This is video of the tanker before something happened just below the camera causing it to turn 90 degrees and hit the American Heritage cruise ferry. This is running at 20x speed. You can see the tanker then some time after, multiple boats rushing to the scene.

I'm sure it give you great comfort to know this man (the one hiding in the white shirt) is the current head of the Department of Homeland SECURITY.
You feel secure with him...right?

Authorities in New Orleans, Louisiana are responding to a mass casualty incident after two vessels collided on the Mississippi River near the downtown area. An asphalt tanker, the Atlantic Asphalt, collided with the docked American Cruise Lines riverboat American Heritage on the Mississippi River at the Port of New Orleans around 1:30 p.m. ET, according to Port NOLA. About 129 passengers plus crew were aboard.
The mayor’s office says multiple people have been rescued and search and rescue operations are ongoing. WDSU reports at least 12 people were in the water, an early and unconfirmed figure.

My favorite two parts of the background of Gordon Lightfoot writing “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”:
1) Lightfoot read a news story on the wreck and they spelled the name of the ship wrong. Offended by this, he wrote the song to honor them properly.
2) The final verse contains the line “the church bell chimed til it rang 29 times for each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” This happens to this day on the anniversary at the Great Lakes Maritime Academy. When Lightfoot passed away in 2023, they rang the bell 30 times—29 for the sailors lost and once for Lightfoot who immortalized them.

The Cybertruck and MAGA had a lot in common.
Overpromised. Overhyped. And apparently not built to survive November 2026.

“Walt Z out of Michigan sends a heartfelt thankyou, and is absolutely blown away by how much people have cared over this,” the GoFundMe organizer said.
“They are requesting privacy, and GoFundMe is taking the lead in transferring all of this to him. You're all Rockstars, and it shows.”
Glad to see this man is being taken care of. GoFundMe link is below.
