Not to Monday Morning quarterback but the oil industry should have had one of these babies sitting on the dock just in case. It looks like cheap insurance. You have at least 10 big major oil companies who could have chipped in and paid the storage costs.

not sure if one size would fit all, but I agree, so it might costa a bit but i the long run, what’s a little insurance, right?
Some mechanism should be in place ready for most situations short of massive failures.. I don’t recall if this is a custom rush job but suspect it was.. the idea may have been around, they just didn’t have opportunity yet to build this big before..
pretty nifty idea. if it works. ;-)
This is engineered specifically to contain the situation. This is only one team working the problem and it looks like they are writing the book on how to respond to a mess like this. It will be interesting to see what the other teams are coming up with as this is only a temporary solution.
