60 Minutes Oil Spill – Mike Williams Talks to 60 Minutes

CBS 60 Minutes featured the Oil Spill with Mike Williams, one of the last crew members who had escaped the inferno. 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley spoke to one of the survivors of the deadly Deepwater Horizon oil rig blast who was in a position to know what caused the disaster.

“I hear the engines revving. The lights are glowing. I’m hearing the alarms. I mean, they’re at a constant state now. It’s just, ‘Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.’ It doesn’t stop. But even that’s starting to get drowned out by the sound of the engine increasing in speed. And my lights get so incredibly bright that they physically explode. I’m pushing my way back from the desk when my computer monitor exploded,” Williams told Pelley.
