A hurricane at sea

[aladon1965]

Skinny legs eh?

No, it's not scary at all, but there has been times where the waves has been as high as the celladeck (the lowest deck) and swept away containers, but no people has been swept overboard.

Stuck on ground?

hehe, well these platforms is designed to be at the same spot for atleast 20 year+ to produce oil from the same oil reservoir

This is a good day on the north sea. WTF Hurricane?

[mjkwyo]

What a pissy little wind storm? Could rais holy hell I agree tiny legs!~ where is the wtr ???????????

[uec19tube]

What a load of garbage. Firstly, you don't get hurricanes in the North Sea. Secondly, there is blue sky (I think) in the top left. Finally, there are only at best 5 metre swells, nothing compared to what the North Sea can produce!

Did you see those spindly little legs under the rig? Christ! Could they get them any thinner? Not big enough!

[yellowmetalcyborg]

@taytohead Actually, if you made them any thicker, they would be more prone to destruction by waves, more cross sectional area.

that doesnt look even bad, north sea is alot worse than this

[lukaepeluca]

That is the north sea you idiot! Is Ekofisk field.

And the weather is quite okay on this video. No idea of an evacuation. There was evacuation when the waves reached the lower level of the platform.

i have a question, the title says hurricane at sea, but in this note you state that the weather was quite ok ?

[lukaepeluca]

i did not post the video, but i know this place quite good. thats why i wrote this. north sea is most of its time very stormy, so i say: quite normal.

[economistBR]

Cool, but why didn't you evacuate with the rest of the people

[nickolasbbtt]
