 We noted earlier this week the final sealing of the Macondo well with a corrosion cap.

Now, thanks to Bit Tooth Energy, we have footage of the actual cap going in place.

The cap has 11 stars on the top, one for each of the rig workers killed in the April 20 blast aboard Transocean’s Deepwater Horizon.

On the side of the cap it says “In Memory of the Deepwater Horizon 11.”

The men who died in the explosion were:

Dale Burkeen, 37, Philadelphia, Miss.

Donald Clark, 49, Newellton, La.

Roy Wyatt Kemp, 27, Jonesville, La.

Jason Anderson, 35, Midfield, Texas

Stephen Curtis, Georgetown, La.

Gordon Jones, 28, Baton Rouge, La.

Karl Kleppinger, 38, Natchez, Miss.

Blair Manuel, 56, Gonzales, La.

Dewey Revette, 48, State Line, Miss.

Shane Roshto, 22, Liberty, Miss.

Adam Weise, 24, Yorktown, Texas

Here’s a link to an online memorial to the men, including photos from the May memorial service.

Esquire Magazine did one of the better profiles of the 11.
