https://t.co/xE9yDxIa1o This was very difficult watching...not long after this happened I was on my first hitch in the North Sea on a rig that was drilling a relief well for Occidental Oil - the remains of the Piper were visible #piperalpha #RestInPeace
bbc.co.uk
Told through the testimony of rig workers and their families back home, this is the minute-by-minute story of how the 1980s oil boom turned to disaster when Piper Alpha exploded.
