It was July 6, 1988. On the Piper Alpha oil rig in the North Sea... disaster was about to strike. Nobody knew it at the time. But years, even decades later. What happened on this day, July 6, 1988, will go down in history. This day, July 6, 1988, gave us the term - “A burning platform”.   

The events on the Piper Alpha oil rig on this fateful day taught the world the importance of establishing a sense of urgency.
