ST's BP Rantings

[Colin]

If the U.S. had required something called an "acoustic switch" to be installed on the rig, which cost a paltry $500,000 (compared to BP's billions in annual profits and the millions they are spending daily to fix their mess)

WHEN exactly we will all feel there's sufficient evidence to begin issuing murder indictments?

If that's how you feel, let's start with the US management of the North Sea oil rig Alpha Piper, which blew up killing 167 workers. The worst offshore rig disaster ever. Occidental, was found guilty of having inadequate maintenance and safety procedures. There's a surprise, not!

"BP will pay whatever it takes and will be there as long as it takes to put the Gulf Coast right." According to him, he "guarantees" that BP will put it right.

Why do you believe him. You've already said you don't trust corporations. So why do you trust BP?

He also said that any claims for compensation take 48 hours from initial claim to getting a check.

Of course they will you dumb twat, they want people to take as little a pay out as possible as quick as possible, the last thing BP wants is all these claims to wind up before a jury! Its amazing you're even breathing your brain is so damaged.

I am sick and tired of ignorant little half-wits like you you have to refer to women they are debating as "twats".....

if thats all you can do perhaps debating politics or any such matter is beyond your maturity and level of intellect....

With the clock ticking, bad decisions went unchecked, warning signs went unheeded and small lapses compounded.

On April 1, a job log written by a Halliburton employee, Marvin Volek, warns that BP’s use of cement “was against our best practices.”

An April 18 internal Halliburton memorandum indicates that Halliburton again warned BP about its practices, this time saying that a “severe” gas flow problem would occur if the casings were not centered more carefully.

Around that same time, a BP document shows, company officials chose a type of casing with a greater risk of collapsing.

Despite noticing cementing problems, BP skipped a quality test of the cement around the pipe. Federal regulators also gave the rig a pass at several critical moments. After the rig encountered several problems, including the gas kicks and the pipe stuck in the well, the regulators did not demand a halt to the operation. Instead, they gave permission for a delay in a safety test of the blowout preventer.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally?

WHy are they so chatty now yet refused to comment when the WSJ contacted them?!?!?!?!?

The scrutiny on cementing will focus attention on Halliburton Co., the oilfield-services firm that was handling the cementing process on the rig, which burned and sank last week. The disaster, which killed 11, has left a gusher of oil streaming into the Gulf from a mile under the surface.

Federal officials declined to comment on their investigation, and Halliburton didn't respond to questions from The Wall Street Journal.

[Truthmatters]

They are all to blame and will try to wriggle out of it any way they can

So I guess you refuse to live up to your name. Truth DOES NOT matter.

Also note those last two statements.......

 

[Care4all]

there was no one person BP put in charge of everyone they had subcontracted...it was chaos.

Why BP would not want to have a coordinator foreman of all the jobs being done, just does not make sense and seems negligent.

Its not unusual for someone who is giving testimony to a government body to refuse to talk to the media about it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I thought Halliburton was evil? Cheney? What the fuck?

Both Halliburton and TransOcean are trying quite hard to wiggle off the hook. So is the current Administration.... only BP is manning up.... and only BP is getting slammed. Weird.

 

[Truthmatters]

BP manning up ?

You are a real fucking foriegn corporate whore arent you?

Halburton is trying to "get off the hook" by having issued warning to BP BEFORE the rig blew up? That's not "getting off the hook" - that's what you're supposed to do.

Seriously how much BP stock do you hold?
