When we are traveling by road on a
highway, we keep all the windows and doors of our vehicle shut tightly.
Why do we do so? Is it because the AC is turned on? Or is it simply our
instincts that tell us to keep them shut tightly? The answer can be more
relevant to the latter, but it would not be wrong to say that the
actual reason can be a mixture of the two as well.
When the air conditioning is turned on, opening the window would lose all the cooling and the atmosphere would turn extremely hot inside the vehicle. In case you have not turned on the air conditioning in the vehicle because the climate is too tempting, you cannot gather speed more than the ordinary because the gust of the wind will blow away everything you have inside. Even the tiniest crack can create the most annoying whistle which indicates the window is not completely shut.
This is something we are all too aware of because at some point of our life (usually childhood), we have tried to keep the window of the vehicle open while rushing at unusual speeds. The outside air can damage everything inside and if the pressure of the air entering is too much, more than the vehicle’s body can handle (in case of airplanes where air pressure increases too much it can harm the body), everything blows up in an instant ending everything in tatters.
Consider the scenario where a giant transport ship, filled with goods worth millions of dollars and also laden with a hundred containers is rushing through the Atlantic Ocean. The breeze of the ocean is rarely calm; it is powerful enough to push the heaviest weight in the direction it pleases. What would happen if the hatch covers are leaking? Or are not tightly shut? What if the tightness of hatch with ultrasound has never been checked before letting the ship sail towards its destination hundreds of miles away?
The answer is too predictable, the goods would be eventually destroyed and the consequences would have to be beard by the company owning the transport ship. It would be responsible to pay for all the damages that have incurred to the goods on board and also questioned for showing negligence towards the hatch cover ultrasonic tightness testing. Running the test before commencing the voyage would have certainly saved the company from such a distressful plight at the end of the voyage.
