    Viking Sky Cruise Ship looses 4(?) engines??

    https://www.foxnews.com/world/the-la...eve-been-lucky

    I know it's way too early to identify causes, but......Can anyone tell me how you lose 4 engines, and cant restart any of them?

    Eventually, they were able to start one engine but I guess it wasn't enough to keep them out of trouble.

    One of the main reasons I got a Hatteras was that there were two diesel engines....and having that redundancy if I ever lost/ or shut down an engine would almost always get you home.

    Having four engines would I think make it statistically highly improbable that you could loose all four and also not be able to restart any of them.

    Any opinions / thoughts?

    Here's a Wiki Article about the boat:

    Correction: It has 4 engines, but only two wheels on this boat (per Wiki Article)
