In a jaw-dropping twist of fate, Johan Helberg, a retiree living in Byneset, Norway, woke up to a shocking sight on Thursday—a cargo ship named the NCL Salten had crashed into his backyard, nearly colliding with his home. Mr. Helberg, who slept through the initial incident around 5 a.m., was alerted by a concerned neighbor.
When he looked outside, he was astonished to see the colossal vessel looming over his property, missing his bedroom by mere yards. “Had it been just a bit off course, it could have gone right into my house. It’s completely surreal,” he remarked. While he managed to remain calm, others around him were left in shock, unable to comprehend the sight of a giant cargo ship wedged onto the peaceful shore of Trondheim.
Local residents and onlookers expressed their disbelief as photos and videos spread, showcasing the unusual and unexpected arrival of the NCL Salten in such a tranquil setting. “I impressed myself by staying cool,” said Helberg, who is no stranger to unusual events. “I have seen and been through worse.”
