The Transocean drillship Deepwater Asgard got "caught" by Hurricane Zeta in 2020 while still attached to the well it was drilling. Didn't they see it coming? Yes, of course they did. The drillship's location was clearly within Zeta's predicted "cone of uncertainty" right from the start. In the spring 1982 the great punk philosophers and musicians The Clash asked the eternal question, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" Apparently the captain of the Deepwater Asgard thought the very same thing and wisely concluded that going was far better than staying. But it was not to be, because fools ashore decided otherwise and ordered the ship to remain on station and attached to the well. |
