Miracle on the Mississippi: everyone safe after tanker hits and sinks New Orleans cruise

Reported · Written up by our desk · North America

At least 180 passengers and crew members were rescued Friday after a tanker lost control, hit and sank a paddleboat on the Mississippi River, the mayor of New Orleans said. Video from the scene showed the much larger Atlantic Asphalt tanker hit the cruise boat while it was docked as metal and glass crashed and crunched. Tugboat operators, nearby workers, police and several other rescuers rushed to help. New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno called it “a miracle on the Mississippi”.
