I knew it -- BP has been playing all along for "capture" not "capping".

They want(ed)/want the cash flow. Stopping the blowout is a distant second priority.

Amoco pulled the same play when False River blew out 30 years ago. Capture and sell, not close in and redrill. Cash now, early cash, nearby cash, to top executives is like sex to teenagers. Can I borrow the car keys for sex? I'll make a run to the grocery for sex. Can Cindy come over (and over, for sex)? We're going on a field trip, can I go (for sex)?

Always the money, money, money. People have a right to be pissed at BP management -- putting cash flow before people and collateral damage, again.

Ping to my last rant.

BP screwed the public.

WHERE did you dig up THIS tidit?? I'm from Pointe Coupee parish (which is where False River is located), and lived there when the blowout happened. There was no indication of any such attitude at that place and in that time.
