Tanker crashes into cruise ship on Mississippi river | ABC NEWS
More than 100 people have been rescued after a tanker collided with a river cruise boat docked near the port of New Orleans, leaving the pleasure vessel partially submerged.
All aboard survived after the crash prompted a massive rescue operation for passengers and crew who plunged into the Mississippi River as the ship took on water and began to topple over.
Martin Davies, a maritime law expert at Tulane University, told AP it was too early to tell what might have caused the crash, but videos indicated some kind of catastrophic system failure on the tanker and “super bad luck” that it struck the boat as passengers were departing.
