Offshore Platform Sinks-China





Emergency personnel rescued 34 workers from an oil platform that tilted and pitched dangerously near China's east coast, and the search continued for two other workers still missing, despite their slim chance of survival, an official with the rig's operator said. The No. 3 drilling platform in the Shengli Oilfield in the Bohai Bay near eastern Shandong Province, operated by the China Petroleum & Chemical Corp (Sinopec), Asia's largest refiner by capacity, tilted at a 45-degree angle to the sea, causing four workers to fall into the water and trapping 32 of them on the platform, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
