i feel i have gained wisdom in my years by simply looking ahead when planning projects. before one even starts they should really take into consideration all possible events. it seems no one even thought of this one.

look on the bright side. if you ride your jet ski there you can just stop and scoop some fuel in the tank.

does suck huh but not sure anyone could have avoided this eventually. it happened before and will happen again but it is still sad to see catastrophes like this.

When a catastrophy happens you do everything and anything to not let it happen again, this happened 31 years ago in 1979! you think we didnt have enough time to advance our safety practices in this industry? they advanced their production practices to drill deaper and farther, but I guess updating their safety programs would cost too much?!?! How about the cost of the 11 lives that were lost! Those 11 people are just pennies for BP! SHAME!
They could have avoided this by making sure their safety programs are up to date with what they are doing! This industry's safety program is from prior to 1979 thats for sure, but they sure put out alot of commercials stating how advanced their production is. Its like going to war with spears, arrows and leather armour in 2010...... Then saying I dont know why we lost that one, must have been just an accident, sometimes they just happen.

Sure fire way to not let it happen again......... no drilling! Look elsewhere for energy.
Safe way to drill........ redundant safety measures, multiple releif bores, have a plan in case of accidents.

Drill Baby Drill.....Drill Here Drill Now.....remember those words the Repukes sang....now the USA USA is suffering because of people who just wanted to Drill Baby Drill and Drill Here Drill Now unregulated... and you still have some Repukes who are defending BP.

did you see that shit today? fuck that guy. chickenshit bastard couldn't answer a question to save his life. or anyone else's.

BP should be criminally charged for their negligence.

the reaaaallly scary part for me is that the 210,000 gallon per day estimate is from bp and they admit it's at the low end of the range. some scientists have estimated the flow as 10 times as much.

2 million gallons?

I don't think so, that sounds way too high.
