If this piqued anyone's interest in oil/gas rigs, an engineering disasters podcast I like ("Well, there's your problem") covered a couple of North Sea rig catastrophes in detail that may interest you: - Piper Alpha: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVaMNHQQCs0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVaMNHQQCs0 - Byford Dolphin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azThd0R7Bt0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azThd0R7Bt0 Just as a quick content warning: engineering disasters involving loss of life are not exactly a jolly affair, but the Byford Dolphin ep has a few grisly details that make it unsuitable for the faint of heart. edit: Just thought I should clarify why this popped into my head because it might seem a little morbid otherwise. I'm from the North East of Scotland where there have been a few of these disasters that hit the headlines, and my dad and plenty of friends worked in oil. This meant I got a lot of exposure to this, so "oil rig" is connected with "disaster" in my head, and now decades later finding out why these things happened was fascinating.
