00:00Elvis Philip tells The Morning Edition the family hoped the search would provide closure,
00:07but after what the company says was months of extensive searching, they have been left with nothing.
00:14He stresses that the emotional strain remains unbearable,
00:18and the grief of losing a loved one under such circumstances is compounded by unanswered questions.
00:25It's a very hard time. You know, from time to time, I'll see a son post a few stuff about him,
00:32and I know he's sitting inside. Actually, for my mom birthday, we try to keep her surprised, unfortunately,
00:39too, now, in the test, because, you know, her son, one of her child, wasn't there.
00:44You know, she could keep it in, and she broke down in test.
00:47He describes conditions on the vessels as deplorable, insisting.
00:52This was no freak accident. Philip is calling on OSHA to enforce stricter safety standards
00:58to prevent other workers from suffering similar fates.
01:02He tells TV6 he wants justice more than anything else.
01:07I would love to see compensation, but most importantly, I'd like to see justice.
01:13Again, I mean, unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to share to the public the information that we receive,
01:20but I would really like to see justice. I'd like to see the system working, right?
01:27I mean, it wouldn't bring back my brother, but it will make things better for persons who work in that oil and gas industry.
01:36Philip also reveals that law firms have approached the family about potential legal action,
01:42something they are actively considering.
01:45There are a few companies, legal companies, that reach out to the family, both local and international,
01:50so we will explore some of those options going forward as well.
