New Orleans lawsuit aims for control of tanker that crashed into cruise ship - WSB-TV Channel 2

The Port of New Orleans sued the owner of the tanker Atlantic Asphalt on Saturday, seeking control of the vessel so federal investigators can seize it after it struck a docked river cruise ship on the Mississippi River. The tanker lost steering on Friday. All 197 passengers and crew aboard the American Heritage survived, but 32 people were taken to hospital, including two police officers thrown into the river. Eight remained hospitalized Saturday.
