i thought it was supposed to be fairly safe, the modern
way to get petro.
i'm not a environ freak but fuk spills in the gulf can't be good for Louisana fishing

Yeah the whole thing is a mess...They better get on that "alternative fuel" source stuff because this isn't helping their plans to start drilling on the East Coast...

More evidence that we need to tell the greenies to go F* themselves, and let us drill safely under Los Angeles again, and throughout the USA where there is plenty of oil. Offshore drilling is profitable, but not necessary if we open up the areas of land to drilling which now are "protected". If you drive up Hwy 150 out of Santa Paula, CA toward Ojai, there is crude oil bubbling up on both sides of the road, since they've been prohibited from drilling in that area for the past 40 years. Adding insult to injury, the taxpayers pay $millions a year to have that crude oil disposed of in a toxic waste dump. Now Senator Boxer (Dem., CA) has put an extraction tax on any CA drilling, which basically says she wants us to be slaves to the terrorists of the Mideast, and what little drilling goes on in the USA, will be outside of CA. Los Angeles and Ventura Counties have more oil under them than most other places in North America.

Blowouts are just the nature of the beast in the industry. Always trying to prevent them for safety, environmental as well as commercial reasons but they are never completely preventable.
Don't know what the post mortem is on this one yet but almost sure it will be some equipment failure as there is automated equipment that is supposed to be the last step in preventing this.
BP needs to change their name from British Petroleum to Blowup Petroleum. Everything they onwed over the last 5 years has gone bang!!
dude that entire rig sunk! the discovery horizon lays at the gulf bottom fuct up.
and 11 good working bros dead.
and i thought you were gonna call me out for only pointing out louisana gulf industry, when texas is right there too!

Wells blow out - rigs burn down. Happens more often than you imagine. Usually just shows up in the local press unless you have a big blaze offshore like this.
Not trying to downplay it or the deaths. But it is part of the industry. Something that is worked on every day to prevent but still happens from time to time.
Also, this has nothing to do with being offshore or being in deep water. More to do with hitting high pressure formations when you are not ready to take on that pressure. Can happen anywhere.

I was. For not long though, about 1.5 years.
There was a guy who used to be in the Mexico gulf, can't remember the name.
Spongebob was also involved in the industry
