[Video] Oil rig sinking off the southern coast of Gabon… “1 person dead, 4 missing”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) On the 24th (local time), an oil drilling ship sank in the waters south of Gabon, Africa.

The drill ship 'Prospector 5', with a total of 115 people on board, slowly tilted and completely sank into the water at around 9:40 pm on this day during the work of fixing the bridge to the sea floor.

Bor Drilling, a drilling equipment operator, said, “It is presumed that the ground collapsed during the preliminary load test, causing the drill ship to lose balance and sink.”

The whereabouts of 110 of the 115 people on board were confirmed, but one person was found dead and four were missing. Take a look at the video.
