Dosn't time go by. I can remember as a child living Aberdeen that accident but really during that period it just seemed to be a succession of kids in school getting taken out of class not to be seen for the rest of the week.
Be it divers getting sucked into pipes, blow outs, crushed by gear. I don't think there was a single year at school that didn't have someone who had lost a dad or dad was in a wheelchair.
I don't think there was anyone in Aberdeen who hadn't been linked to a oil death personally over that period. The last for me was Les my Scout leader who was a OIM on Piper A, I always wonder what happen to his boys who were the exception to the standard yank brats which used to appear and go.
Eric had an interesting story about his survival which my dad used as a moral story quite a few times.
