Cargo ship crashes into riverboat in New Orleans

Update on the New Orleans cruise ship collision that we've been following. Authorities say everybody on board has been accounted for. Fox 4's Sean Rapp joins us with the latest. Sean. Yeah, I have to tell you, we held our breath at the first images of the American Heritage Riverboat cruise ship after it had been struck by that larger Atlantic asphalt tanker. It looked bad, but ended well. No loss of life, 32 folks in hospitals, yes, but none critical. And as you said, even all aboard accounted for. The vessel had been docked for two hours at the end of an eight-day trip up and down the mighty Mississippi River when it was hit by the larger, heavier Atlantic Asphalt Tanker, carrying asphalt and another semi-solid substance used in roofing and road construction. Thank you very much. 129 passengers and crew members were on the ship. ...images showed that ship sinking and eventually... On its side, witness Devin Flanagan, who recorded the waterway tragedy, said it was just chaos, adding, you had all types of ships, barges, and other companies down there trying to help out. And while other vessels were down there, as Providence would have it, law enforcement already had a drone in the air, part of an active crime investigation. And when calls about the ship started, those eyes in the sky helped spot people in distress in the Mississippi. Let's listen now to Louisiana's governor. This is a miracle, it is a literal miracle on the Mississippi. When you think about the population that was on that cruise ship and the ability for us to get them off, get them out of the water. Just in case you know, the Mississippi River is not some quiet pond, right? I mean, there were challenges out there. We had first responders that put their lives ahead of the people that were in the water and we should thank them. As he referenced the population on that cruise ship, many of the folks today were elderly and so agility issues and yet no loss of life. The river cruise ship was built in 2015. It's five stories tall, can hold up to 150 persons. What looked like a tragedy with a human toll has tonight the best possible ending. Everyone accounted for, again, 32 hospitalized, but thankfully tonight, no loss of life.
