I'm surprised the ship stopped at the pillar and didn't just keep going. This tells me that bollards would could stop a ship.

It was reported that they had time to drop anchors. They dragged them as well, they were not found to be in the vertical position. Hard to know the sequences that led to the collision at this point.
Also reported that the ship radioed "mayday" and the bridge operators were able to close the toll gates somehow. Maybe none of this is true.
