On July 6 1988, a series of explosions destroyed the Piper Alpha oil platform in the North Sea, killing 167 men and leaving only 61 survivors. In minute-by-minute detail, this documentary tells the story of how the disaster unfolded and the search for truth, using the testimony of survivors given just months after the disaster, now re-created by actors, and interviews with those whose lives were changed for ever
