I meant to add too that when I say it reminded me of the Titanic, I was thinking of the Senate investigation that displayed who did what after the sinking.

When I read the article yesterday, all I could think of was the Titanic. Everyone who should have stopped it, didn’t or wasn’t able. It was a scenario of everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Either by accident or human error. Just one part of the guy who was roused from sleep to hit the emergency shut down was getting dressed to do it when the explosion hit. When you are digging in methane fields, why would you have to get in touch with TWO senior people to use emergency shut down procedures?
BP is really going to take a hit on this. Not just in their errors, but in the procedures as well.
BP should take a hit on this, especially after the refinery explosion in 2005. But unfortunately, Shell is going to take a hit as well.
