Fire In The Night by Stephen McGinty

A vivid investigative narrative of the catastrophic 1988 North Sea Piper Alpha oil-platform explosion, combining survivor testimony, rescue accounts and the official inquiry to reconstruct how technical failures, miscommunication and a poor safety culture turned an ordinary shift into one of the worst industrial disasters in British history; it examines the human cost, institutional failings and the safety reforms that followed.
