Piper Alpha - 20 Years

20 years since the world's worst offshore oil disaster.

167 men killed in the worst circumstances imaginable.

The resulting Cullen Report secured their legacy; a revolution in offshore safety culture and regulations.

A very sad anniversary indeed.

20 years? God I remember watching that on the news.

(Who's the peeper?)

mrs 79,s dad was an oilman in aberdeen at the time,,, shocked to the core for a long time,, very sad anniversary as noted..

still being used as a case study for lessons learnt, permit systems, and human factors in accident causes and effects training

Yes, i remember this.Summer of 88.

RIP
