The gentleman killed, Malachi
The gentleman killed, Malachi Jackson; was a good friend and co-worker of mine and I'd like to say a few things about him as a devoted Son, Father, brother and friend to many... After working 15+hours a day, everyday, he was forced to leave location under the threat of being run-off and replaced over having a few shells of ammunition in his vehicle! Now I'm not going to comment on the Oil/gas operator that initiated the threat but the fact that we work such grueling hours everyday just goes to show how tired a person is after working like this for months on end with no time off. The fact is most of us in this industry CANNOT AFFORD to take time off due to the losers in the past that filed the "overtime lawsuit" so now we are all hourly workers. THOSE f-tards are the real blame for this man's death! In the end, he wasn't drinking, he wasn't drugging; he was told to leave location because of a few rounds of ammunition and instead of just warning him of the ammo in his vehicle and making him throw it away, the safety man instructed him to remove the ammo from location and this particular individual and oil/gas operator should be held accountable for his death! Look what you idiots cost us! Over some stupid ammo? Are you f**king serious!? You know who you are and you should be ashamed of yourselves and I would HATE to be in your shoes b/c I'd feel completely responsible FOR THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFE!
Thank you for letting us know
Thank you for letting us know what happen. This is Jenn... the one he was always on the phone with. He had to have been over worked and falling asleep for this to have happened. Why didn't they just have him throw it away! WTF... I can't understand. And now this wonderful man is gone. I'm just at a loss.
I totally agree Jenn.
I work for the same company.
i worked with Malachi since
i worked with Malachi since Dec on this rig. He was an honorable man. I actually went to the site of the collision this morning it’s anout 15 miles from the rig to pay my respects and have a moment of pray for his family. It didn’t matter who you were or where you were from he made you feel welcome. We shared some good times out here on this rig and he is and will be missed by many. If there is anything I can do or questions I can help answer please don’t not hesitate to call me. 210-608-1793. May God watch over you all and help bring comfort and peace to all of us that were affected by this horrible tragedy.
This is such a tragic
