Or something like that:
The captain of the luxury sightseeing boat hit by falling ice from a glacier in the Arctic was being interviewed over the incident today. The trip left 17 British tourists injured.
...Local officials said the passengers were hurt - some seriously - after being thrown around on the ship when large chunks of the ice shelf broke off and collapsed into the sea.
The blocks of ice hit the side of the vessel as it was carrying tourists off the Svalbard Islands, 300 miles north of Norway.
The injured Britons were among 46 who had paid around £2,500 to take part in the "expedition voyage", booked through specialist tour operator Discover The World.
...He added that the injuries sustained by the British tourists included broken arms and legs and fractured ribs.
