New Orleans, Louisiana: A tanker slammed into a docked paddlewheel riverboat on the Mississippi River on Friday, Nov 13, and the riverboat rolled onto its side. The Port of New Orleans says the 500-foot tanker Atlantic Asphalt struck the American Heritage, operated by American Cruise Lines, at about 12:30 p.m. local time while passengers were disembarking. Mayor Helena Moreno says about 180 to 190 passengers and crew were aboard (129 passengers, per the port). Harbor Police say about 87 people got off before it capsized; the rest went into the water and were pulled out by first responders and passing boats. Everyone has been accounted for. 32 people were hospitalized, including two Harbor Police officers, none critically. The Coast Guard says the tanker appears to have had “some type of a loss of steering,” but the cause is under investigation and the NTSB is sending a team. The river is closed between mile markers 93 and 96. This bystander video shows the riverboat listing and going over after the collision.
