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


Tanker would have bounced off a real cruise ship These river cruises are a different kind of boat

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.

Hopefully they weren't boarded yet.

It was boarded and full.

Creole Queen is assisting in pulling bodies, it’s about to hit national news.

The river is fast right now and they’re circling up and down to the bend searching.

I’m afraid the casualty count on this one will be massive. Old people on a rapidly listing and sinking ship in the Mississippi River is worst case scenario. frick.

frick.

Nightmare fuel there. Luckily that area is always busy with pilot boats and crew boats, hopefully some lives were saved. Nothing we can do but pray.

Isn’t it extremely deep in the bend as well?

The info was obviously about the ship that sank, which very obviously can go all up and down the river. Take your confusion elsewhere.

Wdsu said all but 12 accounted for.

I'm just saying that is the report.

Hopefully after the collision it stayed upright long enough for most people to get off. The video I saw, it was already on its side and sinking rapidly.

The crash occurred around 12:30 pm on the river near the Crescent City Connection.

The American Heritage had docked approximately two hours earlier to begin passenger disembarkation.
