If this was the end result which they expected it was hardly worth bothering.

Is it just me or has it just got worse?

they didn't expect this, which is why they have another cap ready on the sea floor

I'm sure they expected more and it does look worse.

indeed - i wonder if there even a source for this. i am continually hearing and reading reports of the general U.S. public balming the brits in general but cannot find any hard evidence.

Everyone is to blame for everything but you can count me out as I'm not playing the blame everyone game.

The Deepwater Horizon platform explosion was not caused by greed. Fact.

Transocean owned the rig, staffed the rig and maintained the rig, yet they've largely escaped any blame whatsoever.

Seems like the Americans are just trying to trash a British company.

BP is ultimately responsible for the subcontractors it chooses to do business with , they should be more careful with their parnters
