Worst Oil Spills in American History | 60 Minutes Full Episodes

[@mohamedabdinur3713]

Williams you are a brave man, with 2 life boats at your disposal you didn't use them because you never wanted to leave anyone behind. A true hero and a true colleague we would all want to work with is who you are.

[@Zozik333]

They hire quality control, quality assurance, safety people but unfortunate in most cases… They are the ones that pay those people and run the operation. You CANNOT cook your own soup and taste it and say it’s good or bad…! Quality control, quality assurance, and safety. People have to be independent and have power, just like a medical doctor in the military.

Mike Williams is tough af. To survive through all of that, you have to be true warrior. A man's Man. God Bless him and his family.

these oil companies don't care about anything or anyone... the only thing they care about is the money they make.

[@oeliamoya9796]

Yes. The goal of every for profit company is .....profit

[@Moon___man]

Couldnt even imagine myself in that situation. Middle of the night, middle of the ocean, engulfed in flames, explosions all around, and you have to jump 10 stories into the darkness below.. Then you get to relive it over and over in your head. No amount of monetary compensation can make up for that.

God bless Mike Williams. SSOO TRAUMATIC. He tells this better than any book could write it. What a precious soul.

[@chinookvalley]

CEOs, lobbyists, and the higher up will tell you all their work is perfectly safe, for humans and the environment. The actual people who work on the rigs can show you missing fingers, legs, and eyes, and then tell you about the friends they've lost on the job due to the negligence of the higher ups. The lies we have been told over the decades are catching up to us all. If you believe the petro industry is safe, I've got a nice beach side property in Louisiana to sell you, cheap.

When it comes about death or survival, that's when a brave man inside comes out. This men went through that experience already letting that brave man inside him come out.

[@b2originalmediahub468]

13min in and all I can say is WOW!!🤯

[@adam7190]

Oh, BP wanted to do something to speed up the process, making the operation more reckless and risky? What a surprise!

[@napapt]

The fact that the title of this video is plural shows how negligent this industry really is

[@Allfaxnocaps]

Most videos are spelled wrong now days. Its not the industry or producers doing, its who ever reposted the video as if they were the ones who made it

[@ProducerGio]

@Allfaxnocaps you've misunderstood his comment. Hes saying that the fact that theirs multiple spills, its a problem with the oil industry. He's not referring to a problem with the actual title, lol.

[@lrvracer3515]

Wrong !!! The oil industry’s safety record is 10X better than the airline industry (similar accident disaster industry). Relative to the billions of barrels of petroleum produced over the decades, both the number spills AND the quantities of spilled oil would likely be less than 1.0% worldwide.

[@ProducerGio]

@@lrvracer3515 no one cares

[@lrvracer3515]

@@ProducerGio - Oh really ??? Then why is oil the world's largest industry by a long shot. Without oil modern civilization would collapse (just ask Elon Musk). You could not survive for one week without petroleum.

[@asan1050]

Thank you very much!

[@johnblue8029]

I hate BP. I still don’t buy your gas lol

[@rustylove3033]

So they just paid their fines, and dissolved the company, and went about their merry way? So how much damage did they do in the long run??? All these environmental problems don't just go away because everyone runs away and says fk it. All of their assets and bank accounts should be frozen to ensure reparations for future damages also. Behind every great act of humanity there is usually some sinister deed.

[@paulyoungblood7484]

And there's no doubt, nor wonder why our Native American Indians do NOT want the oil lines running through what land US America has given them, known as Reservations.

[@packrat76]

According to who? You realize they get royalties for those transportation pipes. You're comparing apples and oranges. Those are low pressure, above ground or buried under very little soil, so easily accessible.

[@garybarr2023]

Well done to the mississipi engineers etc who helped to mop up that oil bubbling up out of the seabed and polluting everything. Too the Taylor company that was a greedy scumbag move on trying not to take responsibility for what you've done.Aye hope those 3 guys make millions from the oil they are collecting and a big THANKYOU for helping to save the environment for everyone,wildlife,fishermen etc everyone that relies on that waterway for their livelihood.

[@filispirit]

We are still finding that small crustations crabs, muscles are contaminated with oil. I was there when I saw the fires and black smoke shooting in the air and watched as the grouper troopers came back their boats were full of oil and them too.

Ur right … I never understand this craziness. All they do is raise gas prices and we pay the fine and they are like well:: they paying it so let’s just keep it that high till we make double or triple back for them coming at us 😢. It’s a monopoly and should be illegal

[@goldcic]

Sellin my BP stock tommorow!

[@CaptainCrip]

I was out there within an hour after she blew, thankfully the Daymond Bankston, their vessel, was there when it happened and was able to pick up all the survivors. I spent 45 years on vessels in the oil fields, and this kind of stuff was a common occurrence, to take a chance and bypass safety. And that professor is absolutely correct when he said the one whose fault is BP, the paying customer, is always at fault! They are the ones who twist the arm of the contractors. And in the Taylor spill, 3 gallons a day, the oil companies ALWAYS give the Coast Guard a lesser amount than what was actually spilled. Chevron was the biggest fibber of the amount of a spill. But I always told them the truth. I got into a bunch of trouble for calling the Coast Guard on a large spill Exxon had and was using dispersant. They never called it in, trying to hide it, you can't hide a spill like that, just get it away from your platforms and hopefully when a helicopter reports the spill they can't figure out who had the spill. To this day I refuse to use Chevron products from being bullied constantly to go against regulations and safety. Durrel Pelligran with Chevron terminated me because I refused to haul chemicals my vessel was not allowed to haul, I told him I needed to get the boat certified to haul certain things and other things I could not haul due to regulations. He didn't like that, so he had me terminated.

13:13 Crazy thing is I bet that both BP and Trans Ocean put a hit on him. And he’s a real hero for taking on big oil also. And the movie is just as good he is played by Mark Wahlberg. Deep Water Horizon:::

[@calico097]

The sad thing is our government had held patents under lock and key that would greatly reduce the need for oil but it’s the greed that is keeping it locked up.

[@connork322]

Haven't gone to a BP since. And I mean it.

[@coconuts4u269]

I was sailing on a west coast tanker for chevron at that time. Gregory Cousins, 3rd Mate on watch when the crash happened had 1 thing to do on his watch TO CHANGE COURSE and that was not done. The Captain told him he had to make the turn shortly and asked if he understood. The Captain must transmit a departure message when the ship leaves port so that is where the Captain went when he left the 3rd mate. The look out yelled into the bridge that they had a red buoy on their starboard bow while leaving port. This should have an unbelievable event because it means your going on the wrong side of the bouy. She reported it again and this time the 3rd mate told the helmsman put your rudder over to starboard so he did but the helm was on autopilot so its did very little. By the time they realized the ship was about to hit the reef, the order was given hard right rudder. The 3rd mate picked up the phone to tell the captain something was wrong. The captain answered the phone and a loud crash was heard throughout the ship.
