Two people have died after an engine room fire on a Norwegian cruise ship and nine have been taken to the hospital, Norwegian police confirmed Thursday. The two killed are believed to be crew members. There were 55 crew on board the ship. All 207 passengers aboard have been safely evacuated and taken to a hotel in the town of Alesund, operator Hurtigruten ASA said. They are of various nationalities. The cruise ship was operating on a popular tourist route from Norway's second city, Bergen, to the small town of Kirkenes in the country's far northeast when the fire broke out, forcing the vessel to stop at Alesund. Thats too bad... Any comments???
