Puisqu’on en parle en direct avec @cdb_77 ce soir, j’avais envie d’avoir sa photo. Regardez cette photo : Arne Rinnan et une partie de son équipage, c’est l’honneur de l’humanité. Ce sont nos héros.

Captain Arne Rinnan and the crew and owners of the Norwegian container ship, MV Tampa, for demonstrating courage and a unique degree of commitment to refugee protection. Capt. Rinnan was in charge of the Tampa when it rescued 438 boat people in the Indian Ocean on August 26, 2001. Despite the risk of substantial delays and a large financial loss to the company, the huge container ship - unsuitable to carry a large number of passengers - altered its course to rescue the asylum-seekers.

Une grande partie des « réfugiés du Tampa » sont aujourd’hui en Nouvelle-Zélande.

SPECIAL REPORT: In a rare interview, Arne Rinnan, the Norwegian captain of the Tampa, remembers his bitter frustration when the Australian government forbade him from bringing the 400 rescued asylum seekers to the mainland.

The phone rings in Arne Rinnan’s home, and the voice that answers it is like a quiet echo from a time long past.
Arne Rinnan’s calm, measured responses to the media in the aftermath of the Tampa affair became, in a sense, the wallpaper of the whole saga. And now, the voice is unchanged, only perhaps even a little more resistant to being pulled backinto the limelight than it already was then.
But after several minutes, the Tampa captain allows himself to reflect just a little.
This is what a refugee wrote to him: “Last night, our family prayed for you together, you old sailor from Norway, our rescuer. We remember those fatal hours, when our little wooden boat was shivering in the wind. You are a noble Viking with wisdom and humanity. My youngest son wants to put up a picture of you in his room, and my wife kisses your hands in gratitude".
