Rescue boats and a helicopter operate beside a cruise ship lying on its side in the Mississippi River. The footage follows the vessel slowly tipping over next to a pier after a tanker struck it while it was docked in New Orleans.

Japan's Nippon Television News reports that the collision happened on the afternoon of November 13, with about 190 passengers and crew aboard the cruise ship. Some were thrown into the river, but all were safely rescued, according to the report.

The local mayor said no one was missing. The bulletin also reports that 32 passengers were taken to hospitals and that none had life-threatening injuries.

The Japanese title, "【ミシシッピ川】クルーズ船にタンカー衝突一部の人が川に投げ出されるアメリカ", means "Tanker collides with cruise ship on Mississippi River in US, throwing some people into the water." The brief report ends with local authorities still investigating what caused the collision.
