3.02 The Byford Dolphin Explosive Decompression Accident

This week I cover a highly-requested topic: the Byford Dolphin explosive decompression accident. On November 5th, 1983, 4 saturation divers instantly died following a massive explosion while working on an offshore drilling rig. One of their assistants was also fatally wounded. What caused this massive and horrific accident?
