Tanker collides with riverboat in New Orleans

This is video that shows the collision, and I mentioned the river cruiser, and you're going to see it literally start to sink. This is courtesy of Kern Studios. I'm seeing this for the first time play out live here on Fox Local with you. One of our producers, JJ in the newsroom, was able to get permission to air this, and we've just, in the two minutes we were gone, we got it into the system, and here we are We are watching this live unfold. How this happened, how this tanker river cruiser crash happened still. Unknown. There were reportedly about 130 people on the river cruiser. We want to get that confirmed. We obviously want to know. We were hearing about a rescue operation when we just had that static live shot. It didn't seem to be like it was much of a big deal. That certainly has completely changed, noting what we are dealing with now with this live. Rather, this is not live. This is the moment that that collision happened. As a result, the river cruiser essentially is capsized and starts to sink. So we are working to find out more about this rescue operation. How many people were on board this river cruiser? If you're looking at this video play out, you're seeing people there on the boardwalk or at the port, I should say, right below the bridge. And they have their. Cameras out and they're watching this unfold. It's almost like seeing it happen in slow motion. It is just absolutely horrifying. And now we're seeing this here. I want to confirm with our producer, Seth, that this is a live picture. That's correct, Marla. So yeah, we actually have a couple different angles. If you check out this one, as well as some wreckage in our Router 8. Okay, so now we've seen that it has not fully sunk. It's on its side, turned over on its side. And if you're looking there on the bottom of the You're seeing people standing up. And I'm just trying to wrap my mind around everything that we're taking in live here. Again, this is right near the port of New Orleans, a tanker colliding with a river vessel. And that vessel has.
