Pity the Afghanis found a greater profit in gorwing and selling heroin than they did in mining their gemstones. Can't believe their country was rich in natural minerals all along and they didn't know!
Questionable practices by BP leading up to the spill, corruption in the DOE oversight of the rig itself, a "safety award" in 2009. After the explosion the governmental response has been underwhelming to say the least. 3 days after the start, the dutch offered booms and assistance which was declined. Lots of finger pointing but very little action. On day 60 we get a rosy, glowing, clueless speech appointing a lawyer to oversee and a new slush fund for the Govt to administer. Meanwhile 50 million gallons a day spew. Where is the leadership?
It's the same old story - you can't trust them. They will cut whatever corners it takes to maximize profit, end of story. Applaud exceptions as they arise.
Apparently they will be filing for bankruptcy in which case the big cheeses will move on, not forgetting their multi-million dollar bonuses.
Never mind, it's the way the world is. We can only hope that it doesn't happen on our own doorstep.
Immediate and appropriate action must be done in order to save the precious lives of sea creatures and the entire ecosystem. We can't afford to lose another portion of our underwater resources. I just do hope that the people responsible for this will be punished to serve as an example to others.
