I have heard that everyone has been accounted for but they did not say whether or not that meant everyone was alive

I would assume, that if everyone is accounted for, that means no one is actually trapped within the heritage itself

again, assuming that bit of info above is actually true

Looks like there are a lot of people still on the boat as it sunk:

Nungesser started that rumor has already been backtracking his statements attributing it to what some workers on the pier told him via text.

Does it need to go completely underwater to be considered "sunk"?

I'd call that capsized.

Anybody else remember the foreign piloted ship that knocked a bridge down?

Who was at the helm of this ship?

If that tugboat backed off, it would probably sink

Gonna be a dog fight down there the next few days on this investigation. Will be huge pressure to come up with evidence that can be used to bust the limitation.

NOLA the Talledega 500 of locations for something like this to play out. Plaintiffs lawyers aiming to bust the limitation already got the upper-hand here simply by being in NOLA.

Best case scenario for the owner would be some latent mechanical failure that was unforeseeable. Maybe contaminated fuel or something of that nature.

The water temperature of the Mississippi River in New Orleans is 66°F (19°C), as recorded by the nearby Carrollton gauge.
• Location: Mississippi River at New Orleans (Carrollton station)
• Current Water Temperature: 66°F
• Safety Note: At 66°F, prolonged immersion or exposure in the water carries a risk of hypothermia.

Why do these press conferences require an entourage? Unless you need to speak go do something

Value of the tanker at the end of the voyage + pending freight probably $20 - $25 million. That's best case scenario for the owner.

You probably got dock damage there to some extent.
You got the damage to the cruise ship.
And you probably got a bunch of PI plaintiffs lined up.

They all gonna be vying for a piece of that pie if the limitation holds (which it probably won't based on no evidence so far).

I think you’re misinformed on what exactly the Jones Act is.

Foreign flagged vessels are at every port in this country.

The Jones Act prohibits those foreign flagged ships from moving from US port to US port.
