| 摘要： | More than 100,000 people live streamed planes landing in gale force winds in London on 18 February. I was one of them. While I was fascinated by the sheer force aircrafts endured, and the expertise shown by the pilots, two incidents that also took place on that day involving another form of transport closer to home caught my attention. Earlier, Boskalis was called to provide emergency response assistance for two ships that had caught fire - car carrier Felicity Ace near the Azores and Grimaldi-operated Euroferry Olympia near the Greek island of Corfu. These incidents also caught the public's interest, mainly due to the precious cargo of the car carrier including Bentleys, Audis, and Porsches. However, under different circumstances, many of these incidents happen out at sea where there are no lives-treams and ongoing media coverage. That said, some ports such as Amsterdam, Miami, or Helsinki offer livestreams of operations in port to show off the skills of pilots - another beloved procrastination pastime of mine is to watch compilations of harrowing pilot transfers - as well as tug operators navigate to put ships in place. I would therefore argue that visibility creates accountability. Hence, these incidents caught my attention for another reason. |
