The Cleator Moor Norwegian oil workers tragedy 2

The Alexander L. Kielland was a drilling rig that was used as a floating hotel, and its capsize was the worst disaster in Norwegian off-shore history. In total 123 people were killed, including six workers from Cleator Moor. Now family members return to Stavanger, the oil capital of Norway, in search of closure forty four years later. Engineer John Aird remembers the horror of that night in 1980, which haunts him still.
