I was hoping that if the ship lost power, which seems likely
They could have called police to close the bridge before hitting it.
But perhaps it all happened to quick. As you say, in the longer footage you can see vehicles crossing, although perhaps not so many immediately before the collapse when the orange flashing lights are visible?
Whenever I see something like this, I desperately look for things that might mean it’s not as bad as it looks like it might be 😩
