A fire broke out on the offshore platform #10, Dec. 4, as a strong storm damaged an underwater high-pressure gas pipeline. As many as 33 people were rescued in an ensuing large-scale operation. The bodies of ten killed were retrieved, while 20 oil workers are still listed as missing.
The oilman’s body was found 55 kilometers away from the coast of Turkmenistan during a search and rescue operation. The body was retrieved from the sea and has been delivered to the Turkmen port of Turkmenbashi.
