Oil Workers killed in Helicopter CrashThree passengers, including an Aberdeen oil worker, and two crew have been killed in a helicopter crash 115 miles north-east of Rio de Janeiro off the coast of Brazil. The helicopter was being used for a crew-change operation when its tail rotor struck one of the antennas on the Toisa Mariner tanker and broke off. The helicopter lost control and crashed into the sea quickly sinking to a depth of 900 meters. There were no survivors. Aberdeen Oil worker Kenn Ward was employed by Stolt Offshore who were operating the tanker for Petrobras. Added to site on 10/07/03 |
