官员表示，将需要数周时间才能移走这艘游轮。梅雷迪斯·德利索、伊万·佩雷拉、维多利亚·阿兰西奥报道 官员周五表示，在新奥尔良港附近的密西西比河上，一艘油轮与一艘停泊的河船相撞，造成30多人受伤。
It will take weeks for the cruise ship to be removed, officials said. By Meredith Deliso, Ivan Pereira, Victoria Arancio Over 30 people were injured after a tanker collided with a docked riverboat on the Mississippi River near the Port of New Orleans, officials said Friday.
据新奥尔良官员称，事发时“美国传承号”游轮上有近200人，大西洋沥青公司的油轮撞上了该游轮。新奥尔良市长海伦娜·莫雷诺表示，所有人均已确认下落，她称这是“密西西比河上的奇迹”。官员称，来自游轮的30名乘客和两名落水警官被送医，伤势均非危及生命。莫雷诺周六下午表示，除八名伤者外，其余伤员均已出院。官员称，其中两名患者伤势严重，其余患者情况稳定。当局表示，没有儿童涉事。
Nearly 200 people were on board the cruise ship, American Heritage, when the Atlantic Asphalt tanker collided with it, according New Orleans officials. All have been accounted for, according to New Orleans Mayor Helena Moreno, calling it a "miracle on the Mississippi." Thirty passengers from the cruise ship and two officers who ended up in the water were hospitalized with non-critical injuries, according to officials. By Saturday afternoon, all but eight of those victims were released from the hospital, Moreno said. Two of those patients were in serious condition while the others were in stable condition, officials said. No children were involved, authorities said.
莫雷诺表示，应急响应于周五中午开始，当时油轮“失控并撞上了游轮”。
The emergency response began midday Friday, when the tanker "lost control and collided into the cruise ship," Moreno said.
她在周五下午的新闻发布会上说：“乘客在碰撞后开始离船。但就在那时，游轮开始下沉，随后最终倾覆翻船。当那种情况发生时，我们开始有人落水。”警方开始协助疏散乘客，但并非所有人都在游轮开始倾覆前成功离船，当局表示。剩余乘客被转移到各艘船只上以获救，搜救工作现已结束，当局表示。莫雷诺赞扬了涉及第一响应者和志愿者的救援行动。
"The passengers began disembarking from the ship after that collision. But while that was happening, the cruise ship began to sink, and then eventually, the cruise ship toppled over and flipped," she said at a news conference Friday afternoon. "Now, when that occurred, we started to have people in the water." Police began helping evacuate passengers, though not everyone was able to get off before the ship began to capsize, authorities said. The remaining passengers were taken onto various boats to get them to safety, and the search and rescue effort is now over, authorities said. Moreno praised the rescue effort involving first responders and volunteers.
她说：“就目前我们掌握的信息来看，零人员失联，这确实是密西西比河上的奇迹，这要归功于所有第一响应者——地方、州、联邦各级——他们毫不犹豫地投身救援。”
"At this moment, the information that we have, we have zero people unaccounted for, which truly is a miracle on the Mississippi, and that is a credit to all of the first responders, local, state, federal, who literally jumped right in to help," she said.
据新奥尔良港口局称，碰撞发生在当地时间周五中午 12 点 30 分左右。消息人士称，油轮从侧面猛烈撞上了河轮。
The collision occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time Friday, according to the Port of New Orleans. The tanker struck the riverboat broadside and hard, sources said.
伯纳姆在周五的新闻发布会上表示，油轮似乎出现了“某种转向失灵”。“确切原因我们还不清楚，”她说。
The tanker appears to have had "some type of a loss of steering," Burnham said during Friday's news conference. "The exact reason why, we don't know that," she said.
据美国海岸警卫队梅拉妮·伯纳姆上尉称，这艘游轮“严重受损”，仅有一小部分仍露在水面以上。
The cruise ship is "significantly damaged," with a small portion remaining above the water line, according to U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Melanie Burnham.
到周六下午，油轮已被移离现场，但市长和伯纳姆表示，要安全移走游轮还需要数周时间。
By Saturday afternoon, the tanker was removed from the site, however, the mayor and Burnham said it would take weeks for the cruise ship to be safely removed.
伯纳姆周六对记者说：“我们要安全地做这件事，确保万无一失。”
"We're going to do this safely and make sure that we do this right," Burnham told reporters Saturday.
伯纳姆说，事故仍在调查中。市长表示，国家运输安全委员会也已派出调查组，并在周六抵达现场。
The incident remains under investigation, Burnham said. The National Transportation Safety Board also said it launched a team to investigate and were on the ground Saturday, the mayor said.
路易斯安那州州长杰夫·兰德里在新闻发布会上说：“我们将彻查到底，查明究竟发生了什么，并确保做出必要的调整，让在此航行的人们知道他们可以安全出行。”
"We are going to get down to the bottom of exactly what happened here, and make sure that we make any adjustments necessary so that the people that travel on the waterways here can can know that they can do so in safety," Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said at the news conference.
据新奥尔良港口局称，河轮在大约两小时前靠岸，开始让乘客下船。
The riverboat had docked approximately two hours earlier to begin passenger disembarkation, according to the Port of New Orleans.
一名“美国传承号”船员告诉美国广播公司新闻部，他感觉到船身震动，起初以为船长在移动船只。
An American Heritage crew member told ABC News that he felt the boat shake, and initially thought the captain was moving the boat.
餐厅经理扎伊翁说：“餐厅里有个洞，另一艘船的船体穿了进来。他不想公布姓氏。情况有点混乱，但我们团队知道该怎么做。”扎伊翁表示，船员每周都会针对此类情形进行演练，团队“保持冷静”，帮助受惊的客人撤离到安全处。
"There was a hole with the hull of the other boat in the dining room," said Zayvion, a restaurant manager who did want his last name published. "It was a little chaotic, but our team knew what we were doing." Zayvion said the crew trains weekly for such a scenario and the team "just stayed calm" and helped guide shaken-up guests to safety.
“很多人当时都吓坏了，不知道会发生什么，尤其是船倾斜的时候，”他说。“对很多人来说都很可怕。就连我，当船倾斜时，我心想，这下真的要出事了。”
"A lot of people were just scared, like what's gonna happen, especially as the boat tipped over," he said. "It was scary for a lot of people. Even me, like, when it was tipping, I was like, it was getting real."
该游轮的运营商美国邮轮公司在救援行动后发表声明称，它“感谢美国海岸警卫队、我们的船员以及新奥尔良当地一线救援人员的巨大救援努力。”
American Cruise Lines, the riverboat's operator, said in a statement following the operation that it is "grateful to the U.S. Coast Guard, our crew, and the local first responders on the ground in New Orleans for their tremendous rescue efforts."
声明接着说：“我们正在安排所有船上人员入住酒店，并确保他们拥有所需的一切。我们也与美国海岸警卫队、新奥尔良警方及其他机构保持密切联系，并将继续与他们协调。”官员称，包括新奥尔良消防局、新奥尔良警局和美国海岸警卫队在内的多个机构赶赴现场。
"We are getting everyone who was aboard the ship settled into hotels and making sure they have everything they need," the statement continued. "We are also in close contact with the U.S. Coast Guard, New Orleans Police, and other agencies, and will continue to coordinate with them." Multiple agencies, including the New Orleans Fire Department, the New Orleans Police Department and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the scene, officials said.
“河段在93至96英里标志之间对所有船只交通关闭，以便救援人员评估局势并开展救援行动，”海岸警卫队表示。
"The river is closed to all vessel traffic between mile markers 93 and 96 while responders assess the situation and conduct response operations," the Coast Guard said.
周六，伯纳姆表示，部分河道已恢复双向通行。她补充说，事故现场周围500英尺的安全区仍然生效。
On Saturday, Burnham said that some of the riverway was open to two-way traffic. A 500-foot safety zone remained in effect around the site of the incident, she added.
