History is usually written by the victor, but in this case, it will be written by the victims- thousands of pages of depositions from Gulf Coast residents, fishermen, and others whose livelihood depends on the ocean. This is a horrific lose-lose situation for America and the oil industry. The damning evidence has been revealed on 60 Minutes, and in a series of well-researched articles by the WSJ. BP ignored warnings of potential problems in the BOP, casing, and pre-cementing process. And for what? To save a few days, and a few million dollars. How does it feel to lose half a billion dollars, and more, BP? I suggest MR readers follow the discussions on Yahoo's message boards, notably the ones for BP, RIG, HAL, and CAM. This leak was not an accident. It was caused by negligence.
