20-Year Commemoration of Piper Alpha Fire
TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY, JULY 6, 1988, THE WORST-EVER FIRE on an offshore oil rig took place.
The Piper Alpha oil drilling platform was set up in the North Sea and operated by the Occidental Oil Co. The rig already had a reputation among the universe of oil rig workers of being excessively unsafe, ill-maintained, overcrowded and dangerous.
