There was some lawyer for one or more of the workers on the rig who said that the surviving workers were told by TransOcean that they had to sign a statement saying that they didn't see any problems or they would not be allowed to go home.
I don't know if it is true or not, but I could imagine that a bunch of people who were exhausted and probably still frightened might not have the good sense to tell a company flunky to pound sand or get slapped with a kidnapping lawsuit.

Oddly enough, a friend of mine down in that area told me that everybody down there is talking about it. It is barely even a topic anyplace up here that I have been to.
