Oil riggers on ship that exploded in Gulf of Mexico describe fateful night
... We're waiting to get everyone here before we go!' a supervisor yelled to Eugene and the other men who were waiting near the lifeboats....They waited 20 minutes on the exploding platform. One hundred and fifteen lived, eleven died. A few jumped and swam to rescue boats, most took the two remaining lifeboats.
Twenty minutes waiting for survivors to run, crawl and be carried to the lifeboats.
Awesome courage.
