Cargo Ship Crashes into Norwegian Man's Garden: Homeowner's Remarkable Reaction

A cargo ship crashed into a Norwegian man's garden early this morning after its second officer fell asleep at the helm. The vessel, a Cypriot-flagged container ship, ran aground, coming to rest partially in the yard of Johan Helberg. Helberg, who was asleep at the time, was awakened by his neighbor banging on his door. "I was also asleep," Helberg said in an interview, "but I'm glad the salvage operation went well, and they didn't just tear it apart." Norwegian prosecutors have charged the second officer with negligent navigation. Despite the incident, Helberg's perspective is surprisingly positive. "I wouldn't have traded this experience for anything," he said. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maritime safety and the unexpected events that can occur.
