I know some people that would take any work they can get.

Me too. Wish BP would hire them.

information on original problem will be a while before settled.

If accidental, I'm going to hazard a guess at static electrical discharge of some sort.

I am deeply worried .... will this add to GW or save the planet?

Nearly all of the early reliable reports indicate this started with a blowout. A sudden increase in pressure from the reservoir 2.5 miles below the seabed which was nearly a mile deep in the water.

A lot of things went wrong to reach this point, but it most likely started far deep below, like a gas pocket releasing.
