[QUOTE=alcor;37691]I am hopeful that BP survive this Disaster. Why? Because they employ over 60,000 people worldwide, and that’s a lot of jobs to throw away.
No-one is disputing the fact that they have caused the worst environmental disaster that I’ve heard of. No-one is disputing that the cost of the clean-up has to be met. No-one is disputing that they hold ultimate responsibility for the failures in this well which killed 11 men. No question about it.
But, is it possible that all of their 60,000 employees are responsible? No. But, they’ll all lose their jobs if BP goes under.
I don’t know which ones will be found guilty, but I’d imagine those who by-passed BP’s procedures and best practices will be held in contempt.
Who are they? That information will come out soon enough.
Right now, BP are being battered to bits by the media and by many on this site. I believe it’s in the interests of everyone to learn all the lessons from the Disaster, make the industry safer, and get back to work. That includes BP.
BP, are not all bad. They, have provided the world with the energy requirements we all need. Obviously, it is completely unacceptable to cause environmental disasters.[/QUOTE]
Alcor, please!
Enough with the endless BP apologetics! Right now, they are the al Quayda of the industry, so when you come to their defense, it just makes Company Man 1’s blood pressure rise, and
it takes away from anything positive you have to say.
