Johan Helberg woke up on Thursday morning to find his backyard view of a Norwegian fjord transformed into the side of a giant ship. A cargo ship, the NCL Salten, had run aground at about 5 a.m. on Thursday, barely missing his house on the shore in Byneset, a part of the city of Trondheim in central Norway. The police said on Friday that their investigation was focusing on the officer guiding the ship, saying that he told them he had fallen asleep before the crash. “I thought, who in the world rings the doorbell at 5:45 in the morning? I looked out the window, and he said: ‘Haven’t you seen the ship?’”
