People in the water are at risk, but anybody stuck on below deck spaces, especially on the side facing down is in a really dangerous situation. Galley and engineering spaces probably had to swim out or get stuck below. Damn!

Thanks for filming me nearly lose my life to this shite, but do you mind putting your phone down and helping me?

But it wasn't Algiers Point (which was my and my husband's first guess) as we had lived there and heard more than a couple five horns followed by crushing barges.
This was up river just upstream from the GNO bridges. HTH did they not have tugs controlling the lost-power ship?

That foreign flagged tanker would not have been here if the US didn’t waive the Jones Act because of the Iran war.
Not so. If reporting is correct,

the tanker was empty and was traveling upriver to load cargo in Garyville at the time of the crash before departing for Singapore.

Jones Act restrictions would not apply to an international voyage. And an empty vessel headed for pickup enroute to Asia would not be coastwise trade.

Its amazing that nobody got trapped below decks.
I know. Egress for those on the port side went vertical quickly.

That mayor of New Orleans has a legit five head.
Didn’t remember her having that.

Thank you Jesus.
We took a riverboat cruise with our kids .. one was “stroller age” as an infant and the others were 3 and 8. I was sort of a nervous wreck with the fear that this could happen. Not likely but still an irrational mom fear.

Agreed. Jones Act ain't go nothing to do with the situation here with respect to the tanker.
Jones Act comes into play for crew of the US flagged American Heritage with respect to any PI claims they may have against their employer.

Yep. But hard to see how the moored vessel could be at fault.
I guess they could argue inadequate emergency procedures or equipment. But everyone got out, and mostly unharmed.

thought reports earlier said he mentioned that everyone made it off ok? Did I misread that?
I don't know why somebody would say that because there's no way everybody on that side of the boat made it off. That tanker rammed somebody right in the face too it's not like it was a bump from behind. There's absolutely casualties

Can if it's in New Orleans.
Burden is very low. Also covers negligence of officers or other crew members. Also on the theory of unseaworthiness of the vessel itself.
People in NOLA the best in the world when it comes to these types of cases. If it can be done, they'll do it. And they probably will in this case.

The cruise ship was moored and passengers were already in the process of disembarking from the upper deck.

Fine print in the contract likely says they are entitled to go swimming on the boat which this contract would have fulfilled.

If true they all got off and only non-critical injuries that's a miracle.

In an allision, there is a presumption of fault on the moving vessel. The fault will be entirely on the moving vessel, which is also unseaworthy.
