[CW] Ship in Distress

[Richard Knoppow]

     Story in the media today about a Norwegian cruise ship who 
declared a distress condition. Lost an engine in a heavy storm 
and is afraid of running aground. 1300 passengers being removed 
via helicopter. A second ship in the vicinity has also asked for 
help. This one is a freighter. The report said nine passengers 
but I think that is the crew. Also in trouble in the same storm.
    Nothing to do with CW but some here will understand the 
difficulties are still the same as in the old days.
