I think it will come out that BP was tired of losing 500,000 dollars a day, and after losing one bore hole and starting over with a second one, they said, DO IT NOW OR ELSE!
My understanding is that a squad of high ranking BP “suits” flew out just to make that ultimatum, and make it stick, basically steamrolling the lower-ranking guys from the contractor on the rig.
BP is like a drunk behind the wheel and should be banned from the industry. The BP Texas City Refinery explosion and this disaster are both egregious actions that shock the common mind.
I wouldn’t contest that version at all...after all, I would expect people to be screaming at each other constantly with all the money that is sunk into these types of things.
Same bunch having the party while the explosion took place I bet.
