As best I can tell, the answer is "there isn't anything we could do" and since that isn't an acceptable answer, it was decided not to ask the question. Safety is expensive and inconvenient. And the offshore drilling operations seem to have a relatively good safety track record. On the other hand, the worst case scenario, obviously, is really really bad. So what level of confidence do you engineer for? What is practicable and financially worthwhile? And given that the worst case scenario is bound to happen at some point...is it worth it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321632 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
