I'm just back from a few days hols in Edinburgh, during which all of this drama unfolded. As already said, very well done to the crew and rescuers.
What really chocked me off was that as the event became less and less of a disaster, the t.v. companies were getting more and more desperate for an angle on it, and yesterday one of the regional companies actually had the widow of a Piper Alpha victim, against a backdrop of footage of Piper Alpha as it burned, asking her what this latest incident made her feel like.
How sick is that?
