One of my brothers used to teach hydrography at the University of Southern Mississippi, so he worked through that side of the industry. Otherwise nobody in my family is working in the industry. My father was in the air force, so on the search and rescue side we always kept kind of plugged in there.
On the changes, it is very hard to imagine that things could be worse than they were in 1982 on the Ocean Ranger. There is no polite word for how bad that was in terms of the mismanagement of that rig, and not just around basic operations of that oil rig and into the evacuation problem.
I would like to say something about the costs.
