I think they-as in the BP engineers and workers on the ground, not the smarmy executives and our incompetent squared govt-have done pretty well and at times surprisingly well in containing the oil coming out so far given what they have had to work with. I can see where you are coming from-I to hear most media coverage tell it, everyone from the bottom up who works for BP is a useless screw up. But I think how badly the govt has also run the affair cannot be overestimated. And to be honest, I still wonder of this could have been sabotage.
Could well be for all we know since the truth has been had to find in this situation
