I don't know anything about Baltimore Harbor; but yes; currents really can be that strong. A big cargo ship like that isn't very maneuverable. Most of the shipboard systems and controls are electric. If the lights go out, they have big, big trouble.

I understand the tide was going out at the time of the accident. Tide/currents/wind plays a big role against big ships -
so here's my deal. even though i asked the question earlier, i really want to believe this was an accident. my problem is that the more i watch the video, the more it looks like it was gonna miss the pylon right up till it hooked a hard right turn. so......are the currents really that strong that they coulda done that? or is it an optical illusion due to the camera angle?
