Sucked Through a Tiny Hole - Byford Dolphin Incident

Thank you all for the kind words! I truly appreciate each and every one of you for being here! However, as some of you have already mentioned in the comments, I want to address some points that have been brought up regarding certain incorrect facts mentioned in this video. Upon further review, I've realized that there were inaccuracies in certain segments, and I want to sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. In particular: - At 2:39 the measurement systems got mixed up during production. "14.6 LBS force per square METER" is mentioned which should have been "per square INCH" - The only body that was left unrecognizable was of Truls Hellevik, because he was the only one that was sucked through the small crescent shaped opening. the bodies of the other divers were mostly intact externally since most of the damage was done internally. It is very important to me that all content on this channel is thoroughly researched and fact-checked, and I'm committed to ensuring the highest level of accuracy.

Lessons from Youtube: 1. Never go diving. 2. Never go caving.

Working for 12 or 18 hours straight is like the ideal environment for mistakes like this to happen

The fact that both doors could be opened simultaneously - and that the only "safety mechanism" was communication between two guys opening the doors - blows my mind.

Having your workers work up to 18 hrs a day with only 3 hours of a sleep isolated for 28 days straight is a recipe for disaster in itself…

18 hours of work and 3 hours sleep? That sounds like the plot of a horror movie.

Being blinked out of existence in a nanosecond sounds like a pretty decent way to go, actually. No pain, no fear...you probably don't even realize that it happened.

''Have repeatedly performed the process and knew it by heart'' that's some words you dont wanna hear when doing crucial stuff like this. Being so good at something you dont even think about it no more is a recipe for disaster

My father works with OSHA as an environmental engineer. Oart of his job is to investigate accidents in order to implement better training/protocols. Once he had to investigate the death of a man who was sucked into an industrial fan and vapourised. There was nothing left but a red mist.

Oil rig workers: you only have to work 5 months! They pay really good Also them: passes away before spending their hard earned money

would i accept a 45 grand monthly pay job? yes. would i do it with a 3 hours of sleep 18 hours of work, high pressure, intense claustrophobia, etc? me personally, no.

You missed a lot, the noise, the faulty PA, the rush for the tender to get his crew change, the signal from inside the chamber that confirmed the chamber door was closed (three knocks, which was imitated by the diver going back to retrieve some kit), the practice that had developed of opening the clamp while the trunking was at full pressure (to save time) and more.

I have quit my job working in oil and gas technician, for reasons like this. From my experience, the management will always push us to do shortcuts and unsafe acts for KPI and to save money, and if an accident like this happens, they will %100 blame it on us for being unsafe🤷🏻‍♂️

It took the gov 26 years — 26 years — to compensate these families. How appalling.

Employer: Asks me to work anywhere near underwater pipes. Me: "Nah, I'm good."

"Pounds per square meter" words no engineer ever wants to hear.

Working for Super long hours for days will make you hear and see things. I wouldn't be surprised if the one that opened the chamber heard a voice telling him it was safe to open it, thinking it was one of his crew members.

No matter how much you pay someone, you cant expect them yo function without atleast 6 hours of sleep minium
