Moment Tanker Crashed Into a Docked Cruise Ship During Nationwide Grounding

A tanker collided with a docked cruise ship with 129 passengers during this nationwide radar outage and plane grounding. The cruise ship is on its side. Eight people were sent to the hospital, and dozens were in the water. We don’t know whether it’s connected to the grounding. Perhaps not, since Secretary Duffy said there are no indications of anything “nefarious” in the radar problem.

This happened around 4 pm ET
