I assume they had a decent amount of time to get in better position on other side of the boat? Would the tanker have life saving tools at their disposal also and maybe immediately deployed them after contact for the cruise line passengers?

I saw in one of the videos that people on the tanker were throwing life preservers overboard at them.

What would cause the ship to make a hard turn like that? Assuming dropping anchors and one catches turning the ship?

Passing under the bridge without power! I hate to say it, but this is the less bad outcome.

More people are on that sunken ship than were on the bridge at the time I bet.


Hmm, don't know about that. The bridge probably has 1,500 - 2,000 vehicles crossing per hour. If you average 2 people a car, that's a lot of folks.

Nungesser just said on WWL that he got a text saying everyone is accounted for.


Fox 8 is saying they have no idea how many people were on board, no information on injuries or death, and there is no full accounting of who was rescued or not yet. So Nungesser's text information seems very premature based on Fox 8's last info from a few seconds ago with John Snell.

Stbd anchor dragging harder than the port possibly. Theres also a lot of eddys and weird current there, and that boat has a lot of air draught, so basically no frickin clue. Lots of ways for it to happen though. Anybody who's docked a boat in a stiff wind and current would understand it though. Basically just a lot of bad shite happening all at once. Multiply it by 1,000 feet or however long that tub is and you get boat wrecks.

I guess there is a lot of confusion due to passengers getting off the ship on dock as it happened.

As of 4:00 Eastern time Fox National and CNN hadn't picked this up.

I suppose the media is waiting for confirmation that minorities were affected before they run it nationwide, before it becomes real important news.
