MH17

The oil patch is really a small community. If something happens anywhere in the world, there are only a few degrees of separation between yourself and persons involved in the incident. For example, the engineer I am sharing an office with here in Paris knew one of the victims on MH17. They had worked together and lived next door to each other in Malaysia.

If anything happens anywhere in the world there may only be one or two degrees of separation between you and the incident.
