Frontier Drilling employee Jeremiah Larkin, wearing an orange survival suit, emerges from a submersible helicopter simulator at the Shell Robert Training and Conference Center, located east of Hammond. Mark Michaud, a diver with Montrose Safety Training, helps supervise the exercise for industry workers in an enclosed pool setting at the 20-acre training campus, where 30,000 people a year obtain oil and gas industry instruction. In this exercise, trainees were to stay in the simulator seven seconds after it submerged. Said Larkins, a Bastrop resident, ‘It was a long seven seconds.’
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis.

The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
