A tanker struck the docked American Heritage paddleboat in New Orleans on 13 November 2026, and all 129 passengers and crew survived as the boat listed, flipped, and dumped people into the Mississippi River, where rescuers pulled dozens from the 66-degree water. Mayor Helena Moreno called the lack of unaccounted-for people a miracle; officials said the tanker apparently lost steering, and the NTSB planned to investigate.
