BP had full command and control of things up until the rig blew, then suddenly it became everyone else “shoulda, woulda, coulda” and poor BP was just the corporate victim. BP is running the game long term, keeping the public in the dark, muffling bad PR, hiding continuing Corex use, clandestine dead animal cleanups and threatening legal action against anyone coming anywhere near to provide an independent, unbaised observation and accounting. Any bets on whether Corex causes oil to become heavier than water and sink to the ocean floor? Gotta love the shrimp and crabs from the Gulf!!

Risk-sharing so that all players understand the level of buy-in and the expected outcomes associated with risks from each vantage point. In the event of failure, the contracts should spell out who is responsible for what and under what circumstances.

My guess is that BP will be forced out of business because of their recent disaster in the gulf. They will come back to life under a new name.

If this was their first issue with OSHA I would have some sympathy, but their neglect to fix the Texas City violations and resultant “Failure to Abate” Citation shows they don’t care about worker safety very much. They should be held accountable.

If it is proven that they cut corners on saftey then the company should be 100% accountable and criminal action looked into. This could and should have been prevented.
