Summary
| Description |
English: Ocean Ranger was at the time of its sinking the largest oil platform in the world. A wave at least 28 feet (8.5m) high broke portlights in the ballast control room, flooding it, and disabling the system. Hours later a combination of poor weather and ill trained attempts to fix the ballast system resulted in the rig capsizing.
