That makes no sense at all. BP is taking a hit here from 4 different sides.
1: the cost to shut this thing down
2: the cost to clean it up
3: the cost to restore people who depend on the water to make a living
4: lost revenue from the sale of the oil.

Please explain why BP would throw risk management out the window again?

Not sure about all that being document but we sure know who gave them the OK to start drilling without the proper permits.

I can deal with the liberal slant of all your posts, that's all cool, but if you're going to make a statement please have your facts straight:

Deepwater Horizon Inspections: MMS Skipped Monthly Inspections On Doomed Rig

The Deepwater permit for drilling this well was issued under the Obama Administration. The Obama Administration did NOTHING to fix the lazy inspection process. Don't try to pin this on Bush. His Admin certainly shares fault, he was lucky something like this didn't happen on his watch.

You might want to look that up because its old news that Obama administration tapped that well. You are right that BP cut corners thinking nothing would ever happen because it sure didn't save them any money.

The 60 minutes link you posted provides the answer. If BP was losing $ 1M + per day from not being able to get to the oil reserves fast enough and they pressured the TransOcean folks, risk management and safety took a backseat to meeting the estimates to the "Street".

How's the bottom line looking now BP a-holes.
