Some thoughts. BP has changed. A lot. Twenty years ago BP was fanatical about Health and Safety. Somebody decided to change that in the name of cost cutting. A little delving into that history would be very interesting.

I've heard it said that the best outfit to deal with a spill like this is Schlumberger. BP is in bed with Haliburton so that won't happen. The US government is in bed with Haliburton too of course.

The other parties to the spill; Transocean, who operated the rig, Haliburon, who did the cementing, the minority partners in the well, seem to have taken remarkably little flak for the incident.
