Diving Survivor : 'I Failed Them'

If the company couldn’t do it the families and divers would’ve saved them

Please to my fellow countrymen here in USA 🇺🇸. LETS PRAY FOR THIS YOUNG MAN, HE IS HONORABLE, ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING

it’s not ur fault man

Why Didn't survivor help them instead save himself

The company had DAYS to perform a rescue. This is truly maddening. The management should be jailed for 4 life sentences

Dude deserves an award for that acting.

SIAPA YG KSINI HABIS NONTON EWING HD ? NGACUNG. ☝️

trash company and also shame on rescue team why they not even try

Just horrifying to imagine what those 4 divers felt.

I hate this. A man who did nothing wrong lives with guilt, wishing his friends were still with him… and the company that decided to let them die continues operation.

The fact this compant is still running is despicable

I would have been a law abiding citizen that day. If you know you know. Such a gruesome,cruel way to die

This is a gut wrenching tragedy and I cannot imagine the horrors this man has been through and is still going through ...it's sickening to me that the corporation made no effort and attempts to save the other men..

They fired him. The only survivor. They fired him after this.

Now this poor man has to live with the guilt of losing his friend's lives all because everyone restricted him from rescuing them. This is terrible. 😭

The nightmares this surviving man has to endure for the rest of his life 😢

If even two of the men made it out of the pipe, there's a chance things would have turned out different. But he was completely on his own.

I can't believe they waited for them to die. There were so many willing to help and they refused because they didn't want to have to pay the consequences.

😔😔 it is not your fault . Paria is evil .

One word: Greed

He did not fail them. Hes a true hero. He even tried to go back down and save them when he realized no one else would. The company and Paria failed them, not him.

Paria failed them. They did nothing to save those men.

This is so unhuman from them, life is worth everything and everything should be done to rescue them just like we humans do, it's not even about their lifes but about to end this absolute horror they were experiencing. And what a brave man that he wanted to go out but maybe he was so scared not brave that he needed to do something.

Here are some additional facts:
1) They were in there for 4 days and on the 3rd day people were still hearing banging on the pipe
2) Paria got the coast guard to stop divers from rescuing the men trapped
3) There were multiple divers ready and willing to go in from lmcs and rescue that same hour but were all blocked from going in
4) Paria said the coast guard would be doing the rescue but the coast guard said they had no equipment
5) The families of all the divers sat in the refinery carpark for 4 days waiting to hear news about their loved ones and the company couldn't even give them some water to drink, it was community members who brought food and water for the families
6) They left those men in there to die and when 4 days had passed and they were sure they were dead they flushed the bodies out the pipe as quickly as possible; this damaged the bodies and flooded any air bubbles remaining so if the men were alive by then the flushing operation probably killed them
7) The bodies were retrieved in secret, placed in boxes to disguise them and then snuck out via a back entrance, while the family members were left waiting
8) The families were never informed that the men had died or that bodies had been retrieved; they found out via a television news program
9) No one from Paria ever met with the families at any point, they were just outright ignored
10) When questioned in the commission of inquiry it was revealed that no rescue plan was ever made; they simply sat and waited for the men to die
11) Paria had the pipeline capped off on both ends so no one else could escape.
12) Chris tried to check himself out of the hospital but was restrained and forcefully sedated on the orders of Paria who feared he was planning on mounting his own rogue rescue operation (he later confirmed he was)
13) No arrests were ever made or charges filed and no one was fired or at least suspended from the company for the failing
14) Not a single cent was paid to any family yet
15) No new security measures or operational protocols were ever implemented or existing ones updated to prevent something similar from happening; indeed, Paria never even promised or announced plans to make any changes of any kind whatsoever (the remaining and new divers that were brought in were simply told to be more careful and that it was responsibility to prevent accidents of any kind)
16) When first informed of the accident, the first thing that Paria managers asked was how much downtime there would be; this was their first and only concern
17) Paria resumed operations the very next day after the bodies were retrieved (although the company wanted to resume work the very same day but it was nighttime already); this included the pipeline where the accident occurred which was put back in use the next day as well (in fact, 5 minutes before they started using it again they flushed one last time: Bits of diving suits and human tissue were still inside and once they came out of the pipe they were simply discarded in the ocean)
18) The company has an extensive history of corruption: Its managers are in bed with the government and they use the company to do underhand business so they can steal tax money. The company was originally called Petrotin until a scandal involving the prime minister who was found to be selling the oil illegally on the side using a friend as a straw man; to avoid jail they closed the company down and started 5 new companies from it Paria being one of them. Furthermore, local rumors have always swirled around claiming that the government is doing oil deals with Venezuela secretly to avoid sanctions as Maduro and The TT prime minister Rowley are apparently good friends and if the divers had survived the spotlight would be placed on the company which would also face legal actions from these men (dead men can't sue you or go public with what they know), thus making it much harder to do their corrupt deals so they were left to die and the government-run company got away with it with no consequences

UPDATE: Clarity

Many died in hell to build heaven for one

what makes it more sad is the fact that these men got the accident because it was their jobs, they were not there for fun cruise or personal diving challenges.
when those 5 rich folks disappeared in a submarine in search of Titanic remains, the entire coast guard were dispense to look for them. We spent millions if not billions of dollar to search for those rich folks who took a fun cruise. YET, no one tried to help those 4 men who got stuck in there because they were there to do their jobs.

The company fail him... and his crew. Chris did everything right.

rich people mentality: We could save them, but that would cost too much.
You can disagree with me but your still fucking wrong.

Whoever had the authority to send a rescue team and chose not to deserves to be kidnapped by jigsaw and be put in a saw room.

Lives don't matter when corrupted money hungry companies are involved.

Bro this man had to cry every night thinking about that cruel moment...

I feel so bad for this man what a horrible thing they all went through and human kind let them down 😢

Christopher you tried everything you could to save them, you did NOT fail them!
You are a hero!
If Pariah had even a fraction of your character, they would’ve saved those brave men.
The world desperately needs more people like you. ❤

He wanted to save them! The workers were just too irresponsible and dint save them.

Only thing worse is the doctor who got stuck in a cave in 2009. My problems feel so small.

Survivors guilt, it is not his fault he did everything in his power to help the other men, it is the fault of the oil company for not sending rescue and not even making aure that the pipe was actually full of crude oil like it should have been

I wish he wasn’t hard on himself. He tried his hardest and it wasn’t his fault that the company did not send a rescue team.. this is a TRUE tragedy 😞

The worst part is that a rescue was actually possible but they didn't want to spend the money to actu6save them. May they burn in the depths of hell for leaving these men to die a terrible death.

The shit company failed.

It's so hard to watch.... Poor people... =(

Chris is a hero! He risked his own life to safe his friends. Imagine the trauma that he had to go trough..so sad.. all this drama while he was only there working hard to make a living. You have every right to feel left all alone. Just know that the good people in the world are thinking about you and sending you love ❤

I hope justice will be done…

😢

Corporations are true evil.

autopsy revealed they died after 2-3 days!!!!!! they could have done something

the actions of these companies is like hoping for wrath of God.. oh well too late anyway rip trinidad and tobago

So they couldn't be saved but you got the Bodies out for autopsy on how long it took them to die 😑
