I was, I found it very interesting that the guy on the deck of the work ship that received the ROV appeared to me to be carrying a weapon and wearing a hardhat. Maybe it's just me, but if that was a member of the Coast Guard, I wouldn't expect him to be wearing denim and a standard issue hardhat.

They have to be on guard against "wacko environmentalist extremists" who might try to sabotage one of the rigs, you know.

Since we know that's who REALLY caused the current disaster... Rush Limbaugh said so, after all. :eyes:

2. I replayed it, didn't see a weapon.
Looks like he was holding the hoist controller.

Had a bunch of tools on his tool belt.

Nothing looked like a weapon.

:shrug:

4. As soon as he turned toward the camera
...the feed I was watching (CNN) went to green. It was just a flash shot of him. Did you see a different feed that kept showing him?
