Imagine if that tanker hit the bridge.

Theres no way anyone can say for certain who was on-board, who was saved, etc while still in rescue ops.
In theory there's a logbook but its probably halfway to Venice by now.
Thats why the claim of all accounted for is all but impossible to believe.

Last inspected by port state control in NOLA last August.

More like frantic efforts of fat people to save their own asses

Now the FAA issued a national ground stop for all air traffic due to "extraordinary circumstances".

Within the marine industry there's a huge push towards hardening control systems on vessels against cyber attacks and there is going to be an event one day due to somebody virtually hijacking a ship. Today is probably not the day though. That old chineese floating dump truck isnt integrated enough to be vulnerable.

I don’t think that’s related to this.

Small Ship Cruising DONE RIGHT

I'd like to think it's not.

Upstream. She's laid over on Port side and likely on bottom. Theres a pushboat holding her against the bank.

Boat looks like it had been on a regular run from US to Canada the past few years but had been in Chile mid-September of this year.
Entered with Gard P&I which is the largest in the world. So they got that going for 'em, which is nice.
Don't see anything out of the ordinary at first glance. Changed owner and manager in '21. Seems pretty typical of what you'd expect to see on this type of vessel.

Algiers point claims another.
One of the worst spots imaginable to lose power, steering or have any kind of problem.
The current is booking around the point.
Ummmmmm, maybe strength, but not speed.

Key Details at Algiers Point
• Current Speed: Normal flow averages about 3 mph, though it can range from roughly 0.6 mph during low-water stages up to 6.0 mph during high-water stages

Almost certainly not. That rusty arse tub doesn't have enough integration on it to be vulnerable. The main engine is likely an old low speed mechanical with little to no networking. Rudder is probably all mechanical.
Odds are high that it was caused by crew incompetence.

Just coming in from outside and seeing this...
I hope the passengers had some early warning since most of them are likely elderly...

• Average Age: Most reviews and reports place the average guest age right around 65 to 75+, with a significant portion of travelers in their 80s.
• Mobility: Walkers, canes, and wheelchairs are very common among the passenger base, and the ships are equipped with elevators to accommodate them
