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.

I agree that it may not have come from the well. Seems like a distinction
without a difference. Oil in the water is still oil in the water. If there
was an explosion, then there was a big problem, and the system did not, in
fact, work.

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.
