[QUOTE=cmjeff;31976]Combine this with the rumors it was the crew’s last tower of the hitch and they lost the toolpusher to a newbuild 2 weeks before… [/QUOTE]
It was their last tour, but the TP on tour had been there since she was new. He was invited to teach well control last year at Transocean and turned it down. The Sr. TP had been there almost as long and the off-tour TP had been there well over a year. The OIM was there over 6 years. Maybe they lost a TP on another crew, or maybe one of these guys was leaving soon, but the ones onboard at the time were very experienced and good at their jobs.
