"Thank you to the United States Coast Guard for doing such an incredible job of rescue, and other work, having to do with the crash of the two ships in Louisiana. Likewise, all of Law Enforcement and First Responders were fantastic! Incredibly, nobody was killed by this major collision," he wrote on social media.

"32 people are in the hospital. Thank you to Governor Jeff Landry for your outstanding leadership during this very agonizing period of time," he added.
