They gave no recognition to the PHI helicopter that circled over them for 30 minutes till the workboats go to them. They gave no recognition to the workboats who saved them. They gave no recognition to the platforms and rigs that saw the fire and dispatched boats and helicopters to rescue them. If it wasn't for the rigs and platforms, they would still be floating with their ice chest. There was a couple of ships that passed by and didn't call or render assistance.
They gave recognition to the friend on the boat who told them to wear PFD's and tie themselves to the ice chest. That's all.
Deepwater Pathfinder, Development Driller 3, Ursa TLP, Mars TLP and the Q-4000 were involved and the ATP Titan was on the radio, willing to give assistance if needed.
PHI helicopter circled overhead giving info. until the USCG helicopter got there.
Chouest boats C-Contender(rescue boat), C-Hero and Kobe Chouest were the boats that were dispatched to rescue them.
No mention of the USCG helicopter crew that went on the C-Contender to give a medical evaluation on the 6 guys. No mention of the USCG Cutter Pompano that gave them a ride back to land.
