2nd update in the OP.
Sorry for taking forever. Satalite has been out since I got up today.
As far as the accident, we were in open hole only about 7 stands out from 8200'. They were trying to spin out of the stand with the top drive and had the stand on the rig floor mat and set the tongs in a fucked up position and also the tong dies were worn out. When the Driller put torque on the pipe the tongues spun CCW and then CW and then slammed the Floorhand right into the drillers consloe and shoved the console onto the break handle. Pretty fucked up and the Driller took full responsibility and is still pretty torn up over hurting the Kid.
Just glad he wasnt killed. The pictures I saw while finally picking up our motor and bottom hole assemble, were bad and could have easily crushed him to death or crushed his head and killed him, so very greatful for that.
That's great news! Glad to hear it.
Good to hear he wasn't seriously hurt! Tell him to enjoy light duty! You should should teach the kid to run tools while he is on light duty.Quote:

I will find out details later tonight.Quote:
