Because if they they did or could, they would want their precious profit making oil .They just don't have clue because none of it has even been done at this depth. Fixes that work in shallower waters do not work at this depth & temperature. Although they said they could handle a worst case scenario, we are finding out they can't.<br />Worse their pot shot guesswork is making things worse-- the chemical dispersant basically breaks up the globs of oil, just sweeping them under the surface, only making them MORE toxic than just the toxic oil itself. <br /><br />This junk shot theory, blasting stuff up the pipe, could potentially cause that pipe to explode & gush @ 12x the rate. <br /><br />It's a total crap shoot. <br /><br />Christopher~ In the real world, people would be fired. <br /><br />nonnie: This man is the star witness, and I am glad he recorded his observations, because I would think his life would be on the line. <br />He clearly witnessed the chain of events that culminated in this disaster. I'd be watching my back, if I were him. <br />But to hear both all the critical parts of the story, and his personal experience, and the jump off the platform. .... that is gutwrenching, and his will to live & series of events he endured- after all that- so many brushes with death, he becomes the primary whistleblower. <br /><br />Plus did you catch that "safety meetings" involve talk of how much money the delay was costing & to hurry it up. That's BP's version of a safety meeting?Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-48506538427933141452010-05-25T15:58:52.431-07:002010-05-25T15:58:52.431-07:00i saw that interview on 60 minutes. i hope this g...i saw that interview on 60 minutes. i hope this guy will be a witness for the prosecution when some people are charged with homicide, among other charges.nonnie9999http://mikk2.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-90578272920412265092010-05-25T13:20:53.695-07:002010-05-25T13:20:53.695-07:00Minerals Management Service Staffers Enjoyed Free ...Minerals Management Service Staffers Enjoyed Free Sports Events, Internet Porn and Meth<br /><br />http://fromtheleft.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/minerals-management-service-staff-enjoyed-hunting-trips-sports-events-internet-porn-and-meth-use/<br /><br />Our government at work.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-44368624573278293432010-05-25T06:28:53.932-07:002010-05-25T06:28:53.932-07:00Is the pathetic lack of response from BP an oil in...Is the pathetic lack of response from BP an oil industrial plot to give Obama his Katrina?
