I understand the passengers concerns.....yet they go live and work on places like the Piper Alpha....we usually just drop in for a quick meal and pee then off to the hill.

We could begin to tote up the casualty list for those disasters and perhaps develop some concerns about the safety of rigs and platforms ourselves.

If we are going to discuss risks....that could be one of the topics.


In this article there is mention of action taken in the GOM.....and weather related accidents for helicopters dropped to ZERO over a three year period.
