  • North Sea Rescue

    What a relief, all 18 men safe and well.

    Mr Sheds is an offshore worker, as is my brother and a lot of our friends. We dread events like this. We heard about it on the telephone before it was on the main news, and we were sure they would all die. What a relief.

    In the last 40 years there have been more than 30 fatal incidents involving oil rig helicopters, with more than 110 men killed.

    Indeed a relief.

    When I was little one of my dads friends worked offshore, and I remember him coming into our school with all the survival gear. I remember being impressed back then - lord only knows what the kit's like these days.

    A big well done to all involved I say.

        Absolutely. When the story first started unfolding, I couldn't help thinking we were about to hear dreadful news. Huge relief for them, and their families.

          A lucky escape, thank heavens. Glad none of your people were involved Sheds, must make you feel horribly apprehensive whenever any of them are flying to and fro

            This is the first I've heard of it! Glad everyone is ok, though. The skies seem to be a danherous place at the moment.
