If look at Queen Mary they had a backup at the rudder. A lot guys working the big steering wheel.
Even a backup generator

That was my question as regards to what modern standards are as regards emergency manual controls and emergency backup equipment.
It takes a while to change course, stop or reverse course. Are you aware of when the failure occurred or what the course and speed of the ship were? No, me neither.
Let the investigators do their jobs. The answers will come.
Has your son been in touch with her?So the workers were all on their break in the trucks when the bridge collapsed . All were working for the same company , which my son's GF also works for .
Not familiar with civilian ship construction & control requirements, but warships have redundant systems that run along different sides of the ship and backup power generators. That said, there can be a momentary delay in transferring control/power to the backup. It’s my opinion that the black smoke seen in the video was from a backup diesel generator starting up.Correct me if I am wrong here, but my understanding was that any ship over a certain weight/size had to have mandatory MANUAL primary (rudder) control ability in cases of power loss as well as backup power to any/all secondary manouvering control systems (thrusters) should the use of such systems be required?
