A 440-foot ship nearly hit a Norway cabin as its owner slept. The helmsman was reportedly asleep too.

The 443-foot NCL Salten sailed up onto shore next to Johan Helberg's wooden cabin around dawn on Thursday.

That's probably the last thing anyone would expect to see when they open their eyes and glance out the bedroom window, in the morning.

BCP it's still morning and you already won the thread for today!

check out the region!

seems like some tight waterways for a 150m ship (maps link; pin is at the site)

Apparently the guy steering the ship fell asleep! Investigators are checking if break & duty times regulations were followed. I'd think someone with a reasonable sleep schedule wouldn't fall asleep at the wheel somewhere like that - I can see mid-ocean but that's damn tight

I'm in my 50's, and it still excites me, a little.

Yeah but we all know you are weird!

I'm cautiously going with "might not be real" for now.
Not impossible, but sunrise was at ~4AM and the grounding was at 5AM.
Also, the lighting in the video has the sun almost due north, which may be incorrect for that time of day - azimuth was 105° which is south of east.

Sorry, no picture but I saw something unusual yesterday.

Semi-tractor towing an identical Semi backwards, that is the rear wheels were up and the front wheels were on the ground. The unusual part was, there was a full size pick-up on a platform between the two semi's.

Transfering both semis plus his transportation home.

We have several semi truck dealerships locally plus several leasing companies. So its a pretty common site.

I think they call this "decked" towing.

Used to see this (stacked semi tractors) all the time, haven't seen it for a while. Maybe no longer legal in California? Or maybe just no demand.
