Hah, that video also confirms something the Maersk Denver have claimed... that the Ever Given queue jumped to rush into the canal.
Not that I think this really is the problem... I do believe it was wind. Rudders only work on ships when they're moving at reasonable speed against the water, the only steering on a large ship are the rudders, and they're tiny... and the height of these things, unless they are tugged on the canal then wind can and will move them, and ships don't come to a stop easily.
