It said 10 workers were injured in the blast. The union said on its Facebook page that the two bodies were found inside the engine room of the vessel, one of many floating oil production, storage and offloading units that state-run oil company Petrobras employs in developing Brazil’s massive offshore oil fields. The ship was leased by Petrobras from Norway-based BW Offshore, which confirmed the new death toll and the number of missing workers. “It was a tragic day and we will not rest until we find the four workers who are missing,” BW Offshore’s CEO, Carl Arnet, said in a statement. BW Offshore said that 74 workers were on board at the time of the blast and that 65 were safely evacuated from the ship, which was about 25 miles (40km) off the coast.

Initially, his idea didn’t go down well with his wife, Maria Elizabeth da Silva, 64, who told her husband of forty years, that she didn’t agree that it would work. She said: “I told him not to do it because it sounded like such a crazy idea and I thought it wouldn’t look right. But it was no point arguing with him. Once he sets his sights on doing something he just goes ahead.” Seeing as she wasn’t going to change her husband’s mind, Maria decided to throw her weight behind the project. the couple toiled several days a week with Maria acting as Valdevino’s assistant to build the 400 square metre house “We worked well together and hardly argued because he is a perfectionist and his drawings were spot on,” Maria said as he has so much experience we never had any obstacles or difficulties,” she added With the slanted roof at the bottom some said the inside would be short on space But Valdevino explained he has constructed the property so every area is ‘completely well used and contributes to the character of the place’ The structure is well supported with columns running on all four corners Even the water tank is integrated at the bottom Not surprisingly the unusual structure has become a tourist attraction and many are stopping to take selfies in front of the distinctive dwelling the creative landlord is looking for a like-minded backer to stretch their imagination and help him finish off his fantastic endeavour Valdevino said: “This is my dream project but the reality has been a bit more expensive than I thought I’m looking for support to finish it off as I want to fit the furniture to the ceiling and turn it into a fun attraction as there is nothing like it in Brazil.” Our journalists strive for accuracy but on occasion we make mistakes.
