S01E01Dísarfell

Twelve castaways failed to reach the lifeboats when the cargo ship Dísarfell sank between Iceland and the Faroe Islands on March 9, 1997. They were left to fend for themselves in the merciless waves of the Atlantic Ocean, amidst containers, debris, and bunker oil, hoping to be rescued. Two men died in the accident. In this first episode of "Útkall" (Emergency Call), Óttar Sveinsson talks to Ingvi Hallgrímsson and Valdimar Sigþórsson, two of the castaways, and Benóný Ásgrímsson, the helicopter pilot who rescued them.
