[oil & gas] katie sings in the leg of a troll and lives to tell the tale

Don’t say I never bring you cutting edge news. Georgian-Irish Katie Melua set a world deep-water record by performing a concert 994 feet under the North Sea at the bottom of a hollow concrete leg that helps support the Troll A offshore platform, about 55 miles off the coast of the western Norwegian city of Bergen, the Norwegian oil company Statoil ASA said. Craig Glenday, editor of The Guinness Book of Records, confirmed the record for 'the world's deepest underwater concert performed in front of an audience.' Melua's Internet site said there was extensive training for the concert, 'including escaping through the window of a submerged helicopter.' These sorts of things are milestones in our lives, wouldn’t you agree?
