BP Company Man

Not sure either, Did he die in the blast?

Donald Vidrine

I doubt Mr. Vidrine was the ultimate decision maker at the time the decisions were made.

Every day more than one passenger plane takes of with some piece of equipment that is not working 100%. The captain of the plane makes the decision that whatever is malfunctioning will not compromise safety. Mr Vidrine had to make the same call, it is doubtful he made a decision he thought would endanger the rig workers. Planes have crashed because the Captain choose to take off with a faulty indicator light that any other time would have been irrelavant, but this one time a sequence of events occured that made it critical to the flight. The same thing happened here, a decision was made by a man based on the information he had at the time.

I certainly don't know what occured, but someone on the oil rig board described 4 different people who should have saw the signs on a rig like this that should have acted. Of course, until the investigation is complete it's all just speculation... but please lets burn him first to see if he is in fact not a witch.

BUT if those 4 people saw and knew something was going on would the people that they report to have done the right thing? Or do you think that these "4" told no one what was going on?????

As I understand it, the well returns were being sent to a workboat and not in return pits, therefore they were more than likely unable to monitor the returns, (which in itself is ludicrous) so it was too late when they finally realized there was a problem which was when the expanded gas bubble reached the surface. All of this was so damn preventable.
