At full speed.... There is a huge difference between 5 and 24 knots.
A ship is supposed to be able to brake within 15 times their full length at full speed.
My original concern was with the fact that they hit the bridge head on without power. Meaning they were already close to the bridge when they lost power and presumably steering towards the pile when they lost power.
I could see them losing power and drifting into the support, but couldn't really make sense of the head on collision. If they had been close enough to ram with just momentum, one would presume steering before they lost power would have already been be oriented.
Like I said, watching the video cleared things up, the operator threw it in full reverse, which forced the bow starboard.
