Couldnt even imagine myself in that situation. Middle of the night, middle of the ocean, engulfed in flames, explosions all around, and you have to jump 10 stories into the darkness below.. Then you get to relive it over and over in your head. No amount of monetary compensation can make up for that.

Williams you are a brave man, with 2 life boats at your disposal you didn't use them because you never wanted to leave anyone behind. A true hero and a true colleague we would all want to work with is who you are.

these oil companies don't care about anything or anyone... the only thing they care about is the money they make.

I love 60 minutes. In fact, the only thing I love more than 60 minutes would be 61 minutes.
