It was a broken window in the computer room I heard (from an engineer who worked on it..) and that caused power shortages and then what was used to stabilize the rig did not work..so it was not like it just tipped over..but there are tragic stories about people making it into lifeboats..as usual I scramble them in my head...the cover on the lifeboats maybe didn't close properly and they flooded? Don't know. It seems to me there were a least two lifeboats with survivors.

And in the 84..does that include vendors? I found out much later than someone had died who supplied the rig so he probably would not be on the list of 84..

Plus a Russian boat went down trying to rescue them or reach them...loaded with pulp..took on water I guess. mg
