[SUSPENSEFUL THEME SONG]
00:00:21
NARRATOR 1: In January of 1995,
a private coalition of
00:00:25
British and Norwegian
businessmen hired Blackbell
00:00:27
PMC, a prototypical security
contractor firm, to resolve a
00:00:32
situation involving a key
drilling platform situated 50
00:00:36
miles off of [INAUDIBLE].
00:00:43
Water temperature was
two degrees Celsius,
00:00:45
seas moderate to rough.
00:00:47
A gale force six warning
was in effect.
00:00:51
Seas 9 to 13 feet, wind
speed 25 knots.
00:00:55
The pilot reported no trouble
inbound, no cause for concern.
00:00:59
Our mission was a go.
00:01:00
Security cams are tracking
28 targets.
00:01:03
No signs of weapons.
00:01:05
They have a device they're
claiming is an explosive, but
00:01:07
we have yet to confirm.
00:01:09
If you want my personal
assessment, I'd say we have 14
00:01:12
tree huggers in way
over their heads.
00:01:14
They issued a press
release, a demand.
00:01:17
The oil industry abandons
biologically sensitive sea
00:01:20
life habitats, or they send this
rig to the ocean floor.
00:01:24
$5 billion of damage and
loss of profits.
00:01:27
MALE SPEAKER (OFFSCREEN):
Three seconds.
00:01:31
-Everyone, hands up!
00:01:32
Get down on the floor, now!
00:01:36
-Israel, get top side.
00:01:37
Signal for the Chinook so we
can get these people out of
00:01:40
-Be careful, soldier.
00:01:47
NARRATOR 1: Oil rigs are
built to absorb some
00:01:49
pretty serious weather.
00:01:51
If they figure a freak wave at
70 foot or plus is even a one
00:01:54
in 100 years occurrence, they'll
build the platforms to
00:01:57
withstand one of those.
00:01:59
Maybe withstand, because who's
really testing that out?
00:02:03
Rogue waves, once considered the
stuff of myth and legend,
00:02:07
introduced themselves to
the scientific world on
00:02:10
New Year's day, 1995.
00:02:12
The Draupner oil platform
took the hit.
00:02:15
Plenty of eyewitnesses and
recording equipment to verify
00:02:19
This is not the Draupner
platform.
00:02:28
NARRATOR 1: Draupner
got one wave.
00:02:30
The definition of a rogue
wave, a one-off.
00:02:33
A freak lineup of conditions
resulting in a single
