"A company shows a pattern of ignoring safety rules, causes a complete environmental catastrophe, that kills 11 people, and ruins the lives of thousands of people. No one arrested. No one charged." Yes, allowing the Alaska line to corrode to failure, and probably the Texas refinery blowing up were BP management and safety failures. However, it was Transocean doing the drilling. The way I understand it, the cuttings from oil drilling are continuously being examined under a microscope and the "pebble gazer" can tell by a sheen on the cuttings that they are approaching hydrocarbons. When pieces of rubber showed up in the cuttings and were reported to the Transocean supervisor he made the decision to ignore the evidence as it was nothing to worry about. One wonders at the thinking of this person. You are 5000 feet down to bedrock and thousands of feet into bedrock, where is the rubber coming from? Obviously something is coming apart! Maybe the blow-out preventer? Was there a BP rep on board who instructed Transocean to keep drilling? If not, Transocean were the culprit.
