The Sapphire is in an unprecedented predicament. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Sapphire was 150 meters long, 20 meters wide, and was powered by two engines totaling 12,000 horsepower.

One of the fuel engines suffered a major failure, causing a loss of power to the left propeller.

If the wind is calm, the Sapphire can still run at full power with another fuel engine and slowly return to port with itself.

But now the oncoming waves were higher than its waterline, and the Sapphire, which was facing the wind and waves, could only spin in place with all its might.

This is the RB Trench area, even though it is only sixty-seven nautical miles from the port, and the water below the sapphire is more than two thousand meters deep, and its anchor is several hundred meters long, and it can only look at the deep water and weep.

"This is the dispatch center, please stabilize your direction, try not to meet the waves with the hull of the boat, we will do our best to send rescue forces. ”

"Damn, you guys send a rescue team right away. Brady, the captain of the Sapphire, yelled loudly.

The helmsman on the side was already tired and about to collapse. The half-man-tall rudder was turned into a windmill by him, trying to keep the bow of the ship facing the waves.

In the luxurious rooms of the cabin, there was already a scream.

The tourists here are all upper-class people who live in the shadows of their clothes and temples all day long, and they have experienced this kind of bumps?

"Son, I'm in the RB Sea right now, and the Sapphire I'm flying on has had stormy weather, and now it seems to be malfunctioning and has been spinning in place. If something happens to me, please take care of your mother, and please be strong and don't be sad about my departure. ”

"Honey, are you there? I'm on the Sapphire right now, and if you've heard the message and I'm not contacting you any further, chances are something has happened to me. My account password is my birthday, and I have accounts in Citigroup, Morgan, and Wells Fargo banks. In addition, he also has a stock account in Ruitong, and the money in it is ...... Well~ there are a lot of them anyway. Remember the Apple stock inside, and I won't sell until one hundred and fifty, otherwise I won't be happy in heaven. ”

"Daddy~ Calis and I were on the Sapphire, and we had a torrential rain and strong winds. I was so scared, now the cruise ship is also broken, I don't want to die. Daddy, you asked Uncle Rakley, General Rakley, in Guam, to send a helicopter to save me. ”

The Sapphire is equipped with the latest satellite and radio communication systems, and there are telephones in every room. While communication is still unimpeded, almost all passengers have started calling home.

Everyone's mood is very desperate, and tourists can see the huge waves outside through the porthole, raging the Sapphire.

The Sapphire in the waves, like a rag doll on an air bed, is tossed around.

The crew's report, and the tourists' phone calls were transmitted back to the United States, and the families exploded at once.

Their relatives are in the waves, and there is a possibility that the boat will capsize at any time?

This kind of thing is going to collapse on anyone, and they immediately use their connections. Pressure the media, the government, and the Royal Galle Cruise Lines to come up with a rescue plan now, immediately, immediately.

Dozens of minutes later, the whole country shook.

Mr. President immediately stopped what he was doing and called a press conference for White House correspondents.

The president of the Royal Galle Cruise Group quickly flew to RB on a charter flight and major news websites to promote the news with his greatest power.

[100,000 urgent~ More than 200 tourists are trapped in the RB sea area, and their lives are in danger at any time. 】

[The Sapphire cruise ship, one of the world's top ten luxuries, was trapped in the RB sea area by a storm and may sink at any time. 】

[SOS, who will save the Sapphire.] 】

The media collectively blew up the nest, and even netizens across the country followed suit. Today, in the 21st century, in today's science and technology so developed. How could this happen, allowing everyone to watch a luxury cruise ship carrying more than 200 tourists sink at any time in front of the eyes of the people of the whole country?

In the rescue team urgently set up by the White House, the atmosphere suddenly suffocated with the list of crew members sent by the Royal Caribbean Group.

The crew consisted of one hundred and twenty people, and the passengers were two hundred and twenty-one. Among these passengers, there are retired senior lawyers, and there are retired company executives. There are the parents and wives of the Wall Street elite, and there are the families of congressmen.

It's no wonder that if the Sapphire cruise ship is calculated by volume, it can be called luxurious to carry thousands of people. Now the whole cruise ship only serves more than 200 people, and the accommodation is also a luxurious room comparable to the presidential suite, and ordinary people really can't afford to buy its tickets.

Half an hour later, the news spread around the world.

European countries and major news websites in China have reported this shocking headline.

"Shocked~RB because of a serious weather forecast error, resulting in a cruise ship in the United States is in deep trouble. ”

"Breaking major news, the RB meteorological department has caused a shocking disaster. ”

"Luxury cruise ships turn into life cruises, let's pray for the Sapphire. ”

However, when the media around the world heard the news, they rushed to send photographers and reporters to Miyanoura Island, the closest island in the sea area where the Sapphire is located. The RB media and the government are silent.

Even......

Even the dispatch center of Miyanoura-Yue Island has become silent.

Under the frantic questioning of the United States, and under the anger of the major media and the public, the RB Coast Guard squeezed out a piece of news in a hurry.

-- They are trying to rescue by all means, but the storm is getting stronger and stronger in the sea area where the Sapphire is located, and it is impossible for the helicopter to fly over and transfer the passengers. Ordinary ships can't get close to the Sapphire at all in this situation. Because both ships are jolting in the waves, the closer they get, the more likely they are to collide.

But......

They have mobilized five high-speed speedboats, and the crew risked their lives to go to the area where the incident occurred. Not surprisingly, in twenty minutes, the first high-speed speedboats will arrive.

At the same time, the U.S. Meteorological Department has also collected the latest local meteorological data through satellites.

The data shows that a cloud of heavy rain is gathering in the sky above that area. At the same time, due to the high temperature of the previous week, the water temperature rose, and the sea water evaporated a large proportion, causing the air flow to rise, forming a tropical storm.

Now the local wind has reached 9.5, and it seems to be getting stronger and stronger, and when it rises to 10, it is a typhoon.

Twenty minutes later, five speedboats that had sailed rapidly through one huge wave after another finally arrived. At the strong request of the United States, the Security Agency had to send back the scene to take real-time footage.

When the major media in the United States received the real-time live footage, countless people covered their lips and could not breathe.

All the landscaping facilities and buildings on the sapphire deck had been completely destroyed by the waves, and it had lost half of its power, and it was struggling to turn its course again and again, trying to use the bow of the ship against the crashing waves.

The family members saw the live footage on the news, and their hearts were so painful that they almost fainted.

However, in the face of nature's roar, the power of human industrial science and technology has become extremely small.

After checking the location of that sea area on the Internet, many people asked the US military base in Guam, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away, to dispatch rescue planes.

In their impression, the U.S. Air Force is simply omnipotent, fighting the world, fighting aliens, and fighting monsters.

This time, however, Guam Air Force Base behaved even worse than RB. From beginning to end, there is only one sentence: we will dispatch the plane as soon as the local weather conditions allow.

The five speedboats cruising at the scene were only in a stalemate for half an hour, and three of them could no longer hold on and had to turn around and return. Because they had to keep moving at high speed, to crash into the waves again and again, and they didn't even dare to approach the Sapphire.

At 2:08 p.m., the White House press secretary issued the most anxious plea for help to the media around the world.

"On behalf of the U.S. government, I would like to send my most sincere call for help to the countries near the sea where the sapphire is located. ”

"No matter what official, any organization, any company, as long as you have the ability, please save the Sapphire. ”

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
