Crossing the Road
During the training we talked about the Hibernia tragedy . Definitely a lot of dangers traveling to and working offshore. So glad I only go offshore occasionally.I bet it’s not pleasant when it rollsI am surprised they only suggest doing this every 4 yrs though. It’s the same here.
Not sure if I should tell you this but we had a tragic helicopter on ocean crash back in 2009, on route to the Sea Rose a platform ship in the Hybernia oil fields off Newfoundland. Only one survivor.
My cousin. Robert was already out on Sea Rose and was supposed to be returning on that chopper, and when we heard it went down and only one survivor named Robert, well you can understand that we were all freaking out here.
The media was giving conflicting reports but finally our Robby was able to contact his parents and let us know it wasn’t him. Robby and the rest of the returning crews had to take a 16hr ferry ride back to St Johns, as opposed to a 90 min chopper ride. Robby never did go back out to the platforms again after that, even though I reminded him for over 30 yrs there had never been an incident.

I am not sure if the crew on the chopper initially survived the ocean impact, but that survival training is likely what saved Robert Deckers life. I am glad you platform workers have to do this training

Where’s Marty? Is she laying an egg? It freaks me out when they get down onto the floor at night
