Two things that get left out of this story. The big one being, another rig was brought in. They directional drilled into that well bore. Killed the well, and plugged it. That’s amazing if you really think about it. The other is, the news kept reporting gallons per day flowing from the well. We don’t count fluid by gallons in the oilfield. We count by barrels. The news kept saying 60,000 gallons. It was flowing 60,000 barrels a day.

Initially the spill was reported at 20,000 bbl.s a day, which was increased surreptitiously during the spill. They knew the flowrate of the spill was 60,000 bbl.s a day from day one... I worked the Exxon Valdez spill - so many lies being told by the oil companies.

My husband survived a blowout. Eerily, his rig was not far from where Horizon was. Until I heard from him, I was a bundle of nerves. Pictures of the rig afterwards were scary. So much heat, it melted the derrick. When it first happened, the company he worked for called families to tell us about the blowout. Without any tact, they said, “we don’t know if there’s any survivors.”

I worked in the fishing industry in the gulf when this happened. It was so horrible seeing all the wildlife and marine life fighting for life. Not to mention the financial emergency it put us all into due to the fisheries being closed for so long. Many were going to the Atlantic or to the pacific to try to make a living. Long ride on a boat with a catch.

felt like learning something today. I didn't think I would learn something like this. How powerful. When it's on the news, it doesn't feel personal(unless it's affecting you.) and if it makes you upset you can turn the TV off. But the lives of 137 people and their families were massively affected that day, and this puts it into perspective. It's amazing how even in the face of danger, risking their lives in a way they hoped they never had to, the personnel onboard the horizon forgot themselves for a while and assumed their emergency responsibilities. what amazing people. To the rescue crew as well...must have been terrifying to approach that monster.

The explosion happened on my Wife's 55th birthday. She was working for the Govt (Minerals Management Service) at the time of the explosion. She remembers speaking with the Govt engineers whom she knew for 20 years in the gulf and feeling 'lied to' over the conversations about oil containment plans that they had when they actually had 'little or nothing to cap the well' She had her 30 years in, she "put in her papers' and retired soon after, before they finally were able to cap the well. This opened my eyes to just how potentially dangerous a job can be.

I hope the people on that thing got paid enough that they never have to see one of those things ever again

We're not supposed to drill these sites at all. That's why they're down there, where nature intended them to stay, undisturbed. Believing that the monetary gain from reaping oil from the seabed somehow outweighs the cost of environmental catastrophes and incalculable suffering and death is why this industry is doomed to fail. I'm not a bleeding heart, tree-hugging, Greenpeace liberal by any standards. I think most of the broad 'alternative energy' plans promoted by the Left (wind, solar etc.) are completely unrealistic in their real-world applications. But we have the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities to figure out clean and renewable energy solutions for almost every region on Earth, if that process was allowed to go unhindered by our elite overlords who buy up, suppress, and hoard clean energy patents like toilet paper before a hurricane and basically wipe their greedy a**es with them... while simultaneously laughing, as all of us little 'commoners' yell at each other and blame ourselves for still being dependant on fossil fuels. At least toilet paper eventually gets used for the purpose it was intended for.

You forgot the part that for 3 months that oil head gushed crude into the Gulf. Feet of sludge on the bottom killing all the life down there, globs the size of a city floating around killing fish washing into the wetlands.

I’m more sorry for the countless animals who died awful deaths due to this debacle, and all the people who had their livelihoods destroyed due to the spill. What makes me even sadder is knowing that nothing was done to punish the greedy men who caused this completely avoidable disaster.

Crazy stuff. Excellent video, I was engaged the whole time.

I watched the movie in class and it’s impossible to believe this was based off of a true story

That fire was the roaring fury of Earth.

Awesome video. Hope all affected are safe. Prayers

OMG that was horrifying. R. I. P. To the crew members who lost their lives that horrific night.

I'm English, and I live all your accents. And your totally bravery.

[Insert name here] is one lucky so-and-so. Each of these men and women have looked death right in the face and survived. What an astonishing experience.

So amazing how even though the whole thing was on fire and burning down these people that worked on it knew their lives were very much at risk but at the same time new they still had a job to do incase something like that happened and some still done or tried to do their job in the midst of the fire. God bless these brave guys.

Very true:(. Juan O Savin said there was more to that story! Someday he would discuss it. But not at this time:(.

I remember when this happened, I was in New Orleans, and within 24 hours we had already seen the first oil slicks. The current was fast moving, and unfortunately that meant that the oil was able to move at a much fast rate than anyone initially predicted. For a time, it wasn't even known if the well could be capped, being as far down as it was and there were serious fears the entire Gulf would become a dead zone. It was a very stressful 84 days for everyone.

Great documentary

These people didn't make "the ultimate sacrifice". They died because of negligence.

The voice at the end said the 11 dead “paid the ultimate price.” That’s a perfectly accurate statement.

Rig explosions, fires, capsizing/sinking, oil spills, and the loss of workers and marine lives have been the most catastrophic forms of offshore oil and gas drilling disasters in recorded history as per wikipedia. 👍👀😊

as I understand it, the movie was garbage; this is the truth.

First of all, my deepest condolences for the families that lost the lives of their loved ones in this horrific tragedy. As a clean up worker in Grand Isle, LA we were told in a debriefing that an exec for the drilling decided to save millions of dollars by having the outer core of the drilling shaft be filled with concrete that was mixed with salt water instead of fresh water. That caused the problem. Can any offshore oil rigger verify that to be the case, or have I've been lied to by BP? Thanks

True, BP USED salt water instead of FRESH WATER to mix the mud to seal The well. And bc of there NEGLIGENT ACTIONS 11 men lost their lives

I have skilled friends who sometimes consider working offshore and the more I learn and share, the less they want to go. They'd all rather be alive and poor than rich and dead. :)

Everything is dangerous. Especially oil field related. Bad thing about offshore is your off….shore, takes forever to get someone in if something happens or someone out to assist like in this case

These rigs need more life boats!

I remember being at a doctor's office, across the street from the Terrbonne general medical center, and hearing the helicopters bringing in the 8njured.

No disrespect to the workers but sea oil drilling should be illegal world wide. The cost and risk to the environment is too great

I still remember I was on a oil rig in BoHai bay, China, when Deepwater Horizon blow up. and few weeks later our rig suffered an massive blow out.
