It's dawn.
Wu Chao and the others had left before dawn, leaving Nie Cai alone here.
Nie Cai didn't care, but started to get even busier.
Being in the center of such explosive news, it can be said that any place on the ship is a news point, and a lot of news can be unearthed.
After a long night, after learning that the cruise ship was temporarily safe, the passengers who almost rioted on the ship finally calmed down.
Some of them were particularly agitated and wanted to cause trouble, but they finally calmed down after the crew's persuasion.
Fortunately, because 004 arrested Nie Cai, the entire ship was put on alert and passengers were not allowed to go out. Therefore, when the collision occurred, in addition to a few passengers who failed to stand still and were injured, a few unlucky people were trampled by the crowd. Apart from the injuries, no other passengers died.
After learning about this situation, Nie Cai immediately made a new round of connections to report the exciting news, but this time the cameraman became Tom.
"Where I am standing now is on the deck of the cruise ship. Now you can see that the passengers on the ship have put on life jackets and are waiting for the rescue of the nearest freighter Yuanwang. It is understood that the freighter Yuanwang is traveling More than 70 nautical miles away, I received the distress signal from the cruise ship and rushed over as soon as possible, showing a humanitarian spirit and preparing to carry the passengers on the ship."
"According to the statistics of the staff on the ship, no one was killed when the cruise ship hit the rocks. Only a dozen people were injured. At present, all the injured have been picked up by the coast guard department of country F for treatment..."
"The coast guard of Country F has arrived at the scene to take command and maintain order. The captain and first mate are related to the hijacking incident and have been controlled by the police of Country F."
The Yuanwang freighter happened to be sailing in the sea area where the accident occurred. In fact, it was not far from the cruise ship. However, the crew of the freighter on duty was lazy and fell asleep in the communication room. When he got up to pee, he received the VHF communication asking for help. Came over quickly.
Although things had some twists and turns, in any case, more than 4,000 passengers on the ship were finally rescued.
At this time, helicopters from Europe appeared above Nie Cai's head, both military and civilian.
A helicopter landed on the helipad on the top of the cruise ship, with a conspicuous BBC logo on it. It was the interview helicopter of the Eagle Country Broadcasting Company.
Relying on the first-come-first-serve relationship, the BBC followed the law enforcement officers to the scene of the sinking of the cruise ship and became the second TV station to participate in the report.
As for the first TV station... Needless to say, it was China Central Television where Nie Cai worked.
A beautiful woman wearing a white suit and long blond hair stepped out of the helicopter, followed by a cameraman carrying a large camera.
The cameraman started busy taking pictures as soon as he got off the plane, but this beautiful woman looked at Nie Cai live broadcasting on a mobile phone on the deck with a strange look on her face.
When Nie Cai's live broadcast ended, she finally came over and said, "Hello, are you Mr. Nie from CCTV?"
"It's me, you?"
Nie Cai scratched his head. He was soaked in sea water last night. Now his hair was messy and there were even white grains of salt on his body.
Fortunately, the pixels of the mobile phone are low, and the clarity transmitted back to the central station would have to be further compromised, otherwise his image would be greatly compromised.
"I am Billie, a reporter from the BBC TV station in Eagle Country. You may not know me... but last night, reporters from TV stations around the world probably knew you."
Billie said with a complicated expression.
Last night, she received the news that the cruise ship had sunk, so she changed her clothes, grabbed her makeup bag, and took a helicopter from land in the early hours of the morning.
I thought I could be the first reporter to rush to the scene and report this major news, making the BBC the focus of global attention.
But what she didn't expect was that not long after her plane took off, she heard the news that Nie Cai was live broadcasting the news.
How could it be such a coincidence
When the accident happened, there was actually a world-class media reporter on the cruise ship, and he happened to be carrying satellite live broadcast equipment
This coincidence almost made her wonder if Nie Cai caused such an accident on purpose just to report this explosive news!
Of course, just think about this kind of thing. Sinking a luxury cruise ship is too sensational, and it is impossible for any reporter to dare to do it.
"Are you so famous?"
Nie Cai touched his nose sheepishly and said.
He had previously guessed that the TV station from Country F should be the first to arrive, but he didn't expect that the BBC TV station from Eagle Country, which was further away, took the lead. It was indeed the TV station with the highest combat effectiveness in Europe.
"I had already paid attention to you when you reported the time of the hijacking, but I didn't expect that you would appear on the world stage for the second time, less than ten days later..."
Billie looked strange, sighed, and said.
What she couldn't accept the most was that Nie Cai had actually reported on the hijacking that took place in the capital of China. It was probably the second time that he had been on the scene of such world-shaking news.
The first time I was at the scene of a hijacked plane, I could only say it was luck, but what about this time the cruise ship ran aground
It can't be such a coincidence that I happen to be on vacation on this ship!
The Mediterranean Sea is so far away from the capital of China. Nie Cai came all the way here and happened to come across a piece of news that shocked the world... What's going on
I don’t know whether to say that his luck is good, or that his luck is really bad
"Haha... I'm so unlucky. Let's not talk about this. Can I borrow your satellite communication equipment for a while? I still have some materials on hand that I want to send back... "
Nie Cai laughed, quickly interrupted, and said.
This colleague seemed a little envious, but Nie Cai still shamelessly borrowed a device from her.
After all, a mobile phone is a mobile phone, and it is definitely not as easy to use as professional equipment. He used Robert's camera to take a lot of footage. At this time, he could borrow the other party's professional equipment to send it back.
Billie nodded and agreed. Anyway, in terms of timeliness, she would definitely not be able to compete with CCTV. She could only make a difference in the depth of the report.
"Thank you... Let me introduce you to someone. This is crew member Tom. He is familiar with the situation of this ship. You can ask him to take you around and take pictures."
Nie Cai nodded and thanked him sincerely.
Although this young man Tom has no ability, he is very loyal. Letting him show his face in front of the European people at this time can be regarded as my gratitude to him.
