We’re “lucky” there was no fire and the vessel isn’t flooded, so hopefully the cause will eventually be found.

A powerless, 100's of tons, floating piece of real estate a little larger than three American football fields pushed along by the water current......no propulsion, no steering, no braking through any type of reverse thrust, no parking brake like a land-based vehicle, no rolling friction like a land based vehicle, just a massive, commercial cork bobbing along in the unrelenting flow of the water current like the unforgiving movement of a landslide crushing anything in its path, like a massive ice floe unforgivingly pushed down a river during an ice breakup, anchors that may slightly slow the massive cork.....

.......suggestions?.....should the crew run down and drag their heels on the water for brakes, like a scooter or skateboard rider may do on pavement?

Those crew members more than had their hands full of a great big handful of nothing when it came to options to exert control over that conveyor of a river carrying them in its massive, massive grasp, and an equally great big handful of nothing in options to exert control over that dead in the water mass of around 3½ acres+ in footprint size.

They did well in an extremely tiny window of time, to communicate to authorities who had to navigate the canyons of different emergency agencies on different radio frequencies clearly enough to get land-based responses in action to get the area as clear of human lives as possible.

They were like dust in the wind when it came to directing anything about the water flow and the crippled small town of merchandise they were riding.

As aforementioned, I could be wrong and good investigations hopefully finds the fault and gets mitigated.

There is the human factor that can not be put aside. Sometimes, the routine makes one complacent, pushing things to their limit because nothing bad happened. He might have done that speed many times, unsafely and the dice roll just caught up with him. Who knows?
Maybe he was under pressure to get to the shore as fast as possible or just getting a bad case of "gethometitis" that he disregard some safety buffers. Again who knows?

One thing I know, A true professional equipment operator always take many things in consideration, topmost of which is safety. There is always a preparation or adjustments to the prevailing condition. A highway may be marked 100mph, but would you drive that fast in icy road conditions? Did the Pilot knew the ship is being operated without any safety backups for its system? If he knew, would he still run it at the allowed speed limit or would he creep that hulk into the harbor so that an anchor drop could stop it on time?

Again as mentioned, only a good investigation will resolve the whole thing. For now, we just ask and discuss in retrospect.

Makes one think. Who in his right mind would make a multi million dollar boat that can't be steered once the power is out, and make the steering worked only by one engine? That would be gross negligence on the designer, or gross negligence on the operator/owner of the ship, if they allowed it to travel with only one its system working.

As for the captain to overrule the pilot who was managing the emergency, well, the pilot was there for a reason. He was the captain at that moment. There is much to dig on that event that I'd not call it an accident, just yet.
