On March 27, high winds hit one of the leg bracings (The support structures of the legs on platforms) so hard that it failed, and one of the legs on the platform collapsed, which led to the platform tilting 30 degrees and eventually capsizing, which is when boats and platforms tilt and take in enough water to sink.

After further investigations, the Kiallend platrorm had a undetected crack on one of the leg bracings. The rest of the investigations are closed to the public, and the families of the deceased still has unanswered questions.
