Mark Wahlberg Sits Down With His 'Deepwater Horizon' Real-Life Counterpart | The Influencers | TIME

What's stupid is the 2 BP guys who got charged for manslaughter. Their charges were lifted. The government is stupid
still better than Iran government
money buys everything mate
Omgad
Eric Holder. Fast & Furious gunrunning. Total jerk Obama belt loop boy.
They should be in prison. Should of charged them with 11 counts of manslaughter
R.I.P to those 11 people and I also feel bad for the animals that died
John. You mean the pelicans and other birds, right?
@@karenbrakefield9086 Obviously- including the other animals because it wasn't just birds.
Everything that was covered by the oil
Do you eat fish and sea animals though?
the Earth is hurting.. all because of ignorant people and businessmen/women not caring about safety measures and rushing their workers just for money and greed.. I feel bad to be a part of a species that hurt the Earth, and I can't do anything because I'm a child..
Great movie, sad story. May the men who lost their lives rest in peace.
Agreed..... 👍🙏🙏
The sad part is just how they almost 100% exclusively covered the environmental aspect of this tragedy in the news when it happened. I say this because until this movie got me to look into it some more,I had absolutely no clue that there was even so much as a papercut and a trash can fire let alone explosions and loss of life. I had seen NOTHING WHATSOEVER on the news about that part.
Charles Semon This is exactly my memory of this incident. All I remember seeing is oil flowing and dying animals because of it.
BP has a lot of money and they can use it to influence the media
That’s exactly what I was coming here to say... wow were we all fooled well till we grew up... f
The news media always makes it out to be worst than it really is, they make a mountain out of a mole hill. I’ve seen crude 4” thick all around a blowout platform. It happened before and it will happen again. God bless the souls.
You're exactly right on that charles,I did the same thing
11 years later, this story still gets me emotional and brings tears to eyes. The relationships of the riggers, or "roughnecks" as they are called, are same as those in the military. Mr. Jimmy, The Commanding Officer, Mr. Williams, The Executive Officer, then there are the troops. I salute the workers and the task they except. God bless the Exceptional Eleven, their families and the survivors of Deepwater Horizon.....
Mr jimmy just recently passed away :(
@@minyumonet4746 I pray that he was able to come to terms within himself about the disaster so that he was at peace when he passed. Thank for the update. R.I.H. Mr. Jimmy...
Lets not forget Piper Alpha, in which tragically, most of the rig workers perished. The lessons learned that day have not only changed the safety of rigs and rig workers, but the whole petrochemical industry. Piper Alpha still stands as Britain's worst oil disaster.
Who owned that well?
filipinowhiteboy Oxy Petroleum
Allan Dawes we work to make it better for the next hand. Walk a mile in a roughneck suit and try you ‘experienced’ answer again.
My wife's father survived that incident.
Or ocean ranger
It's shocking to me that I found out people died from watching this film. I had no idea there was any kind of dangerous situation. As far as I was aware some oil rig had a major leak, that was the extent of the situation.
The media failed big time.
Or you’re just detarded
@@brm7469 Wow. What a witty reponse.
No the deaths were recorded and the trial was public, every covered in the media you failed yourself.
@@ButtocksAsshole508 Ahh. Okay. So because the stories I seen from the media didn't mention any deaths, I failed. Makes perfect sense you muppet.
Media is failing deliberately more and more.
working offshore is very dangerous but even after watching this movie I still love doing it.
Steve Farrington you work offshore for bp
Astro boy i contracted out as a rigger, techical jumper and welder. Very hard work and very dangerous
Very true!me proud!
Always support a roughneck at sea. I do midstream but, I know where my bread is baked. Thank you. A million times. Thank you.
@David Bryant why the hate? We dont see you out there putting your life on the line for oil. You have no respect for the people who do the dangerous jobs that go on in the background. Smh.
I was on watch that night 60 nm south of DWH hearing and answering the distress call this will forever be etched in my heart and memory . God blesss that crew
Wow, that's powerful.
Prove that
@@starstatusvillarreal3747 Poor you..😢
Mark whelberg is such a great actor and a person , took his time to know the man he was portraying and tried to do it in a professional and real time
Lmaoo idk about great person
I work in the oilfeild and when i watch these videos it gives me goosebumps!! Shit can go wronng any second of any day....and your gone! Stay safe boys!!
As a daughter to an offshore man, I feel the same way. I just realized how much effort my dad puts, risking his life every single day for the sake of my well-being. Hats off to everyone who faces their own battles everyday, and lets appreciate our loved ones while we can.
Right.... 🙏
My condolences to those who lost their lives. My heart even breaks for that poor bird that was soaked in oil
Yeah.... 🙏
This really hits home.. My husband used to be a (forgive me but this is his words) “Rig Pig” who worked offshore on oil rigs. He’s been through fires, work mates being killed and he him self has been injured. It takes a certain type of person to be able to work in this industry and this movie did an amazing job at not only recognising what happened on the Deep Water Horizon, or remembering those 11 people who lost their lives but also to make us all remember that now there are so many people putting their lives in a dangerous situation for everyone else. May the people who have lost their lives and not only on the Deep Water Horizon but on any oil rig RIP xxx
As a veteran, this interview, and the movie about the tragedy, is very inspiring. I truly wish I could talk to Mr. Wahlberg and thank him for his work.
Veterans of war for life
Rig offshore worker since 1976, now 67 years old and still going offshore. Been trough blowouts, fires, helicopter issues etc. I’m not special, I’m just lucky. One thing to take away from the picture and the truth is the difference between those who manage mainly onshore and trip to offshore and those who work offshore. Miked
"I don't do shitters, thats engineering"
The best line in that movie. Said tons about the insanity of BP and their contractors on cost cutting.
I can tell by Mike's response to Mark's question about something being done differently, quickly giving a pat answer about evidence being under the sea and giving Transocean/Halliburton/BP the benefit of the doubt, he might have been threatened by someone with retribution if he says the wrong thing to the press. There has to be much more to the story and to his feelings than just that. He also uses a performative "I have to tell myself every day" to preface his answer, which betrays that he has much deeper feelings or other information that he is not sharing in this interview. He may be under a gag order.
rorybz which is basically what every Trump voter says about the President
STFU You have never worked on a rig or in the industry in you're life so you really know nothing ..
He didn't plan the thing. He doesn't even work for them anymore.
rorybz I'm sure you are right
And you totally did just as the media did, focused on what happened to cause the disaster, and totally dismissed the focus of his point (and subsequently, the whole point of the movie), the fact that 11 people died that night, and that they and the survivors were totally forgotten about after the disaster.
Of course, he's probably got a lot of deeper feelings and thoughts on the whole disaster, but again, that is not the point of this movie. So why even focus on it, especially when there are dozens of videos here on youtube alone that focus on said "conspiracy narratives".
I never knew the real Mike Williams was on set when they were shooting the movie lol
This movie needs more recognition and viewers. It's so great to see someone like Mark Wahlberg in this role and to also acknowledge and give such respect to those who do such hard and honest labor and work.
im offshore in Norway in this moment i write this moment, and this will never be forgotten to me. Yes its dangerous, but i really love my job.
Any jobs🤣
Its crazy to see , Mark change in his life from a young man in the rap industry , model , actor , family man..
Wow...his acting has changed alot ..
stop calling mark drunk. that's just his persona
Pain killers I'll bet. He is a very physical actor after all.
when you save your own life , that's being human , when you save someone else's , that's a hero.
I never was a fan of mark wahlberg as an actor. I always just felt like he wasn’t really of any value artistically, since he pretty much acts the same in every movie he’s in. But now I see him as somebody who tells the great stories of the brave men that often get overlooked.
Notice how all of the real heros never want to be called a hero? Chris Kyle, Marcus Luttrel, Mike, etc.
Why?
@@seanjohn2312 They don’t do it for the recognition.
Yeah but it's a cliche when they say I am not a hero. You know they actually think they are
@@jamesbyrne9312 they are heroes so what does it matter
@@Dat4valveGuy Its in bad taste to be falsely modest, its sickening, they are just asking for attention
Just finished the movie, I'm in tears, condolence to all who lost someone because of it.
I just watched this as well for the first time.... Never Even heard of this powerful movie.
It is an incredible story. He saved people and then jumped into water that was on fire....
Right.... Deeply Emotional Movie.. I wasn't even aware of Any of this... But they are Quick to cover who is sexing who and other BS.... Sad Story but Inspirational.
I love Mike, nobody , unless they went through what he did,will ever fully understand what he went through that terrible night,God bless you Mike you are one of my heroes.the movie certainly put the human element back in this for me,so then I had to find every thing about this terrible accident.crazy anyone survived.
That was one of the most infuriating things about that horrible event. All anyone wanted to talk about was the environmental impact. I can recall one.... ONE.... story about the lives lost. Most don't have a clue.
Dont have a clue about those people that lost their lives ?
Well millions of animals lost their lives too
@@Elliott_Elliott and so did 11 people due to corporate mismanagement.
@@thescottishanimeguy9946 the animals are all that really matter
At first when I read the title I thought that this may be kind of awkward but after watching I realized that it really wasn't
I like how he said the term hero is irrelevant, they were just doing their job to survive. Hero to me doesn't need to be labeled .
That’s crazy when he mentions they discovered new regulations while they drilled
That spill caused a cluster of illness in surrounding coastal towns, many having to do with oil consuming fungus sprayed too besides Corexit dispersants.
Thank you for your services despite the risks... you power the world
I just watched this movie tonight. Holy crap it effected me more then I thought it would.
The Deepwater Horizon rig was also technically a vessel. Were there thorough BUI and BUI-D investigations, including any operators of vital heavy machinery inherent to the safe operation of the vessel following the disaster? What is the macro positive illicit drug test rate within the oil and gas industry, as well as within the subset of maritime rig operations?
The RUclips comment section doesn't know.
A really humble, soft spoken man. A gem.. A really humble, soft spoken man. A gem..
Mike is so humble. He may not want the badge. But in my opinion working on the movie set was also heroic. R.I.P. to those 11 men.
It was a hard movie to watch, knowing that eleven people died during the disaster. Those guys were just doing their jobs. This wasn't a Michael Bay-style disaster extravaganza, it realistically showed a horrific industrial accident that never should have happened.
For reference, a huge oil field consists of roughly 250+ million barrels of oil. Roughly that amount “spilled” out through the disaster at deepwater horizon. They were exploring and drilling an oil field of about 3-4 billion barrels of oil, insane riches involved so the story becomes clearer and clearer
Sad. Still. Sorry for all the losses. And shame on those individuals that knew there was something wrong with this project and never stopped and took the time to fix it..
thanks to this movie for actually showing the human tragedies of deepwater horizon. Everyone talks about the oil spill and environmental disaster and not the fact that 11 people just died and many more barely survived the incident.
Top Movie & Documentary 👏
One more disaster in a line of disasters that should never have happened, at all. Greedy company men cutting corners because they don’t want to spend money, and innocent people die. Deepwater Horizon, Bhopal, countless air crashes, Texas Oil refinery...
God bless anyone who works on an oil rig❤
god isnt real so stfu
@@ElDoctorNasamua can a person like, care about others without people saying negative shit like what you just said? people die doing dangerous work so at least be grateful that someone fucking cares. I don't believe in God but that doesn't mean I tell people that God isn't real, just accept it and move on.
yeah, god bless everyone. hell, may the odds be with everyone and anyone doing dangerous work
@@yuko6794 bro you play gacha life or whatever that shit is, like stfu
🙏
Before the Deepwater Horizon blowout, there were other near misses within the industry that the public never heard about. The industry was complacent and a tragedy was inevitable. This was a tough lesson to learn, but it will be forgotten as the years go by.
The heroism of the average man is really something.
This typa stuff helps you remember there's more good than bad people
I know none of you will believe me but that is my step-uncle.
Jonathan Bavlnka mark walberg or mike
mike
He seems like a very bright, caring guy
Jonathan Bavlnka obviously you have no idea how oil field work goes and have suffered the luxury that oil field gives you-so zero people care about your relation to someone and strife. Care about bigger things, if you are capable.
@@sassichembunni STFU. Jonathan is a child, not an adult. He's speaking of his relations to a great man. Go find somewhere else to Virtue Signal.
The selfish way BP so easily abandoned their responsibility is unimaginable. Survivors were met with waivers to sign, not an apology...SCREAMING guilt. God bless those impacted by this disaster.
I legitimately had no idea anyone even died from this until I saw the movie. I was just under the assumption it was a huge environmental catastrophe, which it was, but I never remember reading people died. Thats on me, but, thats also on the media.
Interviewer: “Mark, tell us a little bit how you found inspiration for acting this movie”.
Mark: “oh, I just acted the same how I act in every movie”.
The fact that they went to charge BP officials with manslaughter and then quietly walked it back a couple years later speaks volumes about the state of our government and judicial system.
Disgusting.
I see a very sharp intelligence behind Mike's eyes.
Discrimination is not a right. He was the chief electrician, you can't get that job by being a dummy
I was on that rig about 8 months or so before the accident
why does wahlberg sound high af?
Michael K I noticed that too hahah
Michael K he sounds more like he's drunk
Anti-anxiety medication perhaps? Benzodiazepines work on the same receptors as alcohol (GABA).
hahaha dude I legit thought during the interview "is this dude on painkillers?"
Spending too much time with ted probably
I just watched the movie and it was great but I don’t know how to feel
I was working offshore on an oil rig at the same time this accident happened. And for the same company, although in Brazil. At that time, every yank (sorry, calling someone a yank is not offensive in Brazil) on the rig knew someone that worked there. There was a feeling of loss among the ex-pats, and that feeling went on for the rest of our tour. Oil rig workers deserve a lot more credit than they get.
This movie was awesome. I’ve seen it multiple times. I don’t understand why it flopped.
The disrespect we're showing this planet is just disgusting.
A really humble, soft spoken man. A gem.
One of the greatest Movies ever
Yeah.... The Best one's are Never spoken of. Just buried & hidden.
Let’s not play the high horse card about greed being the factor to all these man made disasters. Somebody has got to do the dirty work and put their life on the line so the rest of us can live comfortably. If you are not part of the solution please don’t be a part of the problem and that include complaining. Invent something which you think is viable and sustainable or else shut the hell up!
Like a slightly larger emphasis on safety? A little fewer profits? This was more than just an unfortunate accident.
A series of safety compromises and straight up mistakes were made, even accounting for the unprecedented circumstances. Rules are often written in blood and many in production seem to forget that.
clown 🤡
0:23 do you think he was disappointed because he had hair
So powerful...
God Bless America...... " God Shed his Grace on thee... Through Brotherhood.. From Sea to Shining Sea".....
Marky mark is a man's man
Marc looks very statesman like with that hair
What happened to those 11 men was just horrible way to go. ☺ and let's hope that maybe in 50 years time we would retell this story again and again and maybe even one day in the near future there will be superheros who will be there to stop desatiors from happening again. Let's hope so.☺
Look at the westray disaster in Pictou county Nova Scotia in may 1992...
More to the point how much of the money the film made at the box office .. was given to the families of those who lost people on the the rig ..
The movie lost money.
Better question is how much did BP give to the families?
Making a film about a disaster like this doesn’t mean you need to donate the proceeds to victims or anyone, the filmmakers are making a film. The company responsible for rushing and being negligent causing human harm is responsible for fully compensating victims and/or jail time. Any move to give the money to the families from the film would just be a kindhearted gesture, they’re not entitled to all the media money surrounding the disaster
Mike Williams was a paid person on the movie set, he was there the whole time. That's why he's in this interview with Mark. None of the other survivors would speak to them at all, BP intimidated them all into silence. All the rig survivors got big payouts in settlemets with BP and transocean, with those who died, their families, getting more than any other party. Mike got paid from that, and from the production of this movie.
Say what you like about BP or the “roughnecks” but you have no clue what horrors they heard & saw & felt that fateful day/night. In the fight of their lives.
Rip to the 11 men who went to work expecting to do a good job but lost their lives in an unfortunate accident
What a guy!!!
Why didn’t Mike pull his STOP WORK CARD?
In incongruent part of this interview was this real man talking to two Hollyweidos. Did that second guy have eye shadow and lipstick on?
Who was blamed for the disaster? Did the movie really give what happened that night justice?
No offense but they don't look anything alive Kurt Russell would have made more sense playing Mike Williams
But I het it mark is the bigger actor at this point an mike is the main story
Walberg's feelin' no pain...
It wasn't his fault he seems to blame himself understandable but the rig malfunctioned it said no pressure but there was how could you guys know you couldn't it was the rig not you guys.
Ryan Scherbluk we as the research team are responsible for whatever happens in front of our machinery so, that is why we claim responsibility and public eye for how things go down. Are you not responsible for the people that are beneath you?
They look so alike…
He is a hero
Now we need someone in Hollywood to make a real life movie on the horrors, deaths , child labor, associated with the mining of precious minerals for the car batteries in the third world countries
The evidence was buried!
0:50 only men died on Deepwater Horizon.
Women were on that rig as well. Triggered much, snowflake?
Im no sissy but im tearing up over listening to the real Mike.
Wahlberg is half in the bag.
lostintechnicolor ' haha i reckon too'!
Which ones which? I can't tell, they're like twins.
Smullet90 how ??
Well BP pd him how to not implicate BP
Not one of the +100 personnel pulled a “stop work”card!
Having worked as a safety officer offshore they are still taking enormous risks because of being too cool and $$$$$.
is walberg on downers?
batz capo he sounds drugged out
4:02 slurrin like a bitch
I believe he is just trying to be low key and not take away from what the man he is speaking with has been through. One can never tell what another is feeling or going through without Being that person. To speculate is to assume.. and to assume anything without proof is usually asinine. Always try to think of how you have felt when you have been prejudged by others..
Came here to say this. He seems drunk...
batz capo try a sip of humble, my keyboard warrior....you will understand what the titled know.
He played a good thief in Italian job
IS Mark Wahlberg High or what?
Is it me? Or does Mark seem high & uninvested in doing this interview?
It’s so interesting to talk to people that have real jobs. How insulting
Was mark drunk while doing this interview?!
You went to work in an environment where you knew it was ready to blow up at any minute but you still went back.
Jimmy died from cancer from this event.
Reading a script
Mark Wahlberg still drunk ?
Question: how happy can we be to earn as much money as we can for our owners in order to make them happy ? Thats stupid.. who cares.. sorry.
