Joe Meanen - Escaping Piper Alpha and remembering the 167.

Joe Meanen - Escaping Piper Alpha and remembering the 167.

In this powerful episode of Wind, Waves & Wells with Joe Meanen, we take a hard and honest look at the night that changed everything in the offshore world.

Piper Alpha. Two words that still echo through every rig briefing and safety meeting. On 6 July 1988, 167 lives were lost in the worst offshore disaster the world has ever seen. It was not just a tragedy. It was a warning.

Joe walks through what happened, how it happened, and the ripple effects still felt across the industry today. No corporate script. No empty slogans. Just the truth, the facts, and the faces behind the numbers.

In this episode:

- The timeline of the disaster and the critical failures that led to it - What Joe did to save himself that night - Life offshore in the 80s and how much the culture has shifted - What we have learned since and what we still get wrong - A quiet and respectful tribute to those who never came home

This is not about looking back for the sake of it. It is about making sure we do not forget what went wrong and why it must never happen again.

If you have ever worked offshore, known someone who has, or want to understand what safety really means when it is not just policy but survival, this episode is for you.
