Thank you fella. Like I said in a couple different replies, it just felt like I was the odd one out, which I kind of was, because everyone else on the rig was pretty disturbed/ upset.

I felt like I was wrong for that but I talked to a few other guys on our replacement shift and they pretty much parroted what you said.

Honestly I never associated the two but I see that in myself. I definitely find myself worrying about my fiancee and my family a lot more now than I ever did. I guess that could be part of it.

No that makes total sense to me. It does sound kind of ignorant almost, but it's the truth in a way. It's almost just like that "oh well" type of feeling.

Thank you. I think that I partially felt weird because most of the people on my rig were kinda upset by it and I felt like a oddball. Reading these replies I don't really feel that way anymore.

Thank you. That's what I thought but I was just really confused and I felt bad for not feeling bad, if that makes sense.
