**Cargo Ship Runs Aground in Norwegian Fjord, Shocking Local Resident**
A Norwegian retiree finds his idyllic fjord view dramatically altered by the grounding of a massive cargo ship, prompting surprise and concern.
On Thursday morning, Johan Helberg, a retiree residing on the serene shores of a Norwegian fjord, was jolted awake by his neighbor's urgent knocking. Upon investigation, he was met with an astonishing sight—a colossal cargo ship, the NCL Salten, had run aground just a stone's throw from his home in Byneset, a picturesque area within the city of Trondheim.
Having slept through the early morning mishap, Mr. Helberg initially questioned the nature of the disturbance. "I heard what I thought might be my doorbell. Who rings at 5:45 AM?" he recounted later. It was only when his neighbor pointed out the absurd scene unfolding outside that he grasped the situation—the gigantic vessel had barely missed crashing into his home by a mere five or six yards.
Had the ship's trajectory been altered even slightly, it could have led to a catastrophic collision. Reflecting on the surreal moment, Mr. Helberg commented, “It's completely surreal. I impressed myself by staying cool. I have seen and been through worse.”
Contrastingly, his neighbor, who witnessed the ship careening onto the land, was left in a state of shock, a sentiment shared by many locals as the stunning visuals of the grounded ship began to circulate, capturing the extraordinary moment in their quiet neighborhood.
