Video post: deep sea fishing, oil industry style - November 25, 2008

Via the Ocean Engineering blog, comes an amazing video.

The dangers of swimming too fast and not looking where you’re going are ably illustrated by this swordfish (or possibly marlin), found wedged into a blow out preventer on the Atwood Eagle oil rig. Not to worry though fish fans, a friendly underwater robot comes along to rescue it.

“This is an example of the things that make the offshore oil industry fun,” says the Peripatetic Engineer blog.
