    The guy who said his feet were burning and pushed Mike off the rig survived as well, but for years he thought he’d killed him by pushing him off. It wasn’t until the 25 anniversary that they saw each other again.

    35 years on and we remember the 167 who perished on that tragic night.

    I had the good fortune of diving with one of the survivors, Keith Cunningham, who was the generator mechanic/master diver for the Lady Jenny 5 operating in the Red Sea.
    Excellent diver and a decent, kind man. Just learned today he passed in 2014. Sad that he’s gone but very happy to have known him.

    It's one and a half decade now that Bob passed away.

    Interesting seeing the men younger than they appear in the Fire in the Night. particularly Charles Haffey

    This was a horrific accident. I’m so sorry for the loss of life. The survivors are here for a reason. They are here to tell the story of the incident. To keep that story alive for generations to come. We must learn from our mistakes. God bless each every person involved in this.

    I was working in the North Sea at the time of this incident! It was an odd feeling

    I will try to find a copy of the book. Found used moments ago and bought. Waiting the delivery, no amazon kindle version, I will go back to paper.

    Thanks for uploading. This doc is from the early 1990s btw not 1988 - will have been 1993 or late 1992.

      Ah just seen at the end of the doc it says 1993 - that's that solved then!

    This was terrible. I was 3 in July 1988 when this happened so do not remember it. RIP to those who lost their lives.
