[QUOTE=New Orleans Lady;35877]copany man, do you think,then, they were aware the bop was malfunctioning?[/QUOTE]
What I am saying is the whole idea that you’re going to proceed to push all of your primary forms of well control beyond their limits & say if all else fails we will just close the BOP & risk the lives of 126 people, the rig, & the environment of the gulf coast region on the BOPs when they are strictly intended as a last line of defense isn’t just dillusional it’s flat certifiably crazy.
Edit: We have no “proof” the BOPs actually malfunctioned. We only have BP’s word right now & they just might have a reason or ten billion not to be totally honest.
