🚨 115 PEOPLE WERE ONBOARD. THE RIG SANK. FIVE PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES. The Prospector 5 jack-up drilling rig sank off the coast of Gabon, West Africa, on October 24, 2026, during operations ahead of a planned drilling campaign. Preliminary findings pointed to a possible punch-through event during preload activities. This happens when a jack-up rig's leg suddenly penetrates deeper into the seabed than expected, causing the structure to lose stability. Of the 115 people onboard, 110 were rescued.
