Draft:Paria diving disaster

In the afternoon hours of February 25, 2022, five divers - Christopher Boodram, Kazim Ali Jr., Yusuf Henry, Fyzal Kurban, and Rishi Nagassar, were pulled into a pipeline in a harbor near Pointe-à-Pierre, Trinidad and Tobago. The pipeline was owned by the Paria Fuel Trading Company, which in turn was owned by the Trinidad Petroleum Holdings. The five divers, after being pulled, became entrapped inside the pipeline, with only Boodram managing to survive after being pulled out of the pipeline; Ali Jr., Henry, Kurban, and Nagassar later died inside it.[1][2][3]
