How did it feel to see the iceberg?
“My brother saw the glacier that we were about to hit,” Benjamin Talbot told the media. The shock shook everything. As if someone had hit him hard on the shoulder. It was like listening when you shut the door loudly.

In the video, Talbot shouts “Oh my God, it’s Titanic 2.0!” Screaming can be heard. But he insisted he wasn’t panicked, but was surprised by the size of the iceberg. He later expressed his gratitude to the cruise staff, whom he described as professional and comfortable throughout the experience.
The ship will now be repaired
According to media reports, the Norwegian ship sailed for Juno for further evaluation, where it was allowed to return to Seattle at low speed by the United States Coast Guard. The ship was safely docked in Seattle on June 26 and will remain there until repairs are completed.
