Weekly Wikipedia Find: Byford dolphin diving bell accident
I must be on some sort of aquatic kick. It's got stop man. The sweet highs, the bitter lows, they're becoming too much. I can see the intervention now... anyway, let's get back on topic.
The Byford dolphin diving bell accident was the explosive decompression of a Norwegian semi-submersible oil rig in 1983. One of the divers "violently exploded due to the rapid and massive expansion of internal gases." Horrendous as these events may be, they offer valuable real world scenarios in the effects of decompression, especially as it may pertain to space, or science fiction.
