@jackaytk4ic: Our son was aboard the American Heritage as a crew member and he's safe and OK! Around 12:30 his ship was was hit by American Asphalt Barge. He was helping people evacuate he was one of the last to get off due to helping others. He gave his life jacket to someone else. He is a hero! The ship was already on its side and he was afraid the gangway ramp would hit him in the back of head and kill him so he let go and went into the water, he was pushed under water by other passengers due to no life jacket and he was finally able to come up above water and swam the Mississippi River to shore to safety. His phone is broken he has updated us three times calling us on random phone numbers. We are unsure of his plans 12 are unaccounted for as of the last update. Please pray for all on board. Prior to this accident a lady passed away on the ship due to another cause and he was already upset about that already before this accident. Pray for all passengers, crew, and family of the the lady who passed away due to another issue prior to the accident. They also grounded all flights because communication is down. #AmericanHeritage #ShipSinking #MarineHistory #FinalVoyage #historyinthemaking
