Two things that get left out of this story. The big one being, another rig was brought in. They directional drilled into that well bore. Killed the well, and plugged it. That’s amazing if you really think about it. The other is, the news kept reporting gallons per day flowing from the well. We don’t count fluid by gallons in the oilfield. We count by barrels. The news kept saying 60,000 gallons. It was flowing 60,000 barrels a day.
Initially the spill was reported at 20,000 bbl.s a day, which was increased surreptitiously during the spill. They knew the flowrate of the spill was 60,000 bbl.s a day from day one... I worked the Exxon Valdez spill - so many lies being told by the oil companies.
45 gallons a barrel correct?
@@daltonthomas6135 42 gal.s per bbl..
@@karlgharst5420 thanks
That's why I don't watch the news
None of the executives went to jail for ignoring safety concerns workers were talking about that were silenced of the threat of being fired. Corporate corruption at it's worst.
So Evil 🥵🇦🇺
People in their family were sold and some killed True
It bothers me knowing that on the business side of this industry, these men are simply collateral damage.
Welcome to late stage capitalism
My son was on the DH several times. He had just gotten back to shore from different rig job when the DH exploded. RIP in the deep to the 11 workers who perished. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕯🕯
Dad's best friend went down on THE OCEAN RANGER, 😳
All got one thing in common. Ugly af..!

No he wasn’t. You probably don’t even have a son.
@@DevinSheaProductions haha so true !! You know everybody knows somebody on something big and cool or related to this or that ! Like the old joke went to school with that movie star ! One girl from my hometown made it in Hollywood and that girl is younger than me but folks old enough to be my parents age all of sudden went to school with her and we’re best friends!! 😂🤣
I just watched the movie "Deepwater Horizon" so it was very powerful to listen to the actual people that survived this disaster.
Where is the movie
@@zayg1k I watched it on Amazon Video, however I dont´t know if it is on other services and if so which
@@zayg1k it's on Netflix until January 30th
That’s what I love about true story movies. They give us a deeper understanding of what went on and the people effected by it
great movie on 4k OLED
My husband survived a blowout. Eerily, his rig was not far from where Horizon was. Until I heard from him, I was a bundle of nerves. Pictures of the rig afterwards were scary. So much heat, it melted the derrick. When it first happened, the company he worked for called families to tell us about the blowout. Without any tact, they said, “we don’t know if there’s any survivors.”
It's wild how heroic regular people can be.
RIP to the 11 who didn't make it...but out of 126 it actually surprised me it wasn't more than 11 who didn't make it cause that was a pretty crazy disaster
Worked for ODECO back in the 70's and knew a lot of the men who worked on the rigs. They are a special breed of men, great workers who know how dangerous their jobs are. God bless them.
They really are. When I was a kid, my mother and one of my sisters worked for ODECO on Canal St. I haven't heard that name in ages.
Just like submariners in the Forces.
@@msjulie9592 Yes, the same. Miss those days.
Based Oil Crew
@@barbaraseymour3437 my dad was on USS Albuquerque for 5 years. I’d never want to be on a submarine.
I worked in the fishing industry in the gulf when this happened. It was so horrible seeing all the wildlife and marine life fighting for life. Not to mention the financial emergency it put us all into due to the fisheries being closed for so long. Many were going to the Atlantic or to the pacific to try to make a living. Long ride on a boat with a catch.
Agent Orange of the Gulf. Sad but great song about this by group of whose name cannot remember "To Keep the Wolves Away.". Risk management not part of CEO's intelligence compensation. First Katrina then BP. The valuable life giving wetlands are nothing but abused.
That was intense to watch. Worked on drilling rigs before and know the dangers. This is next level
I’m a young equipment operator and I’ve always been around oil and gas operations but never been part of them and I actually started crying watching this, its truly heartbreaking
@@HarrisPropertyMaintenance it was the stupid greedy company’s fault
@@carlindurfee7566 exactly. My grandpa worked on drilling rigs for decades, and he always said that nobody should be in charge unless they have worked at the rig level as a roughneck
We have the same last name. From Canada 🇨🇦
@@carlindurfee7566 yeah, they're the ones calling the shots.. risking people's lives for their money
I hope the people on that thing got paid enough that they never have to see one of those things ever again
This would be a better documentary with less repetitive flame flame footage and more use of the 3-D map to help tell the story.
The unrelated stock footage was annoying, it would be better if it was reenactments
Also, the music is too much. It’s dramatic enough without it.
I like the light blue helmets that they wear.
It was a documentary?
You had a TH-cam account since 2007
The explosion happened on my Wife's 55th birthday. She was working for the Govt (Minerals Management Service) at the time of the explosion. She remembers speaking with the Govt engineers whom she knew for 20 years in the gulf and feeling 'lied to' over the conversations about oil containment plans that they had when they actually had 'little or nothing to cap the well' She had her 30 years in, she "put in her papers' and retired soon after, before they finally were able to cap the well. This opened my eyes to just how potentially dangerous a job can be.
felt like learning something today. I didn't think I would learn something like this. How powerful. When it's on the news, it doesn't feel personal(unless it's affecting you.) and if it makes you upset you can turn the TV off. But the lives of 137 people and their families were massively affected that day, and this puts it into perspective. It's amazing how even in the face of danger, risking their lives in a way they hoped they never had to, the personnel onboard the horizon forgot themselves for a while and assumed their emergency responsibilities. what amazing people. To the rescue crew as well...must have been terrifying to approach that monster.
It's sick that no one went to prison for this.
No, it's actually quite normal...but still sick, yes.
They paid $20 billion in fines
@@commanderwalnut3846 The company paid fines. No one person went to prison or paid fines.
@@jdaz5462 Because its a corporation not your local steakhouse, there is no one to go to jail. And I don't think a crime was actually committed, if any laws were broken at all they were minor regulatory offences which carry no jail sentence .
Some people were even considered "heroes" 🤣🤦♂️🤣
That dude telling his friends to leave him and save themselves. I felt that! what a selfless chap...
Lol those words would never leave my mouth. I wouldnt hate the people who leave me but I'd never give them the ok to do so.
@@Splexsychiick, at least you’re honest, lol. I would give them the okay because some people may not allow themselves to leave. There’s no point in all of us dying. I would give them my last words to my family, and they can honor me by speaking those words to my surviving family.
@@Bballer252007 i dont think you would. Its easy to say that safe on land where you're at but in the actual situation you would want help, you would want to live.
@@Bballer252007 Yeah...sure.
@@Bballer252007 were you crying when you wrote that comment?
I still can't comprehend how we're able to drill miles into the earth from a platform that floats on top of the water...
And once the wells are drilled there's platforms floating in 4000-8000 feet of water producing oil and gas and shipping it to land.
Nobody "comprehends" it. It is studied.
They don't float on the top. They're semi-submersible so half of the rig is actually below the surface of the ocean
Well if leftist politicians allowed more land leasing, like our previous president did, then companies would have to resort to going out to deep water. This along with cutting funding and adding silly job killing regulations from the terrible Obama admin, this would have never happened. But he cut funding from OSHA in order to fund his defunct anti american agenda and inspections and safety issues got placed on the backburner. Thanks obama
We're not supposed to drill these sites at all. That's why they're down there, where nature intended them to stay, undisturbed. Believing that the monetary gain from reaping oil from the seabed somehow outweighs the cost of environmental catastrophes and incalculable suffering and death is why this industry is doomed to fail. I'm not a bleeding heart, tree-hugging, Greenpeace liberal by any standards. I think most of the broad 'alternative energy' plans promoted by the Left (wind, solar etc.) are completely unrealistic in their real-world applications. But we have the scientific knowledge and technological capabilities to figure out clean and renewable energy solutions for almost every region on Earth, if that process was allowed to go unhindered by our elite overlords who buy up, suppress, and hoard clean energy patents like toilet paper before a hurricane and basically wipe their greedy a**es with them... while simultaneously laughing, as all of us little 'commoners' yell at each other and blame ourselves for still being dependant on fossil fuels. At least toilet paper eventually gets used for the purpose it was intended for.
I think the worse part about the disaster is that 11 people we’re killed and those Responsible were never brought to justice
And their bodies were never recovered just breaks my heart 😢💔
"Lawyers" and media. Don't take long for the vultures to smell blood. It's truly amazing that so many survived such a catastrophic failure.
If you go to the beach in Louisiana and you dig down about a foot you'll find some of the remnants of the oil from the deep water horizon.
You been to cypermont point?
Timbalier/whisky bay islands for sure.. I was one of the clean up supervisors out there and i can promise you there's plenty of oil in the sand 10"down. I've never seen such a mess, it literally looked like cow patties every couple of feet (tar balls) as far as you could see up and down the entire southern edge of the islands.. on a lighter note, the environmentalist made sure to put up signs directing the workers fixing this disaster ,"Do not walk on the grass" 😂...they were dead serious about showing the world that they're serious about conservation of the ecosystem to where which only the top visible oilpods were extracted using
only shovels and clear polyurethane bags as a tools due to the media presence..
Only if you're smart enough to notice.
And probably millions of dead aquatic life killed by these Oil Clowns.
@@getredytagetredy
No doubt.
Never, NEVER let anyone, no matter how high their rank, push & pressure you into doing something you know is unsafe! This could apply to ANY job. Im a nurse and Ive had to deal with that pressure in my job. Those 11 deaths are on BP 's shoulders! Its a testamrnt to the professionalism of that entire crew of 126 or so that there werent more deaths! Next time uou are pressured in your job to make unsafe decisions? Tell them.... "Two words:DEEPWATER HORIZON". It astonished me how those BP executives pressured those men in the drill shack!
I agree , I worked as nursing assistant , and I refused to move a suspected spinal patient on my own
The worst part is that there are so many of these. Sea Ranger and Piper Alpha are good examples just on these rigs.
Pee pee poo poo
I actually watched the movie while working offshore in the North Sea. I have to admit I took working on oil rigs for granted then that put in perspective what the dangers can be.
For you folks in the North Sea, it was Piper Alpha. 😪
I remember that one. That's another one that they said was unsinkable
You'll never know until you experience working on a Rig.. money is good but it can get dangerous real fast if rules and safety are not followed
100% it all starts when you walk across the tarmac to get on that bird, I worked with guys that were 7 miles away.
when corporate tell you to ignore the rule for profit this is what happens.
@@noirto2 Totally agree... but when we young and inexperienced we roll with it and think you doing the right thing in favor of the company. But ppl lost their lives
@@noirto2 In my experience, "corporate" wasn't the problem.
I knew people on deepwater rigs that were fired b/c they wouldn't wear earplugs...
@@bradyshelton51 I worked with guys that weren’t anywhere near there. It was rough.
May the victims of the Deepwater Horizon and those of the humongous oil spill that resulted RIP. Thoughts and prayers to the survivors and their families as well. ❤️❤️
THE SPILL COULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. BP SAID NO IT WOULD DAMAGE VALVE.
THEY THEN PUT A DISPERSERANT THAT HAD BEEN BANNED THIRTY YEARS BEFORE.
tots and pears don't help anyone, just FYI
@@whburton1 ?
@@suchabadkitty1293i think he means thoughts and prayers.
My brother had just retired from the marines and was offshore when this happened so it took a week to get in touch. When I finally did get a message from him he said he’s was fine and his rig was 100 mi away from DH but by the time he was to helo out he said you could see the crude in the water.
Rip to the 11 people who lost their lives you will truly be missed
Every person speaking in this video is a hero and a miracle.
The jobs people do for a paycheck!!
My heart goes out to the wives, children, and all the family members enduring that loss to this day. Many thanks to those brave people trying to rescue survivors while witnessing the biggest fire they've ever seen...that there is integrity 👏!!

@@teresafan1 and how does that make you feel?
I've seen various documentaries covering this incident and thought I wouldn't learn anything new from this one but I took a look anyway. I'm glad I did because it is easy to forget what happened 12 years ago already. What a terrifying experience and how sad for the loved ones left behind.😢😢
I worked for Halliburton in the 80’s. Went on a lot of Drilling rigs, whole different world. Also went on a Shell Oil blowout, unbelievable the forces involved!
My dad was up 1 hr after the rig blew out. He worked for cudd energy ( which was fracking, but he was over that along pressure control and fire fighting.) his first task is to get together with the big wigs of a bunch of major companies to put the fire out. The next task was to figure out how to close off the free flowing well. Their answer as to dump trash down the hole to plug it up until they could cap it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rest In Peace, DH11. For the surviving 115, I hope things are going well.
I live a mile from Mobile bay , Alabama
My heart is still breaks and I cry remembering the sight of the fish, and birds covered in oil. I pray to never have to see that again.

Rip to the fallen ones🙏🏾
That’s another problem, you jump in the water you risk drowning in oil.
Fantastic group of heroes who leapt into action to save every life they could both on and off the rig.
BP should have paid way more money to those people and the families of the departed and those who were injured.
Why? Transocean owned and ran the rig. They were paid millions to go and do a job they made a mess of. It should have been Transocean doing all the paying.
@@cplcabs In September 2014, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that BP was primarily responsible for the oil spil... there's more about that on the Web, granted Transocean and the contractor Halliburton are partially to blame, but it all comes down to (and this is by the reports in short) bps fault for gross negligence in safety...
@@JonDoeDlooney uh huh....we all know that corruption is rife in the US. Did you know that the oil leak could have been stopped long before it was. Other countries offered help with equipment which could have plugged the leak quickly, but Obama said only the US could plug the leak and refused any help thereby dragging out the whole thing.
Have you ever worked on a rig? When the oil company in this case BP gives you time for maintenance it's a set time, if you go over that time alloted then the rig picks up the cost of everything for however long. Life is difficult out on the water. Now working for BP is absolutely crazy the amount of regulations BP has put in place to prevent and issue like this from ever happening again. There are 3 options in a situation like this get to the lifeboat and hope they haven't left yet, jump to the water, or die. We do this so jackasses like everyone in these comments talking trash can do so on their plastic phone made from oil. Have a great day.
Took me a while, bp is short for British Petroleum right, well they dot really have a good track record with their oil
Can you imagine being in such a horrible situation that at one point you seriously think your dead

Are those real?
One of the few great dacos by the national geographic channel lately.
Who else here after watching deep water horizon 🖐🏾
I've heard of methane hydrate suddenly erupting. If I understood what I read, it's much heavier than air. That methane could reach such high concentration to cause a diesel engine to over rev and explode catastrophically is amazing to me thinking that the air inlets for the engines were probably better than 30 ft from the surface of the water. Refineries I had been to all warned of hydrogen sulfide gas and had a very lengthy safety orientation prior to the DWH tragedy. My heart, thoughts and prayers continues to this day for those all traumatized by this. It would be no surprise to me if 95% of the survivors, rescue workers, families and eye witnesses to this to have PTSD to this day.
I remarked how crew tried to alert suits to some real drilling-tool problem and were basically told to jam some fittings together (don't quote me, but the rig expert got told by his boss 'no big,' plus a few other easily fixed and easily found ( in hindsight ‼️). Listen to your front line corporate. RIP DWH
This happened at the Texas oil refinery fumes from a faulty tank caused a truck to rev up and caused an explosion
You forgot the part that for 3 months that oil head gushed crude into the Gulf. Feet of sludge on the bottom killing all the life down there, globs the size of a city floating around killing fish washing into the wetlands.

RIP all lost souls. Investigations show how even the best of the best worked under a multipart management systems, suits on the rig just that day and a couple of guys tried to point out a problem they had. They did as they were told. If anyone else already brought this to light it does not need blown up but dig deeper. Deep shame on the operators for not understanding (again), when front line in your biz want to give their best, give them a safe space to tell and know they will be valued for their expertise on shift for their contract. I'm remember the event!) The fire did come to life and the environmental damage 😭. We need to do better & I wish I knew how.
One of my fellow Subsea Engineers that was on a Diamond rig a few miles from DH was knocked out of his bunk from the blast! He showed me pictures and video he took of the DH that were unbelievable with people running all over the deck and flames all around!
[Insert name here] is one lucky so-and-so. Each of these men and women have looked death right in the face and survived. What an astonishing experience.
I worked on one the boat that was skimming out there.while they were trying to shut the well in.people can't imagine what it was like.i also had a brother working for nabors at the time.we both were stunned at how bad it was.
I watched the movie in class and it’s impossible to believe this was based off of a true story
I'm not sure exacally how many miles we live for this, 175 to 200 miles at the most, early in the morning before the days breeze, you could slitely smell the oil
OMG that was horrifying. R. I. P. To the crew members who lost their lives that horrific night.

Until they blamed Trump at the end.
@@ghpjerry They didnt "blame Trump". He wasnt even president when this happened🙄

That fire was the roaring fury of Earth.
Sorry, but these men did not give their lives for anything. It was taken from them.
May they rest in peace. I hope they led meaningful fulfilling lives together while on the platform.
Very true:(. Juan O Savin said there was more to that story! Someday he would discuss it. But not at this time:(.
I remember when this happened, I was in New Orleans, and within 24 hours we had already seen the first oil slicks. The current was fast moving, and unfortunately that meant that the oil was able to move at a much fast rate than anyone initially predicted. For a time, it wasn't even known if the well could be capped, being as far down as it was and there were serious fears the entire Gulf would become a dead zone. It was a very stressful 84 days for everyone.

I remember being at a doctor's office, across the street from the Terrbonne general medical center, and hearing the helicopters bringing in the 8njured.
BP officials look at this video and see the enormous flame of natural gas blowing out the top of the rig and think "Oh my God, what a good well that is, after things settle down we'll head back down there and tap into that rascal again"
We lived in PCB, Fl at that time & was such a sad time:(

Jumping out of a burning rig into the ocean where probably sharks somewhere nearby is a crazy situation to be in
Especially in the dark
Sharks are least problem there...
The thing is before you ever go offshore, you go through training for water survival and how to properly jump.
Think the sharks didn't want to stay in those oil polluted waters sharks were the least of their worries
Animals are skiddish around things they don't know. I'd be willing to bet there was 0 wildlife around once it blew.
Everything is dangerous. Especially oil field related. Bad thing about offshore is your off….shore, takes forever to get someone in if something happens or someone out to assist like in this case
stuff like this happens when Men in Suits, deccides that "Money is Worth more than Lives"..
A buddy of mine survived this and was on the oil rig. When this happened.
He survived it.
Did an actor play him in the movie?
I remember that rig burned for days !
God bless the men on that rig that survived and God bless the men that perished! I hope that dam oil co. That owned that rig and who those men worked for did all those men right when it was over . Didn’t they finally call Res Adair to put that fire out ?
I think you mean Red Adair, and no they didn't call him because he had been dead for nearly a decade by that time.
These people didn't make "the ultimate sacrifice". They died because of negligence.
Facts
Negligence plus greed. For a profit margin and another CEO bonus
Agree but sadly disagree 😔
And greed!
The voice at the end said the 11 dead “paid the ultimate price.” That’s a perfectly accurate statement.
Mike Williams gave a firsthand account on 60 Minutes that makes this look like a cartoon. If this event is interesting to you then go watch it. It's the most gripping story I've ever heard in my entire life.
Actually, YT is now able to predict our thoughts and actions. They know us better than we know ourselves
We all are TH-cam. Its we-tube now. We're all the captain now. *captain sully pirate meme*
It's actually Google which owns TH-cam. Google has your life and thoughts in it's servers.
Wow never realised there bodies were never recovered!!
I would check out the Piper Alpha disaster 1988. 61 survivors and 167 dead.
Deep water was bad with loss of life and un imaginable environmental damage but piper alpha had 167 lives lost. For the people that died on the deep water that is no conciliation but my god, it is amazing it was not worse.
Have you seen the documentary or read the book called "Fire in the Night" about the Piper Alpha disaster? I have the documentary on DVD and I just finished the book yesterday. It's quite good. Tragically two more men took their own lives in the years after the disaster because of survivor's guilt.
Always wondered why BP was crucified when the rig that caught fire and sank was not even owned by B P but a contractor and Halliburton had a hand in making sure this nightmare came into reality but BP gets in all the trouble
First of all, my deepest condolences for the families that lost the lives of their loved ones in this horrific tragedy. As a clean up worker in Grand Isle, LA we were told in a debriefing that an exec for the drilling decided to save millions of dollars by having the outer core of the drilling shaft be filled with concrete that was mixed with salt water instead of fresh water. That caused the problem. Can any offshore oil rigger verify that to be the case, or have I've been lied to by BP? Thanks
True, BP USED salt water instead of FRESH WATER to mix the mud to seal
The well. And bc of there NEGLIGENT
ACTIONS 11 men lost their lives
And not one BP person was liable
@@stevemarthey4301 always execs get wrap ...the workers HAPPILY FOLLOWED ORDERS FOR A CHECK. STOOGES
You should watch about Piper Alpha. The death toll was enormous. Beyond comprehension. We may never learn.
Never heard of it. Thanks, going to look it up now :) I love learning about these rigs it's fascinating, though unfortunately very sad most of the time. I have skilled friends who sometimes consider working offshore and the more I learn and share, the less they want to go. They'd all rather be alive and poor than rich and dead. :)
The industry is too dangerous. Its like dancing tango in a minefield.
I was at the Mother Baby Center when this happened, after delivering our baby son. And I remember watching this on TV in my room. Time flies, dang.
