The BP whitewash. That's all this report is. PR Whitewash and blaming the crew for BP's outrageous corner-cutting.
I guess in today's america, where there is no accountability if you're powerful and rich, we let the criminals investigate their own crimes and we accept their blame-shifting conclusions at face value. Of course it was the dead crew's fault. Did anyone ever expect a different conclusion from BP?
I haven’t read the report but from the posts here I don’t see anything to change my opinion the root cause was a series of risky choices made by BP to cut time and cost that materially and unacceptably increased the risk of a failure.
