A cruise ship experiencing engine problems sent a mayday call off Norway's western coast, requesting the evacuation of 1,300 passengers and the crew. Passenger Alexus Sheppard captured the scene inside the "Viking Sky" cruise ship for CGTN. She told CGTN reporters that three helicopters are airlifting people to the shore. Less than 200 people have been taken out so far. The ship had engine problems after a severe storm hit Norway's coastal regions.
