They also alleged the accident was due to a lack of proper equipment, including clamping mechanisms equipped with interlocking mechanisms (which would be impossible to open while the chamber system was still under pressure), outboard pressure gauges, and a safe communication system, all of which had been held back because of dispensations by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.

Fatigue may also have taken its toll on the crew, who had been working for longer than 12 hours

Imagine forcing your workers into more than 12h shifts, running on 30 year old equipment, the government straight up refusing to upgrade said equipment, while making billions in profits - they don't call it gross profit for no reason....

Am I reading the right article? I read the entire wiki article linked above and, quite honestly, the part you've quoted here is the only piece that even approaches being gruesome, and is very medically sanitized. What are people referring to when they say that the descriptions made them want to vomit and all this stuff?

The wildest part to me is someone having the last name Coward. The only way that surname makes sense is if it was changed from something worse like Kiddiddler.
