The Piper Alpha disaster still haunts the north and north-east to this day.
Nobody who was involved in Piper Alpha will ever forget the night the sea caught fire during the world’s worst offshore disaster.
Whether it was the families and friends of the 167 men who died or the emergency services who tended to the precious few people who were flown back to Aberdeen, or those who sailed into a vision from hell to carry out a desperate rescue mission, the tragic events which unfolded on the night of July 6 1988 are permanently ingrained in Scotland’s history.
