BREAKING: A tanker has slammed into a docked river cruise ship on the Mississippi River in New Orleans, with about 129 passengers aboard.
Port NOLA says the tanker Atlantic Asphalt struck American Cruise Lines' American Heritage at about 12:30 p.m. local time, while passengers were getting ready to disembark.
The Coast Guard, New Orleans Fire Department, NOPD and Port Harbor Police are conducting rescues, WDSU and NOLA.com report. Passengers are being brought into the port's administration building for triage.
The number of injuries and the cause haven't been confirmed yet.
Praying for every passenger, crew member and first responder out there right now.

Twenty years ago, federal prosecutors could have put Jeffrey Epstein away for life. Instead, they played politics. Let's not repeat history. jkbjournalist.substack.com/p…

I did not do the Jeffrey Epstein investigation alone. I had the support of @MiamiHerald —it’s then executive editor, Mindy Marques; and these two incredible journalists, investigations editor Casey Frank and visual journalist Emily Michot. Thank you to all the courageous victims who shared their stories with me, and to those on the Pulitzer Board who made this honor of a lifetime happen. #pulitzerprizes

The Florida Senate threatened journalists at the @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel with possible arrest if they published a report - that taxpayers funded - that showed insurance companies made misleading claims about losing money.
We published anyway.🧵

34 years ago, I took this photo as Miami Metrozoo prepared for the arrival of Hurricane Andrew. Little did I know that it would become an iconic image of one of the greatest natural disasters in U.S. history. #hurricaneflamingos #hurricaneandrew #nikonusa #nikonambassador

34 YEARS AGO TODAY, Hurricane Andrew was bearing down on the Bahamas and South Florida. It was a beautiful summer day in Miami with a nice breeze. Everybody was in motion... wondering what was going to happen that night. I said on TV, "...nothing will look the same" in the morning. More at HurricaneIntel.com
