Sometimes we have grounded every plane of the model involved in an accident.

In 1979 the FAA grounded all DC-10s until they were able to determine why they had a tendency to fall out the sky. My extended family had to scramble to find alternate flights to Hawaii. I got a lot of us booked through Chevron's Thomas Cook agent which routinely blocked-out seats in advance in case we needed them.

On 9/11 Bush grounded every flight for a while.

We think we know many of the things BP did wrong, but it will be nice to examine the BOP in a lab to make sure what some have guessed is actually the case.

As an example, I'm pretty sure we're going to move to BOPs with two blind sheers spaced so not more than one can encounter something it can't cut. And that' going to first require a retrofit for many drill rigs.
