Is that where passengers embark? Hopefully, they weren’t all on yet.

Hope not everyone was on board. That’s horrible.

I would assume so. But that is just an assumption

I hate to make assumptions, but this seems like something a lot of older people go on.

Fit Middle aged men would have a hard time in the river, much less elderly people. Hope they had time tk get life jackets.

Water is somewhat low and there is a bit of a beach right there.

River is 70° right now

They are all duck hunting and their nephews apprentices have the watch.

This same boat collided with a tug boat in June

quote:

The American Heritage riverboat (operated by American Cruise Lines) was involved in a collision with a towboat on the Ohio River around 4:00 AM on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, between Paducah, Kentucky, and Evansville, Indiana.
Key details of the incident include:
• The Collision: The riverboat collided with a towboat on the river.
• Evacuation & Reassignment: The accident led to passenger evacuations, the reassignment of crew members, and the vessel being scheduled for dry dock repairs.
• Cancellations: Subsequent cruise stops and sailings—such as a scheduled docking in Belpre around July 13, 2026—were canceled or affected by the incident.
• Public Coverage: The event was discussed and tracked by passengers and community groups online, though extensive mainstream media coverage remained limited.

Wrong boat. This tanker can't go above Baton Rouge.

Near the exact same spot where the Bright Field collided with the riverwalk mall.

Hopefully they had some sort of advance warning. This is terrifying.

I didn’t need another reason to avoid cruise ships.

Your info says it was in a collision in KY. Ships can't go past Baton Rouge.

The American Heritage is a tugboat. The American Heritag is the cruise liner that was hit.
