  Blowout

Blowout 
Life on an oil rig is brutal, arduous, and highly dangerous--as Orrell discovered when he worked as a radio operator on a rig in the wild and hostile North Sea. He recounts all the drama of life on board--colourful characters, humour, tragedy, fights, camaraderie, appalling accidents, and atrocious weather. When the rig suffers a disastrous blowout, recue boats and helicopters battle against gale-force winds and raging seas to evacuate men from the gas-filled platform. In the end, Orrell found himself abandoned with only one colleague on the gas- and oil-spewing rig.
