Depending on where you are, you could probably click the VHF in your boat to 16 and catch a lot of it.

I would, but I aint pulling the boat out just for that.

WWL article said cruise ship had docked 2 hrs before the impact to disembark passengers. Hopefully most were already off the ship and we are just looking at crew left on board…..

If they were disembarking then this may end up being a miracle. Earlier reports were that it was full.

Wdsu said all but 12 accounted for.


That’s incredible given that most of those riverboat cruises are filled with mostly 70+ retirees.

WWL is live now. The boat is fully on its side. A tugboat has it pinned against the sea wall to keep it from going fully down it appears.

Devils advocate: “accounted for” means a few different things. Just want to temper expectations a bit. Amazing if they all truly alive and well

That water is 68 degrees.


That’s not too bad. Cold but not hypothermia cold especially with adrenaline trying to swim to safety

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


A little downstream at Algiers Point is the deepest. Here it is at the CCC:

So an allision, not a collision.

Sure hope those 12 people are found ok.

There may be several things in favor

It’s a small boat so quick to get off

Hopefully horns / alarm sounded

May have been people who were not yet embarked

Empoweryounola on Instagram has a video posted that shows people on the balcony climbing off as it’s going sideways

It's only around 20 feet deep at that passenger dock. The boat isn't sinking any deeper than it currently has.

Fox8 was showing that same video. It's sinking and there are people trying to climb so they don't go in the water. Holy shite.

Eh, it's basically on the shallow ledge of a pretty steep drop off for the shipping lanes.
