3 Killed in Malaysia After Lifeboat Falls from Petronas Floating Vessel The Petronas floating vessel, a massive oil production facility off the coast of Malaysia, was the scene of tragedy on Tuesday when three workers lost their lives after a lifeboat fell into the sea.
The incident is the latest in a long line of safety incidents to plague the industry.
According to eyewitnesses, the lifeboat was attached to a rope or hook that apparently came undone, sending the vessel plummeting into the water below.
