@kremepye3613 thanks. he is retired now as of last year. But he dedicated his life to making the oil and gas sector safer. stopping leaks and preventing them on the most high pressure, critical applications. and the company goes on
@@taylorlbrittonUnlike the Gretas of the universe.🙄 These types of conservationists are our unsung heroes. If you don't mind me asking, what type of company was it? It must have been quite an outfit in order to be able to respond to a disaster like that.
@Nylon_riot I guess i dont mind self doxing for something so innocent. Its called Integra Technologies, you can look it up. They are a controlled bolting service company that service flanges etc, bolt high pressure applications with hydraulic wrenches etc. But also manufacture and sell hydraulic nuts of various types. So when a flange in a high pressure pipe on the sea floor or in a refinery goes they can fix that. But they also do leak prevention, have fancy tech to make flanges safer, and monitoring systems etc to stop leaks before they happen For deepwater they had already designed tools for bolting that were nickle plated and intended to be handled by an ROV. So to seal the one pipe that no one could stop leaking, basically a big sheath that was bigger than the pipe went over it, and then was bolted with their ROV handled hydraulic nuts (I think it was the Sea Stallion unibody nuts but im not positive, it was like 15 years ago and i wasnt working there at the time).
I worked in the oil and gas industry in Kansas and Oklahoma. I started on what is called a pulling unit, pulling and repairing relatively shallow oil and natural gas wells. Then, I moved on to a mobile single stand drilling rig. I worked on small shallow stuff in Kansas until I moved to the panhandle of Oklahoma, where I started working on a triple stand drilling rig for Bronco Drilling. In Kansas, the deepest I think we drilled was 6,000-8,000 ft. In Oklahoma, we drilled 30,000-40,000 feet deep and then 10's of thousands of feet horizontally. Drilling is an awesome science. After my daughter was born, I left the drilling rigs and began working as a pumper and driving a tanker semi hauling saltwater off of the oil wells. What most people dont know is that all the water below the fresh water table is saltwater.
@MattH-wg7ou I just looked back, and I my memory was off a little bit. We were drilling between 20,000-30,000 ft deep and then horizontally. We didn't drill quite as deep as I thought. My bad.
@dustinfrey3067 Hey bud, I think you're misremembering. In the Barnett Shale (and most other land rigs) you'll typically go about 3 to 5k deep before kicking off and going horizontal, usually TD'ing around 20 to 25k.
The entire drilling horizontal thing reminds me of those old Warner Bros cartoon were oil drillers were stealing oil form land not underneath the actual well..
If operating an oil rig costs of half a million dollars per day, I’m not surprised that people cut corners. People cut corners at McDonald’s to make a burger that costs a few bucks.
I worked for this company as well as others. It costs well over a million dollars to operate an active drilling rig, often running up as high as five million(depending on size of rig and depth of water.) I know very well what happened on this rig and it’s happened many times before but they kept getting away with it. They didn’t this time.
@@Randomguy-b5r Yes, that's what has always annoyed me about large companies. They squeeze a dime at the risk of losing a million. seems fairly stupid. but it's probably due to the lower management having to meet "quotas and budgets"... although, that comes from higher up. too.
I was a commercial fishermen in Pensacola running a blue and stone crab boat when the rig blew. We all worked the clean up. It was a fvking disaster. People passing out in tyvec suits in the heat, one boat driving through a plum of fumes had everyone on the bridge falling down and passing out. The shit we were cleaning up eat would eat through the suit somehow and your skin would just be red burning. We watched the contractors go out under the cover of night to spray the dispersant to sink the oil on our fishing grounds before it could coat the beach with more goo. God damn crying just thinking about it.
@@Raegusand I’m sure if Trey and Parker saw this video and their clips usage they would laugh along with us instead of trying to copyright it into the ground
You forgot one major culprit. The ecological damage didn't have to be as bad as it was. If a certain dil-doh with ears hadn't used a 1902 law to bar Russia and France (who had much better ships for the job) from helping contain the spill. Thanks Obama.
Come on, don't be racist! Don't you know he was the most qualified for presidency of the USA? He was literally *black*! Or at least I've been told that this made him qualified and doubting this in any capacity is supposedly racist... Besides, his party is the one claiming to care about environmental concerns, right? I mean, except when it comes to water pollution (batteries and solar panel), visual pollution (wind turbines), the incredibly underestimated noise pollution (wind turbines again), environment radical modification (dams) etc
@@Escalusfr all US president fucking suck and are hypocrites it's not exclusive to the blue guys. Obama was nothing special, either in good or bad. Just another corporate puppet.
I swear you can tell exactly where someone gets their BS information by some of these comments 😂. If you took the time to go back and actually look at what happened the amount of oil was severely under calculated which is why initially it wasn’t taken as serious. They thought it was something like 1000 barrels of oil a day when in reality it was 60,000 barrels a day leaking into the ocean. This is a disingenuous comment and just shows how biased and uneducated you are.
@@Escalusfr Even with the current issues, batteries and solar panels still create far less pollution than fossil fuels... just as fossil fuels created less pollution than horses (seriously, the sheer amount of "road apples" in a major city was a huge issue). As for wind turbines... what "visual pollution?" You don't like the look of them? Is that seriously the biggest complaint you can make about them?
I think what made me so angry about this case are the workers and animals killed by this disaster and yet, none of the fat cats of BP went to prison. As for you next subject of Mad Lads, I would suggest you cover the story of the demon nurse, aka, Charles Cullen
especially when you consider that this all happened because B.P. wanted to save Money by using a grade of Concrete that the Labs told them would not be sufficient for the task.
@ligcapsized. Not just that, they were told to use, iirc 18 "stabilizers" in the well to help control integrity, supposedly they used 6..6..1/3rd the recommendation.
I lived in Tampa when this happened. Even though we were a few hundred miles away, the air smelled like burning crayons for DAYS. The smell was SO strong. We smelled it before we found out about the fire. Can't imagine how bad it was at the actual platform.
I work at the company Fike that made a solution to fix this disaster, we worked and made a disc and expedited it out. Got the call Friday, and we engineered a product and had it headed to the Gulf Saturday. Rupture Discs meant to divert pressure, instead of catastrophic results.
Throw the corrupt EPA and Obama administration into the mix, and it's no wonder a well blew out. They wanted a ban on deep drilling... because those deep wells hold trillions of barrels of oil. Can't have the industry getting a reliable supply.
I used to work for the company that was responsible for maintaining those BOP's. Specifically, my company (Cameron) was responsible for taking BOPs out of service for usually about 6 months or so while major repairs were made. My Lead man was actually the man who proved that Cameron was not responsible for the disaster. Essentially, many BOPs go into and out of service for decades and decades. My facility worked on the deepwater horizon BOP, and my lead man was the final inspector on it too. Our work in repairing was essentially nullified because BP had made modifications to the design/installation that comprimised its integrity (I believe they said it was to maintain schedule and keep costs down). We kept all our inspection records, and can you believe it, expanded them afterwards. Those things in and of themselves are worth 250k a stack. Since then however, that entire plant has shut down.
I was at an engineering job fair years ago and overheard an oil company recruiter say "we don't want any fucking nerds out there" and all of a sudden it made sense why they fucked up.
As a guy that’s been in oilfield my entire life the amount of studying you have done for this video is pretty amazing. (Oil companies haven’t changed) drilling companies have tho.
Floridian here... A girl from my old high school lost a family member on that rig, I think her father, I'll never forget her cries 😔. BP was boycotted and so many seafood businesses were destroyed and little to any compensation for it. We couldn't use beaches and had many volunteer efforts to clean the animals and areas affected all along the coast. But so much was destroyed. To this day I think those bastards responsible got off way too damn easy... Many men and animals died for oil and greed. 😠
I knew of this story for a while, but it wasn't until I was in my Mos school in the military that I learned more about it. Cause my Mos was being a fueler, and I had to learn about cleaning up fuel and oil spills and how to clean them.
Holy hell, Dank. This video felt like Ai. repeated CLEAR information over and over. It was quite distracting, I kept thinking I accidentally skipped back on the video.
Finally getting a comment that mentions this. Like how many times do we have to hear about advanced positioning systems and their ability to keep the rig in place even in rough seas? Script definitely written by a chatbot. Really hate to say it, but I gotta stick to my principals. Goodbye count.
@@midoribookstore I don't think so, usually when he does that sort of thing he'll give a tongue-in-cheek nod to it, like pausing half a second longer before or after he gives the factoid for the fourth time or just outright acknowledging it. To stretch it to give benefit of the doubt maybe he was doing it as a knock at people who listen to this sort of video essay content and not really listen to it but have it on in the background, but then it's not really going to land with then in the first place since they're not really paying attention, you know?
My Uncle was an Electrical Engineer by trade and was on the sister rig during the disaster. He talked about some of the outrageous bullshit they would have to deal with. For example, the breaker panels were placed on a wall approximately 1ft from some run-through piping, meaning you couldn't fully open the breaker panel door to interface with the breakers. If there were issues, they would have to use power tools to remove the door to work on the panel. They weren't allowed to leave the door off because this was a violation, so they would be required to re-attach the door when work was done.
@@Off-HandedBarrelEveryone, even oil companies, have the right to an attorney to defend them. Of course, BP probably paid for a good lawyer to defend them and he needed the money.

100%. I've seen too much to accept unfettered Capitalism as a viable and healthy longterm model. The top-down command economy model of the Soviets is now the ingrained image of socialism, and obviously a fruitless model, far too open to corruption at single points of failure. However, I could see an avenue of bottom up action via unions and worker co-operatives being a potential viable avenue that keeps a lot of Capitalism's inate benefits but changes incentives from being purely on an increasing small and elite asset owning oligarch class.
I long thought the Deepwater Horizon disaster was overblown, but knowing you as a trustworthy guy who's buddy is also a deep sea drill worker? You changed my mind.
I grew up in Mississippi and lived right down the road from the family of one of the workers that died. I was only a kid at the time but remember how sad it was each day hearing no news of if this family’s father had been found. Now, 14 years later and I’m older than he was he was when he died and it’s a shame that he died so young when his life was just getting started.
Fun Fact. Leeboy (A paving equipment manufacturer) got contracted by BP to make and bought tons of the machines that were used to clean the beaches that would rip up the sand and separate the oil from the sand and put back the cleaned sand. It was called the Land Shark and is a highly modified version of the machine known as a Chip Spreader used in paving. They painted it a different color and even cut out a shark fin they welded on top of the machine. They worked people in the plant 7 days a week to rush as many of the machines out as possible to get them on the ground as soon as possible. Signed, Someone who worked for Leeboy for a number of years.
I was thinking the same thing, repeating that the rig holds position without ankers three times in 90 seconds, the script definitely needed a bit more work.
It is a really well done movie and pretty fair telling of the tale. It does a good job of showing the complicated chain of authority. Jason Anderson is a legit hero as were many others onboard and in and on the water around them.
@@jw70467 when I first heard they were making the movie I was afraid it was just going to be an environmental lecturing standing on top of the grave of the poor soul and brave souls that were a part of it. I was genuinely and happily surprised that it was actually just about the people, and the environmental impact was the background, and not the other way around
My dad was a master mariner for many years and after mastering dynamic positioning in the early-to-mid 2000s, spent the last decade of his career moving to smaller and smaller vessels as his pay exponentially increased. It's not just about sticking to one spot on the map - with the right data and programming you can constantly follow a surface temperature gradient and run massively productive shellfish hatcheries onboard ships. Factory farming oysters and abalone for fun and profit. It was a far cry from the 1980's when he had to use the cocked-hat method to triangulate bearings on a paper map from the reciprocal of a radiocompass heading pointed at designated TV and radio towers onshore, or the 1970's when he was trained on an astrolabe and sextant.

A thing to take note of when the oil industry began the United States Revenues Commission (The Proto-IRS) wanted to regulate the industry, warning them that they run out of oil within the decade.
*Fun Story:* I was in middle school when this event happened. At the time, we were learning about Australia in World History, and we were given an assignment to do a report on a then-recent Australian news story. I did my report on a ship that tipped over and spilled oil into the Great Barrier Reef (though it left no lasting damage). I come into class the next day, and everyone's talking about the BP oil spill. I didn't hear about it before that moment, so I just thought they were talking about the spill from my report. It was weird leading that there was a second, more catastrophic oil spill that happened around the same time as mine.
I was a drilling engineer and well site supervisor on Deepwater rigs and I expected to find lots of technical errors in the video (like when I watch something about the oilfield on the news) but your were spot on. Great video.
Am I the only one who feels like this script was wrote by AI this time? He's said the same phrases like 15 times in nearly the same way and I'm not even halfway through. This doesn't feel like a normal video from him.
The reason the BOP failed was that they were playing Russian Rollet with it. It was perfectly capable of cutting the pipe. Completely incapable of cutting the pipe CONNECTOR between sections of the pipe. The one live bullet. There was a 5/6 chance this wouldn't happen.
This whole debacle was a clusterfuck from top to bottom. I live on the gulf coast and remember being so mad i drove to the hiring and working beaches for cleanup thinking i might see a man with a BP suit on or something to give a beating to. It didnt happen though. But just google Destin beach or Pensacola beach, the sand here is white as snow! Oil on the beaches, wetlands and harbors, and wildlife would kill our communities, so it crossed my mind to do the same to BP?

My fathers company (that he recently sold) stopped the leak. Shame was, they were trying to get the chance to help from day one (i remember sharing the news article with my dad). But their bid had trouble getting through all the noise
Your father's a hero
@kremepye3613 thanks. he is retired now as of last year. But he dedicated his life to making the oil and gas sector safer. stopping leaks and preventing them on the most high pressure, critical applications. and the company goes on
@@taylorlbrittonUnlike the Gretas of the universe.🙄 These types of conservationists are our unsung heroes.
If you don't mind me asking, what type of company was it? It must have been quite an outfit in order to be able to respond to a disaster like that.
@Nylon_riot I guess i dont mind self doxing for something so innocent. Its called Integra Technologies, you can look it up. They are a controlled bolting service company that service flanges etc, bolt high pressure applications with hydraulic wrenches etc. But also manufacture and sell hydraulic nuts of various types. So when a flange in a high pressure pipe on the sea floor or in a refinery goes they can fix that. But they also do leak prevention, have fancy tech to make flanges safer, and monitoring systems etc to stop leaks before they happen
For deepwater they had already designed tools for bolting that were nickle plated and intended to be handled by an ROV. So to seal the one pipe that no one could stop leaking, basically a big sheath that was bigger than the pipe went over it, and then was bolted with their ROV handled hydraulic nuts (I think it was the Sea Stallion unibody nuts but im not positive, it was like 15 years ago and i wasnt working there at the time).
@@Nylon_riot What part of omitting the name did you not understand?
I worked in the oil and gas industry in Kansas and Oklahoma. I started on what is called a pulling unit, pulling and repairing relatively shallow oil and natural gas wells. Then, I moved on to a mobile single stand drilling rig. I worked on small shallow stuff in Kansas until I moved to the panhandle of Oklahoma, where I started working on a triple stand drilling rig for Bronco Drilling. In Kansas, the deepest I think we drilled was 6,000-8,000 ft. In Oklahoma, we drilled 30,000-40,000 feet deep and then 10's of thousands of feet horizontally. Drilling is an awesome science. After my daughter was born, I left the drilling rigs and began working as a pumper and driving a tanker semi hauling saltwater off of the oil wells. What most people dont know is that all the water below the fresh water table is saltwater.
Daaang 30-40k ft?! Thats wild!
@MattH-wg7ou I just looked back, and I my memory was off a little bit. We were drilling between 20,000-30,000 ft deep and then horizontally. We didn't drill quite as deep as I thought. My bad.
@dustinfrey3067 Hey bud, I think you're misremembering. In the Barnett Shale (and most other land rigs) you'll typically go about 3 to 5k deep before kicking off and going horizontal, usually TD'ing around 20 to 25k.
@@dustinfrey3067 still crazy impressive!
And thanks for the correction! Rare to find in many YT commenters. 👍
The entire drilling horizontal thing reminds me of those old Warner Bros cartoon were oil drillers were stealing oil form land not underneath the actual well..
If operating an oil rig costs of half a million dollars per day, I’m not surprised that people cut corners. People cut corners at McDonald’s to make a burger that costs a few bucks.
@@samuelturner6261 every job I have ever had I have been expected to cut corners, so yeah, I can believe it.
I worked for this company as well as others. It costs well over a million dollars to operate an active drilling rig, often running up as high as five million(depending on size of rig and depth of water.) I know very well what happened on this rig and it’s happened many times before but they kept getting away with it. They didn’t this time.
Compared to what they make selling that oil, it's pocket money.
@@Randomguy-b5r Yes, that's what has always annoyed me about large companies. They squeeze a dime at the risk of losing a million. seems fairly stupid. but it's probably due to the lower management having to meet "quotas and budgets"... although, that comes from higher up. too.
I was a commercial fishermen in Pensacola running a blue and stone crab boat when the rig blew. We all worked the clean up. It was a fvking disaster. People passing out in tyvec suits in the heat, one boat driving through a plum of fumes had everyone on the bridge falling down and passing out. The shit we were cleaning up eat would eat through the suit somehow and your skin would just be red burning. We watched the contractors go out under the cover of night to spray the dispersant to sink the oil on our fishing grounds before it could coat the beach with more goo. God damn crying just thinking about it.
The south park skit on the disaster has to be one of the funniest skits I've ever watched.
The "sowwy" bit never gets old. It's a pure gem.

You forgot one major culprit. The ecological damage didn't have to be as bad as it was. If a certain dil-doh with ears hadn't used a 1902 law to bar Russia and France (who had much better ships for the job) from helping contain the spill. Thanks Obama.
Come on, don't be racist! Don't you know he was the most qualified for presidency of the USA? He was literally *black*! Or at least I've been told that this made him qualified and doubting this in any capacity is supposedly racist...
Besides, his party is the one claiming to care about environmental concerns, right? I mean, except when it comes to water pollution (batteries and solar panel), visual pollution (wind turbines), the incredibly underestimated noise pollution (wind turbines again), environment radical modification (dams) etc
@@Escalusfr all US president fucking suck and are hypocrites it's not exclusive to the blue guys. Obama was nothing special, either in good or bad. Just another corporate puppet.
I swear you can tell exactly where someone gets their BS information by some of these comments 😂. If you took the time to go back and actually look at what happened the amount of oil was severely under calculated which is why initially it wasn’t taken as serious. They thought it was something like 1000 barrels of oil a day when in reality it was 60,000 barrels a day leaking into the ocean. This is a disingenuous comment and just shows how biased and uneducated you are.
I love the sarcasm and truth, all at once @@Escalusfr
@@Escalusfr Even with the current issues, batteries and solar panels still create far less pollution than fossil fuels... just as fossil fuels created less pollution than horses (seriously, the sheer amount of "road apples" in a major city was a huge issue).
As for wind turbines... what "visual pollution?" You don't like the look of them? Is that seriously the biggest complaint you can make about them?

I think what made me so angry about this case are the workers and animals killed by this disaster and yet, none of the fat cats of BP went to prison.
As for you next subject of Mad Lads, I would suggest you cover the story of the demon nurse, aka, Charles Cullen
especially when you consider that this all happened because B.P. wanted to save Money by using a grade of Concrete that the Labs told them would not be sufficient for the task.
The people you want to go to prison - the fat cats - were nowhere near the actual decisions.
@ligcapsized. Not just that, they were told to use, iirc 18 "stabilizers" in the well to help control integrity, supposedly they used 6..6..1/3rd the recommendation.
@@jw70467 then why the fuck are they getting payed so much if they are at the head of the company they should take responsibility
I lived in Tampa when this happened. Even though we were a few hundred miles away, the air smelled like burning crayons for DAYS. The smell was SO strong. We smelled it before we found out about the fire. Can't imagine how bad it was at the actual platform.
I work at the company Fike that made a solution to fix this disaster, we worked and made a disc and expedited it out. Got the call Friday, and we engineered a product and had it headed to the Gulf Saturday. Rupture Discs meant to divert pressure, instead of catastrophic results.
Oil companies and Haliburton. Why am I not surprised.
Throw the corrupt EPA and Obama administration into the mix, and it's no wonder a well blew out.
They wanted a ban on deep drilling... because those deep wells hold trillions of barrels of oil.
Can't have the industry getting a reliable supply.
I used to work for the company that was responsible for maintaining those BOP's. Specifically, my company (Cameron) was responsible for taking BOPs out of service for usually about 6 months or so while major repairs were made. My Lead man was actually the man who proved that Cameron was not responsible for the disaster. Essentially, many BOPs go into and out of service for decades and decades. My facility worked on the deepwater horizon BOP, and my lead man was the final inspector on it too. Our work in repairing was essentially nullified because BP had made modifications to the design/installation that comprimised its integrity (I believe they said it was to maintain schedule and keep costs down). We kept all our inspection records, and can you believe it, expanded them afterwards. Those things in and of themselves are worth 250k a stack.
Since then however, that entire plant has shut down.
It's crazy to think that deep water horizon was made for less money than sony's concord 😂😂
I was at an engineering job fair years ago and overheard an oil company recruiter say "we don't want any fucking nerds out there" and all of a sudden it made sense why they fucked up.
As a guy that’s been in oilfield my entire life the amount of studying you have done for this video is pretty amazing.

Floridian here... A girl from my old high school lost a family member on that rig, I think her father, I'll never forget her cries 😔. BP was boycotted and so many seafood businesses were destroyed and little to any compensation for it. We couldn't use beaches and had many volunteer efforts to clean the animals and areas affected all along the coast. But so much was destroyed. To this day I think those bastards responsible got off way too damn easy... Many men and animals died for oil and greed. 😠

A Count Dankula video on Deep water Horizon... A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Think the script needed another once-over this time. It had a few repetitive parts.
Oh good it wasn’t just me, I thought I was just hearing things.
Just padding that run time
Written by Ai
Its not the script, probably the editing
Take a shot every time he repeats the marvels of positioning
Is it just me or did Dank mention "Dynamic Positioning" about what feels like six times throughout the video, and (re-)explained it half of the time?
Yes. He did.
Was the script not reviewed or just written by chat GPT. I swear you mentioned and explained DPS 3 times in 15min
good thing it wasn't called the shallowwater Horizon disaster, boy someone sure got fired over that one
Holy hell, Dank.
This video felt like Ai. repeated CLEAR information over and over. It was quite distracting, I kept thinking I accidentally skipped back on the video.
Finally getting a comment that mentions this. Like how many times do we have to hear about advanced positioning systems and their ability to keep the rig in place even in rough seas?
Script definitely written by a chatbot. Really hate to say it, but I gotta stick to my principals. Goodbye count.
@@kadewiedeman3127 you don't think he did that shit on purpose?
@@midoribookstore I don't think so, usually when he does that sort of thing he'll give a tongue-in-cheek nod to it, like pausing half a second longer before or after he gives the factoid for the fourth time or just outright acknowledging it.
To stretch it to give benefit of the doubt maybe he was doing it as a knock at people who listen to this sort of video essay content and not really listen to it but have it on in the background, but then it's not really going to land with then in the first place since they're not really paying attention, you know?
@@kadewiedeman3127 Or the more obvious answer: it's to pad run time
Anything can be bought and sold for the right OIL!!!
My Uncle was an Electrical Engineer by trade and was on the sister rig during the disaster. He talked about some of the outrageous bullshit they would have to deal with. For example, the breaker panels were placed on a wall approximately 1ft from some run-through piping, meaning you couldn't fully open the breaker panel door to interface with the breakers. If there were issues, they would have to use power tools to remove the door to work on the panel. They weren't allowed to leave the door off because this was a violation, so they would be required to re-attach the door when work was done.
Guy who taught my history class defended BP after this event. Told us that he entered that courtroom as the most hated man in the us”
What an idiot. What'd he think defending an Oil Company after the Exxon Valdeez was gonna be like?
@@Off-HandedBarrelEveryone, even oil companies, have the right to an attorney to defend them. Of course, BP probably paid for a good lawyer to defend them and he needed the money.

100%. I've seen too much to accept unfettered Capitalism as a viable and healthy longterm model.
The top-down command economy model of the Soviets is now the ingrained image of socialism, and obviously a fruitless model, far too open to corruption at single points of failure. However, I could see an avenue of bottom up action via unions and worker co-operatives being a potential viable avenue that keeps a lot of Capitalism's inate benefits but changes incentives from being purely on an increasing small and elite asset owning oligarch class.

I grew up in Mississippi and lived right down the road from the family of one of the workers that died. I was only a kid at the time but remember how sad it was each day hearing no news of if this family’s father had been found. Now, 14 years later and I’m older than he was he was when he died and it’s a shame that he died so young when his life was just getting started.
Fun Fact. Leeboy (A paving equipment manufacturer) got contracted by BP to make and bought tons of the machines that were used to clean the beaches that would rip up the sand and separate the oil from the sand and put back the cleaned sand. It was called the Land Shark and is a highly modified version of the machine known as a Chip Spreader used in paving. They painted it a different color and even cut out a shark fin they welded on top of the machine. They worked people in the plant 7 days a week to rush as many of the machines out as possible to get them on the ground as soon as possible.
Signed, Someone who worked for Leeboy for a number of years.
Not sure but his script felt written by Ai a lot of repetition.
I was thinking the same thing, repeating that the rig holds position without ankers three times in 90 seconds, the script definitely needed a bit more work.
thank you for explaining everything in such detail, very nice video red baron
Interesting, the company that makes my Dad’s hot hatch also made the most infamous oil rig to ever grace the sea, fun.
Dude, what the hell I was watching the movie Deepwater Horizon last night
It is a really well done movie and pretty fair telling of the tale. It does a good job of showing the complicated chain of authority. Jason Anderson is a legit hero as were many others onboard and in and on the water around them.
Great movie. I’m going to watch it again right now
@@jw70467 when I first heard they were making the movie I was afraid it was just going to be an environmental lecturing standing on top of the grave of the poor soul and brave souls that were a part of it. I was genuinely and happily surprised that it was actually just about the people, and the environmental impact was the background, and not the other way around
My dad was a master mariner for many years and after mastering dynamic positioning in the early-to-mid 2000s, spent the last decade of his career moving to smaller and smaller vessels as his pay exponentially increased. It's not just about sticking to one spot on the map - with the right data and programming you can constantly follow a surface temperature gradient and run massively productive shellfish hatcheries onboard ships. Factory farming oysters and abalone for fun and profit. It was a far cry from the 1980's when he had to use the cocked-hat method to triangulate bearings on a paper map from the reciprocal of a radiocompass heading pointed at designated TV and radio towers onshore, or the 1970's when he was trained on an astrolabe and sextant.
The movie based on in it is pretty great. Bit exaggerated but the special effects are pretty awesome

Thank you for continuing to cover this disaster. Our communities are still fighting this war.
*Fun Story:* I was in middle school when this event happened. At the time, we were learning about Australia in World History, and we were given an assignment to do a report on a then-recent Australian news story. I did my report on a ship that tipped over and spilled oil into the Great Barrier Reef (though it left no lasting damage).
I come into class the next day, and everyone's talking about the BP oil spill. I didn't hear about it before that moment, so I just thought they were talking about the spill from my report.
It was weird leading that there was a second, more catastrophic oil spill that happened around the same time as mine.
I was a drilling engineer and well site supervisor on Deepwater rigs and I expected to find lots of technical errors in the video (like when I watch something about the oilfield on the news) but your were spot on. Great video.
