I went on many trips to work on the horizon and I remember those guys who perished that night. Sometimes I even dream that I am walking into that galley to eat a meal or walking up the stairs to go from the living quarters to to the outside area and spinning the wheel on the door to lock it closed. RIP you guys...your shift is over........
Rest in peace brothers, I think about the sacrifice you guys made to put food on the table and it reinforces me to work safer every hitch and do my best to go home the same way I came out. you will not be forgotten..... not in my book anyways.
To the families, I am sorry for your loss and may your hearts find a way to ease the pain you are feeling and know that these guys are safe now where no one can hurt them.

god bless the families and help them get through it all. i met those guys a couple times good guys. hate loosing fellow rig hands. later guys. joe kustom roughneck.
Worked out there when it was Sonat Offshore 89 to 94.So I can relate to the loss, the hurt and pain.Thought about the 11 that left us.How my wife would suffer if it would have been me.Hurts like Hell.So sad.Its up to us to remember them.Try to live the dreams they dreamed and do the things wanted to do in life.
i watch this video at least once a month; my husband works 14 and 14; worry about him every time he is out there; that basket thingy; i have a pic of where they take them up to the rigs; i worry all the time that he will be ok; i couldn't imagine living my life without him! God bless the families that lost their guys
have watched this video several times; at least once a month; my husband works in the gulf of mexico; i worry about him every day that he is gone; two weeks at the time; i still think about those families that lost their loved ones; they would have closure at least if they could have seen the bodies of their guys; God bless and i worry every time my husband is gone!
To the 11 familes, May God wrap you up in his love and care, as you go through this time of sorrow! My heart,thoughts and prayers are with you ALL! Godspeed to all of you!
@TrickeyJew If you think your comment was funny...think again!!! My brother was killed in that explosion & to have a heartless jerk-off make a comment mocking them is just shallow!
They're still trying to plug it? The Iranians did a great job plugging the offshore oil wells that American terrorists blew up while the US was attacking Iran both directly and indrectly during the Iran-Iraq war of 1980-1988. And the Iranians were in the middle of a devastating defensive war facing every weapon of mass destruction available at that time. Are the British/Americans that stupid?
Either way, what goes around comes around! It's only a shame that the animals have to pay for it.
Good video , My family has also lost a family member at sea that has never been recovered, so I feel for the family members of these men that died on this oil rig. I also have family and friends that are suffering from this oil disaster so I wrote a
song about the situation if you would like to take a look. Thanks Chris
Yeah !... how come???? I was just wondering and yet slightly confused. Where are all the "Save The Gulf" concerts? Where are the T.V. Benefits with celebrities and musicians giving heartfelt speeches on the poor fisherman, wildlife, beaches, loss of income and sabotaged gulf economy? I find it rather strange how these people (including our own government) are so quick to help Haiti and other countries... but sit on their behinds for this one. Just the facts
Unfortunately the loss of these hard working people has been overshadowed by the extent of the disaster. It personally affected me , that I sat down and wrote my own song.and posted it as well. If your interested go to Deepwater Horizon Blowout Blues.
iF THESE GUYS KNEW WHAT KILLED THEM, THEYD FLIP. WHAT KILLED THEM WILL NOW SLOWLY KILL THERE FAMILIES. AND YEP BP WONT PAY A DIME, IF THEY DO THAT ADMITTS GUILT. OR WILL ONLY GO TO THE FAMILIES WITH THE BEST LAWYERS TO SHUT THEM UP. NICE JOB OBAMASS AND BP WOKING IN HARMONY.
I just want to say Thank You for sharing this. It really means alot to me for my brother Karl Kleppinger is one of the missing. it truely means alot that people are remembering those brave 11 Men.
I appologise for my earler words im just mad at the whole situation and should not have taken it out here. I was wrong and retract my words. RIP to the hard workers who lost their lives
If all there safety measures were taken away from them they should not have continued working on the rig. Hopefully this will make the oil companies be forced into much much higher safety standards. THoes guys were in a union and should have not worked on that rig if they knew it was unsafe. Im not saying its their fault but its hard to turn down a pay check.
@TrickeyJew the day of the explosion bp sent the management team to congratulate them for 7 years with no injury. The ship was created in 2001, its one of the newer models by transocean, Everyone needs money and most of these workers had kids, its terrible shame to see this happen, its time for corporate punishment. The men lost there lives working for a capitalistic mastermind, who wanted money more then safety. "Cheap is sweet but will be costly".-Me
@TrickeyJew There are NO union workers offshore. I worked offshore for 4 years, and if I so much as uttered the word "union", I got dirty looks from my fellow workers. Most offshore workers fear that if their jobs are unionized, then they will cease to exist. Because of that though, there's no one to back them up if they refuse to work for a good reason--doing so will get them fired, and they all know it.
At least some one sees that these men are trying to make a living. these men are doing what they can to feed the world they live in with oil and gas and no one seems to say thank you for that. they just get mad if something goes wrong. Hey mother fuckers men die to give you fuel and heat. if you dont like that go off your self. have some respect for us.
@gaily1959 my husband works on a supply boat taking supplies out to those rigs; i worry every time he leaves if he will come back home to me; it may have been a human error or what but what about the lives that were lost; crap on the oil spill; children and wives miss their men; if any body has a negative remark like that trickeyjew; he will go straight to where he needs too; thanks to trace adkins for this tribute; i have had it in my mind ever since it came out; i know all the words
@gaily1959 I agree. I too work on supply vessels working in the gulf. That trickeyjew needs to watch what he says. I know he said that he retracted the words he said, but guess what? They were already said and the damage is done. I don't think too many people know this but that song that Trace Adkins wrote about offshore drilling was written about 7 years ago. He's talkin about when he used to work on the rigs himself before his singing career started.
inventor of the oil spill proof new ship design that would have stopped all oil spills from happening since 1979, also #3: that the same design or very simalar will be used to plug the same bouched top kill just a few hours ago,on 05-29-10, also #4: the fact many different companies and the govt. ignored me for so long while my CIVIL RIGHTS were continually being violated to this very day! ago
bottom line it doesn't matter why at this point pur oceans are the life blood of this planet and the planet is a living being, a thing that has been kept secret till just recently with some new discoveries, that have yet to be publisized because more uneducated peoples would think the person supporting such a conclusion is crazy, the crazy finger pointing will end ! and a new world order is going to be
born out of it ! & all the media & others will be held accountable for it's lie's and deceptions. just keep watching and you will see those greedy people in charge will be on their way out just like the people of SPAIN did when thair country was also attacked and they voted evry single person in the government out of office. if the USSR, can fall so can any country essecially the USA.. AMEN !!!!!!!
My condolences to the families of the men that lost their lives on this rig, may God help you get through the difficult days ahead. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Anyone who says that the blowout and the spill is the fault of the hands who died obviously doesn't have the tiniest bit of knowledge about the drilling process or about how offshore work is in general. Even news reports make me roll my eyes because it's a whole different universe out there and reporters never really get it--but at least they don't flaunt their ignorance by trying to pin the blame on guys who willing work at some of the toughest, dirtiest, most dangerous jobs in the world.
fuck those guys who dont respect this video .... this is a tribute to the guys who lost their lives onboard , and some motherfuckers cocksuckers are abusing this video. hell for them .
I live in the midwest and I feel I have no right to say that I can imagine what it is like for the families of the lost and of those who work on oil rigs. I give my utmost respect to those who live lifestyles of working on oil rigs and in coal mines as well as law enforcement, etc (am daughter of a cop) so I have nothing but respect for those who work jobs where every day you don't know what it will be like. GOd bless the fallen.
Im a canadian oil field fire fighter, i would like to give my condolance to the friends and family that have losttheir loved one on the deepwater horizon... RIP.. safe journey.

Only a dumb ass would say something like this, you are obviously just another asshole who wasn't hugged enough by mommy so you have to lash out at other peoples pain to make your helpless soul feel a little better. These men were just trying to make a living for their family and something went wrong. You say fuck them, I say FUCK YOU and I hope you rot in hell for all eternity. May GOD have mercy on you because I swear to you I wouldn't if I ever met you!
@jasone7668 Amen, brother. There's always got to be an asshole. And I would LOVE to invite this particular asshole to repeat his words in front of me. Then again, that's why he's mouthing off on the internet--he'd crap his pants if he ever had to explain this garbage to your average roughneck.
@jasone7668 Dumb ass? YOU'RE the dumbass who dont know about GEET. IT runs on 80%water 20%used oil. So...oil is fucking useless. Get a life asshole. Heres a challenge for you: watch these two videos on youtube "geet mower in tall grass" and "generator runs on coffee". Then google "free geet plans" and build you own engine that runs on mostly water. Then YOU TOO can honestly say that you dont really need oil either.
@TrickeyJew how can you say it was thier fault wat it it was unpredickabel and thye had no time to prepare?? you dont know wat it is like out thier i been thier for 2 yrs man shit can go wrong in a heart beat and they you are already over your head and cant get out of it so dont ever say shit about off shore drilling bitch boy
@TrickeyJew how dare you say something like that you ignorant dumb ass you are the one that is fucked up I hope you are haunted by your attitude every time you put gas in your car fuck you
you are a ignorant jack ass....with out those guys you wouldnt be able to drive around in your little shitty vehicle or buy propane or nothing..but your probably too worried bout the damn beach and all that shit right? obviously youv never known anybody who has worked in the oilfield....i have been out in the patch and my cousin was on that rig when it blew...those 11 guys were killed to bring you gas and oil so give thanks for their sacrafice...geez...

Read today's AP report on the final minutes. Those guys had every safety cut out from under them by management. And so did we. No worker wants to die, dumbass.
@TrickeyJew may u go to hell and never get out of there; those guys had nothing to do with what happened; it was human error maybe; but what about 911 and all that stuff; it was probably u jews that did that; so go to where u know
I feel bad for the people lost in this accident, but have no remorse for the toll this accident will hopefully reap on BP. It's their fault that these men have lost their lives..
I think that no matter what race,poliical party, religion or gender...we can all agree that those eleven men were very brave and our hearts and prayers are with them and their families right now. REST IN PEACE workers of the deepwater horizon
I'm at a loss for words. I'm sorry seems inadequate. This was an avoidable tragedy. It's despicable that their names have never been mentioned publicly by the representatives of Transocean, Halliburton, BP or the Federal Authorities. It's time for all of them to acknowledge and accept responsibility for this CATASTROPHE! But no amount of money can ease the pain and loss of these families. My prayers are with you!
I'm an oilfield "brat" 49 yrs. old & have always worked in the oilfield. My heart sank when I heard of the eleven that perished. What a wonderful tribute to the men of the Horizon. RIP & prayers for the families.
We work in rain, sleet, hail and snow. we support our loved ones and they watch us go. when people ask what we do, we tell them storys of what weve been through. Blood, sweat, tears and cold brews. It takes a special person to do what we do, we go to work and hope for the best, and at the end of the day, May God Bless.
this tribute is watched with heavy heart for all the families involved, in hopes that they have the strength to have peace in the wonderful memories of their love one lost in this most tragic accident
jasone7668 Wonderful tribute to those brothers you obviously love.. Thank you for the sacrifice on behalf of all American's .. May God work His miracle of peace in the hearts of those who lost loved ones.. Know nothing about this type of work, but the sacrifice is obvious.. May God bless you all..
As a retired offshore worker myself ,(Pacesetter 1) my heart and prayers are with these family members,its hard enough to leave you home and loved ones in the middle of the night to head offshore,everyone that has and still works out there knows how dangerous it is.This is a great tribute to them.
I just want to say that my prayers are with everyone that is hurt, safe and missing. I have a friend that had someone on that rig and it was the scariest 3 days of not knowing before he made contact from a hospital in Tx and he still cant walk. I know that prayers went out to everyone from me. I hope that everyone can find their lost ones still. Everytime I look at this, I cry! thanks for posting it.
I would have to get permission from every single person who is in the video, permission from Trace Adkins for the song, permission from the original creator. There is no way to get all of that. If the original owner of the video posts it or gives me permission I will try to contact Trace for his permission and roll with it like that and then split the money between them
To the families of the off-shore disaster..........may GOD be with you all.....You are in all of the oilfields hearts............GOD SPEED and GOD BLESS
Deepwater Horizon is a new Transocean rig, i wonder why BOP doesn't work, as BP described about the matters. We, behalf of Harvey H Ward crew, Gob bless you...
Just a FYI, this video is so popular that YouTube wants me to link my acct to a google adsense acct and make money from views. I declined because this video is not ment to be a cash cow, it is ment as a tribute and only as a tribute.
In my OPINION this sounds just like BP described it, faulty BOP's. Basically the BOP's didn't do their job and all the gas came up uncontrolably and found an ignition source and blew up. Like I said, this is my opinion and not the proven cause.
@jasone7668 whats about industrial sabotage of BOP's ? Honestly this is a so strange accident. Security valves didnt work too very strange at my opinion. What do you think ? That oilfield was not a common oilfield, but very important and strategical.
Anyway support to proud and corageous workers of DeepWater Horizon, one of the most advanced drilling platform wich they reach many success. GOD BLESS
If they had a surface stack then faulty riser would have let mud and gas leak from it when the rams were closed but if they had a sub-sea stack then faulty riser wouldn't matter. If they did have faulty riser they would have haulted all drilling unroll it was fixed to prevent mud loss.
the riser were faulty two days before the the explosion they were having problems with it they were almost done with the drilling the bop never had a chance to do there jobs thats what i was told threw a soucre at transocean well i have family that work for them one of my family member is the purschasing clerk for that rig so idk how true this is but thats what i was told threw a good source hope that helps
I did not think such disasters could happen anymore with all procedures in place. I've worked for BP in Norway for 4 years and BP are really taken HSE part very seriously at rigsite....Anybody knows what really happened? What phase were the rig in, P&A? Looks like the well was open to the reservoir, and that both barriers failed - drilling mud and BOP. Or was this a underground blowout due to communication in annulus due to poor cement job for last casing shoe? RIP rig workers..
To the family's of the 11 missing men, may god give you peace, and heal your hearts God Speed, and to all the other 115 men and thier family's may you also haveGod's peace & mercy to help you get through the coming days, weeks and months, also speedy recovery's to all who were injured. God Bless YOU ALL!
My heart and prayers go out to all who have been affected by this tragedy. They were hard working men making a better life for their loved ones and they will always be remembered. I didnt know any of the men on this rig but the men i do know who work out there are good men who make you still beleive in humanity. God Bless!
thanks to how ever made this video. my brother was one of the 11 Dale Burkeen, he was the best big brother anyone could have asked for. I wish I had a copy of it if you know where or how please call me at ( 601-416-3872) . may God bless you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart i have watched this over and over tryed to download it but the sound would not work.
@MsWoodson123 janet, i have a copy of it on facebook that works really well, i doesn't cut out or anything, if u want, i will send it to you; just let me know your e-mail address and i will gladly send it to you; so sorry for your loss; as my husband works in the gulf also; again, will send it to ya
What an incredible tragedy this was. My most heartfelt prayers go out to those who were on the platform when this happened and, of course, to the families and all loved ones of those who lost their lives. This is a wonderful tribute to them. May they never be forgotten.
As an oilfield wife this hits so close to home. Every time i see him disappear into that airport, this is the call that i dread until i see him again!!!! I will never take that man for granted for what he goes through to support this family!!! Anyone that can spend two weeks away from his wife and kids to give them the best life possible is truly a hero!! My prayers are with these men and their families!!! God bless them all!!!
Totally awesome. I work for a competing , company, but that makes this video no less meaningfull. I hope everyone in the oilfield stays safe and goes home to what means the most.
I live in the same area as Mr. Dewey Revette did, and this is a tragedy!!! My father works on oil rigs and almost every man in my family and this is so sad. I feel so sorry for his two daughters because I definately do not know what I would do without my daddy. My prayers go out to the 11 mens families and all of the other men who made it home safely(They still need a lot of prayer also)!!!
I think it is beautiful. I am an offshore wife and could not imagine life without my beloved. My prayers go out to the families for the Lord knows that could have been my husband.
Think about you a lot Adam! I miss your awesome personality and your ability to make everyone laugh! RIP you are truly missed!

@TrickeyJew the day of the explosion bp sent the management team to congratulate them for 7 years with no injury. The ship was created in 2001, its one of the newer models by transocean, Everyone needs money and most of these workers had kids, its terrible shame to see this happen, its time for corporate punishment. The men lost there lives working for a capitalistic mastermind, who wanted money more then safety. "Cheap is sweet but will be costly".-Me

@TrickeyJew There are NO union workers offshore. I worked offshore for 4 years, and if I so much as uttered the word "union", I got dirty looks from my fellow workers. Most offshore workers fear that if their jobs are unionized, then they will cease to exist. Because of that though, there's no one to back them up if they refuse to work for a good reason--doing so will get them fired, and they all know it.

At least some one sees that these men are trying to make a living. these men are doing what they can to feed the world they live in with oil and gas and no one seems to say thank you for that. they just get mad if something goes wrong. Hey mother fuckers men die to give you fuel and heat. if you dont like that go off your self. have some respect for us.

@gaily1959 my husband works on a supply boat taking supplies out to those rigs; i worry every time he leaves if he will come back home to me; it may have been a human error or what but what about the lives that were lost; crap on the oil spill; children and wives miss their men; if any body has a negative remark like that trickeyjew; he will go straight to where he needs too; thanks to trace adkins for this tribute; i have had it in my mind ever since it came out; i know all the words

@gaily1959 I agree. I too work on supply vessels working in the gulf. That trickeyjew needs to watch what he says. I know he said that he retracted the words he said, but guess what? They were already said and the damage is done. I don't think too many people know this but that song that Trace Adkins wrote about offshore drilling was written about 7 years ago. He's talkin about when he used to work on the rigs himself before his singing career started.

Anyone who says that the blowout and the spill is the fault of the hands who died obviously doesn't have the tiniest bit of knowledge about the drilling process or about how offshore work is in general.

Heres a challenge for you: watch these two videos on youtube "geet mower in tall grass" and "generator runs on coffee". Then google "free geet plans" and build you own engine that runs on mostly water. Then YOU TOO can honestly say that you dont really need oil either.

neonmoondancer 1 year ago
In my OPINION this sounds just like BP described it, faulty BOP's. Basically the BOP's didn't do their job and all the gas came up uncontrolably and found an ignition source and blew up. Like I said, this is my opinion and not the proven cause.
jasone7668 1 year ago
@jasone7668 whats about industrial sabotage of BOP's ? Honestly this is a so strange accident. Security valves didnt work too very strange at my opinion. What do you think ? That oilfield was not a common oilfield, but very important and strategical.
Anyway support to proud and corageous workers of DeepWater Horizon, one of the most advanced drilling platform wich they reach many success. GOD BLESS

If they had a surface stack then faulty riser would have let mud and gas leak from it when the rams were closed but if they had a sub-sea stack then faulty riser wouldn't matter. If they did have faulty riser they would have haulted all drilling unroll it was fixed to prevent mud loss.

the riser were faulty two days before the the explosion they were having problems with it they were almost done with the drilling the bop never had a chance to do there jobs thats what i was told threw a soucre at transocean well i have family that work for them one of my family member is the purschasing clerk for that rig so idk how true this is but thats what i was told threw a good source hope that helps

I did not think such disasters could happen anymore with all procedures in place. I've worked for BP in Norway for 4 years and BP are really taken HSE part very seriously at rigsite....Anybody knows what really happened? What phase were the rig in, P&A? Looks like the well was open to the reservoir, and that both barriers failed - drilling mud and BOP. Or was this a underground blowout due to communication in annulus due to poor cement job for last casing shoe? RIP rig workers..
