Norwegian cruise ship, MS Nordlys, one of the Hurtigruten ships billows smoke as it approaches Alesund in western Norway, Thursday Sept. 15, 2011. Passengers were forced to evacuate a popular cruise off Norway's craggy western coast on Thursday when a fire in the engine room killed two crew members and sent heavy smoke billowing through the ship. Operator Hurtigruten ASA said nine other crew were taken to hospital, two with serious burns and smoke injuries. All 207 passengers _ and most of the crew of 55 _ on board the MS Nordlys were taken to safety. Danielle Passebois-Paya, a French tourist, told Norwegian daily Aftenposten that the evacuation went smoothly. (AP Photo/Scanpix, Svein Ove Ekornesvag)
