The Hableány disaster: Hotel ship Viking Sigyn collides with and sinks the cruise boat Hableány in Budapest, underneath Margaret Bridge. 28 people die, mostly South Korean tourists.

2019 maritime incident in Hungary

Hableány was a 27-metre (89 ft) river cruiser operated on the Danube river in Budapest, Hungary. On the rainy night of May 29, 2019, at 9:05 pm the 135-metre (443 ft) Viking Sigyn collided with Hableány from behind under the Margaret Bridge near the Parliament Building. Hableány sank in 7 seconds. The heavy rainfall and the resulting strong currents hampered rescue efforts, with some bodies found 100 km downstream.
