That ship likely had EMD's as main engines that are equal to locomotive engines.....think about that.

Ship main engines are most likely made by Wartsila or MAN. They are not using a GM engine. These engines themselves are bigger than a locomotive and multiple stories tall. Pistons are like 3-4 feet in diameter

Another thing, if they maintain thrust, they only have to miss the pylon by half the beam of the ship. If they start swinging the bow, the ship gets over 800 feet wide and it's a way bigger target to miss.

Capt was completely fricked when the lights went out and there's likely no sequence he could have done to miss the impact with the total time they were blackship.
