I was working on the construction of the Piper Alpha replacement around 1990 and there 4 killed on that within 6 weeks, one had his head crushed just feet from where I was welding but thankfully I was away for a piss at the time and my foreman who was shaking like a leaf had covered him by the time I returned. I guess it's different watching on here and seeing it happen in front of your eyesWe had a few fatalities and many injuries while I lived on ship in the navy. A NASSCO employee was flattened by an A.C. unit during construction in San Diego and several crush injuries from ordnance during UNREPs in heavy seas. Death is always watching and waiting for someone to fuck up.
PEEEEEEEEENCH!!!Fatal accident occurred on May 10, 2014 at Gulf Stream Marine, in Houston, Texas. (USA). The load was a 305-metric ton oil rig blowout preventer and stand. Utilizing two shipboard cranes for this lift, the blowout preventer is lowered into the cargo hold of the ship, where the stand would be welded to the deck to secure it during transit.
A pin in the spreader bar came out of its housing, causing the wire rope to disengage and the load broke free while workers were below. The employee’s legs were severed below his knees. He reportedly survived the injury long enough to say goodbye to his wife.
Demonstrating the lack of safety at this particular facility, Gulf Stream Marine was fined $7,000 (USD).
