Online tributes for North Sea helicopter crash victims
Tribute pages launched on internet
Published:
ONLINE tribute pages have been launched to remember victims of the Super Puma crash.
A group called Bond Helicopter Tragedy 01/04/09 has been created on the internet and has already attracted 2,500 members.
And a similar site has also been set up on another website.
Family, friends and work colleagues of the 16 men are among those who left messages.
A relative of one of the victims, 27-year-old Stuart Wood from Newmachar, left a message on Bebo which read: “You will be sorely missed by all the family. You were one of a kind and will never be replaced.
“For all that knew you, you were the life and soul of everyone’s life and there will always be a gap that will never be replaced.”
Workers on the Miller Platform, where the helicopter picked up the men before crashing, have also paid tribute.
A message said: “RIP boys, you are in our thoughts here on Miller.
“Life will be a sadder, duller place without you all. It is such a horrific tragedy.”
