Sad news

 

[sturmer]

yeah indeed, can you imagine. after a few weeks work on that rig, being relieved to go home again to your family and then that crash. i think on that moment you just would have wished to never left the rig at all

 

[Wurger]

Yep.... very sad news.

 

[RabidAlien]

Wow. Bad news, indeed. And to have to ditch in the North Sea? NOT a very friendly place to go down, from what I understand.

 

[sturmer]

nope very bad seas, its so bad that at the beach overhere it isnt allowed to swim because ot the dangerous tides and underwater drafts.

Very sad to hear.

Damn, very sad news!

The North Sea area can be very dangerous. I hate the fact that my wife is out on a boat out there every day for the last month.

The North Sea can be very dangerous but they are all trained and kitted out for situations like this (they have to be by law in the UK). Still very sad to hear it happen.

Makes me sad indeed! A guy in my ex's family is an oilrig worker out there, I hope not that he's one of them...
