If the electrical fault described by passengers caused the stabilisers and/or rudder to do something uncommanded, maybe the ship swung into the first rock, and its momentum (114500 Tons x unknown velocity) caused it to carry on to the position in which we see it now.
We don't yet know if the piece of rock seen sticking through the hull is still attached to the seabed. It may have been broken off and dragged with the vessel.
If stabilisers act as ailerons, and stayed stuck in one position, they could presumably turn the ship, even if only by acting as a waterbrake on one side?
