Blowout: The Deepwater Horizon Disaster
 A Survivor Recalls His Harrowing Escape; Plus, A Former BP Insider Warns Of Another Potential DisasterFrom Sunday's 60 Minutes show, as reported by someone who still watches it. The video is 14 minutes, but the text is maybe only ten, some of it gripping. Summary - BLUF - Blow Off Preventer was damaged weeks ago, signs were apparent, no one cared. BP was pushing hard, because the driller was behind schedule, then BP altered the sealing procedure to save a bit of time - [my guess is maybe a whole day; possibly two]. The combination of the damage and the risky procedure was fatal to eleven. Posted by: Bobby 2010-05-18 |
