My take away on this debacle is that all of the oil companies were promising in their environmental impact statements that they could handle a 100,000 barrel per day spill. They were all lying. BP got caught in that lie. - JTS

Operative words are "Spill" as opposed to "Blow-out"

They were all trading off profits for safety. - JTS

Well John a certain Mr Bartlit seems to totally disagree with you, you know which Mr Bartlit I am talking about don't you JTS, the one in charge of the Federal Investigation into the Deepwater Horizon Incident, the put in charge of it by the President of the United States of America.

Don't know about any apologies from Barak Hussein Obama but I bet there are few who earlier on were extremely vocal on this and other associated threads have now wound their necks in, there will be no apologies from them either, not the thing really to put your hands up and admit that you got it wrong.

The shit of course will really hit the fan when it comes to revealing what went wrong with the BOP and why TransOcean took 40 minutes to react.
