It lost steering power, not electrical power. Kinda like all the warning lights in your car turning on at once and the engine shutting down, even though the headlights are still on.

Correctness vs relevance is being debated. Though I'm sure the owner of the ship is relevant.

How else will the Republicans push more subliminal messaging to the uneducated, overhears snippets of a title, masses?

I mean it was literally owned by the Mexican Navy. It's not factually incorrect.

You talk like ships just routinely traverse our land bound political boundaries! /s

If that's what the articles are implying, then it's safe to say you're implying you don't care because they're Mexican.

Uhm. Look at the video? The ship is literally going backwards. They don’t like, DRIVE it into the bridge going the wrong way.
Mechanical/power failure apparently, and the current pulled it.

Gotta say, it doesn't feel right having this called out as a Mexican ship in the title. That's an inconsequential detail. Id rather have seen something like:
"Ship loses engine power, crashes into Brooklyn bridge, killing 2."

Did they try turning around or changing gears?

For a ship that the authorities said had lost power it was rather lighted up like a christmas tree...
