I just wanted to say I think that enviormental disaster in the Gulf is just too unreal. I think offshore drilling is a bad idea to start with, given the risk if something goes wrong.
The thing that really bothers me is that an Acoustic Switch could have been installed at first, and would probably have triggered the blowout preventer, and stopped the spill from starting. They are not required in the UK were BP is located. They are required in many countries around the world.
BP saved some bucks up front, but at what cost?
Does anyone else have any opinions about this tradgedy?
