Re: so BP 'f'd' up......buuuut

yea I would want the best thing for all but it seems to me that someone has dropped the ball. I was talking to an engineer down here about it........older guy.....and he said these blow out preventers are insane tough.........and that it was his opinion that it was some spec that was missed..........during that conversation another guy indicated that gas was coming up the sides of the pipe before the explosion and that would indicate improperly sealed BOP. In any case I have not been hearing about any solutions.....only that they need to pay...........well that isn't cutting it for me. I would rather see it stopped then they can pay. That should be the main focus........not who gets paid. And it feels like it is the other way around.

Yes I knew about the gas only but that is how they always stop oil leaks above ground is with an explosion. Maybe not nuclear but I don't know why they used explosives..........and many experts are saying it would work just as well below the ocean as above...........so who knows really? I really don't know how they would seal cracks when they can't even seal the pipe of 22 inches. Good stuff though.
