Stunned locals look up in awe at the humongous vessel which is parked right by their quiet coastline. Deep sleeper Helber didn't even budge when the crash occurred. It dramatically barged right through his front garden at his pad in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim. Instead, he was woken up later by a neighbour who rushed round to check if he was okay. The tired man said: "The doorbell rang at a time when I don't really like opening the door. "I like to go back to sleep. But it was a very insistent ring, so I finally went to answer it." He added bluntly: "And there's a guy I know very well standing there, looking at me in amazement and saying: 'Have you not seen the ship?' "But I hadn't. So I went to the window and saw this [the ship]." Incredible footage showed the moments after the shocking crash. Moment couple are jeered & mocked by cruise ship passengers as boat sets sail without them after showing up 30 mins late The ship, which is more than twice the height of the local's house, is seen docked just outside the Norwegian's front porch. A man, who is not confirmed to be Helber himself, is seen walking away casually from the site of the impact. Local policeman Roger Gustafson said an investigation would be launched to try to find out what exactly caused the huge ship to crash. He added there was currently no suspicion of anyone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. No injuries or oil spills were reported either, and authorities now plan to remove the ship at high tide. It comes after footage captured the horrific moment a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the famous Brooklyn Bridge. The ship snapped all three of its masts as it collided with the New York City landmark leaving two people dead and 19 wounded. The Cuauhtemoc moved rapidly in reverse towards the bridge, close to the Brooklyn side of the East River, before its three masts struck the bridge and snapped one by one. 5 Incredible footage showed people inspecting the aftermath of the crash Credit: X @volcaholic1

Seriously deep sleeper not woken up by ship crashing in his garden
Why you can trust Sky News A cargo ship has crashed into a man's front garden in Norway, missing his home, where he was sleeping, by just a few metres. Johan Helber had been sound asleep when a 135m long container ship ran aground Thursday morning in the Trondheimsfjord off Byneset in Trondheim. No injuries or oil spills have been reported and authorities plan to remove the ship at high tide. Pictures show how close the huge ship came to splintering through Mr Helber's home. However, he didn't wake during the incident, and instead, was only later woken up when a neighbour rushed round to check if he was okay. "The doorbell rang at a time when I don't really like opening the door," Mr Helber said. He went on: "I like to go back to sleep. But it was a very insistent ring, so I finally went to answer it. "And there's a guy I know very well standing there, looking at me in amazement and saying: 'Have you not seen the ship?' "But I hadn't. So I went to the window and saw this [the ship]." Roger Gustafson, from the local police force, said an investigation would be launched to try to find out what happened. He added there was currently no suspicion of anyone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
