| 摘要： | In August, Cincinnati hosted a major Red Bull Flugtag event on its riverfront. The event attracted more than 30,000 people to an already busy Ohio River and riverfront, where participants flew off a ramp into the river in a variety of "handcrafted flying machines." A gallery of recreational boats, kayaks and rafts were scattered around the river and cheered for the flyers as each jettisoned down the ramp. While all of this sounds generally benign and fun, a great deal of work and planning was required behind the scenes to avert potential marine casualties. After all, the Ohio River is an active federal waterway with passenger vessels, tug and towboats, and recreational vessel traffic. Add a marine event of this size and the possibilities for marine accidents are endless. Unfortunately, there have been some serious problems in the past on other waterways where these types of events got out of hand and recreational vessels and other craft literally blocked the passage of commercial vessels, putting passengers and crew in unsafe situations. These conditions were unfortunately caused by a breakdown in the Coast Guard's event permitting process and poor overall communications with and between waterways users. |
