All 180 passengers and crew are safe and accounted for after a freighter crashed into a cruise boat at a New Orleans dock along the Mississippi River Friday.
The Atlantic Asphalt tanker struck the American Heritage paddlewheel boat while it was docked, causing it to slowly roll over onto its side as people aboard attempted to get onto the dock.
Though some ended up in the water — and were quickly rescued by nearby boats and emergency crews — 32 people were hospitalized.
With no critical injuries reported, New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno and Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry described the outcome as a “miracle on the Mississippi.”
