🚨 BREAKING: Oil rig collapses on the North Slope and I’ve worked on that rig.
I’ve literally worked on the rig that just tipped over on the North Slope, going into Doyon 26. They call it The Beast and today, it fell. 🛢️❄️
First and most important I truly hope every worker made it out safe. Those guys are somebody’s husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. This isn’t just “infrastructure” it’s people’s lives. 🙏
But let’s be real this should scare the hell out of Alaskans.
We rely on this equipment for energy, for jobs, and for keeping our state running, and when something this big goes down, it raises real questions about safety, maintenance, and oversight in some of the harshest conditions on Earth.
The North Slope isn’t forgiving. One failure out there isn’t just a mechanical issue it’s a potential disaster. ⚠️
