Survivors of the oil rig disaster
speak out.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-survivors-people-jumping-off/story?id=10586288

<snip>
As federal regulators begin to express doubts about the safety equipment designed to stop blowouts on the nation's thousands of offshore oil rigs, survivors of the Deepwater Horizon disaster are coming forward to express their anger at what they say were the failures that led to the explosion and the deaths of 11 of their fellow roustabouts and roughnecks.
Deepwater Horizon rig workers say there was no alarm before the first blast.

Many of the men had worked together on the Deepwater Horizon since it first arrived on station off the Louisiana coast eight years ago, including crane operator Micah Sandell and Dewayne Martinez, who supervised the roustabouts.
