This well is owned by a British Corporation, it will be interesting to see if the AG sues them.
Also, is the rig inside or outside the 12 mile limit?
"U.S. regulators don't mandate use of the remote-control device on offshore rigs, and the Deepwater Horizon didn't have one." + "The U.K., where BP is headquartered, doesn't require the use of acoustic triggers."
Why didn't the US regulators require it? Do they require it of others?

The dead man switch and blowout preventor were apparently deemed sufficient but failed none the less. Its still not known if a remote control acoustic switch would have been effective.
Rush and others are hinting sabotage. Too many coincidences. e.g. one day before earth day.

Most stories I've seen list it some 50 miles offshore...
For anyone that maybe interested here is a photo of the rig. Click the photo for rig details/specifications:
