I'm from Trinidad. To date there has been no arrests made or any compensation to any of the victim's families. News about this is constantly suppressed by almost all politicians, since many of the business heads are friends of said politicians. I never really expected this story to be picked up outside Trinidad, much less Xeno but I hope it gets more eyes so something could be done.

I seen alot of people say that there was no way to rescue them before death. Obviously I'm cluless since Im not from there or know engineering of pipes enough to make a claim. But is that true? No doubt the company is evil, but could they really have been saved given their situation + air pressure that would change when opened up+

Bruh, I'm from the ME, me and others heard about it, nowadays stories get to every corner of the world! This was a terrible incident and hopefully one day you guys can get rid of these lousy politicians and find peace for these fallen divers. ❤

I just cannot even imagine the sheer terror these poor men experienced. To think that they potentially survived 4 days all the while enduring hopelessness of their situation.

@@exile6861He definitely has ptsd and survivor’s guilt. That shit is heartbreaking. Even though it’s not his fault at all, he feels responsible because he was the one all of them agreed to send alone to escape and get help. He was their last and only hope of maybe surviving, and even though he escaped and clearly did so fast enough to get help before they died, they still didn’t survive. And now he has to live with that. Even if he understands that really it wasn’t his fault.

As a Navy Submariner I used to try and imagine survival of something like this. I just transferred my hopes to a qwik death. Amazing the one survivor made it tho!!

im from here. the matter is still in industrial courts but we dont expect anything to come of it.

These people need to be put in jail for life, but unfortunately, that will never happen =(

it makes me sick & furious that noone even lifted a finger to try and help those men get out of the pipe, company greed, fucking pathetic.

Im from Jamaica and I can tell you the Caribbean is rife with corruption and this does not surprise me for a second. The people here are a resource and nothing more when it comes to big companies and the govt. It breaks my heart because you just know that you are hardly valued as a person in some instances and a lot of people are completely desensitized to it at this point. Hearing the men talking through it at the very end have me bawling like a baby, especially when he said god is good.

Cutting the pipe wouldn't have worked. Due to the pressure differential the men trapped inside would've likely been crushed or suffer further injuries. Additionally it would cause a massive oil spill in the harbor. At the same time, the fact no strategy was even attempted is disgusting.

thanks for the video, i think i love my safe life right at this moment more than ever before. jesus f christ.

Love these reactions! Terrible tragedy nonetheless 😢

I can't even imagine the survivor's guilt that Chris feels. This one was hard to watch and the inaction from the company and the gov. makes me sick.

I can't even begin to imagne, let alone think about how terrifying this is.

This needs be looked into further imo

The Trinidad incident we remember this well

Terrifying

They didn't cut the pipe because if they did, water would flood the pipe and finish them off.

That's fucked up, the company just left them there to die from the sound of it.

I would've freaked the fuck out if i was in there. That shit be scary man, the ocean be even more scary than most things.

and that is the reason we're exploring space we went a short distance down the scientist saw all that crap and hell noped in the other direction

If the company saved the remaining people, they’d be bankrupt on lawsuits. Recovering dead men only puts a dent in their pockets.

In the air pocket... yeah what kind of air do you even breathe in that air pocket

how would you open the pipe tho? Wielding into it? Igniting oil residues and it takes a while to cut open a large enough space to pull people out while water is coming in and taken time to provide oxigen. Its an nasty scenario but i doubt they could have been saved tbh.

Wish there was something we can do as citizens to get these greedy companies to do what's right. They could've rescued them yet they chose not to...they knew they were down there but after a couple of days they decided to retrieve their bodies...like what sense does that make!?

I bet you the company got away with it too; world is not balanced at all.

While I get those saying 'They should have just cut the pipe and didn't cause of greed' there is also something to keep in mind. Similar to how this incident started due to pressure differences, cutting into the pipe would have caused similar issues. The only real way they could have saved these men was to have someone go in with a tow line back to where they were so that equipment could have been pulled down to them to wear then pull then back out. This could have resulted in them being saved, but because they were stopped from doing anything it made it difficult for them to do anything. That is where the greed came into the equation - is by doing nothing instead of doing something. Sadly, this is possibly a tale that while it may remain fresh in memories for years to come, and Chris will suffer with those memories the rest of his life, that no one will be legally or financially held liable for the death of those men due to the location of this accident. Too many places are still able to sweep things like this under the rug as an unfortunate occurrence and move on even in this day and age.

It's government owned, they don't care about silly things like "safety" and "proper regulations." If something goes wrong the government will protect the oil rig.

this is what capitalism does to our world. Part of me wishes hell does exist so every single greedlord man in the company would have a special place in it.

You look at the corruption in capitalist societies and think a good alternative is a system where the same fallible and easily corruptible human beings have even more power is a preferable alternative? Are you an idiot?
