^ Wow, an apologist for BP. They should hire you (but then you might have to pay taxes and we don’t want that, do we?)
BP was at fault for not maintaining their blow out prevention equipment and it is alleged that they falsified data pertaining to safety checks on blow out prevention kit elsewhere in Alaska
“They believed in good faith that they had back-up systems. They were wrong.”
The problem is that they skimped too much on maintenance and backup. Sure, we don’t need to line them against a wall and shoot them, but they do deserve some blame for that.

Aww, poor BP. Still say there should be no offshore drilling allowed along any of our coasts! And what’s this got to do with Latin America?

So true. For all of Big Oil.

Arrest BP execs and liquidate the company.

cabrobst, while watching the news this morning, I was thinking “Why can’t they put them all in handcuffs?” So, thanks for your comment.
