Oh the Irony

While Dread goes further off the deep end, interesting stuff has come up from the BP camp; but first a video collection of what their fuck up killed:


Now news.
The ROV hasn't shown a change in behavior yet, but thats to be expected this early.

Plan to sue BP? Get in line. In fact, BP hopes they can get you to line up in front of their hand picked, industry connected, judge.

Spoiler:

Facing some 100 lawsuits after its Gulf of Mexico oil spill killed 11 workers and threatened four coastal states, oil giant BP is asking the courts to place every pre-trial issue in the hands of a single federal judge in Houston.
That judge, U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes, has traveled the world giving lectures on ethics for the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, a professional association and research group that works with BP and other oil companies. The organization pays his travel expenses.
Hughes has also collected royalties from several energy companies, including ConocoPhillips and Devon Energy, from investments in mineral rights, his financial disclosure forms show.

The oil rig exploded 2 hours after a decision to ignore a "very large abnormality" in the well.

Employees on Deep Horizon claim the blowout preventer was knowingly damaged before the explosion. Was declared "not a big deal". BP also removed the critical drilling mud that is the "most important and effective way to restrict gasses and fluids held under pressure deep underground."
The 60 minutes article is very damning.


BP is so awesome. Why would why someone publicly attack such a company?
