More than 30 people were hospitalized but no deaths were reported after a freighter collided with a cruise ship on the Mississippi River in the US on Friday. Authorities said at least 180 passengers and crew were rescued. New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno described it as "a miracle on the Mississippi," adding that none of those hospitalized had critical injuries. Footage showed the paddlewheel cruise boat capsizing following the impact with the much larger cargo vessel and rescue teams rushing to get people in life jackets out of the water. The accident happened near the port of New Orleans when the freighter Atlantic Asphalt hit the cruise ship while it was docked. "It was just chaos," local witness Devon Flanagan was quoted by news agency AP.
