This may actually be an example of the system working.
If the reports are right there were no fatalities and no oil was
spilled. That is better than the normal drive time experience in your
major city. Oil rig worker is a safer job than cab driver

There's a mile-long slick, according the news. An explosion is the
"system working"???

Just because there's oil on the water doesn't mean it came from
the well. I'm sure they have diesel generators on the rig and you
need to store the fuel. The explosion could have blown that up.
There wasn't an explosion or an oil slick. Early reports are often full
of bad information.

As usual, you're the one who's a liar.

Did you read the article?
"Troedson said Thursday afternoon that Coast Guard boats and aircraft
have not been able to find a sheen."
It was the title of the article

That's nice. The "system" didn't work, however. They're just lucky nobody
died.

Knee jerk reaction. No oil escaped. You are a moron.

In any case, the "system" didn't work. When the "system" works, there's no
fire, explosion, and people in the water.

So do you think that instead we should buy all of our oil from the
middle east? You are a moron.

Do you think there's a difference? Oil is on the world market bozo.


You are a moron.

You're the BassDog? He does this same bs. You're a stalker or stalker wanna

Damned unions. Don't care anything about keeping their workforce safe,
just take money from the companies. Oh, wait, I claim here to be a union
hack.

without a difference. Oil in the water is still oil in the water.

Actually there is a huge difference if you think about it: Oil from
the platform equipment is finite and will stop relatively quickly; Oil
from the well can take months to control as we have seen.


But, in the case of BP, the shutoff valves did not work. This one, from
what I see, the shutoffs worked, and with the slick being finally
described as less than a mile big, there wasn't a lot of fluid lost from
anything. The wells seem to have "shut in". Which means the closers
worked and are holding the oil back. It IS a production rig, and that
means that the wells have been drilled, and oil may be coming out under
its own pressure. If any natural gas is present, that stuff is highly
pressurized. Have you ever been boating, and noticed how big a sheen a
tiny bit of gas makes? A mile long slick could be like a few hundred
gallons, maybe less.

So, I guess that the BOP worked. Great. At the failure rate of 40%, they
got
lucky. Tell us again about how the system worked with a fire, explosion,
and
people in the water?


There was no explosion.

The system worked because they had an accident and nobody was
seriously injured and there was no oil spill.
We still don't know what caused the fire but the rumor is it was a
welding accident. That happens wherever they weld.

It would be wonderful if all occupations were totally accident free
and nobody was killed at work but that is not the case.
It turns out oil driller is actually pretty far down the list of most
dangerous jobs, far behind construction workers, cops and firemen.
Loggers and fishermen have a job that is about 5-6 times as dangerous.

Hummm British newspaper over hypes a rig fire British Petroleum

Why not read the USCG reports that say no explosion and no oil spill?
They were onsite, not 3,000 miles away, sitting on an agenda.

Oh, so it was just a huge fireball, unless you're claiming the photos are
doctored.

You live too close to Hollywood. Fireballs are not explosions, no
matter what you see on TV.



Oh come on! 13 people went into the water. It wasn't some simple
fire-extinguisher fire. There were injuries. It was certainly classified as
an explosion.
