Please, Mister, can I have my ship back?

We've all had kids balls and toys land in our yards, but this is another level entirely.

A classic example of "Ship Happens".

Huh? What did you say?

Another unemployed captain.

heckuva way to start your day...
"honey, there's a boat in the garden"

This is like that dumb movie the Obama’s made. That thing also looks to me like it is leaking something too. Sure seems like there is a sheen on the water surrounding it.

This Captain was lucky, he'll probably get fired. The North Koreans responsible for that new Destroyer launch are probably down range at the AA site.

His ship finally came in.

Wonder what the maritime salvage laws are in Norway? It may be the homeowner's vessel now.

So far, two fighter jets fall off a US aircraft carrier, North Korea loses a ship trying to launch it sideways(?), and some container ship captain has an LSD flashback (that's just a lie for the media) and misses the loading docks by goodness knows how much. Is the God Poseidon showing off again?

"His ship finally came in!", Rustyt1953. I would "Boo" but that there's funny!

If you look real close you can see a yellow submarine stuck under the boat. Interesting accident; we need more popcorn...
Seriously, I'm glad that homeowner didn't get hurt. Explain that to your life and home owner's insurance policy holder.

Also, HOA Karen is finally speechless!

Finders keepers.

Sideways launching has been done for decades. You don't need so much sea room that way.

Looking at the amount of red painted hull that's out of the water, I don't think they're gonna just back that container ship up.
