    The Piper Alpha oil rig disaster occurred in 1988 off the coast of Scotland. An uncontrolled gas leak caused a series of explosions and fires that destroyed the platform, killing 167 workers. Investigations later found that inadequate safety procedures, mismanagement, and poor communication contributed to the accident. It remains one of the worst offshore oil disasters in history and led to major reforms in the safety practices for offshore oil rigs.
