That's a miracle no one ended up in a body bag or floating down the river, especially given the average age of the folks on a boat like that.

Indeed. Extremely lucky.


After drying off and seeing paramedics their next stop is Caesar’s.

Would be surprised if the American Heritage got hit with absolutely no warning at all. Typically there's somebody on the bridge at all times. They'd have been monitoring the radio.

If the pilot on the tanker lost control he might have tried to warn whoever they were about to T-bone on the radio assuming they had time. At a minimum you gonna hear 5 short blasts somewhere on the cruise ship, and any trained crew member hearing that shite gonna spring into action trying to identify the threat and sound the a general alarm / collision alarm.

Guess is that the pilot on the tanker would have had some amount of time where he realized that a collision was imminent. Would have been in communication with VTS and they were probably the first to know.

The person drafting the limitation complaint is in one canal place not one shell square.

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

That’s insane. Good work by everyone if they managed to get all of those people out of the river safely

Judging by portvision they were on the scene in a matter of seconds/minutes.

Also, approaching a sinking ship as well as an out of control ship is a good way to add to the calamity.
