Was Ronaldo throwing himself on the floor again?
Well there definately are some people to blame in this case, but to take on BP as if the whole corp is entirely responsible is a daft thing to do.
There have been so few accidents of this type mainly because there are so few wells of this depth, from what I have picked up the mud they were shoving down the well to keep the oil and gas in leaked unexpectedly into cracks in the surrounding rock, just one of the many things that could go wrong. If anybody needs a talking to its whoever was responsible for maintaining the safety systems such as the so called 'blow out preventer'. They need to explain why the rig was not fitted with an automatic trigger for the relevant safety gear and perhaps more importantly somebody needs to explain why the regulations meant there was no need to. Its not just BP at fault here, I'm sure that if other oil or specialist drilling companies in the gulf were investigated they'd find more disasters waiting to happen.
See, when you think for a few minutes rather than just bluntly directing all your rage at BP, you see that its a lot more complicated.

While I'll agree about the blame culture and excess hysteria there really is no need to talk to people like that unless their opinions are genuinely stupid, not just different. But then that just isn't your style is it?

Well at least they recognised their mistake...

If it was the FIA there would be no explanation or apology.

Shouldn't you be at school?
What will you do if I don't? :mischievo
We really don't need such bloody minded ranting, can you contribute anything reasonable?
Sorry I mean a witch hunt is a little different to holding people accountable in that a witch hunt is driven by ignorance and hysteria while punishing those actually responsible requires reason and investigation. No doubt the powers that be will chose the former option regardless to keep the idiot masses happy, always a good idea to have a clear hate figure to direct attention away from their own failings.
Plenty of mindless hysteria in this thread, but this is the internet after all.

Of course serious negligence and greed helped cause this accident (it nearly always does), but I'm concerned about those who seem to think an environmental disaster on this scale can and should be cleaned in weeks and that wells can and should be 100% safe, which just isn't the case. People are stomping their feet demanding more action but now the accident has happened and the opportunity to prevent it has gone there isn't much more that can be done. It dosen't make what has happened any more acceptable, but a witch hunt of businessmen wont fix anything.

BP are using him as a fall guy, to take all the hits from ignorant people who are looking for a clear enemy to demonise. When the crisis is over they'll probrably give him the shove and somone probrably no less responsible will take his place, smelling like roses.
Not wrong, we learn from our mistakes, not much has been learn't from previous spills but perhaps the massive media attention this time will make it harder to forget.
I often do this when my connection dies.
Picking an enemy and ranting is the first resort of the idiot, by all means abuse where its due but not when it isn't...
Looks like someone is a few sandwiches short of a picnic

I remember seeing a programme on Discovery where some stunt man was going to do it in a bulldozer, I think he packed it in though.

Stop it, hope is the greatest of all treasures! :doh:
True, I'm just glad for the sake of my nerves that it isn't.

At least it'll only be a week or two until the Scots shut up now. :irked:
Ahh well least we have F1! Where... Vettel won. :cry:

You better not have eaten all the Mars bars while we were away.
At least Germany will win fairly, if it had ended 2-1 it would've been ridiculous.
It'll be fecking justice that's what it'll be
just one more goal I don't even care if England lose by 90 minutes they really deserve it.
the Germany Serbia game is another example of just how much of a joke the officialdom is, also nice tackle by the ref on Milner in the first half.
God I'd feel better if Germany had won 5 nil, at least it would be fair.

England were ****ing robbed, officials this year have been an absolute disgrace
England defence is the only thing that comes close to that joke
Germany better win by another goal now or it'll be an undeserved victory
