Blood spurted and the boat began to burn on the fly – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet): Almost every Saturday for two years, Stig Bendixen (53) tried to get through to NRK program “Popquiz” to get challenged their musical skills.

When he today finally came through on the phone, he and his wife on their first cruise with her new boat. Seemingly a perfect day.

At the other end of the telephone said that he came to be called back about 20 minutes.

During the 20 minutes everything changed.

Dramatic radio seconds

– Just after I hung up the first time started the engine of the boat burn. We stood ahead as covered and were ready to jump when it came some German fishermen and picked us up in his boat, said Bendixen told Dagbladet.

Kona mare first over in the boat, but then jumped over Bendixen landed him on a big fish hook.

– It was driven straight into the shin. Actually, one should then just cut the line and get a doctor to take out the hook, but he one fisherman just ripped it right out. When spruta the blood. It was then cut a major artery in the leg, he said.

And of course: In the blood began to spurt, the phone rang.

– First I had no idea that I was on the air. I said it enough maybe was not such a good idea that I was with, since my boat burned and it spruta blood everywhere, he says.

– tragicomic

Despite a dramatic Saturday morning, taking Bendixen it all with good humor. He came to the land where it stood a doctor and waited.

– That was fucking sucks. But there is little tragicomic. I laughs heartily now. There has not been a dull Saturday to speak, he said.

In all likelihood it’s going to go well with Bendixens place, unless there is an inflammation of the wound.

– My wife went straight to Vinmonopolet and bought a bottle of brandy to fishermen. Unless they had arrived, we had probably been out in the ocean each spring lifejacket right now, he says.

Bendixen is still a little bitter that he did not participate in your favorite radio program.

– I really hope I get a chance. I am genuinely interested in music, and listen to the program every Saturday, he said.

– Very impressed

Presenter in “Popquiz” Pia Skevik, says that she has never experienced anything like this before.

– It took some time before I realized it was serious, and that he was not kidding. He was very cheerful and laughing at, she says to Dagbladet, adding:

– With the combination of båtbrann and a foot that pumped blood, so we had to offer him to cancel.

She is very relieved that it went well in the end.

– We like to say that “Popquiz” is the most important in the world, but it’s not. I am very impressed that he actually took the phone, and I’m very happy that it went well, she says.

She hopes that Bendixen rings again next Saturday.

– I just have to say the Stig as I say to everyone else, that we have three telephone guards sitting here three every Saturday, taking the phone until three o’clock, she says, and adds:

– But it is clear that if Stig has horrible desire to be with, so he will probably be allowed to do so. He should at least get a t-shirt, a book and some other things in the mail as a thank you for their efforts.
