Cruise Liner, American Heritage, sinking near GNO

Hearing reports that a tanker lost power near the GNO, t-boned the American Heritage cruiser, and that there are 100s of people in the water being rescued.
Any tow boaters out there to report first hand?

If tweet fails to load, click here. There are a LOT of people on that cruise ship who were not wearing lifejackets in this picture.

I hope Jack finds something to float on this time

Anybody on the boats is responding - don’t know about the people in the water but the report of a cruise vessel sinking is accurate.

There is definitely something going on involving a boat capsizing or something of that nature

I’m seeing on AIS that the American heritage is just upstream of the twin span with a large tanker named Atlantic Asphalt right behind it still partially under the twin span.

Antlantic asphalt is the boat that hit the American heritage. American heritage sunk. There were about 200 on
board not sure how many ended up in the water.
