Chinook Remembered: How the day unfolded

There were 47 men travelling home from the Brent field in the North Sea when it plunged into water not far from Shetland.

Of those on board, only two would survive the incident, including a pilot and one of the oil workers.

The men were said to have been rescued “by chance” after a member of the coastguard team on a flight nearby spotted oil slick.
