Tourists had to escape by swimming from a sinking ship hit by a tanker.
The cruise ship docked on the Mississippi River in New Orleans (USA). After the tanker drove into it, it tilted and partially sank. There were no dead or missing - people managed to put on life jackets, some had to swim to escape the sinking ship. At least 32 people were hospitalized, and a total of 130 people were evacuated from the passenger ship.
According to the initial version, the cause of the emergency was a malfunction in the tanker's steering system.
Not Cameron's Titanic, but impressive.
