ORLANDO, Fla. _ A crane toppled over onto a Royal Caribbean cruise ship Monday with no passengers on board in the Bahamas, according to news reports.
The Oasis of the Seas vessel was in dry dock and out of service at the time of the accident, the cruise line said in a statement.
Royal Caribbean issued a statement saying eight people were injured in the accident.
"Earlier today, we responded to a site incident at the Grand Bahama Shipyard, where Oasis of the Seas is currently in drydock. Shipyard management has informed us of eight injuries, none of them considered life-threatening," according to the statement, posted by Miami TV station WSVN.
A video tweeted by Bahamas Press showed the construction equipment lying against the vessel at the Great Bahamas Shipyard near Freeport.
"Big, big, big, big disaster," a man's voice can be heard saying on the video.
"We are aware of damage to the dock structure and to construction cranes," Melissa Charbonneau, Royal Caribbean's director of corporate reputation, emailed in a statement. "We are assessing damage to the ship."
