Triste despedida
É impactante ver o “continente branco” surgir diante de nossa vista, quando o avião inicia o processo de aterrissagem na Antártida. Nessa época do ano, do “verão” antártico, nem toda a terra está coberta por neve. Ainda assim, o gelo predomina. Com o sol fortíssimo nessa região, os olhos sentem. E óculos escuros são mais do que recomendáveis.
Infelizmente estive ali por um triste motivo. Na madrugada do último sábado, a base militar brasileira Comandante Ferraz foi praticamente destruída por um incêndio, que começou num dos geradores de energia. Estavam nela militares da marinha, técnicos e servidores, e cientistas de diversas áreas, que passam alguns meses por ano lá para fazer pesquisas.
De acordo com os relatos, o fogo começou no início da madrugada, ainda sem razões esclarecidas. Enquanto muitos dormiam, alguns conversavam num centro de convivência, e um grupo saiu para observar o céu do lado de fora. Foi quando percebeu-se o fogo. Os militares rapidamente isolaram os civis e tentaram conter o incêndio, que só aumentava devido ao vento. A situação foi ficando desesperadora. A água das mangueiras congelava antes mesmo de respingar para fora. Um dos oficiais chegou a entrou no mar ultragelado para tentar bombear água dali. Teve um princípio de hipotermia.
Dois deles tentaram fechar uma válvula de um gerador para que a situação não se agravasse, mas desorientaram-se por causa da fumaça e se perderam. Foram as vítimas fatais da tragédia.
O restante foi socorrido pelas equipes de outras bases, principalmente da polonesa e da chilena, e levados para a base Eduardo Frei. Dali, parte foi transportada para Punta Arenas, e depois para o Rio de Janeiro.
Permaneceram em Frei, a base chilena, doze oficiais da Marinha. Foi esse o grupo que encontrei, dois dias depois da tragédia, quando aterrissei com o Hércules da Força Aérea Brasileira.
São homens grandes, fortes, com ares de experimentados. Suas expressões faciais, porém, mostravam um desconcerto e uma tristeza muito grandes. Muitos tinham lágrimas nos olhos, inclusive o capitão, Fernando Coimbra, que respondeu às perguntas dos jornalistas que estavam ali.
Na cerimônia de embarque dos corpos, carregaram os caixões cobertos pela bandeira brasileira ao longo da pista gelada para dentro do avião.
Despediram-se com um grito de “adeus, amigos”, e voltaram para a base. No dia seguinte, sua missão continuaria, com o retorno à base abandonada para resgatar o que ainda fosse possível e começar a investigar as causas do incêndio e da morte dos dois colegas.
Nosso voo de volta de Eduardo Frei a Punta Arenas foi mais silencioso, militares, jornalistas e diplomatas mantinham ar mais circunspecto. Ao nosso lado, viajavam os dois caixões com os restos dos heróis que tentaram conter a tragédia.
O “continente branco” ia ficando para trás pela janela do Hércules, junto com as tantas perguntas sem resposta sobre as razões desse desastre.

Interesting article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last decade, the travel industry has had to take on terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and also the first ever entire global tough economy. Through all this the industry has proven to be effective, resilient and dynamic, finding new approaches to deal with hardship. There are usually fresh difficulties and the opportunity to which the market must yet again adapt and react.

I appreciate you sharing this blog article.Thanks Again. Really Great.
One thing I’d prefer to say is that car insurance cancellation is a terrifying experience and if you’re doing the proper things as being a driver you simply will not get one. Lots of people do obtain the notice that they are officially dumped by the insurance company they have to struggle to get supplemental insurance after having a cancellation. Low cost auto insurance rates tend to be hard to get from cancellation. Knowing the main reasons pertaining to auto insurance cancellation can help drivers prevent burning off one of the most significant privileges out there. Thanks for the thoughts shared through your blog.

Hi! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?

Great article. It is very unfortunate that over the last several years, the travel industry has had to tackle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, bird flu virus, swine flu, and the first ever real global recession. Through everthing the industry has really proven to be sturdy, resilient in addition to dynamic, locating new solutions to deal with adversity. There are continually fresh complications and possibilities to which the business must again adapt and answer.Thanks for discussing your ideas. I’d also like to say that video games have been actually evolving. Technology advances and innovative developments have made it simpler to create practical and fun games. All these entertainment games were not that sensible when the concept was first of all being tried. Just like other styles of technological know-how, video games as well have had to advance as a result of many many years. This is testimony on the fast progression of video games.
