The widows of two of the men killed in the April 20 BP Deepwater Horizon explosion told a Congressional committee that their husbands had pride in their jobs even while being worried about warning signs on the rig in the weeks before the disaster.
Natalie Roshto and Courtney Kemp said that their respective husbands Shane and Roy had expressed worry about all of the mud that was being lost and numerous other problems that pressured them to produce oil more quickly.
The women said that better enforcement of existing laws is needed instead of creating more laws. They also supported repealing the 90-year-old Death on the High Seas Act which limits wrongful death liability more than three miles offshore.
Nine other workers died in the platform explosion.
