yanzy_polaris: Oh my God..it's happens at my hometown. How could it be?? I'm really shock when I heard and read about this news on that day.. where's the procedure? Where are all these so called safety officer? That is why the safety culture needs to be cultivated among them. When things like this happen others will learn from the lesson learn b'coz it will be published all around the world within the Oil& Gas industries.
