BP is run by very greedy and extemely stupid short sighted men.

This Sunday on CBS 60 minutes you will learn exactly why and how the oil diaster occured.

BP argued to eliminate putting in the 3rd plug of drilling mud to seal the well with the weight of filling the pipe with mud.

Halliburton argued that the well haed had broken due to an explosive gush of gas 2 months earlier so they did not know how much pressure was in the pipe since the valve had shattered and had come out the top of the pipe in pieces. With no way to know the pressure Halliburton argued that a total sealing of the pipe was necessary.

BP said that filling the whole mile long pipe wioth mud would take too much time when they were ready to pump oil.

BP won the arguement.

This entire argument actually took place aboard the oil rig that blew up 3 hours later killing eleven people and set into motion a oil diaster that could spread across two oceans.
