Paria diving tragedy

[edit]

Why is there no discussion of this controversial, tragic event that just happened a little over a year ago? O0drogue0o (talk) 17:09, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Citation 18 is much more nuanced than the current article text suggests:

He said owing to the LMCS rescue plan and its inability to provide adequate resources to attempt a rescue, Paria engaged multiple specialist service providers: Eastern Emergency Response Services, Mitchell’s Professional Diving Services Company, HHSL Safety Systems Ltd, Hull Support Services Ltd, Subsea Global Solutions and Offshore Technology Solutions Ltd. It also had assistance from Heritage Petroleum personnel and the Coast Guard. However, Paria’s knowledge of the pipeline condition was inadequate, unaware of the location and state of an inflatable plug and the divers. Paria then learned that hazards existed and assumed there was significant oil content in the pipe. Boodram’s emergence, covered in oil, supported that assumption. Paria also deduced that the inflatable plug presented the possibility of another Delta P event and saw there were oxygen tanks in the pipe. At the time, Piper was aware of incidents locally and abroad where rescuers perished while attempting a rescue, which was a factor in his decision-making. Peterson said none of the entities contacted by Paria wanted to enter the pipeline. The Coast Guard advised that its divers did not possess the training or specialist equipment. Eastern’s confined space technicians could not undertake a diving rescue, and Mitchell’s found the risk too high. Several expert witnesses advised it was unsafe to enter the pipeline to rescue the trapped divers. Dive supervisor at Heritage Rolph Seales and commercial diver Krishna Fuentes’ evidence suggested that a safe rescue operation would require six to seven commercial divers. While LMCS diver Michael Kurban entered the pipe, and specialist divers Conan and Conrad Beddoe were willing to go in for a rescue attempt, the number was insufficient based on Fuentes and Seales’ suggestion.

I'd suggest a rewrite of the last few sentences is required. Additionally, why doesn't this incident have its own article? It seems noteworthy enough (compare to other accidents like Byford Dolphin). ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 00:58, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The tragedy should have its own separate article?

[edit]

Why for the life of me does this tragedy not have its own separate wikipedia article? It's definitely notable enough. Airgum (talk) 00:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
