The Pop-Tart Whisperer
From what I've read and seen including an interview with one of the workers who was on site, Transocean had its hands tied at times by BP reps who disregarded problems or over-rode decisions. An andular/gasket was blowing rubber bits through the line days before and it was ignored. One of the key computers failed and wasn't corrected. Among other things.
Among the oil industry, BP had a reputation for safety gaffs. As stanch a conservative as I am, I have no problem when someone makes a profit but when the greed becomes so dangerous (such as Wall St) I say cut the umbellical cord.
