Re: Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave
You'd have just thought that they would have some safety method in place that could have prevented this, for example, the blowout preventer having a manual mode of some kind where it could be manipulated with the robots. Basically a backup plan for the backup plan. I know the robots tried to get it to work, but it seems like they pretty much knew that they had long odds from day one. The whole operation just seemed to be too dangerous in the event that something went wrong. and something did go wrong.
I dont get the feeling of BP being calculated and measured, as some people on this thread have alleged. I see a company that is scrambling for solutions they never possessed in the first place, a company who is dealing with a staining public image, and now a company who may face criminal charges. Tony Heyward, BP's CEO, looks more and more gaunt each day. That man didn't cause this problem, but i'm sure he will end up losing his job over it, and could possibly go to jail....it's just hell in the gulf right now.
We are past the limits of science, or what man can do to fix this. Man has no way to fix this. Nothing short of divine intervention will save the people of the gulf. It's time to Pray. God is the only person who can fix what they did.
