Cruising for a bruising: Luxury ship passengers are injured by a falling ceiling on liner before 1,300 people were winched to safety as it drifted towards Norwegian coastline in heavy winds The Viking Sky suffered engine failure in storm off Norwegian coast on Saturday Video shows ceiling tiles falling down and furniture flying across the room Five helicopters were sent to winch passengers aboard and fly them to safety A 90-year-old man and his 70-year-old wife have been seriously injured A cargo ship which tried to help also had to be evacuated after losing power 230 people have so far been flown to safety, with 16 injured, three seriously Today hundreds remain on board as rescue efforts continue Hundreds of passengers remain trapped on a stricken cruise liner which will be towed towards shore today amid fears it may run aground. As the rescue operation off the Norwegian coast gets into its second day, as many as 200 UK citizens may be among hundreds still stuck on the Viking Sky, which lost power yesterday lunchtime amid huge swells in the Norwegian Sea. Falling ceiling tiles hit passengers on the head as the struggling cruise ship rolled almost 45 degrees onto its side, tipping to send tables and chairs skimming across the decks. Sixteen people have already been taken to hospital, three with serious injuries, and a 90-year-old man and his 70-year-old spouse were severely injured, according to Norwegian broadcaster NRK The Viking Sky, initially carrying 900 people including 200 Brits, was taking passengers on a 12-day luxury cruise along the Norwegian coast. The crew sent a distress signal at 2pm local time on Saturday, as the ship developed engine trouble in bad weather, finding itself in rough seas in the Hustadvika area on the western coast of Norway facing waves of six to eight meters (19-26 feet). After a decision to evacuate, five coast guard helicopter crews worked tirelessly yesterday, winching people one at a time from the deck of the stricken vessel and flying them fifteen at a time back to the shore. Police in Moere og Romsdal said the ship's crew had now managed to anchor in Hustadvika Bay, amid fears the vessel would run aground. The boat will be towed to the city of Molde, on Norway's west coast, on Sunday morning, authorities said. #
