>Dan -- Thanks for the reference and the analysis. I find myself *so >angry* about the situation, but then end up just feeling impotent. We all feel impotent. I've got a friend who's in charge of rigs like that one, and he'd never ever allow that....I heard they didn't even do a cement bond test....if that's true then the evidence is piling up for criminal negligence. And, since it happened over time, with big wigs there, they can't just blame one guy. Not that it helps, but almost everyone in the field feels as you do...at least everyone I talked with. Not only were rules violated, but customary practices were. Sometimes oil patch folks think government rules are needless bureaucracy. But, this is a time when the rules of common sense that are drilled into you from day one were broken. Yes Doug, I know you view Halliburton suspiciously, but think of how bad things are when Halliburton protests that it's unsafe. The only folks who I pity at BP are the old folks who bought BP stock as a sure investment to provide income in their last days.
