D.E.S.P.O.T

The gusher continues to spew crude oil There are no reliable estimates of how much oil is pouring into the gulf But it comes to many millions of gallons since the catastrophic blowout 11 men were killed in the explosion that sank one of the most sophisticated drilling rigs In the world The deep water horizon This week, congress continues its investigation Congress has not heard from the man you are about to meet One of the last crew members to escape He says the destruction of the deep water horizon had been building for weeks in a Series of mishaps The BP company man was sitting directly beside me And he literally perked up and said Well my process is different I think we're gonna do it this way And he kinda lined out the way he thought it should go that day When the gas cloud was descending on you, what was that like It was really scary, and it burned my eyes Go go go Go go go So there were these emergency doors with six stainless steel hinges As I reached for the handle I heard this awful hissing noise Just pshhhhh And at the height of this hiss, a huge explosion happened The explosion literally rips the door from the hinges Impacts me And takes me to the other side of the shop And I'm up against a wall When I finally come around with a door on top of me I began to crawl across the gridwork of the floor As I got to the next door It exploded Me, the door, and the other door went 30 feet backwards again At that point I actually got angry I got mad at the doors And, I was mad that these fire doors that were supposed to protect me were hurting me And, I was mad that these fire doors that were supposed to protect me were hurting me And, I'm hearing the alarms, and they're at a constant state now just beep beep beep it Doesn't stop And, I'm hearing the alarms, and they're at a constant state now just beep beep beep it Doesn't stop I'm hearing the alarms I'm hearing the alarms At that point I made a decision I'm going to get outside I may die out there but I'm going to make it outside So I crawl across the grid-work of the floor and make my way to that opening I walked outside and I thought to myself I accomplished what I set out to do I made it outside
