Commentator remarked that at the Piper Enquiry they stated if the men on board Piper Alpha had basic fire training the could have possibly survived. Rubbish. All on board had to have done their survival course, which included basic fire fighting. But on the night, their was no possible chance even an experienced firefighter could have done anything about. Even the biggest fire engine in the North Sea was beside it and had little effect. MSV Tharos. The ones that followed procedure perish, the ones that looked after themselves survived.

There were penguins on one of the icebergs - stock footage used without checking which hemisphere it was shot in.

Because the majority of electricity produced comes from fossil fuels. So you burn coal and oil to make hydrogen then burn the hydrogen to make water. In the end you would have been better to just use the oil in the first place. Hydrogen electrolysis is less like a production, and more like a storage, like batteries, but much less efficient.

Best thing is that this Is voiced by Mark Hamill

That's an interesting question I like to see answered. I think they would salvage the upper part, but leave the concrete base. It probably would turn into a reef. Like most man made structures put down in the water. I know some practices of retiring a ship is to just sink it with the intention of making it a reef, a home for sea life.

Luke? anyone else pickup that its Mark Hamel is the narrator? This video gets a like automatically based on that alone.

With what we now know about giant waves both those figures seem rather low. Waves of over 100feet do occur from time to time in these locations as numerous waves coincide occassionally, In fact the oil rig that sank(mentioned in the video) was probably taken out by a freak wave that smashed the porthole in the ballast control room and thus flooded the control computer and led to the capsize.
