Suggesting the pilot was a variation of something other than a straight, white, experienced, Christian male (from birth) due to DEI policies.
Not knowing what it takes to be a certified harbor pilot, of course.
If a ship that size lost power right at that point in the harbor, it doesn't matter what the pilot was, or even if there's a couple tugs alongside. That ship is going to keep going whichever way velocity, inertia, and current will take it. All you can do is perhaps slow it down some.
