Same thing they did with the relief well measured depth verses the actual depth. There were stories saying it was 15 feet from busting through and BP was lying about the August time frame.
Yeah, and that was particularly egregious because they were getting detailed information on the relief wells on a daily basis. Then there’s just plain old common sense, why would the company that has to pay the cleanup costs delay things?
There’s Katrina-style reporting going on here, and I continue to be amazed by the fact that the same people who hated it the first time are falling for it now.
