Byford Dolphin was a semi-submersible, column-stabilised drilling rig operated by Dolphin Drilling, a subsidiary of Fred Olsen Energy. Byford Dolphin was registered in Hamilton, Bermuda,[3] and drilled seasonally for various companies in the British, Danish, and Norwegian sectors of the North Sea. In 2019, Dolphin scrapped the rig.[5]

The rig was the site of several serious incidents, most notably an explosive decompression in 1983 that killed four divers and one dive tender, as well as critically injuring another dive tender.[6]

Oh Christ on a bike. I just listened to the Well There's Your Problem episode on this. I'm gonna need a drink.

If I'm gonna go, I'm surprisingly okay with never knowing it was happening. I want it to happen that fast.

Eli's voice slayed me! I was crying with laughter!

“They work hard and they play hard and then they explode.” Did Eli recently watch Outland recently?

I remember a reference to that in a 1990s Straight Dope column* about decompression: "The bodies of three of the dead men were outwardly normal. The fourth man, however, was forced through a narrow hatch by the rush of escaping air and his body, to be blunt, was reduced to pot roast. Naturally, the authors of the article felt obliged to include pictures, including a close-up of what was left of the face." *https://www.straightdope.com/21341879/if-you-were-thrown-into-the-vacuum-of-space-with-no-space-suit-would-you-explode (no photos in the link.)

Love that we’re now in Tom’s ‘oceans will kill you’ era.

Noah boo'ed the numbers and elements part, but you can tell by his tone his heart wasn't in it. The man had to write a joke, but he really just wanted more numbers.
