That's what I've been thinking all along. It is in BP's own self-interest to stop the leak. It's costing them lots of money. It's not like they WANT to lose all that oil. But the DUmmies are angry at them like they did this on purpose.
This was an accident, with loss of life. Surely no one thinks it was done on purpose?
The loss of 11 lives also loses their expertise. It may be that BP would have been successful already it if these people had survived. Can you imagine suddenly losing the talents and abilities of 11 of your co-workers?
BTW, I am also fascinated with the live feed. I don't have a clue what they're doing but I can't stop watching - though it seems to be offline at the moment.
