Creator's Key Takeaways
In March 2019, the cruise ship Viking Sky set sail along Norway's coast. But what began as a perfect voyage quickly turned into a nightmare.
They didn't know how the ship would lose power or that they'd be stranded in the middle of the ocean or that 5 days straight they'd be living in sewage soaked hallways without flushing toilets or working air conditioning.
The evacuation was slow and disorganized. People had no idea what was happening. As the ship listed hard to one side, panic set in fast.
Winds reached over 150 mph and waves rose nearly 50 ft. Passengers were told to stay in their rooms for safety reasons.
