exemption from federal safety regs for capping the well

and that's EXACTLY what I've been trying to tell anyone that will listen. BP is NOT trying to STOP the spill, they're trying to contain it in order to recover their costs

You are correct but my statement says that BP requested a saftey exemption for the concrete plug and it was granted. The well not having the concrete plug is the reason it exploded, it couldn’t contain the back presure of the gas and oil.
