+1 on the lack of contingency planning.

I would have thought this situation would have been planned for and rehearsed, using inter company resources and government entities. Not the containment of the leak, but the mitigation of a leak deep underwater.

The only thing between this kind of disaster and the ocean is a single layer of pipe wall? This has been going on this way for how long? Maybe E and P has to be done this way, but there should be a series of steps, equipment standing by, trained personnel etc. ready when it fails.

This is a failure of the system. At least Obama had the tenacity to include the federal government in the blame game.

This is the oil industries’ “Three Mile Island”. Always said the Obama era would look like Jimmy Carter’s. Look for an Iranian flare up next, but spare me the disco music.

Too late. Lady GaGa and her disco crap has already topped the charts. Lets face it Jimmy Carter used TMI to destroy the nuclear industry. Obama will use this to destroy the oil industry. Coal is already on the ropes from the eco wack jobs. I hope everyone likes to live in a mud hut eating cold porridge because that is where we are going.
