Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Reflecting on Canada's worst sea disaster since World War II, this chronicle captures the 1982 sinking of the oil rig Ocean Ranger, which took the entire crew of 84 men--including the author's brother--down with it. The memory of this tragic event gradually faded into a sad story about a terrible storm, relegated to the 'Extreme Weather' section of the news archives. Resurrecting this disaster from the realm of history, this study maps the sociopolitical processes of its aftermath, when power, money, and collective hopes for the future transformed a story of corporate indifference and betrayal of public trust into a 'lesson learned' by a heroic industry. This book acts as a navigational resource for other disaster aftermaths--including that of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico--as well as a call for vigilant government regulation of industry in all its forms.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. On February 15, 1982, the oil rig Ocean Ranger sank off the coast of Newfoundland taking the entire crew of eighty-four men including the authors brother down with it. It was the worst sea disaster in Canada since the Second World War, but the memory of this event gradually faded into a sad story about a bad storm relegated to the Extreme Weather section of the CBC archives. Susan Dodd resurrects this disaster from the realm of history and maps the socio-political processes of its aftermath, when power, money and collective hopes for the future revised the story of corporate indifference and betrayal of public trust into a lesson learned by an heroic industry advancing technology in the face of a brutal environment. This book is a navigational resource for other disaster aftermaths, including that of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, and a call for vigilant government regulation of industry in all its forms.
