quote:

"Something went wrong on the rig he was on, it started listing extremely badly and started taking on water," Sudduth said. "A hatch needed to be opened under the water line, and when they asked for volunteers, the only one to stick his hand up was Karl. Karl had no dive experience."

He went under, opened the hatch and the rig with its 125 workers stayed afloat.

"He didn't get stressed," Sudduth said. "I've never seen the man panic. I never seen him highly upset. Nothing bothers him."
