To think let's care less about oil prices, and more about the seafarers who are out there in a nightmare situation

Will increased fuel prices affect us all? Of course. But right now, oil and gas tankers are being manned by seafarers from all nations and being advised to drop anchor in the most dangerous situation we can imagine. Three strikes on tankers already. Let's take a moment to think about these brave civilians who are just doing their job, who keep our societies running, and whose families must be in such emotional distress. When this is done, lets thank our seafarers for everything they do for us.

I agree, but merchant seamen sail at their own risk - at least that's what I was told when I, briefly, became one.
