Johan Helberg slept through the whole incident.
A Norwegian man was sleeping soundly in early-morning Trondheim Fjord’s coast yesterday (22). So soundly, in fact, that he was completely oblivious of a gigantic metallic mass adrift in his direction.
The man woke up to find that utter destruction spared his house for just a few meters, as – to his complete surprise – he found out that a massive cargo ship had run aground and narrowly missed crashing into his home.
Associated Press reported:
“Johan Helberg told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that he’d slept through the whole thing and only woke up when a neighbor started ringing his doorbell.
Images show the ship’s red and green bow just meters (yards) from Helberg’s house. He told NRK the only damage was to a heating pump’s wire.”
That’s a near-miss indeed.

Helberg’s neighbor tried to call him, but the man would not pick up the calls before 6:00am.
“Authorities say they received reports that the NCL Salten had run aground shortly before 6 a.m. Thursday. No injuries or oil spills were reported.”

“Efforts to refloat the ship at high tide were unsuccessful Thursday.”
The NCL Shipping company put out a statement saying it was aware that police have one suspect, and assured it was cooperating with the investigation.
