Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative delves into the 1982 sinking of the Ocean Ranger oil rig, a tragedy that claimed the lives of 84 crew members, including the author's brother. It examines how the disaster was overshadowed by a narrative of extreme weather, transforming into a story of corporate indifference. The book critiques the sociopolitical aftermath, highlighting the interplay of power and money that reshaped public perception into a "lesson learned." It also serves as a guide for understanding disaster responses and advocates for stronger government regulation of industries.
