Ferry company apologizes after disturbing incident involving young children exposed to adult content.
A Danish ferry operator, DFDS, has issued a formal apology following an alarming incident that left several children "screaming" on one of its ships traveling from France to the UK. The distressing event occurred during a delay in service at Newhaven port due to a technical fault.
In a bizarre twist, an adult film was mistakenly broadcast on the lounge television for passengers who had been watching a Formula One grand prix, causing widespread shock and discomfort among young viewers. According to eyewitnesses, children were exposed to explicit content that left them "screaming" in distress.
DFDS has admitted to making an error by broadcasting the incorrect program, stating that the crew was unaware of the film's intended content before it went live. The company swiftly changed the channel once alerted to the situation, and the adult film is no longer available on the ferry's television list.
The incident sparked outrage among passengers, who expressed their frustration and anger at being exposed to such distressing material. One passenger described the scene as "mad" and expressed shock that the error occurred in the first place. The company has vowed not to repeat the mistake and has apologized for the understandable upset caused by the unfortunate incident.

I feel so bad for those poor kids who got exposed to adult content on a ferry meant to be a fun trip with their families. 
How could this happen?! The thought of children screaming in distress because of an error on the TV is just heartbreaking. 
As a parent myself, it's absolutely unacceptable that something like this would put those little ones through that. DFDS needs to seriously review their systems and processes to prevent such incidents in the future. 
Safety first! 
. I mean, what were they thinking?! 
DFDS should be ashamed of themselves for making that mistake. And can you even imagine how traumatized those poor kids must have been? 
The whole thing just makes me shudder, you know? 
And the fact that they thought nothing of it until someone pointed out what was happening is just... wow. DFDS should really brush up on their quality control. I mean, we've all been there where we're just trying to relax and enjoy a show, but this is like a whole different level. Anyway, glad they apologized and took steps to make sure it doesn't happen again 
, it's like dfds needs to get their act together or something 
, the question is, what kind of training are these crew members getting if they don't even know that adult content isn't for kids 
A Danish ferry operator can't even get a simple TV channel right? And what's with the Formula One programming in the first place? Like, who thought that was a good idea to broadcast adult content on a family-friendly channel? 
The kids were literally screaming... I feel bad for them, but at the same time, it's kinda hilarious that DFDS didn't realize what they were doing. I guess you could say they got a face full of embarrassment 
it was so adorbs!! anyway back 2 this ferry incident, i mean what's up with these companies? cant they even get their tv channels straight? i feel bad for the kids who got exposed to that stuff, poor little guys 
i wonder if they'll be okay... and btw has anyone else seen that cat video? it was seriously hilarious 
. DFDS needs to step up their game and make sure this doesn't happen again. 
. gotta say tho, at least they apologized and took down the wrong content ASAP 
... still would've been nice if they offered some free therapy sessions for all the traumatized kiddos 
... just saying 
. I mean, who lets adult content on a family ferry service? It's just crazy how easily mistakes can happen in today's world 
. Back in my day, we didn't even have to worry about that kind of thing. We were lucky if our favorite TV shows weren't interrupted by a test signal 
. Now it's all about fancy graphics and super-expensive cars 
. Anyway, DFDS should really take a page from history and double-check their channels before broadcasting anything 
.
. The fact that the crew didn't even realize what they were broadcasting is just laughable 
. They need to be more careful and double-check the programming before going live 
. The ferry company needs to do a better job of vetting their programming and making sure they're not causing distress to innocent passengers 
, but at the same time, you've got to wonder how this kind of thing even happens in the first place
