NEW ORLEANS – According to Carnival Cruise Line, two ships collided early Friday morning.

Social media was flooded with pictures and videos of the collision, which involved the Carnival Legend and Carnival Glory.

The Glory left New Orleans on Dec. 15 and is now headed back to New Orleans, damaged.
