Six Injured after Two Carnival Cruise Ships Crash
WHITFIELD: All right. Welcome back. Two Carnival Cruise ships collide, sending passengers onboard into a panic.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What do we do.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He's going to hit us next.</s>WHITFIELD: And that's how it happened. Six people are injured. CNN's Nick Watt has more.</s>NICK WATT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, according to the cruise line, Carnival Glory was maneuvering to dock when it made contact with Carnival Legend. No more detail yet on what exactly caused this collision or allision -- as they are calling it. An allision, by the way, is when one boat is stationary and another is moving. But CNN has spoken to passengers aboard the vessels. One person said it felt like a big wave had hit the ship. Other passengers said that announcements after the event suggested that perhaps currents were a factor here. Another suggested that perhaps wind was a factor.</s>WATT: These are huge vessels. The Carnival Glory, when it's at full tilt, it has a stopping distance of one mile. This is a massive ship. Of course it was not going at full tilt here. It was maneuvering at low speed. But this ship 110,000 tons, a capacity of passenger/crew of over 4,000 people hitting another vessel, another 85,000-ton vessel. That is going to be a smash. It was bow to stern. Now, the cruise line says that they are right now assessing the seaworthiness of both vessels. They do not expect that seaworthiness to have been compromised at all by this event. They told passengers to go ashore, enjoy their day ashore, and they do not anticipate that the itinerary of either ship will be impacted. Not a nightmare before Christmas, a low-speed allision before Christmas. Nick Watt, CNN -- Los Angeles.</s>WHITFIELD: Frightening moment. And the ship is now on its way back to its home port in New Orleans. And according to a letter from the captain, passengers were given a $100 per room onboard credit for the inconvenience. All right, next, why a top evangelical magazine is calling for the President to be removed from office.
