MorichesDaily User ID: 989102 United States 07/23/2010 12:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Looks like somebody is setting up to take the blame off the executives. Michael Williams said he understood that the rig had been operating with the system in "inhibited" mode for a year to prevent false alarms from disturbing the crew. Williams said the explanation he got was that the leadership of the rig did not want crew members needlessly awakened in the middle of the night.
