well it started off bad we were late driveing to gail tx. . we thought we were going to be slow drilling all night but the tool pusher said it was too slow, so had to do a bit trip well we are only 4.650 feet deep so it wasn't going to be to bad so we thought i was up in the derrick for 7 hours last night then i knew i was going to have to pull a double today thats not to bad i do it all the time lol. well when the daylight crew got there the only had one hand with the driller and he said he needed someone else to stay with us . that put the chainhand off his game plan on the floor . i'm up in the derricks with a short stand of drill pipe trying to tell him that it was short ,but he never looked up at me. so i tried to latch it anyways, i snagged it !!! i don't know why the kid hung on to the pipe but i was yelling snagg !!! snagg!!! at the top of my lungs it drug him across the floor to the other side and was over his chest . i'm still screaming for him to move and he's laughing at me like i was stupid. i'm praying to god the pipe wouldn't drop on him. the daylight driller heard me in the doghouse and ran out and pulled him out from under the pipe .... it fell on the floor. i feel to my knees crying like a babyi couldn't move they had to come get me out. of the corner and bring me down. the kid is my drillers son who i think of as a littler brother. if i had killed him i would have jumped out of the derricks myself . i wouldn't be able leave with myself. so yeah i'm upset and a little freaked out right now. so ya'll bear with me ok. thanks for listening to me go and on.
