The topsides were being removed from Santos' 30-year old Sinbad platform off WA on 5 July 2021 when things went seriously wrong.
Watch the orange-clad workers on the side of the monopod supporting the platform topsides.
As the topsides begins to move a shower of dropped objects fall into the sea, fortunately missing the workers. One worker has to clamber and duck to avoid a metal cable.
The topsides swings towards the vessel, and then away, breaking a cable and sending the cable and a heavy metal object shooting towards the vessel and hitting it. This happens again on the next swing. The crew on the vessel were endangered, not just the rope access technicians on the platform.
