It looks like we know how these things work and we have had a similar experience. I was not aware of this incident and thanks for the post to educate us on this thread of this incident.

However, it looks like the oil lobby is very strong in DC and they are thwarting all efforts to have regulations that stresses safety more than drilling. If we do not have the technology to shut down systems in the event of sudden development of pressure imbalance, then we need to suspend all drilling off shore until such time we have one.

After all we have strict enforcement agencies such as the FDA. I wonder why we cannot have such strict regulations for the oil industry and Wall Street. And publications like dailykos etc. are not helping the situation with their constant din "to stop off shore drilling" instead of strongly advocating "strict measures to ensure safety."
