Deepwater Horizon survivor still has nightmares

Posted on Jul 30, 2010

The man who conducted pressure tests on the Deepwater Horizon drill pipe said his concerns about abnormal readings were dismissed less than four hours before the platform exploded. Ryan Haire, who worked for Halliburton, said that after telling a driller about his concerns at around 6:00 p.m. on April 20, he was assured that there were no problems and the operations proceeded. When the blast struck at 10:00 p.m., Haire was knocked from his state room through a bulkhead and into the galley, resulting in back and shoulder injuries. He still has nightmares and said he sometimes knocks his wife out of bed in the middle of the night. Haire is suing BP and Transocean along with 18 other workers.
