An Atlantic Asphalt tanker crashed into the docked American Heritage cruise ship in New Orleans on Friday, with 180 people aboard. After the collision, the vessel took on water, listed and capsized, sending passengers and crew into the Mississippi River. Everyone aboard was accounted for, and 32 people were hospitalized without sustaining critical injuries. Rescuers evacuated dozens of people and two police officers to nearby vessels in water temperatures of 19 degrees Celsius. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, which appears to have involved a loss of steering by the tanker, while a catastrophic system failure aboard the cruise ship is also suspected.
