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.
Factual error: Mike would not drive down to Port Fourchon to pump gas in his truck, to drive up to Bristow heliport in Galliano (30 miles north). In actuality BP uses PHI helicopters out of Houma. That alone is close to 130 mile wasted round trip.
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: Is it true Jimmy Harrell was taking a shower as the disaster began?
Answer:Yes. There are actually many cases where the actors portray what the actual people were doing at the time of the disaster. Another example is when the guy (I can't remember his name off the top of my head) rubs mud off the main drill pipe.

The guy who rubs the mud off the main pipe name is Caleb.
Thanks it's been a few weeks since I last watched the film.
