Op 3 Maart 1974 gebeurde er een ongeluk aan boord van de Mi Amigo waarbij bemanningsleden gewond raakten. Peter Chicago onderbeekt live het programma om assistentie van de wal te vragen. Echt een stukje radio geschiedenis.

Met de reddingsboot Bernard van Leer, werden de gewonden Jaap de Haan en Peter van Dijken, naar een ziekenhuis in Den Haag gebracht.

Na een paar dagen in het Rode Kruis Ziekenhuis te hebben gelegen mochten ze (weer) naar huis.

 

 

"A dramatic incident occurred in the early hours of March 3rd, which once more involved Peter Chicago. The time was approaching 05.00 GMT, and he was coming towards the end of his three-hour programme, when a fire broke out in part of the ship's heating system injuring the two crew members who had been working on it.

 

Both were quite badly burned and in need of medical attention. Chicago made an immediate announcement over the air telling listeners exactly what had happened and asking them to pass on his message to a telephone number in the Hook of Holland; he repeated this several times, and thinking that no action was being taken by those on land gave out a second telephone number which was in Leidschendam.

 

Then at 05.37 GMT he announced that they were in contact with the shore and that there was no need to continue phoning the two numbers he had given out. Upwards of 80 people took the trouble to ring the Hook of Holland number and over 60 phoned up the one in Leidschendam. Nearly all of them calling from Britain.

 

Listeners were pleased to learn that within a week both the injured men, Jaap de Haan and Peter van Dyken had recovered sufficiently to return to their duties aboard the radio-ship."
