British Couple Recount Terrifying Moment
Waves Smash into UK-Bound Vessel
A cruise ship traveling through the North Sea was struck by a massive 70-foot wave, causing significant damage and panic among passengers.
. The incident occurred on the Norwegian Dawn, which was en route to the United Kingdom. A video captured the passengers wearing life vests and holding onto tables as the ship rocked violently due to the impact.
According to a British couple onboard, the waves were so powerful that the captain had to relocate the bridge to the passenger lounge for safety. The impact shattered windows and sent furniture flying, but fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
Meteorological experts have attributed the freak wave to a combination of severe storms and high winds in the area. Passengers on the ship reported experiencing gale-force winds and rough seas throughout the journey.
The cruise ship sustained significant damage and had to return to port for repairs. The Norwegian Dawn is expected to undergo a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and ensure the safety of passengers and crew going forward.
