The first being: Did not a single person with authority on the ship think it was important to calculate height clearance?

I don’t know a thing about ships or bridges, but it is a question I would want the answer to.

Edit: Now it is reported that the ship lost power. Also two crew members have died. This has now become a tragic story.
