Chapter 1176: "The Shipwreck"
It's not early. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that everyone in the villa gets up late, and there is a thick fog outside, so it seems a little late, in fact, it's already 9 o'clock, and there should be only Zheng Yan'er who is about to get up in the villa.
Park Ji-hoon received a call from the president of N.E.W.
Just yesterday, 325 sophomores from Ansan Danwon High School, led by their teachers, boarded the Sewol passenger ship for a spring trip to Jeju Island.
The father of one of the students was an employee of N.E.W.
Not long ago, at 8:57 to be exact, the employee who was at work suddenly received a call from his son. "The ship is sinking", "I look like I'm dying here", "I'm so scared"...... The son's voice was full of panic and fear, and there was a frightened shout of a student next to him on the phone, which didn't look like a joke.
Li Zhengwan, the employee's name, immediately called the coast guard.
However, I still can't rest assured, let alone go to work, I'm so anxious that I can't even stay for a moment!
In a desperate situation, even a straw will be clung to! In a panic, Li Zhengwan went directly to the president's office and asked the group for help.
Even though he had asked the coast guard for help, he was not sure how efficient the coast guard was, and with so many people on a ship, he didn't know if the opportunity would be his son's turn.
People are selfish.
N.E.W has four helicopters, and Park Ji-hoon, as the president, has a wide network of contacts in all walks of life, and he must have a much greater chance than himself!
So, there is this call.
Since Park Ji-hoon became the owner of N.E.W., he has effectively implemented the management concept of "people-oriented". "The king regards his ministers as his siblings, and the ministers regard the king as his heart", Mencius's sentence has been well verified in N.E.W.
President Kim Woo-taek was not perfunctory because of Lee Jung-wan's position and the uncertainty of the news, and called Park Ji-hoon as soon as possible.
At the same time, it is also out of its own considerations.
Today, N.E.W is more than just a film and television company, and the streaming video site created on the model of FLIX is extremely successful. However, unlike Flix, N.E.W is not as "serious" as Flix, in addition to film and television works, it also has its own variety shows, news and current affairs, etc., which are very wide.
Even, N.E.W has its own correspondent department.
As early as after getting the news, the press department mobilized, and the secretary used his mobile phone to shoot and record the call between Kim Woo-taek and Park Ji-hoon.
Once the "shipwreck incident" occurs, it will certainly be a big storm that will shock the whole country, and there are too many contents worthy of attention, whether positive or negative.
This is a great opportunity for the ambitious N.E.W.
The scale of the incident is not yet confirmed, but it does not prevent N.E.W from being ready for battle, and Kim Woo-taek also trusts Park Ji-hoon's character and ability.
"Rescue comes first, human life is at stake. Sure enough, after hearing the news, Park Ji-hoon immediately canceled his plan to go to Jeju Island at noon today and sent all four helicopters out. If the incident develops in a good direction, everything will naturally be fine, and the propaganda of positive energy will be the mainstay; if the incident is developing in a bad direction, the rescue will be the mainstay.
I don't know the information about the "Sewol", but listening to Li Zhengwan's words, there are more than 300 high school students on it!
How can the capsizing of such a passenger ship not make people worry?
Not only Park Ji-hoon, but even Yori and Tiffany, who were making trouble, as well as Park Min-ah and Yoon Hee-jin, who heard the news, were all silent.
I didn't care about breakfast, so Park Ji-hoon went to the N.E.W group headquarters as soon as he finished the call.
You can get the news and make decisions the first time...... Whatever you do, it's better than staying at home. This is not a show, but a real worry about hundreds of lives! He is a person who is more self-conscious, but he has his own sense of social responsibility, his own moral standards, and he will blame himself for not doing what he has the ability and should do.
At this time, he thought about it very simply.
During the call, he took the initiative to tell Kim Youze that he could let Li Zhengwan follow. As a father, every minute of waiting is an ordeal.
The incident occurred in the sea near Kwunmei Island, Jeongnam-gun, and it was 9:40 a.m. when the N.E.W. helicopter arrived, and after communicating with the local coast guard and rescue department.
At this time, the first lifeboat of the coast guard had just arrived.
The incident was far more serious and worse than Park Ji-hoon imagined.
Because of the journalists, the n.e.w. helicopter was expelled, and at this moment anyone can see that this is a serious accident!
Park Ji-hoon made a decision as soon as possible, all reporters got off the plane, and the helicopter obeyed the arrangements of the coast guard to participate in the rescue work.
However, the reporter did not sit idle, but actively participated in the rescue work, comforting and guiding the survivors, and at the same time collecting evidence from various sources to restore what happened.
"The Sewol is a passenger and cargo ship with 325 students, 108 ordinary passengers, 14 teachers and 29 crew members on board. In addition to these 476 people, there were also 1,157-ton containers and more than 180 cars and trucks under the cabin ......"
"On April 16, at 8:45 a.m., the passenger ship entered the Mongu Waterway in the sea in front of Jeonnamjindo, where the current is turbulent, the passage is narrow, and the ship is curved, and the ship should have been personally directed by an experienced captain and navigator. However, the 25-year-old third-class navigator Park, who had less than one year of sailing experience, had just been transferred to the route from Incheon to Jeju Island a few months ago, and this was the first time she had sailed through the Mongu waterway......"
"At 8:48, the passenger liner suddenly began to tilt and then lost control. ”
Kim Min-kyung, who was in the cafeteria, immediately felt the tilt of the ship's hull, and the tableware on the table fell to the ground with a clatter. The students in the cafeteria were in a state of confusion, calling out to their teachers and asking each other, 'Why is the ship like this, is it sinking?' At this time, announcements were being broadcast on the radio, such as "Passengers, please do not run around, it is dangerous, do not come out, please be patient and wait for rescue." ”
At 8:55 a.m. (seven minutes after the hull tilted), the Sewol officially signaled for rescue. ”
"At 9:07, the passenger ship sent a rescue request to the Jindo Maritime Traffic Control Center (VTS), which then asked it to take rescue measures against the passengers. ”
"At 9:23, the Jindo VTS ordered 'Don't hesitate any longer, let the passengers put on life jackets, evacuate urgently, and act quickly'. However, the Sewol only asked 'can we provide immediate rescue if we evacuate now?' and 'Is the lifeboat coming?' without mentioning the evacuation of passengers. ”
......
N.E.W's report has attracted the attention of the whole society, but it has also caused an uproar.
It's very bad!
In particular, after the captain of the Sewol, Lee Jun-seok, and the crew changed into civilian clothes as soon as possible, did not bother to open the life raft next to them, and hid their identities and boarded the lifeboat that arrived first to escape the scene, it caused countless indignation.
It wasn't until 11:16 a.m., when the first lifeboat arrived at Pyongmu Port on Jeonnamjindo, that Captain Lee Jun-seok got off the boat wrapped in a blanket and was about to be taken to the hospital with the other rescued people, that he was pointed out by a rescuer!
Prompt, accurate, and detailed reporting makes N.E.W the only trusted way to get the right to know.
The reporters recruited by Park Ji-hoon from the Boston Globe played a good guiding role, especially the reporters who were involved in covering the "Boston bombing" in 2013.
Unsurprisingly, the government's warnings followed. (To be continued.) )
