Two Injured, One Killed Off Brazilian Coast

Recently off the coast of Brazil, an accident occurred on an oil rig which caused two serious injuries and one fatality to a rig hand. All three workers were attempting to board the rig from the boat that was bringing them to the site. The cause of the accident has been reported to the National Petroleum Agency after investigations by a technical committee, but it is not being publicly reported.
