Over 100 men stranded on drill ship in Gulf during Ida, no rescue in sight: 'Crying in the hallway'
Fox News
More than 100 men say they are stranded on a drill ship in the Gulf of Mexico after Hurricane Ida swept through the area, and they don’t know when they’ll be rescued.
Crew on the Noble’s Globetrotter II drill ship, which is located about 100 miles from Louisiana’s shore, said they rode out the storm as 80 foot waves and 150 mile an hour winds battered the ship. The crew said Noble Corporation and Shell were supposed to rescue them, but help never arrived. "Being on the top deck, you can look through the glass and see the bottom of the rig at certain points in time. We had 60-80 foot seas that we were getting hit with, so the boat was sideways, getting pretty much capsized in the water. Someway, somehow we didn’t flip," he said.More Related News
