Drilling for oil even in deep water is safe. The fact is that BP and the rig operators ignored a bunch of safety issues.
They didn't shut down the rig when chinks of the BOP showed up on the rig a sure indication it wouldn't work if needed.
The BP rep insisted they go ahead with the capping even though the crew chief was complaining their was pressure build up coming through the concrete seals.

They Diesel generators raced and exploded after the the Natural gas came to the surface .. There is supposed to be equipment that shuts the engines off when this happens.

This wasn't an accident it was criminal negligence.

BP has a long record of killing people this time it was in the Gulf instead of in Texas City.

The sad part was this was to be a very proffitable well, there was going to be lots of money to be made and the money saved by shortcuts, is so miniscule in comparison to what could have been made, and what it is going to cost in liabilities.. Makes no sense.
