British worker trapped in gas pipe<\/p>\n
SAMARINDA, East Kalimantan: Local authorities here are
\ncontinuing to search for the British national believed to be
\ntrapped in a gas pipe off Bontang island.<\/p>\n
Graham Robertson Henry Weil, 36, who works for PT Mac Dermot
\nIndonesia, went missing Monday.<\/p>\n
Lt. Col. Syamsurizal, chief of Bontang Police, was quoted by
\nAntara as saying yesterday that Weil was reportedly last seen
\nheading off to a welding job on a gas pipe.<\/p>\n
The gas pipe is about six miles off Santan Unocal terminal in
\nMuara Badak, Bontang.<\/p>\n
He said Weil left the terminal with three colleagues, John
\nMoni (50), also a Briton, Patrick Leonard (38), an American, and
\nJohan Soumokil (36) from Ambon.<\/p>\n
Many said Weil could have been sucked into the 1-meter
\ndiameter gas pipe after opening the valve.<\/p>\n
The pipe channels gas from its source off Bontang island to an
\ninland terminal.<\/p>\n
Syamsurizal said after receiving a report on the accident, a
\nnumber of policemen and coastguard patrols were immediately
\ndeployed to search for Weil.<\/p>\n
He said the company's security personnel have flooded the pipe
\nwith water in an attempt to find his body.<\/p>\n
Syamsurizal said the police had not dismissed the possibility
\nof foul play and are investigating.<\/p>",
