Hard to tell from this angle but it looked like even with the power loss it would have went through fine, them trying to pull a hard turn after power came back and the 2nd outage leading to it turning too far seems like where things fucked up.
I'd guess prob one of 2 things happened on that end, pilot freaked out and once power was back on turned way too hard or if they were using some autopilot it over-corrected to try and get back on course.
My bet is the (DEI harbor) pilot said 'oh fuck', put the ship in reverse causing the black smoke and failure because massive engines with huge inertia don't like to get slammed in reverse, got it restarted and the reverse thrust made it veer wildly off course.
That or they hit the emergency off button in their panic and Jesus took the wheel. Zero chance it was just mechanical failure.

Seeing reports that the anchor was dropped, but that's what swung it into the bridge.
