Mike and Mr. Jimmy make their way to the bridge and try to cut the drill pipe. However with the pipe buckled the pipe can't be cut. Upon realizing this, Jimmy gives the final order to abandon ship as nothing else can be done. The last lifeboat leaves with Mike and Felicia still on the Deep water Horizon.
With no option but to climb up to the helipad and jump out over the fire into the water, Mike and Felicia make the last ditch attempt to save their lives. Once picked up, they are taken aboard the rescue boat where roll-call is taking place. Mr. Jimmy realizes that no-one from the drill shack made it out alive. (The real Mr Jimmy Harrell can be seen at this point, check out the trivia section for more details on how to spot him).
Afterwards we see the crew arriving back at the hotel and being reunited with their families. After this there is a few clips from the investigation on the events of the Deep water including clips of the real members of the crew. Following this there is a memorial montage for the 11 people who lost their lives.
Continuity mistake: When Felicia Williams goes to see Mike at the hotel after the accident, her nails change. During the accident, they are a pink color, but after and in the hotel, they are unpainted. It's unlikely she would have her nails done during and after the accident.
Trivia: When Mr. Jimmy is calling out names on the boat to see who's missing, the real Mr. Jimmy Harrell is standing next to him, wearing a dirty grey T-shirt (and presumably playing a random rig worker). You can first see him (from the back) when Russell calls out Caleb Holloway's name. The first view of his face is just as Russell gets out the life raft onto the deck of the rescue ship.(01:28:30)
Question: Did gases really go all over the exterior of the rig, and into the engine room as shown?
Answer:According to survivor reports, yes. In a gas blow-out, a huge quantity of pressurized petroleum gas pours out for many seconds, forming a rapidly-expanding cloud, before a single spark finally ignites it. Typically, the outpouring of gas creates its own spark as static electricity builds up.
