Ship shape

The MS Nordlys ("Northern Light"), a Norwegian cruise ship, is dangerously close to tipping over on Sept. 16 after a fire broke out in the engine room the day before. A local police chief said the ship was tilting at an angle of 21.7 degrees -- over the critical limit of 20 degrees -- and that rescue teams were furiously trying to pump water out to restore balance.
