[QUOTE="klein, post: 743444, member: 23950"] Lucy, as you might recall, I started this thread. Basically got laughed out over my concerne, that it will become the largest man made disaster on earth. Now , where are we ? Any predictions ? Or better said, any better predictions then you original thought ? Klein was right ! And it hurts, doesn't it ? Maybe if the US Government would have thought as fast as I did, a quicker response would have been into place ? But, I'm no expert in oil spills, but more boats and skimming should have been out there at day 1. Oil Centrifuges are nothing new. They are used in the oil industry all over the world. Esspecially here, in the oil sands. International help with ships and centrifuges should have been requested a.s.a.p. But, damages from day 1 were underestimated by BP, and your government. (Rate of the oil leakage). BP, did it , to cover that up, too. (didn't work) ! But, BP reminds me of the way UPS works , too. From the top up, the corperation units get pressured making numbers...putting District , regional, and then center managers, down to the sups, under pressure to make those numbers, no matter what. The Horizon Rig was just another "Center", that was "forced" to complete a job on time. And, thats the sad part. These things can happen with basically any larger company. Next time, it might just be a powerplant that has several units, and 1 big boss, over demanding production output ! (units per man hr) - the new rule in corp ! and ofcourse cost per package/man hr (old trucks and equiptment) Face it, it's cheaper to pay settlements, fines, etc, until something really big happens.... like with BP.
