The rumor passed around was that the casing crew beat him up.

I have never seen the automated rigs. There are supposed to be 4 coming down to North Texas from Canada(?) the first of July.

Yeah, that’s just a rumor. The hand didn’t tell him he was coming down so it was just as much his own fault as the drillers.

Here’s a good rundown of the Top Drives.

This is the actual rig that the accident we’re talking about happened on. You’ll be surprised how quiet they are.
