have you been to any IOC's swamp location without BOSIET before? Stop saying what you don't know and the silly argument. My initial post was based on the assumption his contract might be for an IOC. He explained and said it's for an indigenous firm. I just told you its the neglect by the indigenous players because most swamp locations are accessible by boat. No company will allow you fly chopper to a swamp location without BOSIET i.e chevron's okan, shell's belema and some I can't remember
Yes sir.....all correct sir....you win.

hello, get familiar with the industry standards. It's neglect in the Nigerian industry/keyplayers that make people go to swamp neglecting those training. All locations give induction, that's not special. You can't visit a swamp location owned by an IOC without BOSIET... all from experience. BOSIET is not passbook. its reciept is an ID card. FYI, choppers do land on some swamp location. Besides, it's only a bonus and never a bad idea to have one. Thank you!
an ID card is a passbook........BOSIET for swamplocation ,am still marvelled, so IOC's dont keep industrial standards again too, you just safety induction, and do ur job and get out and move to d next facility....but wen you are going 1000 nautical miles offshore away from the nearest land and on a platform that is d deepest sea gorge in the ocean...now we are talking.

And u think American government would let their citizen and white for that matter be in jail in Nigeria of all places.
These people feel they are superior to all other countries, they will negotiate their way out of it.
One thing I like about them though, they don't give a stiff punishment for fraud related crimes unlike their Asian counterparts.

Foreign AffairsOne Of The Uncoolest Death In History by blackbriar(op): 3:59pm On Jun 14, 2017
Vladimir Komarov

Russian Cosmonaut who took a mission he knew was doomed rather than refuse and let his friend Yuri Gagarin die in his stead.

He was asked, "Why not refuse?" Komarov answered: "If I don't make this flight, they'll send the backup pilot instead." That was Yuri Gagarin. Vladimir Komarov couldn't do that to his friend. "That's Yura," he is quoted as saying, "and he'll die instead of me. We've got to take care of him." Komarov then burst into tears.

Just as he had assumed, the mission was chock full of mechanical failures before the cosmonaut attempted to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. He was flying the craft manually by the end of the mission.

It took some heroic efforts on the part of Komorav to orient the capsule into position for the attempted landing. Despite his best efforts the ship was doomed.

The space vehicle was shoddily constructed, running dangerously low on fuel; its parachutes — though no one knows this — won't work and he is about to, literally, crash full speed into Earth, his body turning molten on impact. As he heads to his doom, U.S. listening posts in Turkey hear him crying in rage, "cursing the people who had put him inside a botched spaceship.

Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov Screamed Until He Hit the Earth

Days before launch, Russayev had dinner with Komarov and his wife. As the cosmonaut walked the KGB officer to the door, he turned to his guest and said plainly "I'm not going to make it back from this flight." Komarov went on to explain that his hands were tied. If he refused the flight, the politburo would strip him of his military honors and send Gagarin in his place. He couldn't send a close friend and national hero to his death.

The inevitable feeling that there would be a fatal end of the mission loomed in the air on launch day. Gagarin was particularly agitated, acting out and making strange demands. He wasn't supposed to go to the launch pad with Komarov, but he did and demanded a pressure suit as well. Some see Gagarin's actions as his attempt to elbow his way in to the cockpit to save his friend's life while others suggest this was his way of getting a pressure suit for Komarov. It wasn't much, but it would give the cosmonaut an added defense against a defective spacecraft. Another reading of Gagarin's actions is that he was trying to disrupt launch procedures enough to cancel the mission.


Once in orbit, only one of the two solar panels deployed, leaving the lopsided spacecraft limping along at half power. Soyuz 2 was then cancelled when it became clear the best course of action was to get Komarov home as quickly as possible. But as soon as the cosmonaut reentered the atmosphere, things went from bad to worse. The lopsided spacecraft was unbalanced and started spinning. Komarov couldn't control his attitude, and thus couldn't get his spacecraft's rounded bottom to face the ground, which meant this landing rockets wouldn't be able to cushion his landing. He tumbled as he fell straight down completely out of control

During Soyuz 1's descent, Chairman of the Council of Ministers Alexei Kosygin cried as he told the cosmonaut he was a hero. Komarov's wife came on the line and the couple spoke about his affairs and said goodbye. Finally, the cosmonaut's yells of frustration and rage were the last sounds recorded from the spacecraft.

Soyuz 1 hit the ground with the force of a 2.8 ton meteorite. The capsule was instantly flattened under the force. Triggered the landing rockets that lit the wreckage on fire. Komarov's charred remains were uncovered and displayed during his funeral. The largest recognizable part of his body was his heel bone.
