Well known cyber security expert Andrew Tate. He can tell because the lights went off.

Nah, that wasn't cyber. At around 0:15 you can see thick black smoke coming from the ship.

Edit: Some more details I've read: the ship was steered by local pilots and they had allegedly notified authorities that they'd lost steering after leaving the harbor.

Yeah something went wrong and the first blackout might've been an accident, power returns and the smoke comes out. They might've then turned off power manually more worried and panicking about a fire that they ignored the actual piloting of the ship that when they turned the power on a third time it was too late.

Smoke from the emergency diesel gens firing off.
Could take a while for them to come up to load.

Electrical fire?

yep, it looks like an electrical failure of some sort. I highly doubt the ship was remotely hijacked, but a cyber attack to disable the ship is not completely out of the realm of possibility.

my guess is a fuse blew at the worst possible moment.

Could still be sabotage. Not the pilot's fault at all, but someone, probably with maintenance clearance, who got in there and threw a monkeywrench in the works, possibly after making sure things were lined up more or less right.

It's plausible that this was an attack. We are living in the Battle Network timeline after all. But the simpler explanation is that it was just incompetence. Considering the boat horror stories out there, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that the captain made a bad call, flipped the wrong switch, etc.

Possibly the engines starting back up again, but as the lights go on/off multiple times its probably some form of catastrophic mechanical failure onboard.

...Can these ships even be remotely piloted? Thats the fastest way to find out if its a cyberattack or not.

That's a civilian container ship, and only the Navy could be incompetent enough to build a hackable ship.

"But it takes FIVE MILES to turn a ship around!" - CNN or one of those dumbfuck channels

Dude, they only had to veer off enough to miss the pillar. Instead, it ran right smack dab into it. Funny about that aim. I'm sure it doesn't take FIVE MILES to steer a bit to the starboard.

Dude, they were going directly towards the piller before the power failed.

Look at the size of the gap between the pillars, no one in their right mind would aim so close to one and then hope to steer away in the last 20 seconds.

Whatever went wrong started well before this footage.

I'm not ruling out sabotage considering current year.

But it looks more like power failure followed by the backup gens coming up, then another failure maybe the breakers tripped?

What I don't understand is it looks like they applied a LOT of bow thrust to starboard. Overcorrection, panic, incompetence or intentional?

Probably a mix of the first three. If I was doing it intentionally, I'd probably hit it during a busier time of day. You could cause more destruction and chaos while still hitting it at night at either 9 PM or 6 AM.

There isn’t a manual way to drop anchors?

They did drop anchor, but these cargo ships are so massive that it would take a significant amount of time to slow down.

I don't understand what are you trying to say with this post?
Are you just making fun of Tate or what are you trying to say?

Video shows Shanequa clearly hits the light switch a few times instead of turning the ship

Tates tweet aside, it's actually a low IQ comment. I'm not a ship engineer, but a software engineer with experience in black hat hacking.
There are many explanations why the lights could go on and off multiple times. And it begins by the simplest thing, if your system is under attack, your first response is to try to reboot the system to regain the control. Ideally you try to go offline so the attacker can't control your system from outside.
I've no idea what is Andrew's source for his comment and I'm not defending him, but I highly doubt that they have simply played with lights, even if it was an inside job.
