Description

The Piper Alpha disaster was one of the world's worst offshore oil disasters, with a fire visible from 70 miles away. On July 6, 1988, the oil platform was ablaze, claiming the lives of 226 men, with only 61 survivors. This book tells the story of that fateful night in gripping detail, combining interviews with survivors, witness statements, and transcripts from the official enquiry.

Fire in the Night is a moving and vivid account of the devastating events that unfolded on the Piper Alpha oil rig. The book sheds light on the causes of the disaster and the efforts made to investigate and respond to it.

With a focus on the human impact of the disaster, this book provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant industrial accidents in history.
