I actually remember that... I was only 8 y/o.

R.I.P. to those 84 souls.

Sad that 84 lives were lost due to thinking it was unsinkable and lack of training in an emergency. Sounds like many good safety measures came out of the tragedy for the next generation of offshore workers. R.I.P.

Sounds like the story of the Titanic. Seems it takes a tragedy to make progress.

Ron Hynes wrote a beautiful song about the heartache felt by the family of the lost men
