2 weeks agoDisaster at Sea: The Piper Alpha Story review this oil rig horror is up there with Chornobyl
Disaster at Sea: The Piper Alpha Story copes with the challenge superbly, leaning heavily on survivor testimony 61 men escaped from the rig and combining it with a simple 2D diagram of the platform's layout to give us the fullest picture possible. It doesn't have the special-effects budget that would be required to simulate the ferocity of the fire or the intensity of the thick, black smoke possibly no amount of pyrotechnics or CGI would be able to do that anyway
