Good article on the Deepwater Rig Disaster
It is a real shame what damage this disaster has caused. It effectively will limit offshore drilling in the US.
Gotta wonder about role of BP and its contractors. Understand that BOP (blowout preventor) used is single shut off valve whereas in the North Sea, the BOPs have two shut off valves. Seems elementary to me. There are other stories that the BOP was leaking and dead battery, not tested, etc. But, need to wait and get all the facts in.
