A tanker collided with a docked cruise ship carrying around 129 passengers on the Mississippi River near New Orleans on Friday. The Atlantic Asphalt tanker was traveling upriver when it struck the tour boat near a cruise dock. Footage from the scene showed the cruise ship tilting almost horizontally in the water as a massive rescue operation unfolded. Some passengers were seen in the river wearing life jackets and using life rings, while others clung to the vessel’s railings. The cruise ship had docked around two hours earlier to allow passengers to disembark. More than a dozen people were hospitalized following the collision, according to local reports.
