If BP can prove that was using the absolutely most expensive BOP ever made, will that get them off the hook? If they can prove that they followed absolutely every rule in the book, will that make this okay? I seriously doubt that you're going to find that BP was doing anything improper or out of the ordinary on a corporate level. If there is blame, it'll probably have to fall on someone that was on the platform itself. Some peon that was surfing the net when he should have been working, someone who didn't do his maintenance checks correctly, someone goofed off because it was too hot, too cold, raining, he was hungover, etc. |

If they can prove that they didn't cut corners anywhere (including emergency cleanup resources) I'll back off with my opinion. Until then I guess I'm off to be "lucky I change the oil in my bike and stuff"

It isn't the scale of the operation or the difficulty thereof that is really driving a lot of the frustration. The same industy doing the drilling is also responsible for not allowing alternatives to really grab hold. They "caused" the spill to happen indirectly through action along other fronts.

My point is that the greatest amount of control is on the ground. Some suit sitting in an office somewhere has little to nothing to do with day to day maintenance... In fact, it's always been my experience that the working men spend a large percentage of their time trying to figure out ways AROUND the ridiculous safety measures that guys in suits dream up. The CEO of BP most likely has an ARMY of guys who's only job is to dream up regs and rules to make oil rigs safer.
