Total and complete incompetence on the part of BP. This is what happens when accountants and lawyers run engineering companies instead of engineers. An MBA is not competent to run such a company.
Sadly this is true. We have gone such a long way to disparage the manual arts our educational system and via society in general. No one is smart unless they have a BA, MA or PhD behind their name. Thank God for people who can actually DO things. My roommate has a MBA but could not balance a check book to save her life. It's up to me with the AA in nursing to write the checks
