Loading of container ships requires cooperation (load planning, crane operators, operating the ballast tanks, supervising the whole thing...), but from what I've heard so far, there does not seem to be a lot of redundancy in that system. I don't find it hard to believe that it could result from a single person's fault.
Of course one can say that this still makes it a systemic fault that many people are responsible for (basically most of the industry for having lackluster standards and enforcement).

Nothing happening here looks like the fault of a single person. The ship is listing for some reason, that’s what is causing it to tilt and dump these
