The Case of the Floating News Desk

Grand Cayman was hit hard by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. A three foot tidal surge washed over the entire island, leaving devastation throughout. Cayman Island Television was not spared; its transmitter tower was destroyed and the station’s News Desk was actually floating around the studio. We received a call in November after the insurance settlement had been reached - could we design, build, ship and install two sets in their shoe-box sized studio ASAP? We had to fit everything into a 10 X 20 shipping container. No phones and no hot water for the installation crew, but it was January in the Caribbean. Another adventure in Television.
