    Oh. Just general negligence then?

    BTW and per your link:
    Bartlit said that BP's much criticized design for the well, known as the long string design, did not directly cause the April 20 accident. And Sambhav Sankar, the deputy chief counsel for the commission, said that the design offered "some value over the long-term life of the well."

    But they said BP's well design did pose several other problems that might have indirectly contributed to the explosion.

    They said that the design limited choices about how much cement could be used to seal the well and should have made both BP and its cement contractor, Halliburton, very cautious about how they proceeded.

    Both officials said the design made it more difficult to boost pressure of the drilling mud without fracturing the rock formation, which would complicate the cementing job. They also said that the long string design might have contributed an ac ulation of debris and drilling mud that might have interfered with a device known as a reamer shoe that plays a role in closing an important valve in the central drill pipe.

    "These things individually are common in the industry," Sankar said about the decisions made about how to cement the well shut. "Taken together they're something that should have been in the head of the design team, cementing team, and if nothing else should have led them to be very careful, very concerned about what they were going to do next to test the job."

    It's always a good idea to read an article before posting it.

    Self-ownage = best ownage.

    I figure Bartlit will end up working for BP, sooner or later, if he's not already rolling in BP dollars under table, stashed somewhere overseas (BP knows how to hide dirty money and evade taxes)

    Maybe you are just assuming why I posted the article? After-all, I didn't say why, except that it was for lib s. If you are trapped by it, maybe you are one!

    I never said there was no fault, did I?

    Please. How can you be so stupid to assume you know why I posted it?

    It's always about money, but nobody thought what they did was dangerous.

    I guess if money is never a concern, we would all be driving in cars made out of anium.
