A horrifying incident on the Byford Dolphin oil rig on November 5 1983 resulted in the instant death of five workers, with a sixth narrowly escaping but left with life-altering injuries. The crew were carrying out routine maintenance work at the time, according to a YouTube video that has now garnered over 5 million views.
The video explains how the men met their tragic end while working on the oil rig situated in the North Sea near Norway after an abrupt pressure change wreaked havoc on their bodies. Roy Lucas, 38, Edwin Coward, 36, Truls Hellevik, 34 and Bjorn Giaever, 29, William Crammond, 33, and Martin Saunders, 30 were all on duty on the rig at the time of the catastrophe.
