Great day for fans of stuck boats, as a Cypriot cargo ship has parked itself in somebody's garden in Norway - AND THERE'S LIVE FOOTAGE!
It's actually really relaxing to watch unless, presumably, you're one of the crew...
Edit: boo! They've turned the camera off now it's dark and the page is down. I'll see if there's a YouTube version tomorrow or something.
I don't know about you, but I'd find opening my curtains in the morning to be confronted with this quite alarming...
I'd certainly be viewing the contents of my coffee with suspicion.
Ok, so there's footage available, and although we don't generally laugh at foreign languages here let me tell you the containerskipet comes i full fart all right.
Doesn't let up on the fart right up until it follows through, in fact...

The livestream is back up!

The latest dit is that NCL Salten is PROPERLY aground from bow to arse. The coastguard vessel KV Njord can be seen in the background, making sure it doesn't try anything funny.
Bit of a question about how aground it actually is...
Long story short, the arse is fine, the nose is in a flowerbed. About half of it is in less than 2m of water at the lowest tides.
@DreadShips I believe they are now really really really worried about that quick clay https://fribygda.no/@aagot/114551279322586716
Across the fjord they had an accident (there is a document on Youtube "The Quick Clay Landslide at Rissa - 1978 (English commentary)")
@DreadShips@mastodon.me.uk it is even worse. This is a quick clay area highly prone to huge land slides, and the boat has triggered a land slide partially under water, and the house is now evacuated until geologists are able to determine if the ground is stable. Removing the ship could make it a lot worse
