Read previewA Bulgarian cruise ship carrying over 140 passengers crashed into a concrete wall along the River Danube in Austria.
AdvertisementThe second-in-command of the ship, who had been at the helm during the crash, "pressed the emergency switch, whereupon the electronics started up again."
An Austrian police statement indicated the collision was linked to a failure of the ship's electronics.
It added: "After checking the ship it turned out that the electronics worked again after the emergency switch was reset, which is why the ship could continue its journey."
