00:00Live to New Orleans tonight, where all 129 people incredibly aboard and docked a riverboat are safe and accounted for.
00:08This, of course, after that tanker apparently lost its steering, slamming, hitting right into that boat, effectively sinking it.
00:15Brand new video just in here at the Live Desk showing us that moment the much larger Atlantic asphalt tanker
00:21hit and crashed into the cruise boat.
00:24Tugboat operators nearby, workers, police officers, and other good Samaritans wasted no time rushing to that scene to help as
00:32those passengers frantically jumped ship.
00:36At this moment, the information that we have, we have zero people unaccounted for, which truly is a miracle on
00:46the Mississippi.
00:47And that is a credit to all of the first responders, local, state, federal, who literally jumped right in to
00:56help.
00:57Yeah, there, the mayor adding here about 30 people did have to go to the hospital, but again, incredibly, none
01:03of them suffering any serious injuries.
01:06Officials adding here, it's too early right now to really pinpoint a specific cause of that crash.
01:11But experts reviewing what happened here now speculating that the tanker had some kind of catastrophic systems failure.
01:18The Coast Guard has now closed off that section of the river off of Louisiana to all vessels as the
01:24investigation continues.
