So cars these days have anti-collision systems. One would think a million dollar boat, with millions of dollars in cargo, approaching a multimillion dollar bridge would have some sort of active sensing system to prevent a collision. That video shows the Dali strolling right into the support. It wasn't a glancing blow, rather it was a direct hit. Either somebody f'd up big time, or major act of sabotage on US territory.

Apparently, the Dali lost all power. Anti collision kind of needs power to work, so having it would not matter regardless

As an electrical engineer I will say there are giant thick sections of code for backup power regarding life safety systems. Generally a backup generator will keep running even if on fire and breaking just to keep power on... backup batteries on even more sensitive equipment provides even more redundancy. Power failure leading to a disaster is a engineering failure.

Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yep. "Business" doesn't see profit in redundant systems.
