This is getting ridiculous....
Time to crack down on BP's competition and helping BP with the cost of cleanup using tax money.
Ixtoc was bigger.... wiki says that it was all cleaned up real quick but I've heard anecdotal evidence you still gat tar balls on your feet at some beaches cus of it.
No it is time to get rid of limited liability for the officers and senior managers of a corporation and have them and their personal assets on the line for the behavior of the organizations they run. BP should not survive this as it will have to pay damages to lots of folks for lost income, cleanup, damage repairs and the like.
I wanna read a report comparing the amount/causes of private deepwater oil spills vs space travel, particularly because drilling 5 miles under the ocean is more difficult from an engineering perspective.
