Regardless of whether the Dali is diesel, diesel electric, or steam turbine electric powered, the propulsion, rudder, and bow thruster controls from the bridge would be electrical/electronic and subject to failure from the two apparent power outages. Both indicators and control devices for propulsion and steering would malfunction.
Wife took me to Northern Michigan last year. The Mackinac Bridge, much to her chagrin, was the highlight to me. That is an impressive structure! She was also pissed when visiting Las Vegas that my main interest was the Hoover Dam.
