Maersk and BHC Crane, Death or “Crime on the Waterfront?
Maersk, keeping my word, little Dutch boy!
World witnessed ‘a Maersk-chartered container carrier named the Dali crashed into a bridge pillar…killing six construction workers.’ Did you read Random Lengths News, ‘Deaths on the Waterfront’? Bodies continue to surface:Chulaih Ang, Edgar Ruiz…
Maersk, as Norfolk, Boeing and Lockheed, World is finally watching you and BHC Crane!!
“Chulaih Ang, 64, an ILWU member died on Jan. 15 in an industrial accident causing blunt force traumatic injury at ITS Terminal in Long Beach.”
”Edgar Ruiz, 37, died in the hospital Jan. 18, from a blunt force trauma neck injury by a piece of equipment that fell from a crane. It is reported that Ruiz worked for a contractor, BHCcrane.”
What do trains and planes have in common with ships and cranes? Let me remind you:
→“Treacherous Railroad Monopolies: All Deaths and Derailments Lead to U.S. Presidents and Congress”
→,“Boeing, Chokehold On Mankind Come Full Circle?
→ LOCKHEED and Boeing, Failing and Falling Behind?
‘Guilty by Association’?
Boeing, how’s the last 5 years?. BHC Crane, hear you do business with Boe. Heard of countless reports of worker preventable deaths. Yet, Crane says, “BHC has not had a single work-related accident or illness…” Really? Bob and Frank, call it what you will, dead is dead. And on your watch.
Of course, it’s quite possible we confuse you with those whose primary focus is in the Medical Field. BHC, ‘Beating Heart Cadaver, a human body that, after having been declared brain-dead, is attached to a medical ventilator in order to preserve organs for organ …’?
Danes and Cranes, what shall be your penance? Dante’s ‘Second Circle of Hell’ or Geoffrey Chaucer’s ‘The Parliament of Fowls’?:
“But breakers of the law, he did explain,
And lecherous folk, after they are dead,
Shall whirl about the Earth ever in pain
Till many an age be past, and then indeed
Forgiven for their every wicked deed..”.
Matlock Decree: De Vliegende Hollander and De Hydraulic Crane, sail away, sail away…!
Dutchman, it is said that American companies are ‘too big to fail.’
- You’re not American
- Those that do not fail, get taken down!
Recall 1864 and 2017? Helmuth von Moltke and Russia, let’s remind them:
Denmark, need I remind you of your defeat at the hands of Helmuth von Moltke! Signing the with Organisation du traité de l’Atlantique nord, OTAN, does not nullify your signature in the Treaty of Vienna conceding defeat. Question is, will your vessels like your armies in the past retreat to an island?
Mae, remember NotPetya 🙂
“The Cat Must Be Killed or Belled.”
CEOs of Greed, the Ghosts of the fallen rise calling your names, one by one. Judgment day finds your one hand clinching workers’ wages whilst the other bears hidden blood of innocents slain.
The Guardian reported “In 2023, Occupational Safety and Health Administration ordered the Danish shipping conglomerate to revise its company policy and cease prohibiting employees from contacting regulators with concerns, after the company was found to retaliate against a worker.”
Danes, looks like six workers’ blood, as many others, is on your hands. I remind you of the wise words of the late vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Charles Thomas Munger, “Good businesses are ethical businesses. A business model that relies on trickery is doomed to fail.”
Greed and power are what make these engines run, at the cost of workers lives and public safety.
H. D. Lloyd, American Journalist’s words of March 1881 are powerful and prescient. Indeed, “The cat must be killed or belled.”
Maersk, ‘Flying Dutchman,’ ahoy Mate! Plank by Plank, Link by link, your worst days are NOT behind you! Dare look in your Mirror! “Is its pattern strange to you?”
