Fireboats douse blazing offshore rig amid smoke and chaos
Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Adriano Plotzky survived a catastrophic offshore oil platform explosion in Brazil that killed 37 people, one of the deadliest accidents in the country's petroleum industry.▶ 3:38 He recounts escaping a burning platform in 6-meter waves and heavy rain, descending roughly 30 meters of stairs to a small boarding platform where a rescue vessel made repeated passes.▶ 1:10 He warns that jumping from that height with a life jacket is fatal — the impact on landing breaks shoulders and drowns survivors — and instead he grabbed a lifeboat's line, threw his backpack aboard, and helped two stranded men board before cutting the line and departing.▶ 2:10 His supervisor Luber, whom he had gone to search for during the disaster, did not survive; Plotzky credits that search with saving his own life, since leaving to find Luber pulled him away from the men who perished in the fire.▶ 4:00 He returned to work the following day, and the crew spent months operating from a float hotel to restore the platform.▶ 5:17 The account covers life jacket hazards in high-fall rescues, lifeboat boarding in heavy seas, and the psychological weight of returning to work after mass-casualty trauma.
