Crashed with house

[Bjoern Eddy Engelbrethsen]

Just saw on Norwegian news that the cargovessel "Victus" (I think that was the name) had crashed with a house!!! somewhere in Netherlands. Det captian had apparantly fallen asleep on the bridge. Anyone who can confirm??

... yes, German TV just showed 100 m long inland vessel "Virtus ?/Victus " (?) with her bow inside a small bungalow. Indeed Master was asleep and ship broke a canal-wall before she smashed the house ...

If you told me a ship rammed a house I would have thought it to be a houseboat!  Now I have seen about everything.  Sounds like something Homer Simpson would do.
