Glasgow Evening Times: Tragedy rig in new safety scare
“A Shell spokesman said today the rig had been “downmanned” and that 86 workers had been flown to nearby Brent Charlie, Brent Delta and North Cormorant rigs.”
Tuesday 9 August 2005
A North Sea oil platform where two workers were killed was at the centre of another safety scare today after a leak was discovered in one of the rig’s legs.
More than 80 workers were airlifted from Shell’s Brent Bravo platform last night after the leak was found.
A number of employees have remained on the rig, which is in the process of shutting down so that the leak can be repaired.
A Shell spokesman said today the rig had been “downmanned” and that 86 workers had been flown to nearby Brent Charlie, Brent Delta and North Cormorant rigs.
He added that 60 staff remained on the installation, which lies 116 miles north-east of Lerwick in Shetland. “It is a small oil leak and no gas has escaped,” he said.
In September 2003 Keith Moncrieff and Sean McCue died after a massive gas escape on board the Brent Bravo platform.
Shell were later fined £900,000 after it admitted a series of breaches of health and safety regulations.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
