Sad anniversary...

It was 33yrs ago toady that the Ocean Ranger sank off the shores of Newfoundland. 84 workers were lost when a 20m wave broke a porthole during a storm causing control issues with the ballast tanks.

Below is a link to a web page detailing what happened.

I too had a distant memory of this. After reading the article, I indeed do remember. What a scary way to die. A bit of fear is always a good thing. A bit of fear is called respect. Thanks for sharing!

I went to school with one of those guys. A sad, avoidable tragedy and a terrible way to leave this world.
