Re: The most dangerous maritime jobs
Interesting article John. Those on this site who have been involved in the offshore oil industry know how dangerous it can be. The article is mainly for the USA but it has been ongoing all over. My mind is a bit fuzzy these days but this brings some incidents back. North sea ALEXANDER KIELLAND 1980, 123 men lost when rig sank. Grand Banks Newfoundland 1982, OCEAN RANGER sank with total loss of all 84 personnel. North Sea 1988 the PIPER ALPHA 167 men lost. These ones make headlines but many other incidents occur and helicopters coming and going to installations have accounted for many lives.
