On July 6, 1988, the American oil platform Piper Alpha exploded in the North Sea outside Aberdeen, Scotland. The disaster killed 167 people. Sixty-one workers escaped and survived. The platform was 30 to 50 meters above the sea, and the disaster cost £1.7 billion. A memorial marker stands at the site of the former platform.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·
