what was going through Joe Meanen's mind when he literally threw his life away in that split second? I mean, he had just a day left on the rig and you'd think he'd be counting down the hours till he could finally go home to his family
but nope, instead of waiting it out, he chooses to risk everything for a quick exit
. And what about David Campbell, who was literally over the moon because he's having a baby and suddenly finds himself in that nightmare scenario?
The fact that those lifeboats were just floating around, like they were just toys, is just insane
. I mean, Occidental Petroleum (Caledonia) Ltd got away with basically nothing but a slap on the wrist
. It's like they thought it was just business as usual
.
And can we talk about the lack of safety training? Like, what even is that?
I would've expected everyone to know how to evacuate in an emergency by now. But nope, not on this rig
. So Joe Meanen has to rely on his instincts and basically wing it?
But you know what's amazing? Joe Meanen's story of resilience
. I mean, he's still around, running a pub, married with kids... that's like the ultimate comeback
. And he's still advocating for better safety measures?
That takes guts and determination. He's not just surviving; he's thriving
.
I think it's kinda sad that Joe Meanen is still getting flak for jumping off the rig. Like, what else was he gonna do?
