Miraculous Escape! Cargo Ship Nearly Hits House in Norway

A Norwegian man had a surprisingly close call when a huge container ship ran aground just feet from his home in Byneset, near Trondheim, early on May 23rd, 2025. Johan Helberg was asleep when the incident occurred. A neighbor, noticing the ship's precarious position, alerted Helberg to the situation. "I couldn't believe it," said the neighbor, who wishes to remain anonymous, "The ship was so close!" Helberg, visibly shaken but unharmed, commented on the event, stating, "I slept right through it! It's unbelievable." Local authorities are investigating the cause of the grounding. Fortunately, no one was injured, and the incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of maritime transport.
