Deep Sea Catastrophe is destined to become a textbook movie

First of all, I am an offshore petroleum engineer. The following content is the content I posted in the circle of friends after watching the movie. Due to the number of words, it can only be written in the form of film reviews. The content is not much. Please correct me.
The movie "Deep Sea Catastrophe" itself is not an ordinary disaster film, and it is estimated that it will not be understood without a certain background. So when I saw an audience who gave a star in the comments and said, "Except for the bright spot of the explosion special effect, the rest are just switching scenes constantly, there is no connection between them, and the plot is far-fetched", I didn't feel at all. Accident. Indeed, when the knife doesn't hit your body, you won't experience that kind of skin-cutting pain.
In addition to the controversy itself, I have to say that the director team has put a lot of effort into it. Although there are some flaws, it does not affect the depiction of many details. This depiction is very real, and even real makes people feel scared.
But having said that, if most of the early background introductions in the film are not exaggerated, there are still many problems in the management of BP and Transocean. I remember when I first started, Manager Wang of the Safety and Environmental Protection Department told us that danger is like a tiger. The best way to avoid danger is to put it in a cage. The various instruments on the platform, the combination of smoke and fire detection and combustible gas probes, coupled with all levels of shutdown, can largely control the danger. I won’t say too much about the specifics. In short, please rest assured that the management on the domestic platform is far stricter than that of foreigners, and you will not be too lazy in your work. If PM is done in time, it will reduce a lot of equipment damage, and it will also be damaged. Timely repair, no matter how bad it is, it will be replaced, it will not be full of failures like in the movie, and even the most basic secondary shutdown equipment will be broken.
