Piper Alpha 25 Years On

Twenty five years ago on the 6th of July 1988, tragedy struck in the North Sea.

167 men were killed when a series of explosions and fire ripped through the Piper Alpha platform.

To this day it remains the world’s worst offshore disaster.

Twenty five years on this programme will tell the stories of those touched by the tragedy, those on board, their legacy and those they left behind.
