I think it’s the pipe that cased the BOP to fail.

"I think it’s the pipe that cased the BOP to fail."

Could very well be true. I've read that BP only put in 4 things that center the casing in the hole, Drillers and cementers wanted 3 times that many since this was a "problem" well. Might very well turn out that casing failure resulted from poor drilling practices by BP.

I've followed investigations into airline crashes. It almost always turns out that a series of small mistakes, poor practices and a little bad luck lead to a catastrophic failure. I'll bet dollars to donuts the same will be true here.
