Helberg only discovered the unexpected visitor when a panicked neighbour who had rung his doorbell repeatedly to no avail gave up and called him on the phone.

“The doorbell rang at a time of day when I don’t like to open,” Helberg told television channel TV2.

Relatable

Helberg says he did not wake up when the ship hit land a few meters away from the house.

But we woke up to the neighbor loudly ringing the doorbell. He said: Haven't you seen the ship?

It was quite absurd. When I looked out the window, there was a huge ship's bow there, says Helberg.

Lol I love this guy

Helberg, the hero of Trondheim. It's a warmish spring morning; how many of those do they get a year there? 20? Helberg is not gonna waste that.

Could have landed anywhere else on that empty shoreline but almost hit that tiny house. Shit sucks sometimes.

I'd say it's the opposite of sucky that the house was missed

Well, once one makes big headlines, and clicks, the media realizes it's been a neglected source of revenue.

Population density is about on the level of Finland, I live in the south of Finland, and houses on the coast like that with several hundred meters of no-one else around aren't that rare when you go even 5-10km fron the city centre.

So I assume they aren't in Trondheim either.

Well that was my point yeah, no one else around yet that ship is right on top of his house

Willem Dafoe, call your office for another sequel. Didn't they drop an anchor on his character at the conclusion?
