Netizens Horrified by Byford Dolphin Incident Autopsy Details
Nobody wakes up to a bright new day with the intention of dying within a few hours.
This was the fate of four divers and one Tender who were killed on the Byford Dolphin semi-submersible oil rig in 1983.
According to the reports, the incident occurred in the North Sea, off the coast of Norway.
The divers were part of a saturation diving operation.
This operation ensured that they could work at great depth by living in an environment with relatively high pressure.
The tragic incident which occurred on the 5th of November, 1983 is regarded as one of the most catastrophic and tragic events in the history of commercial diving.
The accident occurred as a result of an error when the divers were performing one of their routine activities.
This error resulted in the chamber being at a pressure of 9 atmospheres while the external atmosphere had a reading of 1 atmosphere.
This wide difference in pressure resulted in a tragic explosion that resulted in the instant death of the divers.
The names of the divers involved are Edwin Coward, Roy Lucas, Bjorn Bergersen, and Truls Hellevik. The fifth person affected was a tender named William Crammond.
This tragic incident has raised eyebrows among Netizens who believe this is arguably the worst way to die following the pictures that emerged which suggested that they died even before they realized that they were breathing their last breath.
Here are some of the reactions from Netizens.
“Pictures of their remains resemble ground beef. They were dead before their brains could even process what was happening. Gruesome stuff”
“There are pictures of the bodies online, the diver closest to the chamber opening really puts that whole pressure thing into perspective. Do not be fucking around underwater”
“Their blood literally boiled inside their bodies from the decompression”
