If you’ve paid attention to the news over the past few days, you’ve no doubt seen the harrowing photos and videos from inside the Viking Sky cruise ship that got mired off the coast of Norway.
The ship lost three of its four engines when it sailed into the path of a “bomb cyclone.” 1,300 unlucky passengers were stranded on board the vessel.
