Wild Thing's comment......
It is very sad. The world will wring its hands over oily birds, but the men lost are not mentioned
Eleven men were missing presumed dead after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded last week.
Dale Burkeen, 37, was a crane operator on the platform and was trained to lower crew members to boats in an emergency.
He had returned to the rig from Neshoba, near Philadelphia, about a week before the explosion. He and wife, Rhonda, have two children, Aryn, 14 and Timothy, 6.
Donald Clark, 49, of Newellton, Louisiana, was expected to leave the rig the day after the explosion for a three-week break. He was an assistant driller.
Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, has two children, Kaylee, 3, and 3-month-old Maddison, with his wife, Courtney.
He loved fishing and the outdoors and attended a Baptist church in Jonesville, Louisiana, where a memorial service for him will be held today.
Jason Anderson, was a father of two from Bay City, Texas.
Stephen Curtis was an assistant driller on the rig from Georgetown, Louisiana.
Gordon Jones, 28, of Louisiana, was expecting to become a father to a second son with his wife, Michelle.
Karl Kleppinger, 38, of Natchez, Mississippi was a Desert Storm veteran who spent more than ten years working on oil rigs. He was a floorman who made about $75,000 a year working off the Louisiana coast.
Blair Manuel, 56, resident of Gonzales, Louisiana, was a chemical engineer on the rig.
Dewey Revette, 48, from State Line, Mississippi, was a father who had worked for the company as an oil driller for 29 years.
Shane Roshto, 22, was from Franklin County, Mississippi. His family were named on law suits filed by Louisiana’s fisheries industry, accusing BP and Transocean, the rig operator, of negligence.
Adam Weise, 24, of Yorktown, Texas, came straight from high School to work on the rig in 2005. He loved to hunt and fish and play football. He was the youngest of four children.

Hi WT,
Yes it is sad. I have not heard mention of these eleven, only about the environmental damage. This is the first I even saw their names.

Dear God, pray for their souls. My oil patch experience yells out human error. The only difference in what I did and what these guys did was they were on the water. There is no way to outrun an explosion. It seems that they may have gotten lax in monitoring the annulus pressures while finishing the emplacement of well casing, it's obvious that the BOP failed also. I lost two close friends in an '84 offshore Texas platform explosion, their bodies were never found, - incinerated!!!
I hope you all can read this link.
