Panic during a cruise in front of Norway | Chronic

Cruise damaged by a mechanical failure on the west coast of Norway, which had saved nearly 500 people and hospitalized 17 others, including three seriously, arrived Sunday after being towed by a major operation with boats and helicopters .

The Norwegian boat "Viking Heaven", finally landed in Molde (northern Norway), twenty-six hours after sending an alarm message for an engine failure that left him at the mercy of a strong swell and led to the ## 147 ## 39 evacuation of 463 people on 1,373 plank

Until the time when the towing operation began, 463 of the 1,300 people on board the ship had been transferred ashore, of which 17 were hospitalized.
As reported by the above-mentioned Nordic public television, three pbadengers are in serious condition.

Norwegian shipping authorities were warned Saturday at 1 pm GMT of the warning that the ship was in trouble when engine problems were reported. From there, a rescue operation was articulated on the ground, initially involving the intervention of several ships and helicopters. Four hours after the evacuation began, they began rescuing groups of 10 to 15 pbadengers.

The operation that began last Saturday was complicated by waves and strong winds. On Sunday, mid-morning, Norwegian rescue services announced the reactivation of three of the ship's engines. The cruise ship therefore began to sail again alone.
