I was in a meeting offshore and someone busted in the door and said that some dumba$$ pilot hit one of the towers. We all went to the TV room to see it on TV and the other plane hit the other tower. We couldn't believe that there were 2 pilots that were that dumb.
Then the ****e hit the fan. All helicopters were shut down, we had 2 big USCG cutters patrolling around us for a year. We make 150K bbls/day and the platform next to us was making 225K bbls/day at that time. We were stuck out here for 6 days after we were supposed to crew change.
