Worked on a dock on the Mississippi before I went to college. Always found it freaky as hell when the ships came around a curve in the river. They would be trucking straight toward use, then cut hard to make the curve. Many of the ships would pass within a few hundred feet of the dock. Massive, massive beasts.

Because it took a hard right turn after passing under the bridge.

We have a big truck lawyer. Do we have a big ship lawyer?

Is this the exact same area Carnival, Norwegian, and RC embark?
Maybe 1/2 mile away downstream of bridge, same side

How in the frick does a tanker head that direction, against the current, without power? WTF is going on here?
Holy shite this looks like it has potential to be a terrible, terrible, terrible tragedy.

Can't do the infinite liability thing with ships. The operator's damages are typically limited to the value of the ship, or something to that effect. I'm sure the resident maritime lawyers will be here to explain the nuances.
Maritime law is a convoluted thing.

Atlantic Asphalt has a high sanctions compliance risk for loitering in Venezuelan waters for a long time andcargo coming from a sanctioned country.

Unless you have been around it most people have no idea how incredibly powerful that river is.

Pilot baws asleep at the wheel?

Im going to speculate and say that it lost power and was adrift, or lost steering with the rudder slightly to stbd and that's just where it ended up going.
A ship without power always turns itself abeam to the current.

My guess it was going down river and lost power, current took took it into the paddle wheeler.

In videos no sound of any collision alarms? Would have helped alert people

Ok. Now it makes more sense.

If tweet fails to load, click here. There are a LOT of people on that cruise ship who were not wearing lifejackets in this picture.
