With This 500-Ton Deepwater Well Cap, BP Is Ready For The Next Oil Spill

Toothless britt, you are uneducated like most britts.
I read it and it's damning to bP. He said they had bad gas problems with this well! Yet skimping on mudd which controls gas pressure. Maybe with only a GED you don't understand mudd circulation, or how they would have benefitted by an American standard double liner? Why didn't you go to college?

Didn't the British also claim Titanic was unsinkable?
The world has learned not to trust English liars.
Wasn't an engineer formerly employed by British Polluters arrested recently for hiding evidence about English lies?
A former BP engineer was arrested on charges of intentionally destroying evidence.
Kurt Mix of Katy, Texas, faces two counts of obstruction of justice.
He is accused of trying to delete text messages between himself and a supervisor, in October 2010, containing details about how attempts to cap the leaking well were going.
In a sworn affidavit, FBI special agent Barbara O'Donnell said Mr Mix had "deleted numerous electronic records relating to the Deepwater Horizon disaster response, including records concerning the amount of oil potentially flowing from the well, after being repeatedly informed of his obligation to maintain such records".
Mr Mix, 50, was involved in some of BP's attempts to cap the well, including the unsuccessful Top Kill efforts in May 2010.
Prosecutors say he deleted messages that indicated Top Kill was failing at a time when BP officials were saying publicly that it was broadly proceeding according to plan.

How many of the dead killed by the criminal negligence of British Polluters were American, Slimy Limey?
sounds pretty self serving and not very informative
the valve was not properly maintained and as a result failed, so blaming on a freak accident is not accurate

He didn't say that at all, anyway even if that was true then the onus is on the rig operator to ensure that health and safety standards are adhered to, apparently only in the US can you employ the Nuremberg Defence. It also doesn't explain why that rig was giving top marks for safety seeing as now there are all those, with perfect 20/20 hindsight, who knew all along how dangerous if apparently was. Well done for using toothless and GED in one post, by the way.

Listen fuckwit, you have asked the same question several times and I have answered several times, I have a degree in Pure Chemistry. I will also remind you because your memory is so fucking useless, due to being doped up all the time, that you once said that the Gulf should have the same safety standards as in the North Sea!!
Remind me, does an MBA course cover oil well design?

Tom Poundgrasp would do well to reflect on the similarities in these two British disasters:
Tony Hayward came to be vilified across America for what looked like insouciance in the face of a seemingly unstoppable disaster, a man with a flair for bad PR.
In the early days of the leak he offered the consolation that the spillage was tiny compared to the size of the ocean.
Later, as the oil came ashore, he apologised for the disruption to the livelihoods of fishing and tourist communities, and said that he too wanted his "life back".
"He wouldn't be working for me after any of those statements," President Obama said, and by the end of the year, he had left BP.
What was to be his life thereafter?
Hayward was 53 when he parted from the company he'd served for nearly 30 years, eventually on a salary of $6m.
He could have reflected bitterly on the unfairness of his role as the lightning conductor for blame – as he said, Deepwater Horizon was a complex accident involving several companies – and then "moved on".
He might have run a charity for tarred seabirds or, as a geologist, spent days with a hammer on the Dorset coast.
It would have been a quieter life – more time on the yacht – but by no means a poor one.
But Hayward did none of these things.
A century ago, disgrace had a different effect.
The chairman and managing director of White Star Line, J Bruce Ismay, felt the full force of American contempt when the Titanic went down in 1912, and he never recovered.
Many of the charges against him echo those raised against Hayward: that he neglected safety in pursuit of competition and profit. Hadn't he persuaded his captain to work up maximum speed while the ship entered an ice field?
Hadn't he refused to equip the ship with more lifeboats because they would over-crowd the promenade deck?
Nothing was ever proven.
Incontestably, however, he had escaped on a lifeboat when more than 1,000 of his company's passengers, including women and children, waited to be saved.
He made a plausible case for his behaviour – he jumped into the boat at the last moment, he insisted, because no more women and children answered his call – but the shame never died.
For HG Wells, capitalism's "noble pretension" had jumped downwards with Ismay: "He was a rich man and a ruling man, but in the test he was not a proud man."
The powerful had been seen to be no better than the rest of us.
Like Hayward, he faced hostile Washington committees of inquiry who grew angry with his blocking answers: "I do not know" and "I could not say" (Ismay); "I am not a cement engineer" (Hayward).
Neither man could charm the media.
To American reporters, Ismay came across as disdainful and arrogant ("J Brute Ismay").
The next year, aged 50, he quit White Star and spent increasing amounts of time at his house in Connemara.
One might also wonder how much he regretted passing up the opportunity to sink, literally, like his 1,500 dead passengers and crew.
But at best, Ismay persisted as an undersea creature, shy and seldom seen.
He never got his life back.
This is what shame and feelings of personal responsibility did, once upon a time.

The Gulf Oil Spill Commission stated there wasn't a deliberate cutting of corners as expounded by our resident oil ex-pert, obviously they didn't seek his bean counting expertise on oil well blowouts.

Maybe chemists for British Pollution should be facing criminal charges along with their engineers?
Yes it's not illegal too not use a backup double string or mudd like much safer american companies do?

Contrast the willingness of BP to accept the need to perform a quick cleanup and deal with compensation with the secretive almost fascist way Exxon dealt with the Exxon Valdez disaster. You need to get off your arse, stop smoking weed and do some travelling, your knowledge of the world is woefully lacking. The very epitome of the ugly American.

When your cultural standard is set at better than Exxon at its worst, you are England. You still have little brother syndrome Tom you toothless Limey!
