Man in Norway wakes to find huge container ship in garden

On his property? I'd be boarding that ship...
-
According to reports, the ship had previously run aground in 2023 but got free under its own power.
-
So the pilot and the homeowner both slept through the crash? Weed is legal there, isn't it?
-
Could have very easily been a mechanical failure. There are plenty of examples of cargo ships like that losing engines, losing steering, etc.
-
The watch officer apparently admitted that he fell asleep. I find it astonishing that such giant ships don't have an autopilot that can at least stop the ship before it crashes into land. Or a dead man's switch which would wake up the watch man or someone else.

Wild. I swear when I read this article it said the pilot was suspected of falling asleep. I must have read a different article. This one says:
The watch officer of a large container ship that ran aground and crashed into a garden in Norway has told police he was asleep at the time of the incident.

I'd expect some kind of alarm if that happens, but I would be wholly unsurprised if they saved money by omitting it.

Very much illegal

...finders keepers?

His reaction is so golden.

"Fuckin' hell... I don't remember plantin' that!"
