Description

Rig: An Oral History of the Ocean Ranger Disaster, a collection of first-person accounts and previously unpublished photographs, describes events as they unfolded from those most greatly affected-victims' families, former rig workers, emergency responders and government officials.

It is an intimate journey through grief and sadness and the search for meaning in the most devasting of tragedies.
