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.
