They were the wrong color.
Speaking of 11 good men, have you seen any articles or photo montages or tributes to those men in any of the reporting on this disaster?
I haven’t seen a thing, but usually when there is a disaster with more than one or two fatalities (plane crash, train derailment, etc) the media trip all over themselves to do “human interest” stories on the victims and their families.
Maybe I’ve missed them, but I have not noticed a single such story about the 11 workers on that rig.
I have seen a couple. One about a fellow who got his will updated, upped his insurance and so on.
His wife asked why - he said “just in case” His last platform rotation before getting a shore billit.
At least he died knowing his family was taken care of -
Me? I would have quit. No job is worth dying over. THe guy demonstrated he knew the place was an accident waiting to happen.... bummer for th ekids.
There’s been very little information at the national level; hopefully the local media did a better job.
In case anyone else missed it (as I did), you can leave your condolences at http://www.deepwaterhorizoncondolences.com/condolences.asp
I’ve been wondering the same. I don’t like that those eleven souls seem to have been completely forgotten in all of this.
