No maritime accident is insignificant
It's been very difficult for those of us who live in this area to watch the truth unfold over the oil spill from the Cosco Busan, which ran into the Bay Bridge last week. It's too late to prevent this particular incident, so the finger-pointing has begun on the part of politicians and others. What I hope comes from all this is a new effort to treat every maritime accident as an emergency until further investigation proves otherwise. I think we'd all much rather have a bit of overkill in the rescue and clean-up departments than watch one of the most beautiful coastal areas in the world suffer environmental damage for decades to come.
