Trying to decipher the article where a reporter tries to cover a subject about which he has no knowledge:

1. BP appears to be claiming that some of the rams weren't in the BOP cavity where BP thought they were.
2. Trying to close the wrong ram caused a problem which either delayed or prevented kick control.
3. BP must have had their head in the sand or elsewhere when all of the testing of the stack went on during drilling.
4. Transocean hasn't sounded off on this excuse.
5. Moving rams from one cavity to another isn't something done in secret.
6. No one has mentioned trying to close one of the annular preventers.
7. I've not heard mention of a diverter system which would have directed the gas to the leeward side of the rig.
8. If a "gas bubble" suddenly appeared at the surface there must have been a lot of people asleep at the switch and alarm system not working.
9. Maybe some day we'll have a believable story about what happened.

Carefully compare the article as posted above and the text that appears at the actual site it came from. The two are widely different. Notice in the text above sentences end and begin randomly and do not even exist in the original.

The original may have been updated since the posting, but that does not explain the broken sentences above.
