More than 1,000 cruise passengers have been evacuated from a ship off the west coast of Norway.
Jaw-dropping footage shows out-of-control furniture tear across rooms and the ceiling cave in on board the liner pounded by brutal waves and monster gales.
Some 1,300 tourists are being freed from the stranded Viking Sky, a Viking Ocean Cruises vessel, off the coast of Hustadvika, west Norway, tonight.
It's believed some Brits are onboard.
It suffered engine failure in the stormy conditions and helicopters were scrambled to take the tourists, one by one, to safety.
But emergency services can only take 15 people per flight, it's claimed, so the mission is expected to last several hours into tonight.
In one dramatic clip posted online, Viking Sky rocks side to side as chairs and tables slide across a room packed with terrified tourists.
The passengers take cover as part of the ceiling crashes down and debris is sent flying across the lounge.
Other harrowing footage shows water soak panicked passengers as they're rescued from the boat.
And photos taken inside show the horrific damage the pounding nine-metre waves have caused.
Furniture has said to have smashed into pieces.
A glass door appears to have been destroyed in one picture.
In others, terrified tourists sit with life jackets waiting for their turn to be hoisted free.
And at least eight people are being treated in hospital for minor injuries, sources say.
