27. So the wrong people were trying to operate the BOPs?
OIM = Offshore Installation Manager. Are you saying that in the rush to get off the rig after the explosion, the guy that was responsible for operating the BOP fled the rig leaving untrained people to try to activate it? But I thought the BOP was supposed to operate automatically. Or do I have this wrong?

BTW, I appreciate your taking the time to explain this to me.
