一艘已经靠泊约两小时的油轮,怎么会撞上一艘客船?这是「大西洋沥青号」在新奥尔良撞上「美国传统号」后,仍未得到解答的核心问题。客船倾覆,大部分船身没入水下。官员称,两艘船上的人员均已确认安全,无人死亡。超过30人需要住院治疗。救援成功了,但碰撞原因仍不明。⁠7⁠13

碰撞发生于2026年11月13日星期五中午12:30左右(美国中部标准时间),地点在新奥尔良港附近的密西西比河上。由美国邮轮公司运营的「美国传统号」当时已靠泊,准备让乘客下船。这并非已确认的两艘移动船只相互交错航道的情况:油轮撞上的是一艘停靠在码头的客船。⁠1⁠7

市长海伦娜·莫雷诺称油轮「失去了控制」。撞击发生后,人们正在下船时,客船开始下沉,随后倾覆翻转,将船上人员抛入河中。警方当时正协助疏散,但船只倾覆前并非所有人都能离开。严重受损的船只只有一小部分仍露出水面。⁠7⁠13

尚未完成的疏散被沉船打断

船上人员和河岸目击者的描述都显示,逃生路线在人们脚下不断变化。目击者杰米·霍尔福德告诉CBS新闻,他看到人们匆忙离开「美国传统号」,船身倾斜时,他们又翻过栏杆逃生。有些人穿着救生衣在水中;另一些人站在栏杆附近,眼看着船的另一侧越沉越深。⁠7

一名仅以扎伊维恩为名的餐厅经理告诉ABC新闻,他感觉船身摇晃,起初以为船长正在移动船只。随后,他在餐厅里看到了另一艘船的船体。他说,船员保持冷静,引导受惊的乘客脱险,并运用了每周进行的应急训练。这是船员对现场应对情况的描述,并非关于船只安全准备是否充分的独立调查结论。⁠13

据报道,附近船只从水中救起了十多名人员。私人船只运营者作为志愿者参与救援,与新奥尔良港港口警察、新奥尔良消防员、市警察和美国海岸警卫队并肩行动。其余乘客被转移到船上脱险。随后,当局表示搜救行动已经结束。⁠7⁠13

此时我们掌握的信息是,没有任何人下落不明,这在密西西比河上确实是个奇迹;这要归功于所有第一响应人员,包括地方、州和联邦层面的人员,他们确实立即跳入水中施以援手。

救援人员也面临危险。港口警察局长梅兰妮·蒙特罗尔表示,两名警员住院,情况良好。莫雷诺称油轮上无人受伤,当局表示没有儿童卷入事故。美国邮轮公司证实,乘客和船员已撤离,并表示正在安排酒店,确保船上人员获得所需帮助。⁠7⁠13

结果比统计数字更明确

「所有人都已确认安全」是救援最重要的结果,但这不代表所有人都没有受伤,也没有解决住院人数说法相互矛盾的问题。CBS新闻11月13日的报道援引莫雷诺的话称,32名邮轮乘客住院,无人伤势危重,另有两名港口警察也住院。ABC新闻11月13日的报道则称,住院者包括30名乘客和两名警员——共32人,伤势均不危及生命。这两种人员构成说法不同,目前仍未厘清。⁠7⁠13

可以稳妥确认的是,超过30人需要住院治疗,且没有乘客伤势危重的报告。若将32人或34人中的任何一个数字作为已确定的总人数发布,就会造成现有报道无法支持的精确印象。

早先的估算人数较少,但并非与最终统计相互竞争的数字。联邦众议员特洛伊·卡特最初称约有13人住院。LCMC Health估计,其旗下医院接收了24名患者——这是单一医疗系统的分项人数,不一定代表全市总数。尽管乘客和警员的人数构成仍需澄清,这些早期报道已被后来的医院统计所取代。⁠11

另一个统计问题是船上人数以及他们如何脱险。新奥尔良港估计船上约有129名乘客,另有船员。一些早期报道将其写成船上共有129人,抹去了乘客与船上所有人员之间的区别。其他估算则称乘客和船员共180至190人,或接近200人。没有一份报告提供最终且经过核实的乘客与船员名单。⁠7⁠14⁠12⁠13

救援人数的统计也不一致。BBC在11月13日报道称,约有130人获救;CBS芝加哥当天的视频报道则援引市长的话称,至少有180名乘客和船员。南华早报也报道了这一由市长提供的180人数字。现有报道没有说明人数差异是否源于已在岸上的人员、直接转移到船上的人员,以及从河中救起的人员之间的统计口径不同。⁠2⁠10⁠19

BBC Mundo报道称,在客船沉没前,约120名乘客中近90人已经下船。不能将这一估算与港口公布的乘客人数或其他媒体的救援人数安全地合并,以计算当时还留在船上的人数。「美国传统号」可载150名乘客这一信息也无法解决问题:载客量不等于乘客名单,而且不包含本次航程中未经核实的船员人数。⁠8⁠7

关于转向问题的线索,而非结论

美国海岸警卫队上尉梅兰妮·伯纳姆表示,调查人员正在调查是否发生转向失灵。她的限定说法与这条调查线索本身同样重要:「具体原因是什么,我们还不知道。」海岸警卫队调查人员正在现场开展工作,但尚未公布已确认的事故原因。⁠7

可能发生转向失灵,目前还不能据此认定存在机械故障、引航员失误或过失。莫雷诺笼统称油轮「失去了控制」,但没有指出究竟是哪个系统或决策出了问题。据《独立报》报道,「大西洋沥青号」上有一名河道引航员,调查人员计划询问这名引航员。现有报道中没有已确认的访谈结果。⁠7⁠11

美国国家运输安全委员会计划另行展开调查,预计「调查小组」将于11月14日星期六上午抵达。这是宣布的派遣目标,并不代表调查人员已确认抵达,也不意味着他们已经得出结论。州长杰夫·兰德里承诺将展开调查,并在必要时调整水道安全措施。⁠13

货物情况也有待查明。CBS新闻援引美联社基于MarineTraffic信息的报道,称「大西洋沥青号」专营沥青和柏油,并指出其所有者是中国国有企业中国船舶集团有限公司旗下的一家子公司。这些信息并不能证实油轮当天装载了什么货物、装载了多少,或是否有任何货物泄漏入河。⁠7

碰撞造成的影响不止于船只受损。海岸警卫队在救援人员评估情况期间,关闭了密西西比河第93至96英里航标之间、长达3英里的河段,渡轮服务也暂停了。伯纳姆表示,官员将尽快评估何时重新开放水道,但尚无已确认的开放时间或渡轮恢复服务时间。⁠13⁠11

眼下的宽慰有其依据:官员称,一场码头碰撞演变成船只倾覆和河上救援后,无人死亡。接下来需要进行另一种统计:船上究竟有谁、谁住了院、油轮哪里出了问题,以及河道何时能够安全重新开放。救援成功,并不能回答救援为何有必要。

播出原貌
  1. A tanker overturned a docked cruise boat, sending people into the river.
  2. Everyone aboard both vessels is accounted for, and officials report no deaths. More than 30 people needed hospital care, and the collision closed part of the Mississippi River.
  3. Investigators are trying to determine why the tanker couldn't avoid a passenger vessel sitting at the dock.
  4. The Atlantic Asphalt struck the American Heritage near the Port of New Orleans. The cruise boat rolled onto its side and became largely submerged. Only a small part remained above the waterline.
  5. The collision happened around 12:30 p.m. Friday, November 13. The American Heritage had docked about two hours earlier so passengers could leave. People were still getting off after the impact when the boat began sinking.
  6. Mayor Helena Moreno said the tanker had “lost control.” She described the cruise boat sinking, then toppling over and flipping. Police helped passengers evacuate, but some couldn't get off before it capsized.
  7. Nearby boats pulled more than a dozen people from the water. Private boat operators joined as volunteers. Some passengers were in life jackets, while others stood near the railing as the opposite side sank farther. Rescuers moved the remaining passengers onto boats.
  8. Port NOLA Harbor Police, city firefighters, New Orleans police and the Coast Guard all responded. Witness Jamie Holford described people hurrying off the boat, then climbing over its railings as it rolled.
  9. A restaurant manager identified only as Zayvion said he felt the boat shake and initially thought the captain was moving it. Then he saw the other vessel's hull in the dining room. He said crew members guided frightened guests to safety.
  10. Zayvion said the crew trained weekly for emergencies like this and stayed calm during the evacuation. American Cruise Lines, the operator, confirmed that guests and crew were evacuated.
  11. Moreno said 32 passengers went to area hospitals, none with critical injuries. Harbor Police Chief Melanie Montroll said two officers were also hospitalized and were in good condition. Officials said no children were involved, and nobody aboard the tanker was hurt.
  12. Two different hospital breakdowns remain unresolved. One puts the officers on top of the passenger count. The other includes them within a total of 32.
  13. The competing figures are 32 passengers with two officers additionally hospitalized, or 30 passengers and two officers, making 32 people altogether. More than 30 people needed hospital care. No critical passenger injuries were reported.
  14. Earlier figures were lower. Representative Troy Carter initially described about 13 people hospitalized. LCMC Health estimated that its own hospitals received two dozen patients. That estimate covered one health system, so it couldn't supply the full citywide count.
  15. Subscribe to this channel as we follow the collision investigation and the unresolved hospital and rescue counts.
  16. The port estimated about 129 passengers aboard, plus crew. That passenger count became a total-person count in some early descriptions, and other estimates differed substantially.
  17. The rescue totals range from about 130 people to at least 180 passengers and crew. Those figures haven't been reconciled. Officials say everyone aboard both vessels is accounted for, and the search-and-rescue operation has ended.
  18. One description even paired around 130 people aboard with at least 180 rescued. The exact passenger-and-crew total is still unsettled.
  19. Other estimates put passengers and crew at 180 to 190, or nearly 200 people. A separate description put nearly 90 of about 120 passengers ashore before the sinking. Those figures can't safely tell us how many remained aboard or entered the water.
  20. American Cruise Lines said it was settling everyone who had been aboard into hotels and making sure they had what they needed. It said it was coordinating with the Coast Guard, New Orleans police and other agencies.
  21. The American Heritage was built in 2015, stands five stories tall and can carry up to 150 passengers. Its capacity doesn't resolve how many passengers and crew were aboard when the tanker struck.
  22. Early descriptions put the Atlantic Asphalt at 160 metres, or 520 feet, long. They also put the rescue water temperature at 19 degrees Celsius, or 66 Fahrenheit.
  23. The tanker is designed to carry asphalt and bitumen, a semisolid material used for roads and roofing. Shipping-tracker information identifies its owner as a subsidiary of the Chinese state-owned China State Shipbuilding Corporation. What cargo it carried that day, and whether any escaped, haven't been confirmed.
  24. Coast Guard Captain Melanie Burnham said investigators were examining a possible loss of steering. She immediately added, “The exact reason why, we don't know that.” Investigators haven't determined why the tanker struck the docked boat.
  25. A river pilot was aboard the tanker, and investigators planned to interview the pilot. Coast Guard investigators were already working at the scene.
  26. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry promised to investigate exactly what happened and make any necessary waterway safety adjustments. President Donald Trump praised the Coast Guard and other law enforcement agencies for their rescue work.
  27. The Coast Guard closed vessel traffic between Mississippi River mile markers 93 and 96, a three-mile stretch. Ferry service was suspended too. Burnham said officials would evaluate how to reopen the waterway as soon as possible.
  28. Officials haven't announced a reopening time. The National Transportation Safety Board planned a separate investigation, with a Go Team expected to arrive Saturday morning, November 14.
