I know there’s a already a thread about the collision of the river cruise ship American Heritage & the Atlantic Asphalt but the miracle part of it, evacuating 129 souls from a quickly sinking ship capable of carrying 150 passengers deserves it’s own thread. Kudos to the leadership & crew of this vessel. Likewise to all the shore support who helped. How did they do it? I can’t go to an airport or mall without seeing a person not almost getting killed stepping off an escalator & these heroes saved all hands on board from a flipping ship? Amazing. Miracle isn’t too strong of a word. The American Heritage crew has made all American mariners proud & look good to the world. Thank you American Heritage Crew & New Orleans First Responders!
Yeah, you rite! When I first saw a video of this I felt sick reading the passenger and crew count.
I agree. And I hope a significant part of the official reports cover everything the crew did right, as well as everything the other ship did wrong. It will be interesting to learn if the STCW crowd management course proved useful to the officers here. Congratulations to them again.
