I had a friend who worked as a contract, underwater maintenance diver for Riggs like this. He never got a chance to work on the Deepwater Horizon by after this event took place. He went to his boss and basically demanded that the contract with BPB terminated. Because he felt that if a company like that would put the safety of personnel and the environment at risk just to get some money, he wanted nothing to do with them. Thankfully, his boss apparently agreed and the company essentially severed all contracts with BP. And if I remember correctly, even to this day, the company refuses to work for BP. Instead, they work with other companies located in either the Gulf of Mexico, or even in places around the UK. The worst part, though, is this whole thing of the deep water horizon. This whole exact event could’ve been prevented if the so-called executives would’ve just stayed out of the way and let the men on the rig do their jobs. I don’t know if anything was ever actually done in court. But I feel that the executives of BP that were sent to the rig I believe all of them should’ve been arrested and charged with criminal negligence, manslaughter, and if there is such a thing environmental damage. The guys on the rig did their absolute best to try and contain the situation. And of course to make sure they and their brothers got off safely. Some of whom paid the ultimate price. No I’m not a tree hugger. But I can tell you that an event like this should have resulted in widespread and I do mean widespread and sweeping changes in the ways that petroleum companies are allowed to operate within territorial waters.

Just for ONE accident. If you're a smaller company with limited vehicles, the down time of the damaged or broken down vehicle and the inability to service the customers has long lasting implications. Safety FIRST. For your employee, for the public, for your equipment, and for your customers possessions. Spend the fucking money. Wanna save money? Buy fluids, tires, and spare parts in bulk.

First time seeing this movie, it was so satisfying when the guy from corporate asks what’s broken and Mike just rattles off a bunch of essential stuff. I feel like that exchange encapsulated the whole movie.

the amount of experience and swagger from doing this job so long just OOZES out of Kurt Russells character and i love it... so realistic.. anyone whos worked a job like this has seen a few Mr. Jimmies in their time. Master class acting

I worked for Transocean for 16 years on 4 different rigs... (Deepwater Pathfinder, Transocean Amirante, Discovered Clear Leader, and Deepwater Pontus...) 1. That's the cleanest rig crew I've ever seen, no one EVER had coveralls that neat and clean for more than a few days. 2. That's the cleanest I've ever seen a drill floor unless the rig was coming out of the shipyard and ain't never drilled a well. 3. That's the cleanest shaker house I've ever seen... even IN a ship yard!

Remember, you don't need any safety equipment, tests, regulations, fail-safes, oversight, etc., so long as you declare that you "believe" everything is good to go with an EXTREMELY confident look on your face! Just ask Stockton Rush.

“What do you owe him a lot of money” fantastic quote

I work in manufacturing, and it hurts how accurate this scene is to what real-life meetings are like with corporate.

"I worry about my rig. My crew lives on it, you just rent it" The crew is risking their lives, they're only risking money.

@@bellavia5 The guy that ordered the shut down and evacuations was one of the higher ups in BPs safety. He was brought in because of some safety concerns with BP and the Subcontractors that were not being addressed. It should have all been handled several levels below him and by the appropriate people on the subcontractors. I think the BP safety manager was on the rig a total of 15 minutes before he orders the evacuation and shutdown. This is all public record, the guy testified before congress. Seems to me like you are just blaming “the man” or “corporation” because you are too biased and or lazy too perform basic research. Because all the information can be easily found, since the guy testified before congress and it is all public record.

I played the game long enough to get actionable intelligence on everyone up to and including Joe Biden. It's funny watching certain folks try to censor me. I don't have a criminal record. Jeb Bush, who injects opiates intravenously, is getting leaned on by Martin Sheen. Now this is important, because Martin Sheen is former FBI Director James Comey, and former NSA and CIA Director Michael Hayden. Reference Martin Sheen's publicly stated comments in 2016 regarding Donald Trump, and recall, if you would, that Martin Sheen was posing as James Comey at this time. Martin Sheen is one of the primary architects of the FBI's opiate distribution network. The Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and Russian intelligence also are within the FBI's information loop and opiate distribution network. So that, kids, is how Martin Sheen is able to lean on Jeb Bush. I can see Jeb's house from where I am standing. And do understand that I had to stay in character for f-cking years to get this data, so don't piss me off or I'll burn your entire f-cking life to the ground. I am fresh out of patience for any bullshit. I have to point out that this, unfortunately for some, falls right smack dab in the midst of the Great Sympathy Shortage of 2023, and I don't give a f-ck if you live or die if you act against me. So, to all the intelligence operatives around me, you spoiled motherf-ckers who sleep in beds, aren't on day 203 of having your fucking car sabotaged, who continue to pretend like I haven't already caught all of the fucking bad guys, kindly apply pressure to the individuals in question. And do get in touch with those with actual enforcement capability and arrest powers so that this thing moves forward. Yeah and let me repeat that I'll put holes through Ricky Watson if he steps out of line with his fentanyl-addicted nonsensical narrative that is purely to protect those above him in the opiate distribution network. Get the f-ck to work. I don't tolerate junkies in my f-cking government. Or junkies in my fucking law enforcement. Junkie fucking federal fucking cops. What the fuck is that shit. Goddamn you motherfuckers have your heads up your asses. Do your fucking jobs. #Ihaveahighschooleducation 💀♠️🎯

Multinationals like BP seem to operate on a cost-saving/penalty fine ratio. On shore, they are under the law of that nation so the penalty for an accident is going to be higher than the savings from cutting corners. At sea, there's a lot more jurisdictional fog. Shaving costs more than covers the price of the occasional payout for killing a rig full of workers.

This is pretty great dialogue. It isn't like most movies that make every character a caricature of some mustache-twirling, cigar-smoking corporate fat cat villain; they actually listen to the guy and don't get too defensive or get cognitive dissonance in the pursuit of maintaining their authority. They try to argue, but they lose, and then are more willing to play ball.
