I can't quite believe I found out about this event through the subsim radio room... I gave up watching TV about 7-8 years back, but this was so gripping I read every single post thoroughly, some good points have been made, and some bad. made me larf BP asking for help from other oil companies, though I bet they ain't finding it so funny. @Catfish your knowledge of this drilling business seems very deep, I'm guessing you are/were employed by a company who is/was involved in this game, or maybe you're just very well read... conspiracy theories will abound at every available opportunity you can be sure of that, though I wouldn't pay it any mind personally, it's more like 'that's what they want you to think...' than they realise
. I sincerely hope some genius comes up with a quick plan to solve this QUICKLY though or it's gonna be a big black oily stain on EVERYBODY on this PLANET given that our predilection to environmentally damaging resource gathering and 'I don't give a **** who cares as long as we (I) get rich' attitudes are the primary catalysts for catastrophes such as this. We are all guilty of it no matter what moral high ground we try to clamber up. Damn it I want gas to run my car, how would I do without it? The electricity that runs my computer right now is at least partially sustained by burning fossil fuels, probably mostly.
As a Briton I would like to add that although this situation is primarily an American concern (although I really hope the whole world is watching, there are lessons to be learned here), I am sorry for sticking my 2 cents in but, my condolences and best wishes go to the families of the unfortunate victims of this disaster, may they find peace and resolution in the coming actions of the brave, for they will come, of that I have no doubt. Human beings are that, the most astounding of creatures, and they have weathered many many great storms before this one.
