Re: this government won't bail out BP Macharius Send a noteboard - 10/06/2010 05:00:36 PM
i'm still not sure how it's BP's fault, not that i have been too interested in the story. pipes leak, it happens. are their pipes somehow inferior to other pipes or is there someway they could have foreseen and prevented it? i would like to know being fairly ignorant on the topic


The pipe isn't "leaking", the wellhead exploded when BP knowingly used incorrect procedures when trying to cap it. BP management was aware of problems with the wellhead as much as a year ago, and still did nothing to prevent what occured.
