Piper Alpha – Spiral to disaster

[Ullevi]

Hi there,

Does anyone know where I can download this?

I see it’s been removed from Youtube.

Thanks

[John Bridgett]

I’m looking for that too, I saw it yesterday on a MIST course and would like to watch it again. I have found a few listings of it from a google search but I’m not at home at the moment and at 3G speeds it will be too slow.

It’s on here; poignant and unfortunately always relevant.

I’m not sure you’ll be able to download the entire video for free anywhere. It seems to be touted as a training aid at a cost… I noted GBP175.00 for example.

It’s a shame that something that should be freely available, as a public service, has to be bought and paid for and is only (in general) shown to those working in the industry but pretty much hidden from the public at large.

Yeah it’s very moving watching it.

The video and images that were taken on the night are awful. Must have been terrifying.

Something I learned from it was that there were even crew, from a stand by boat, killed in an FRC trying to rescue people who had jumped.

Horrific.

Well that lasted all of 30 seconds before it was blocked for BBC content! Trying again on another provider.

Hopefully these will work well enough.

Managed to find a copy. Had to save a stream and split it to upload so its not perfect. Hopefully itll last a while on youtube.
