| 26672 | 330 | OIL ON THE BEACH | 3 | deepsouth | Jun 1, 2010 | 2010-06-01T13:35:41-0400 | There are rules, regulations and safety procedures. When followed, along with the use of a functioning blowout preventer, there is a very small chance of this happening. Unfortunately, BP didn't employ any of these measures, even to the point that they knew the BOP wasn't right but kept on anyway. Once you have a blowout at such a depth, your options are limited. The government didn't enforce the regulations and BP ignored standard safety practices. That's how it happened. People didn't do their jobs. They should go to jail. |
