事故発生から約4時間半後の11月13日16時58分にアメリカ沿岸警備隊（United States Coast Guard）は更新したX投稿で、衝突後にすべての乗客が無事であることを確認し、死傷者の報告がないことを発表。現在、ミシシッピ川の航路再開とリバークルーズ船「AMERICAN HERITAGE」回収作業の調整をおこなっていると明らかにしています。
As expected, new footage. This comes from one of the outboard cabins on board American Heritage.
What we see in this video:
1⃣The ship still had propulsion as we can see some wake astern of the vessel. This was not clear in the earlier videos – probably due to the distance.
2⃣After clearing the Crescent City Connection bridge, the ship appears to make a hard right turn, vice drifting back down after losing power.
3⃣The crew have dropped both anchors in an attempt to arrest the forward motion of the vessel, but it is not enough to stop the ship.
4⃣Atlantic Asphalt never sounded a danger signal to give warning to those on-board American Heritage.
5⃣This is not the reason you book a balcony room on a cruise ship.
