Were they blowing 5 short on the whistle and were the guys on the bridge trained to recognize that signal? Seemed like they maybe could have had time to jump in a car and floor it.
After the first blackout recovery they had 30+ more seconds of power then blacked out again. Sounds like about the amount of main generator time you’d get out of a full skid & fuel header with no electric feed pumps replenishing it. Did maybe someone have something lined up onto a flushing pump as a backup and forgot to restart it? Could be 50 things though, It’s all speculation.
Maybe not the most of a lot of things and a horrifying ‘could have been’ if at rush hour but arguably the best filmed catastrophe of its type of this magnitude in history.
How long till vessel traffic resumes? 3-4 weeks? Will they stabilize the ship and work it while letting limited traffic through or get the ship out of there first?
