Indeed - and let's not forget that these are the ones that successfully landed somewhere - many many others will have landed in the sea, or otherwise died before they could reach a suitable spot.
The ones that landed here hadn't aimed for or planned to find the rig, they were just in the same physical location and found a space to land.

- andai 1y agoA few years ago in the Mediterranean I observed what initially seemed like an oil spill. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be millions of tiny dead insects. I guess sometimes they do land in the sea? At the time, I tried to find information about it online, and all I found was an article about it happening on the other side of the Atlantic several years earlier.
