I am again sharing this touching tribute to the 11 men who lost their lives on the Deepwater Horizon on April 20, 2010. The video is introduced by country singer Trace Atkins, a former Gulf of Mexico rig worker. The video and Trace’s song serve as a memorial to the 11 Deepwater Horizon workers and others who have died exploring for and producing oil and gas around the world. Please take a moment to watch.
Macondo revisited series:
- Part 1: Tribute to the 11
- Part 2: Background Information & pre-Macondo BP
- Part 3: The delayed cementing standard
- Part 4: What might have been
- Part 5: Did the National Incident Command unnecessarily prolong the blowout?
- Part 6: The shameful prosecution of BP Well Site leaders Vidrine and Kaluza
Reiterating this proposal: Make April 20th International Offshore Safety Day to honor those who have been killed or injured, to recognize the many workers who provide energy for our economies and way of life, and to encourage safety leadership by all offshore operators, contractors, and service companies.
