Cargo Ship Runs Aground in Norwegian Homeowner's Garden

In the quiet town of Byneset, Norway, an unexpected visitor arrived in the early hours of Thursday morning. A 135-meter cargo ship, carrying containers, ended up nestled in the garden of Johan Helberg's house. Helberg, still shaken, recounted, "It was completely absurd. When I looked out the window, there was a huge bow right there!" He hadn't heard the ship arrive, only waking when his neighbor repeatedly knocked on his door. Norwegian police confirmed only one person was on the bridge at the time of the incident. While the official cause is still under investigation, the crew member reportedly admitted to falling asleep at the helm. The incident highlights the sometimes unexpected consequences of even momentary lapses in attention. The ship, en route from Northern Norway to Orkanger, is currently being assessed for damage. The story serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of maritime incidents, even in seemingly calm waters.
