    A survivor's tale - aired tonight on 60 Minutes here in the U.S. Unbelievable!

    "I hear the engines revving. The lights are glowing. I'm hearing the alarms. I mean, they're at a constant state now. It doesn't stop. But even that's starting to get drowned out by the sound of the engine increasing in speed. And my lights get so incredibly bright that they physically explode. I'm pushing my way back from the desk when my computer monitor exploded," Williams told Pelley.

    Pelley jumped nearly 100 feet into the dark burning waters below to save himself.

    Seems to be squarely BP's fault according to Pelley, by rushing the temporary 'cap-off' of the well, and a faulty Blow Out Preventor they knew was bad, but were almost ready to cap the well and pull the rig away.

    • Williams jumped, not Pelley.
      According to Williams, not Pelley.
      Sorry, I'm tired.
