While I read everything about what happened prior to the explosion with a jaundiced eye, last nite, AC 360 had on the show the wife of one of the rig workers who got killed. She said her husband was home just before the explosiion and he acted very peculiarly. Suddenly, he had this urgency to get a will drawn up [he was 35] and went through the house explaining how things worked and then showing how Transocean was liable should he die at the site. I don't know if he had a premonition of death, or if things were being run so badly at the rig, but her whole conversation was eerie to say the least. Surely, you attach no significance to an anecdote like this. It may or may not be true. The guy may have just been negligent previously and realized he was in a very dangerous line of work (which he was). There could be 100 reasons why something like this happened, none of which related to operations on the rig. Why do you turn everything around so that BP does not look bad? Are you a shareholder? Seriously, the woman was very clear that this was unusual behavior. I am more inclined to think he had a premonition of his death rather than he thought something terrible was about to happen to the rig. In any case its worth exploring......if for no other reason so that it doesn't happen again. And one last thing, you don't need to take the side of BP. There is no one on this thread that is making a huge case against them.
