This is crazy.
The craziest part is how exactly did that ship hit even the bridge? One would think there would be precautionary measures in place to prevent that kind of thing. Evidently not, or they were sleeping, drunk, loaded in someway.

wow they really didnt get very far from port. Can perhaps see in the track where they lost power and start to drift south.

technically f=ma, but the math still checks out with it being a huge mass moving and needing to transfer a very large amount of energy into the structure to stop its forward motion.

I understand that it was going quite fast. Which stacks up, a ship of that size and mass needs a shit load of speed to get any steerage at all (you need a large amount of water going past the rudder(s) ). The container ships and car transporters that come up The Solent can be on you in a horrifyingly short space of time....
