Please pray for my dear friend, neighbor, and extended family, her husband is the Chief Engineer for the Horizon and they will not give her any information regarding her husband.

Also, from a reliable USCG source, there were 15 originally missing, and as of 8 am only 4 still not accounted for. . .no confirmed deaths.

I also have spoken to a rep at the USA Burn Center in Mobile, AL that said the 2 that were flown in have been treated and were stable enough to go home.

The post about the missing ppl being found is fals from what i just found out

[egemeaux]

Hmm several news sources have it posted

[bularf]

Doesn't mean anything.. Was informed they are still missing

[egemeaux]

Yea I am seeing reports now that nothing is confirmed.. Hope they do confirm that they have found them and everyone is accounted for.

[fixin]

THANK YOU LORD! Everyone has been found and accounted for . . . best of all. . ALIVE!! Still praying for the families and crewmembers. . . such a dramatic start of the day.

Also. . . it needs to be said that making a loved one, spouse and mother of 3. . . wait for 13 hours and 40 mins to let her know if her husband is safe or not. . . is uncalled for and unethical! Something needs to be said to improve the procedures once an emergency occurs.

[egemeaux]

fixin, it looks like the reports of them finding the missing crewmen was premature. Unless you have a direct source?

These images were just submitted via gCaptain's tip line. According to the message, they were taken about two miles from the rig.
